Description
"Guides creation of UI/UX designs, interactive prototypes, reusable components, and design specs in Adobe XD. Use when the user asks about Adobe XD artboards, prototype links, repeat grids, component states, design tokens export, or developer handoff."

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

  • Create or edit UI/UX designs using Adobe XD artboards and components
  • Build interactive prototypes with transitions, auto-animate, or voice triggers
  • Work with repeat grids, component states, or responsive resize
  • Export design specs or assets for developer handoff
  • Manage shared libraries, design tokens, or collaborate via shared links

How to use this skill

1. Design Creation

  1. Create artboards: Select device preset or custom size, name artboards by screen (e.g., "Login", "Dashboard").
  2. Build components: Select elements -> right-click -> "Make Component". Use slash naming for categories (e.g., Button/Primary, Button/Secondary).
  3. Add states: Select component -> "Default State" dropdown -> "New State" to create hover/active states.
  4. Use repeat grid: Select element -> "Repeat Grid" to create lists or card grids; drag handles to adjust count and spacing.

2. Prototyping

  1. Switch to Prototype mode.
  2. Drag a connector from a trigger element to the target artboard.
  3. Configure transition: trigger (Tap/Drag/Voice), action (Transition/Auto-Animate/Overlay), and easing.
  4. Preview with Play button (Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter).

3. Developer Handoff

  1. Click Share -> "Share for Development".
  2. Developers access the published link to inspect spacing, colors, fonts, and export assets.
Example prototype link setup:
  Trigger: Tap on "Login" button
  Action: Transition to "Dashboard" artboard
  Animation: Auto-Animate, 0.3s ease-out

Best Practices

  • Keep components consistent with a shared design library.
  • Ensure prototypes are fully linked with clear interaction annotations.
  • Export assets at 1x, 2x, and 3x for multi-density screens.
  • Use version history and shared links for team collaboration.
  • Note: Adobe has deprecated XD in favor of Figma; evaluate for new projects.
