## 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.

```text
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.
