Taskboard — Figma AI Designer Prompt

Use this document as a design brief for generating UI flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups in Figma with AI assistance.

1. Application Overview

Taskboard is a Trello-like Kanban project management web application. Users create Boards containing Lists (columns) and Cards (tasks). Cards support labels, checklists, comments, file attachments, due dates, card-to-card linking, and epic grouping. Boards also have Epics (large features spanning multiple cards) and Wikis (rich-text documentation pages).

Tech Stack

  • Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS (dark theme), React Router, @dnd-kit (drag-and-drop), Slate.js (rich text editor)
  • Backend: Flask + SQLAlchemy + PostgreSQL
  • Auth: JWT-based authentication

Design System Basics

  • Theme: Dark mode by default
  • Background: gray-900 (#111827) for page backgrounds, gray-800 (#1f2937) for card/panel surfaces, gray-700 (#374151) for inputs and hover states
  • Accent color: blue-600 (#2563eb) primary, blue-500 hover, blue-400 for text links
  • Text: white for headings, gray-300 for body text, gray-400 for secondary/muted text, gray-500 for placeholders
  • Borders: gray-700 for subtle dividers
  • Destructive: red-500/red-600 for delete/danger actions
  • Success: green-500/green-600
  • Border radius: rounded-lg (8px) for cards and inputs, rounded-md (6px) for buttons, rounded-full for badges/chips
  • Spacing: Tailwind's 4px base unit (p-4 = 16px, gap-6 = 24px)
  • Typography: System font stack; headings bold (font-bold), body medium (font-medium)

2. Navigation & Information Architecture

Global Navigation Bar (Navbar)

  • Logo: "Taskboard" wordmark + icon (left side), links to /boards
  • Nav links (desktop): "Home" → /home, "Boards" → /boards (only when logged in)
  • Auth section (right side):
    • Logged out: "Login" link + "Register" button (blue-600 filled)
    • Logged in: Username display + "Logout" button
  • Mobile: Hamburger menu icon that expands to show same links vertically
  • Height: 64px (h-16), bg-gray-800 with bottom border-gray-700

Board-Level Sidebar (BoardSidebar)

  • Fixed position on the right edge of the viewport, vertically centered
  • Contains links for the current board context:
    • 📋 Epics → /boards/:id/epics
    • 📚 Wikis → /boards/:id/wikis
    • 📜 History → /boards/:id/history
  • Active item has blue-600 background; inactive has gray-800 with hover-gray-700
  • Pill-shaped tabs with rounded-l-lg (left rounded only, flush to right edge)

8. States to Design

For each page, please design these states:

  1. Loading state: Skeleton/spinner while data loads
  2. Empty state: Helpful message + CTA when no data exists
  3. Populated state: Normal data display
  4. Error state: Error message display (toast notification pattern)
  5. Mobile responsive: Stack layouts vertically, hamburger nav, full-width cards

Special States

  • Card dragging: Ghost overlay of card at cursor position
  • Column dragging: Ghost overlay of column at cursor position
  • Inline editing: Input fields replacing display text (card name, description)
  • Modal overlay: Dark backdrop with centered modal card
  • Toast notifications: Top-right corner, auto-dismiss, types: success (green), error (red), info (blue)
  • Archived items: Dimmed with "Archived" badge

9. Responsive Breakpoints

Breakpoint Width Layout Changes
Mobile < 640px Single column, hamburger nav, stacked cards, full-width modals
Tablet 640-1024px 2-column grids, collapsible sidebar
Desktop > 1024px Full kanban horizontal scroll, 3-column card detail, sidebar visible

10. Design Priorities

  1. Board Detail (Kanban View) — This is the most-used page; prioritize its drag-and-drop UX
  2. Card Detail — Second most important; dense information layout
  3. Card Detail Modals — Many user workflows happen through modals
  4. Boards List — Entry point after login
  5. Epic Detail & Wiki Detail — Supporting features
  6. Auth Pages — Simple but must look polished
  7. Forms (Create/Edit) — Standard patterns, focus on rich text editor UX
