UI/UX Pro Max

Use this skill to turn a vague UI request into a concrete design system plus implementation guidance.

Role

This skill is for:

• design-system selection,
• palette and typography choices,
• UX review and remediation,
• stack-aware frontend implementation guidance,
• lightweight design-system persistence for multi-page work.

It is not a replacement for product strategy or user research. Use it to make execution sharper after the product direction is already roughly known.

Core workflow

1. Infer the request shape

Extract the minimum design signals first:

• product type,
• industry,
• style keywords,
• target platform,
• implementation stack.

If the user does not specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.

2. Generate the design system first

Use the helper script to produce a compact design recommendation:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "<product_type> <industry> <keywords>" --design-system -p "Project Name"

This produces:

• recommended style direction,
• palette family,
• typography direction,
• interaction / visual effects,
• landing or layout bias,
• anti-patterns to avoid.

If the work spans multiple turns or pages, persist the design system:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name"
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name" --page "dashboard"

This creates:

• design-system/MASTER.md
• optional page-level override notes under design-system/pages/

3. Pull targeted guidance only when needed

Use a focused search instead of loading everything at once:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "glassmorphism dark" --domain style
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "animation accessibility" --domain ux
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "real-time dashboard" --domain chart
python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "elegant luxury serif" --domain typography

Supported domains:

• product
• style
• color
• typography
• landing
• chart
• ux

4. Add stack-specific guidance before coding

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "forms table responsive" --stack html-tailwind

Supported stacks:

• html-tailwind
• react
• nextjs
• vue
• svelte
• swiftui
• react-native
• flutter
• shadcn
• jetpack-compose

5. Synthesize before implementation

After gathering the design system, convert it into:

• layout structure,
• component rules,
• visual tokens,
• interaction rules,
• accessibility constraints,
• implementation notes for the chosen stack.

Do not dump raw search output into the final answer. Use it to justify a coherent design direction.

Default output shape

A good response should usually include:

1. product and UI framing,
2. recommended style system,
3. palette and typography,
4. component and layout rules,
5. accessibility and interaction checks,
6. stack-aware implementation notes.

Safety rules

• Do not hardcode a design language without connecting it to the product type.
• Do not use emoji as primary UI iconography.
• Do not weaken text contrast for visual flair.
• Do not scale interactive cards on hover if it destabilizes layout.
• Do not use animation that violates prefers-reduced-motion.
• Do not invent unsupported helper scripts or datasets; use the bundled search.py and data/ui-reasoning.csv only.
