• interruptible - Animations must be interruptible; user tap/gesture cancels in-progress animation immediately (Apple HIG)
• no-blocking-animation - Never block user input during an animation; UI must stay interactive (Apple HIG)
• fade-crossfade - Use crossfade for content replacement within the same container (MD)
• scale-feedback - Subtle scale (0.95–1.05) on press for tappable cards/buttons; restore on release (HIG, MD)
• gesture-feedback - Drag, swipe, and pinch must provide real-time visual response tracking the finger (MD Motion)
• hierarchy-motion - Use translate/scale direction to express hierarchy: enter from below = deeper, exit upward = back (MD)
• motion-consistency - Unify duration/easing tokens globally; all animations share the same rhythm and feel
• opacity-threshold - Fading elements should not linger below opacity 0.2; either fade fully or remain visible
• modal-motion - Modals/sheets should animate from their trigger source (scale+fade or slide-in) for spatial context (HIG, MD)
• navigation-direction - Forward navigation animates left/up; backward animates right/down — keep direction logically consistent (HIG)

• back-stack-integrity - Never silently reset the navigation stack or unexpectedly jump to home (HIG, MD)
• navigation-consistency - Navigation placement must stay the same across all pages; don't change by page type
• avoid-mixed-patterns - Don't mix Tab + Sidebar + Bottom Nav at the same hierarchy level
• modal-vs-navigation - Modals must not be used for primary navigation flows; they break the user's path (HIG)

• responsive-chart - Charts must reflow or simplify on small screens (e.g. horizontal bar instead of vertical, fewer ticks)
• empty-data-state - Show meaningful empty state when no data exists ("No data yet" + guidance), not a blank chart (MD)
• loading-chart - Use skeleton or shimmer placeholder while chart data loads; don't show an empty axis frame
• animation-optional - Chart entrance animations must respect prefers-reduced-motion; data should be readable immediately (HIG)
• large-dataset - For 1000+ data points, aggregate or sample; provide drill-down for detail instead of rendering all (MD)
• number-formatting - Use locale-aware formatting for numbers, dates, currencies on axes and labels (HIG, MD)
• touch-target-chart - Interactive chart elements (points, segments) must have ≥44pt tap area or expand on touch (Apple HIG)

• contrast-data - Data lines/bars vs background ≥3:1; data text labels ≥4.5:1 (WCAG)
• legend-interactive - Legends should be clickable to toggle series visibility (MD)
• direct-labeling - For small datasets, label values directly on the chart to reduce eye travel
• tooltip-keyboard - Tooltip content must be keyboard-reachable and not rely on hover alone (WCAG)

• axis-readability - Axis ticks must not be cramped; maintain readable spacing, auto-skip on small screens
• data-density - Limit information density per chart to avoid cognitive overload; split into multiple charts if needed
• trend-emphasis - Emphasize data trends over decoration; avoid heavy gradients/shadows that obscure the data
• gridline-subtle - Grid lines should be low-contrast (e.g. gray-200) so they don't compete with data

• drill-down-consistency - Drill-down interactions must maintain a clear back-path and hierarchy breadcrumb
• time-scale-clarity - Time series charts must clearly label time granularity (day/week/month) and allow switching

How to Use

Search specific domains using the CLI tool below.

Prerequisites

The bundled scripts require Python 3 (standard library only — no third-party packages, no network access). Check if it is available:

python3 --version || python --version

If Python is not installed, do not install it yourself. Stop and ask the user to install Python 3 using their preferred method (e.g. from python.org or their OS package manager), then continue once it is available. Never run package-manager or system-modifying commands (sudo, brew, apt, winget, etc.) on the user's machine for this skill.

If the user prefers not to install Python, skip the CLI searches and rely on the Quick Reference sections above.

Note: On Windows, use python instead of python3 to run scripts (e.g., python scripts/search.py instead of python3 scripts/search.py).

