Path Setup (Claude + Codex)

Set SKILLS_HOME before running search commands:

if [ -d "$HOME/.claude/skills" ]; then
  SKILLS_HOME="$HOME/.claude/skills"
else
  SKILLS_HOME="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills"
fi

How to Use This Skill

When user requests UI/UX work (design, build, create, implement, review, fix, improve), follow this workflow:

Step 1: Analyze User Requirements

Extract key information from user request:

• Product type: SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, dashboard, landing page, etc.
• Style keywords: minimal, playful, professional, elegant, dark mode, etc.
• Industry: healthcare, fintech, gaming, education, etc.
• Stack: React, Vue, Next.js, or default to html-tailwind

Step 2: Search Relevant Domains

Use search.py multiple times to gather comprehensive information. Search until you have enough context.

python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]

Recommended search order:

1. Product - Get style recommendations for product type
2. Style - Get detailed style guide (colors, effects, frameworks)
3. Typography - Get font pairings with Google Fonts imports
4. Color - Get color palette (Primary, Secondary, CTA, Background, Text, Border)
5. Landing - Get page structure (if landing page)
6. Chart - Get chart recommendations (if dashboard/analytics)
7. UX - Get best practices and anti-patterns
8. Stack - Get stack-specific guidelines (default: html-tailwind)

Step 3: Stack Guidelines (Default: html-tailwind)

If user doesn't specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.

python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind

Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter, shadcn

Example Workflow

User request: "Làm landing page cho dịch vụ chăm sóc da chuyên nghiệp"

AI should:

# 1. Search product type
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --domain product

# 2. Search style (based on industry: beauty, elegant)
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant minimal soft" --domain style

# 3. Search typography
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury" --domain typography

# 4. Search color palette
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness" --domain color

# 5. Search landing page structure
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "hero-centric social-proof" --domain landing

# 6. Search UX guidelines
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "animation" --domain ux
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "accessibility" --domain ux

# 7. Search stack guidelines (default: html-tailwind)
python3 ${SKILLS_HOME}/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "layout responsive" --stack html-tailwind

Then: Synthesize all search results and implement the design.

Tips for Better Results

1. Be specific with keywords - "healthcare SaaS dashboard" > "app"
2. Search multiple times - Different keywords reveal different insights
3. Combine domains - Style + Typography + Color = Complete design system
4. Always check UX - Search "animation", "z-index", "accessibility" for common issues
5. Use stack flag - Get implementation-specific best practices
6. Iterate - If first search doesn't match, try different keywords

Common Rules for Professional UI

These are frequently overlooked issues that make UI look unprofessional:

Icons & Visual Elements

| Rule | Do | Don't | |------|----|----- | | No emoji icons | Use SVG icons (Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons) | Use emojis like 🎨 🚀 ⚙️ as UI icons | | Stable hover states | Use color/opacity transitions on hover | Use scale transforms that shift layout | | Correct brand logos | Research official SVG from Simple Icons | Guess or use incorrect logo paths | | Consistent icon sizing | Use fixed viewBox (24x24) with w-6 h-6 | Mix different icon sizes randomly |

Interaction & Cursor

| Rule | Do | Don't | |------|----|----- | | Cursor pointer | Add cursor-pointer to all clickable/hoverable cards | Leave default cursor on interactive elements | | Hover feedback | Provide visual feedback (color, shadow, border) | No indication element is interactive | | Smooth transitions | Use transition-colors duration-200 | Instant state changes or too slow (>500ms) |

Light/Dark Mode Contrast

| Rule | Do | Don't | |------|----|----- | | Glass card light mode | Use bg-white/80 or higher opacity | Use bg-white/10 (too transparent) | | Text contrast light | Use #0F172A (slate-900) for text | Use #94A3B8 (slate-400) for body text | | Muted text light | Use #475569 (slate-600) minimum | Use gray-400 or lighter | | Border visibility | Use border-gray-200 in light mode | Use border-white/10 (invisible) |

Layout & Spacing

| Rule | Do | Don't | |------|----|----- | | Floating navbar | Add top-4 left-4 right-4 spacing | Stick navbar to top-0 left-0 right-0 | | Content padding | Account for fixed navbar height | Let content hide behind fixed elements | | Consistent max-width | Use same max-w-6xl or max-w-7xl | Mix different container widths |
