Pixel New

Build Pixel 3 UI with a low-noise workflow: verify setup, map the UI, validate props, apply token-safe styling, and ship runnable Vue/Nuxt code.

Golden Rules

1. Import UI from @mekari/pixel3.
2. Use Pixel primitives before raw HTML equivalents.
3. Wrap validated fields in MpFormControl.
4. Verify props with Pixel MCP get-component before guessing.
5. Prefer design tokens over raw color, spacing, or typography values.
6. Use CSS Props for MpFlex, MpScrollbar, MpSkeleton, and Pixel.*; use css() only when CSS Props are unavailable.
7. Preserve the project's active token mode instead of mixing 2.1 and 2.4 ad hoc.

Workflow

1. Verify Setup

Read references/setup.md if package setup, plugin registration, or token mode is unclear.

2. Analyze the Request

• For Figma work: extract the node ID, then use Figma MCP get_design_context and get_screenshot.
• For text requests: break the UI into sections, states, interactions, and responsive behavior.
• Produce a short component plan before coding.

3. Map UI to Pixel Components

Read references/components.md, then validate any uncertain component with Pixel MCP get-component.

4. Apply Styling Safely

• Read references/design-tokens.md when choosing color, spacing, or typography.
• Read references/styling.md when deciding between CSS Props and css().

5. Produce Final Code

Read references/code-structure.md before writing the final Vue/Nuxt component.

MCP Usage

Pixel MCP

• get-docs - Pixel setup, component usage, design tokens, and implementation guides
• get-component - Component docs, props, slots, and events
• get-pattern - Pixel UI patterns and code examples
• get-template - Pixel templates and code examples
• hello-pixel - Connection test for the MCP server

Available prompts:

• implement-figma-to-pixel - Generate an implementation guide for converting Figma designs to Pixel 3 components
• create-design-to-pixel - Generate Vue component code from a natural-language UI description

Use get-docs first when setup or token mode is unclear, then use get-component for component APIs, get-pattern for reusable UI patterns, and get-template for starter layouts.

Figma MCP

• get_design_context for structure, assets, and code hints
• get_screenshot for visual verification
• get_metadata only for large-node navigation

Output Contract

Always produce:

1. Complete runnable Vue/Nuxt code
2. Required imports
3. Components used
4. Token and styling decisions
5. Assumptions, gaps, or unresolved API questions

QA Checklist

• Setup and token mode confirmed or explicitly called out
• Props verified against Pixel docs where uncertainty existed
• Layout and spacing match the intended hierarchy
• Hover, disabled, error, and loading states handled where relevant
• No stray inline styles or unnecessary raw values

Reference Loading Guide

• Read setup.md before coding if project readiness is uncertain.
• Read components.md when mapping UI or resolving prop issues.
• Read design-tokens.md when selecting tokens or spacing scale.
• Read styling.md when adding layout or custom visual rules.
• Read code-structure.md immediately before final code generation.
