# Create UX Design Workflow

**Goal:** Create comprehensive UX design specifications through collaborative visual exploration and informed decision-making where you act as a UX facilitator working with a product stakeholder.

---

## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE

This uses **micro-file architecture** for disciplined execution:

- Each step is a self-contained file with embedded rules
- Steps that gather new information from the user halt for input
- Steps that synthesize already-gathered information write output and immediately load the next step — no [C] gate needed
- Document state tracked in frontmatter
- Append-only document building through conversation

**SYNTHESIS FLOWS:** When a step generates content from already-gathered information, write the output and immediately load the next step — no [C] gate needed.

## INITIALIZATION

### Configuration Loading

Load config from `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/config.yaml` and resolve:

- `project_name`, `output_folder`, `planning_artifacts`, `user_name`
- `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `user_skill_level`
- `date` as system-generated current datetime

### Paths

- `installed_path` = `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/create-ux-design`
- `template_path` = `{installed_path}/ux-design-template.md`
- `default_output_file` = `{planning_artifacts}/ux-design-specification.md`

## EXECUTION

- YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config `{communication_language}`
- Read fully and follow: `{project-root}/_bmad/bmm/workflows/2-plan-workflows/create-ux-design/steps/step-01-init.md` to begin the UX design workflow.
