When to use it

It translates a complex technical process into visible stages, gates, evidence, and next actions—the core of a useful workflow product.

Prompt

Design and implement a modernization workflow studio for [SYSTEM OR MIGRATION]. Reuse the project's architecture and design system.

Model a clear multi-stage journey: environment readiness, assessment, prioritized plan, execution progress, and validation. Provide a persistent stage navigator, current-stage guidance, evidence/status summaries, blockers, and the next safe action. Use realistic findings and tasks rather than placeholder text.

Choose a professional light visual system with strong hierarchy, calm neutral surfaces, a single primary accent, semantic statuses with text/icons, and progressive disclosure for technical detail. The interface should reduce uncertainty during a long-running effort, not resemble a generic admin panel.

Implement stage navigation, expandable findings, task state changes, progress calculation, validation results, loading/empty/error/blocked states, and persistence using existing project patterns. Prevent skipping required gates without explanation. On mobile, retain progress and next action while collapsing secondary evidence deliberately.

Keep branding and content original. Verify gating logic, keyboard flow, responsive rendering, and state recovery. Finish with files changed, commands/results, assumptions, and screenshots of overview and one detail stage.
