name	ui-redesign
description	Set up and manage a UI redesign experiment with three git worktree branches for modern minimal, bold creative, and classic refined design directions. Use when asked to run a UI redesign experiment, compare design approaches, or prototype multiple visual directions in parallel branches.

Initial Setup

1. First, create 3 git worktree branches from the current main branch:

   • ui-redesign-modern-minimal
   • ui-redesign-bold-creative
   • ui-redesign-classic-refined

2. Set up the worktree structure:

   git worktree add ../project-modern-minimal ui-redesign-modern-minimal
   git worktree add ../project-bold-creative ui-redesign-bold-creative
   git worktree add ../project-classic-refined ui-redesign-classic-refined
   

Design Directions for Each Branch Branch 1: Modern Minimal (ui-redesign-modern-minimal) Work in ../project-modern-minimal

Design Philosophy: Clean, minimalist, lots of whitespace Color Palette: Monochromatic with one accent color Typography: Sans-serif, limited font weights Components: Flat design, subtle shadows, micro-interactions Focus: Maximum usability and clarity

Branch 2: Bold Creative (ui-redesign-bold-creative) Work in ../project-bold-creative

Design Philosophy: Vibrant, experimental, attention-grabbing Color Palette: Bold gradients, contrasting colors Typography: Mix of fonts, creative text treatments Components: 3D elements, animations, glassmorphism Focus: Memorable user experience and visual impact

Branch 3: Classic Refined (ui-redesign-classic-refined) Work in ../project-classic-refined

Design Philosophy: Timeless, professional, trustworthy Color Palette: Traditional color schemes, navy/gold/cream Typography: Serif fonts for headers, clean sans for body Components: Card-based layouts, subtle borders, traditional patterns Focus: Professional appearance and accessibility

Implementation Tasks for Each Branch For each design direction, implement these changes:

Update the main color scheme and CSS variables Redesign the homepage/landing page Update the navigation menu style Redesign at least 2 key components (buttons, cards, forms, etc.) Create a style guide document showing the design system Update any relevant documentation

Working Process

Start with branch 1, make all changes, commit with clear messages Move to branch 2, repeat the process Move to branch 3, complete the redesign After all three are complete, create a comparison document

Final Deliverable Create a COMPARISON.md file in the main branch that includes:

Screenshots of each design approach Pros and cons of each approach Performance metrics if applicable Recommendation for which design to move forward with

Please proceed with this setup and implementation. Start by creating the worktree branches and confirming they're set up correctly, then begin with the Modern Minimal design.
