Step 7: Execute Decision

STEP GOAL:

Execute the designer decision by routing to the appropriate operation: reuse existing component, add variant to existing, or create new component.

MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES (READ FIRST):

Universal Rules:

🛑 NEVER generate content without user input
📖 CRITICAL: Read the complete step file before taking any action
🔄 CRITICAL: When loading next step with 'C', ensure entire file is read
📋 YOU ARE A FACILITATOR, not a content generator
✅ YOU MUST ALWAYS SPEAK OUTPUT in your Agent communication style with the config {communication_language}

Role Reinforcement:

✅ You are the Design System Architect guiding design system creation and maintenance
✅ If you already have been given a name, communication_style and persona, continue to use those while playing this new role
✅ We engage in collaborative dialogue, not command-response
✅ You bring design system expertise and component analysis, user brings design knowledge and project context
✅ Maintain systematic and analytical tone throughout

Step-Specific Rules:

🎯 Focus ONLY on this step's specific goal — do not skip ahead
🚫 FORBIDDEN to jump to later steps before this step is complete
💬 Approach: Systematic execution with clear reporting
📋 All outputs must be documented and presented to user

EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:

🎯 Execute each instruction in the sequence below
💾 Document all findings and decisions
📖 Present results to user before proceeding
🚫 FORBIDDEN to skip instructions or optimize the sequence

CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:

Available context: Previous step outputs and project configuration
Focus: This step's specific goal only
Limits: Do not perform actions belonging to subsequent steps
Dependencies: Requires all previous steps to be completed

Sequence of Instructions (Do not deviate, skip, or optimize)

Execution Paths

Path A: Reuse Existing Component

Designer chose to use existing component as-is

Path B: Add Variant

Designer chose to add variant to existing component

Path C: Create New Component

Designer chose to create new component

Path A: Reuse Existing Component

Step 1: Confirm Action

``` ✅ Reusing Button [btn-001] I'll update your page spec to reference the existing component. ````

Step 2: Extract Page-Specific Content

From complete specification, extract:

Labels/text content
Page-specific why/purpose
Error messages
Contextual information

Example:

Page-Specific Content:
- label: "Continue"
- why: "Navigate to next step in onboarding"
- context: "Multi-step form navigation"
````

### Step 3: Create Reference

<action>
Create reference to existing component:
- Component ID: btn-001
- Variant: primary (or whichever applies)
- Page-specific content
</action>

**Output:**

yaml

C-UX-Scenarios/onboarding-page.md

Continue Button: component: Button.primary [btn-001] why: Navigate to next step in onboarding label: 'Continue'


### Step 4: Update Component Usage

<action>
Update design system component to track usage:
- Add page to "Used In" list
- Increment usage count
</action>

**Update:**

yaml

D-Design-System/components/button.md

Used In:

Login page (login button)
Signup page (create account button)
Dashboard (action buttons)
Onboarding page (continue button) ← Added
```
### Step 5: Complete

<output>
```

✅ Done! Button [btn-001] is now used on onboarding page.

Page spec updated with reference. Component usage tracked.

</output>

**Return to Phase 4**

</output>

### Step 2: Extract Component-Level Info

<action>
From complete specification, extract:
- Variant-specific styling
- Variant-specific states
- Variant-specific behaviors
</action>

**Example:**
```yaml
Navigation Variant:
- icon: arrow-right
- loading_state: true
- hover_animation: icon_shift

Step 3: Update Component Definition

Add variant to existing component:

Add to variants list
Document variant-specific attributes
Maintain shared attributes

Update:

# D-Design-System/components/button.md

Button Component [btn-001]:
  variants:
    - primary (submit actions)
    - secondary (cancel actions)
    - navigation (continue/next actions)  ← Added

  shared_states:
    - default, hover, active, disabled

  variant_specific:
    navigation:
      icon: arrow-right
      loading_state: true
      hover_animation: icon_shift

Step 4: Create Reference

Create reference with variant specified:

Output:

# C-UX-Scenarios/onboarding-page.md

Continue Button:
  component: Button.navigation [btn-001]  ← Variant specified
  why: Navigate to next step in onboarding
  label: 'Continue'

Step 5: Update Usage Tracking

Track variant usage:

Update:

# D-Design-System/components/button.md

Variant Usage:
  primary: 5 pages
  secondary: 3 pages
  navigation: 1 page  ← Added

Step 6: Complete

``` ✅ Done! Navigation variant added to Button [btn-001]. Component definition updated. Page spec created with variant reference. Variant usage tracked. ```

Return to Phase 4

Path C: Create New Component

Step 1: Confirm Action

``` ✅ Creating new Navigation Button [btn-002] I'll create the component definition and set up the reference. ```

Step 2: Generate Component ID

Generate unique component ID:

Check existing IDs
Increment counter for type
Format: [type-prefix]-[number]

Example:


Existing Button IDs: btn-001
New ID: btn-002

````

### Step 3: Extract Component-Level Info

<action>
From complete specification, extract:
- Visual attributes (size, shape, color)
- States (default, hover, active, disabled, loading)
- Behaviors (interactions, animations)
- Styling (design tokens or Figma reference)
</action>

**Example:**

yaml Component-Level Info: type: Button purpose: Navigation actions states: [default, hover, active, disabled, loading] icon: arrow-right size: medium color: blue shape: rounded hover_animation: icon_shift


### Step 4: Create Component File
