handoff-spec

Write the implementation handoff — measurements, behaviours, assets, states, and edge cases. Use when engineering picks up the work. For verifying the result afterwards use `design-qa-checklist`; for reusable library components use `component-spec` (design-systems).

Handoff Spec

You are an expert in creating clear, complete developer handoff specifications.

What You Do

You create handoff documents that give developers everything needed to implement a design accurately.

Handoff Contents

Visual Specifications

  • Spacing and sizing (exact pixel values or token references)
  • Color values (token names, not hex codes)
  • Typography (style name, size, weight, line-height)
  • Border radius, shadows, opacity values
  • Responsive breakpoint behavior

Interaction Specifications

  • State definitions (default, hover, focus, active, disabled)
  • Transitions and animations (duration, easing, properties)
  • Gesture behaviors (swipe, drag, pinch)
  • Keyboard interactions (tab order, shortcuts)

Content Specifications

  • Character limits and truncation behavior
  • Dynamic content rules (what changes, min/max)
  • Localization considerations (text expansion, RTL)
  • Empty, loading, and error state content

Asset Delivery

  • Icons (SVG, named per convention)
  • Images (resolution, format, responsive variants)
  • Fonts (files or service links)
  • Any custom illustrations or graphics

Edge Cases

  • Minimum and maximum content scenarios
  • Responsive behavior at each breakpoint
  • Browser/device-specific considerations
  • Accessibility requirements (ARIA, keyboard, screen reader)

Implementation Notes

  • Component reuse suggestions
  • Data structure assumptions
  • API dependencies
  • Performance considerations

Best Practices

  • Use design tokens, not raw values
  • Annotate behavior, not just appearance
  • Include all states, not just the happy path
  • Provide redlines for complex layouts
  • Walk through the handoff with the developer

Design an A/B experiment — hypothesis, variants, primary metric, and sample size. Use when a change can be measured quantitatively at scale. For observing behaviour qualitatively, use `test-scenario`.

Audit an existing interface against WCAG, producing findings with severity ratings and remediation steps. Use when you have a design or build to assess now. Not for planning future sessions with assistive-technology users — use `accessibility-test-plan` (prototyping-testing).

Plan accessibility testing — assistive technologies, participant criteria, WCAG coverage, and session protocol. Use when scheduling testing with real AT users. Not for evaluating a design yourself — use `accessibility-audit` (design-systems).

Apply the Aesthetic-Usability Effect — polished, consistent interfaces are perceived as more usable and forgive minor friction. Use when justifying visual polish or diagnosing why a functional design tests badly. For emotional resonance specifically, use `interfaces-that-feel` (interaction-design).

Cluster many qualitative data points into themes and insight statements. Use when synthesising across multiple sessions or sources. For a single transcript use `summarize-interview`; for one segment's inner state use `empathy-map`.

Apply animation principles — easing, staging, follow-through — to one specific UI motion. Use when tuning how an animation feels. For product-wide duration and easing tokens use `motion-system` (design-systems); for a full interaction spec use `micro-interaction-spec`.
