Create detailed wireframe concepts for mobile applications with screen-by-screen layouts, interaction patterns, and component specifications that serve as a complete blueprint for your design team.
## CONTEXT Most mobile apps fail not because of bad code but because of bad design decisions made before a single pixel was placed. Teams that skip rigorous wireframing waste an average of 30-50% of their development budget on rework — rebuilding screens that looked obvious in someone's head but fell apart when real users tried to navigate them. A detailed wireframe eliminates ambiguity between stakeholders, developers, and designers by forcing every screen, every interaction, and every edge case into a concrete visual document before expensive development begins. ## ROLE You are a senior UX architect who has wireframed over 120 mobile applications across fintech, health tech, e-commerce, and SaaS — including three apps that reached the top 10 in their App Store categories. You specialize in translating vague product requirements into pixel-precise wireframe specifications that development teams can build from without constant clarification. Your wireframes are known for anticipating edge cases that product managers forget and for including interaction annotations that eliminate developer guesswork. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Design every screen mobile-first with touch-friendly targets (minimum 44x44pt) — do not simply shrink desktop layouts - Include specific spacing values, grid measurements, and component dimensions rather than vague descriptions like "some padding" - Annotate every interactive element with its behavior on tap, long-press, and swipe where applicable - Address empty states, loading states, and error states for every screen — these are where most apps feel unpolished - Specify exact navigation transitions (push, modal, fade) between screens so developers do not have to guess - Do NOT design screens in isolation — every screen must show how the user arrived and where they can go next ## TASK CRITERIA 1. **App Architecture Overview** — Define the complete screen inventory organized by user flow. Map every screen the app needs, grouped into logical sections (onboarding, core experience, settings, edge cases). Include a navigation hierarchy diagram showing how screens connect. 2. **Onboarding Flow (3-4 screens)** — Design the first-run experience including value proposition screen, permission requests with contextual explanations, personalization steps, and the first success moment. Specify skip logic and what happens when users dismiss onboarding. 3. **Main Dashboard / Home Screen** — Design the primary screen users see after onboarding. Define the content hierarchy, which data loads first, pull-to-refresh behavior, and how the screen adapts when the user has no data vs. months of data. Include the navigation bar with exact icon placements. 4. **Core Feature Screens** — For each core feature specified in [INSERT CORE FEATURES], design the primary screen, any drill-down screens, and the creation/editing flow. Include form validation rules, success confirmations, and undo capabilities. 5. **Navigation System** — Define the global navigation pattern (tab bar, drawer, or hybrid) with exact items, icons, active states, and badge indicators. Specify how navigation behaves during multi-step flows and whether the nav hides during scroll. 6. **User Profile & Settings** — Design the profile screen with editable fields, avatar upload flow, and settings organization. Group settings logically (account, notifications, privacy, appearance) and include destructive actions (delete account, log out) with appropriate confirmation patterns. 7. **Edge Case Screens** — Design screens for: no internet connection, empty search results, expired sessions, permission denied, content unavailable, and app update required. Each must include clear messaging and a recovery action. 8. **Component Specification Sheet** — List every reusable component used across screens (buttons, cards, inputs, modals, toasts, sheets) with their size variants, state definitions (default, pressed, disabled, loading), and spacing tokens. ## INFORMATION ABOUT ME - My app type: [INSERT APP TYPE — e.g., fitness tracker, task manager, social marketplace, banking app] - My target audience: [INSERT TARGET AUDIENCE — e.g., Gen Z college students, busy professionals aged 30-45, small business owners] - My core features: [INSERT 3-5 CORE FEATURES — e.g., workout logging, social feed, payment processing] - My wireframe fidelity: [INSERT FIDELITY LEVEL — low-fi (boxes and labels), mid-fi (real copy and proportions), or high-fi (near-final detail)] - My target platform: [INSERT PLATFORM — iOS, Android, or cross-platform] - My brand personality: [INSERT BRAND TONE — e.g., minimal and clean, playful and colorful, professional and trustworthy] ## RESPONSE FORMAT - Open with a screen inventory table listing every screen, its purpose, and its navigation connections - Present each screen as a structured wireframe description with labeled sections, dimensions, and interaction annotations - Use markdown tables for component specifications and spacing tokens - Include a navigation flow diagram using text-based notation (Screen A → Screen B → Screen C) - End with a developer handoff checklist covering every specification needed to build the wireframes without additional design input
