Results for “design-research”

Creates or improves academic presentations with structured argument, communication-first design, and slide-by-slide content guidelines for conference papers, thesis defenses, and research talks.

Design search experiences that help users find what they need, recover from failure, and refine results.

UI/UX design system reference, pattern library, and focused review guidance for web and mobile applications. Use for targeted design research, pattern selection, UX audits, accessibility guidance, palette and typography selection, layout heuristics, and component pattern research. Covers 50+ styles, 97 color palettes, 57 font pairings, Web Interface Guidelines compliance, and concrete visual/usability improvements for modern SaaS and product interfaces.

Provides a curated library of design references covering typography, color systems, component patterns, animation, accessibility, and critique frameworks, plus a catalog of 59 brand design systems for UI generation.

Scans a codebase to extract design tokens, typography, colors, spacing, and brand patterns, then writes a Design Context section to CLAUDE.md without asking questions.

Generates a bespoke brand identity for a new project through a short interview, then writes it as a DESIGN.md file (Google Stitch format) in that project's own repo. Use when starting a new project and its visual identity isn't defined yet, when asked "what's the brand for X", "define the brand for this project", "new project design system", or before the first UI work on a fresh project. Do NOT use this to restyle or elevate a project that already has an identity — that's `taste-redesign`.

Creates unique web designs with brand identity, color palettes, typography, and modern UI/UX patterns. Use for brand identity development, visual design systems, layout composition, and responsive web design. Activate on "web design", "brand identity", "color palette", "UI design", "visual design", "layout". NOT for typography details (use typography-expert), color theory deep-dives (use color-theory-expert), design system tokens (use design-system-creator), or code implementation without design direction.

Generate or audit design systems, check visual consistency, and review PRs that touch styling.

Audits and upgrades existing websites and apps to premium quality by identifying generic AI patterns and applying high-end design standards without breaking functionality.

Design click and first-click tests to evaluate navigation clarity and information findability in user interfaces.

Turns messy documents, meeting transcripts, reports, or raw data into a polished, design-conscious HTML presentation through a structured workflow that filters content, defines style specs, and generates slides, with optional theme research and cross-session resume support.

Build visually engaging scientific slide decks for conferences, seminars, defenses, and research talks with structured planning, design templates, and automated image generation.

Creates a comprehensive end-to-end user journey map with stages, touchpoints, emotions, pain points, and opportunity areas for product design and UX analysis.

Polishes UI primitives one at a time using research-backed patterns: adds loading and icon states to buttons, replaces inline skeletons with primitives, adds secondary actions to errors, ensures 48px touch targets and visible focus indicators, and applies a standard motion token ladder.

World-class color theory expertise combining the scientific precision of Josef Albers' "Interaction of Color," the systematic thinking of color systems from Pantone and RAL, and the perceptual psychology insights from researchers like Bevil Conway. Color is not just aesthetics - it's communication, emotion, and usability compressed into wavelengths. Great color work is invisible when done right. Users don't notice "nice colors" - they notice when they can't read text, when buttons don't look clickable, when errors don't feel urgent, or when the interface feels "off" without knowing why. Color theory is the science of making the right thing feel obvious.
