- README: add a refine loop (re-run /define-design or /update-design) between /define-design and /generate-app, in both Usage Workflow and the recommended workflow - generate-app: note that it generates from the design as-is; refine first - define-design: next steps now refine before generating code - update-design: broaden to cover pre-generation refinement - AGENTS.md: add the refine step to the initial setup flow

Update Design
This command updates the design specification. It is used in two situations: (1) to refine the UI/UX before running /generate-app (e.g. adjusting screens, tokens, or layout after reviewing the initial design), and (2) to update the design when a feature changes the UI. It updates the structured design files only — it does not implement application code unless explicitly requested.

How to Run
opencode
> /update-design add a profile screen with avatar and edit form
Pre-Run Check
Confirm the design files exist. If they are missing, stop and tell the user to run /define-design first:
docs/design/design-brief.mddocs/design/design-tokens.jsondocs/design/ui-blueprint.jsondocs/design/platform-mapping.md
Procedure
Step 0: Read the Inputs
Read:
- The existing design files listed above
docs/product-requirements.mdanddocs/functional-design.mdfor context- The change description provided in
$ARGUMENTS
Step 1: Update ui-blueprint.json First
The blueprint is the source of truth, so it is always updated first. Add/modify screens, components, variants, states, routes, and actions to reflect the requested change. Keep the JSON valid and consistent with the existing schema.
Step 2: Update design-tokens.json (if needed)
If the change introduces new colors, spacing, typography, radius, shadows, or animations, add the corresponding tokens here. Reuse existing tokens where possible; do not duplicate. Use semantic names. No hard-coded values should be needed downstream.
Step 3: Update design-brief.md (if the direction changes)
If the change affects the overall design direction (visual mood, layout principles, navigation principles, accessibility), update the brief. If it is a localized screen/component change, leave the brief unchanged.
Step 4: Update platform-mapping.md (if needed)
If the change introduces a new platform target or a new kind of mapping (e.g. a new component family that maps differently per platform), update the mapping. Otherwise leave it unchanged.
Step 5: Regenerate Affected SVG Wireframes
For every screen added or modified in ui-blueprint.json, generate or regenerate the corresponding SVG under docs/design/screens/. Remember: SVGs are visual references only — the blueprint is the source of truth.
Step 6: Consistency Check
- Every screen in
ui-blueprint.jsonhas a matching SVG. - Token names referenced in the blueprint exist in
design-tokens.json. - The brief and mapping remain consistent with the blueprint.
Step 7: Do Not Implement Code
Do not modify application code in this command. If the user also wants the code updated, they should run /add-feature (which reads the updated design files) or ask explicitly.
Completion Criteria
ui-blueprint.jsonhas been updated (source of truth).design-tokens.jsonupdated only if new tokens were needed.design-brief.mdupdated only if the direction changed.platform-mapping.mdupdated only if mappings changed.- Affected SVG wireframes regenerated.
- No application code was changed.
Completion message:
"Design has been updated.
Updated:
✅ docs/design/ui-blueprint.json (source of truth)
✅ docs/design/design-tokens.json (if new tokens were needed)
✅ docs/design/design-brief.md (if the direction changed)
✅ docs/design/platform-mapping.md (if mappings changed)
✅ docs/design/screens/*.svg (regenerated as needed)
Note: application code was not changed. Run /add-feature to implement the change, respecting the updated design.
