create_design_project

Start a new design project for screens, apps, or prototypes. Optionally attach design systems to reuse design tokens and components, and enable component reuse.

Instructions

Create a new design PROJECT (screens/app/prototype), optionally attaching design systems. Returns { projectId, url }. Call generate to start from the brief, or send_message to drive it.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesProject name.
briefNoOptional brief; stored and sent on `generate`.
designSystemIdsNoDesign system project ids to bind so generation reuses their tokens/components.
designComponentsNoEnable design-component reuse (defaults true when systems are attached).
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It discloses that the tool returns { projectId, url } and can optionally attach design systems. However, it does not mention behavioral details like permissions, storage limits, or error conditions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences. The first states purpose and optional behavior, the second provides workflow guidance. No unnecessary words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 4 parameters and no output schema, the description is fairly complete: it explains what the tool creates, what it returns, and how to proceed for generation. Lacks details on error handling and prerequisites, but is adequate for most use cases.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining that the brief is stored for use with generate and that design components can be enabled, linking to sibling tools and context.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states it creates a design project (screens/app/prototype) and optionally attaches design systems. It distinguishes from siblings like create_design_system and generate by specifying its role and pointing to alternatives.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides clear context: 'Call `generate` to start from the brief, or `send_message` to drive it.' This tells the agent when to use this tool versus siblings. However, it does not explicitly state when NOT to use it.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
