Workflow

Page Planning Workflow

> This produces a structured page blueprint. Run it standalone, or use it as Phase -1 before $generate.

Step 1 — Assess What's Known

Score the user's input:

| Signal | Check | |--------|-------| | Page type (landing, PDP, homepage, collection, editorial, listicle, bundle) | stated? | | Target audience / persona | described? | | Products or collection to feature | named? | | Traffic source (Meta, Google, TikTok, email, organic) | mentioned? | | Conversion goal (purchase, signup, browse) | clear? | | Reference URL or ad creative | provided? | | Tone/style preference | specified? |

• 4+ signals present → proceed to Step 3 (auto-plan)
• < 4 signals → proceed to Step 2 (ask questions)

Step 2 — Adaptive Discovery

Ask ONLY questions whose answers are missing. Never ask more than 4 at once.

Tier 1 (always ask if missing):

1. "What type of page?" (landing / PDP / homepage / collection / editorial)
2. "Who is this for?" (audience: demographics + pain point)
3. "What should visitors do?" (single conversion goal)

Tier 2 (ask if Tier 1 reveals complexity):

1. "Where does traffic come from?" (impacts visual density + social proof weight)
2. "Any sections you specifically want?" (hero style, FAQ, comparison table, etc.)
3. "Should this feel bold/energetic or minimal/premium?" (visual approach)
4. "Any animations or scroll effects?" (parallax, reveal-on-scroll, sticky elements)

Follow-up triggers:

• Multiple products mentioned → "Which is the hero product? Are others cross-sells or equals?"
• Health/beauty vertical → "Do you have clinical data or certifications to feature?"
• Ad creative provided → "Should the page match the ad's exact style, or just the message?"

Step 3 — Generate Page Plan

Use MCP tools to gather brand context:

get_brand_kit        → colors, fonts, voice, spacing
get_design_md        → brand philosophy + don'ts
list_products        → available product data
get_navigation       → navbar/footer links

Then produce a structured plan covering:

A. Section Sequence (ordered list) For each section:

• Section ID + type (e.g. hero-split, social-proof-bar, features-grid)
• Purpose (what it communicates / why it's here in this position)
• Key content (headline direction, imagery type, specific products)
• Island requirement (if interactive: BuyBox, FAQ, ReviewCarousel, etc.)
• Animation (fade-up, parallax, sticky, reveal, none)

B. Visual Rhythm

• Spacing pattern (tight-loose-tight, progressive relaxation, etc.)
• Color temperature flow (hero warm → middle neutral → CTA warm)
• Typography hierarchy (display → heading → body sizes)

C. Inter-Section Communication

• Narrative thread (how sections connect logically)
• CTA placement strategy (where and how many)
• Social proof distribution (where trust signals appear and why)
• Scroll incentives (what makes user keep scrolling)

D. Technical Requirements

• Islands needed (exact list)
• Custom animations (scroll-triggered reveals, parallax, sticky)
• Asset requirements (hero image, lifestyle shots, textures, icons)

Step 4 — Present Plan for Approval

Show the plan to the user in this format:

📋 Page Plan: [Page Type] for [Audience]

Goal: [Conversion goal]
Sections: [N] | Islands: [list] | Style: [visual approach]

Section Layout:
1. [hero-split] — Hook headline + product image + primary CTA
   Animation: fade-up on load
2. [trust-bar] — Star rating + press logos + "X customers served"
   Animation: none (instant credibility)
3. [problem-solution] — Pain → product as answer (emotional)
   Animation: reveal on scroll
...

Visual Flow: [spacing + color temperature description]
CTA Strategy: [where + how many]

Proceed with this plan? (Or tell me what to change)

Wait for user confirmation. If user suggests changes, update plan and re-present.

Step 5 — Next Steps

Once approved, the user can:

• Run $generate — carry the plan forward as the binding blueprint
• Or hand off the plan to any generation flow

The plan becomes BINDING for generation:

• Phase 0 context gathering targets the plan's requirements
• Phase 1 asset generation follows the plan's imagery needs
• Phase 2 HTML generation follows the plan's section sequence EXACTLY
• Section purposes from the plan guide the copywriting
• Animation choices from the plan guide the JS/CSS
