CO-STAR UI Creator for React/Next.js: structured prompting to build or integrate UI (components, pages, design systems) or to create custom CO-STAR prompts. Use when the user wants to add hero sections, dashboards, design tokens, shadcn/Magic UI/Aceternity integration, Newsprint design system, or to draft their own CO-STAR prompt (Context, Objective, Style, Tone, Audience, Response). Always run discovery questions first, then plan, then implementation.

Discovery questions first, then integration plan and code. | | Create a custom CO-STAR prompt: their own prompt, design system doc, or CO-STAR template from scratch | Prompt creator mode | Follow references/co-star-creator.md. Guide them through Context, Objective, Style, Tone, Audience, Response. | | Unclear or mixed | Weigh main ask. Implementation → prompt first; "create my prompt" → creator first. |
