Team UX Improve
Systematic UX improvement pipeline: scan -> diagnose -> design -> implement -> test. Built on team-worker agent architecture — all worker roles share a single agent definition with role-specific Phase 2-4 loaded from roles/<role>/role.md.

Role Registry
| Role | Path | Prefix | Inner Loop | |------|------|--------|------------| | coordinator | roles/coordinator/role.md | — | — | | scanner | roles/scanner/role.md | SCAN-* | false | | diagnoser | roles/diagnoser/role.md | DIAG-* | false | | designer | roles/designer/role.md | DESIGN-* | false | | implementer | roles/implementer/role.md | IMPL-* | true | | tester | roles/tester/role.md | TEST-* | false |
Utility Member Registry
Coordinator-only: Utility members can only be spawned by Coordinator. Workers CANNOT call spawn_agent() to spawn utility members.
| Utility Member | Path | Callable By | Purpose | |----------------|------|-------------|---------| | explorer | roles/explorer/role.md | Coordinator only | Explore codebase for UI component patterns and framework-specific patterns |
Role Router
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- Has
--role <name>→ Readroles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4 - No
--role→roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router
Delegation Lock
Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.
Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:
| Tool Call | Verdict | Reason |
|-----------|---------|--------|
| spawn_agent, wait_agent, close_agent, send_message, assign_task | ALLOWED | Orchestration |
| list_agents | ALLOWED | Agent health check |
| request_user_input | ALLOWED | User interaction |
| mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg | ALLOWED | Message bus |
| Read/Write on .workflow/.team/ files | ALLOWED | Session state |
| Read on roles/, commands/, specs/ | ALLOWED | Loading own instructions |
| Read/Grep/Glob on project source code | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
| Edit on any file outside .workflow/ | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
| Bash("ccw cli ...") | BLOCKED | Only workers call CLI |
| Bash running build/test/lint commands | BLOCKED | Delegate to worker |
If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.
No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.
Shared Constants
- Session prefix:
ux-improve - Session path:
.workflow/.team/ux-improve-<timestamp>/ - CLI tools:
ccw cli --mode analysis(read-only),ccw cli --mode write(modifications) - Message bus:
mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(session_id=<session-id>, ...) - Max test iterations: 5
Worker Spawn Template
Coordinator spawns workers using this template:
spawn_agent({
agent_type: "team_worker",
task_name: "<task-id>",
fork_context: false,
items: [
{ type: "text", text: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>
Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.` },
{ type: "text", text: `## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>` },
{ type: "text", text: `## Upstream Context
<prev_context>` }
]
})
After spawning, use wait_agent({ targets: [...], timeout_ms: 900000 }) to collect results, then close_agent({ target }) each worker.
Model Selection Guide
UX improvement has an explorer utility member and a scan-diagnose-design-implement-test pipeline.
| Role | reasoning_effort | Rationale | |------|-------------------|-----------| | explorer | low | File reading and pattern summarization only (utility member) | | scanner | medium | Broad UI/UX issue scanning, pattern-based detection | | diagnoser | high | Root cause diagnosis of UX issues requires deep analysis | | designer | high | UX improvement design needs careful user experience reasoning | | implementer | high | UI code changes must preserve existing behavior | | tester | medium | Test execution follows defined UX verification criteria |

v4 Agent Coordination
Message Semantics
| Intent | API | Example |
|--------|-----|---------|
| Queue supplementary info (don't interrupt) | send_message | Send explorer findings to running scanner |
| Assign implementation from design | assign_task | Assign IMPL task from designer output |
| Check running agents | list_agents | Verify agent health during resume |
Agent Health Check
Use list_agents({}) in handleResume and handleComplete:
// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with meta.json active tasks
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending
Named Agent Targeting
Workers are spawned with task_name: "<task-id>" enabling direct addressing:
send_message({ target: "SCAN-001", items: [...] })-- send explorer findings to scannerassign_task({ target: "IMPL-001", items: [...] })-- assign UX fix from designer outputclose_agent({ target: "TEST-001" })-- cleanup after UX testing
Explorer-Assisted Scanning
Coordinator spawns explorer (utility member) early to gather codebase context, then sends findings to scanner via upstream context:
// Explorer results inform scanner's scope
send_message({
target: "SCAN-001",
items: [
{ type: "text", text: `## Explorer Findings
component_patterns: <explorer's component inventory>
framework: <detected framework>
ui_library: <detected UI library>` }
]
})
Error Handling
| Scenario | Resolution | |----------|------------| | Unknown command | Error with available command list | | Role not found | Error with role registry | | Project path invalid | Re-prompt user for valid path | | Framework detection fails | request_user_input for framework selection | | Session corruption | Attempt recovery, fallback to manual | | Fast-advance conflict | Coordinator reconciles on next callback | | No UI issues found | Complete with empty fix list, generate clean bill report | | Test iterations exceeded | Accept current state, continue to completion |
