UX Flow

Overview

Part of StyleSeed, this skill designs flows before screens. It uses proven UX patterns to define entry points, exits, screen inventory, and navigation structure so the implementation has a coherent user journey instead of a pile of disconnected pages.

When to Use

• Use when planning onboarding, checkout, account management, dashboards, or drill-down flows
• Use when a new feature spans multiple screens or modal states
• Use when users need a clear path through a task instead of a single isolated page
• Use when the UI needs navigation logic before components are built

How It Works

Information Architecture Principles

• progressive disclosure: reveal complexity only when needed
• Miller's Law: chunk content into manageable groups
• Hick's Law: minimize decision overload on each screen

Common Navigation Models

• hub and spoke for dashboards and detail views
• linear flow for onboarding, forms, and checkout
• tab navigation for 3 to 5 top-level areas

Flow Rules

• every flow has a clear entry point
• every flow has a clear exit or success condition
• key features should usually be reachable within three taps from home
• non-root screens need back navigation
• loading, empty, and error states need explicit recovery paths

Output

Provide:

1. An ASCII flow diagram
2. A screen inventory with each screen's purpose
3. Edge cases for loading, empty, and error states
4. Recommended page scaffolds and reusable patterns to implement next

Best Practices

• Optimize for clarity before density
• Let one screen answer one primary question
• Keep escape hatches visible for risky or destructive steps
• Define state transitions before drawing detailed layouts