How to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user requests any of the following:

Follow this workflow:

Step 1: Analyze User Requirements

Extract key information from user request:

• Product type: Entertainment (social, video, music, gaming), Tool (scanner, editor, converter), Productivity (task manager, notes, calendar), or hybrid
• Target audience: C-end consumer users; consider age group, usage context (commute, leisure, work)
• Style keywords: playful, vibrant, minimal, dark mode, content-first, immersive, etc.
• Stack: React Native (this project's only tech stack)

Step 2: Generate Design System (REQUIRED)

Always start with --design-system to get comprehensive recommendations with reasoning:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<product_type> <industry> <keywords>" --design-system [-p "Project Name"]

This command:

1. Searches domains in parallel (product, style, color, landing, typography)
2. Applies reasoning rules from ui-reasoning.csv to select best matches
3. Returns complete design system: pattern, style, colors, typography, effects
4. Includes anti-patterns to avoid

Example:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"

Step 2b: Persist Design System (Master + Overrides Pattern)

To save the design system for hierarchical retrieval across sessions, add --persist:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name"

This creates:

• design-system/MASTER.md — Global Source of Truth with all design rules
• design-system/pages/ — Folder for page-specific overrides

With page-specific override:

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

This also creates:

• design-system/pages/dashboard.md — Page-specific deviations from Master

How hierarchical retrieval works:

1. When building a specific page (e.g., "Checkout"), first check design-system/pages/checkout.md
2. If the page file exists, its rules override the Master file
3. If not, use design-system/MASTER.md exclusively

Context-aware retrieval prompt:

I am building the [Page Name] page. Please read design-system/MASTER.md.
Also check if design-system/pages/[page-name].md exists.
If the page file exists, prioritize its rules.
If not, use the Master rules exclusively.
Now, generate the code...

Step 2c: Design Dials (optional)

Three optional 1-10 sliders that tune --design-system output without changing your query. Add any combination of them to the same command:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --variance <1-10> --motion <1-10> --density <1-10>

• --motion attaches a ready-to-use GSAP snippet (with framework notes, Do/Don't, and performance notes) pulled from --domain gsap, matched to the resolved tier (Subtle/Standard/Complex).
• --density overrides the --space-* CSS variable table in the ASCII/markdown/MASTER.md output — use it for dashboards (high) vs. marketing pages (low) without hand-editing tokens.
• Leaving a dial unset keeps that part of the output exactly as it was before (no behavior change).

Example:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "internal analytics dashboard" --design-system --variance 8 --motion 7 --density 8 -p "Ops Console"

Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)

After getting the design system, use domain searches to get additional details:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]

When to use detailed searches:

Step 4: Stack Guidelines

Get implementation-specific best practices for the user's stack:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack <stack>

Search Reference

Available Domains

Available Stacks

JavaFX enterprise examples:

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "atlantafx primer enterprise theme" --stack javafx
python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "enterprise tableview density permission" --stack javafx

Example Workflow

User request: "Make an AI search homepage。"

Step 1: Analyze Requirements

• Product type: Tool (AI search engine)
• Target audience: C-end users looking for fast, intelligent search
• Style keywords: modern, minimal, content-first, dark mode
• Stack: React Native

Step 2: Generate Design System (REQUIRED)

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "AI search tool modern minimal" --design-system -p "AI Search"

Output: Complete design system with pattern, style, colors, typography, effects, and anti-patterns.

Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)

# Get style options for a modern tool product
python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "minimalism dark mode" --domain style

# Get UX best practices for search interaction and loading
python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "search loading animation" --domain ux

Step 4: Stack Guidelines

python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "list performance navigation" --stack react-native

Then: Synthesize design system + detailed searches and implement the design.

Output Formats

The --design-system flag supports two output formats:

# ASCII box (default) - best for terminal display
python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system

# Markdown - best for documentation
python3 ~/.codex/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system -f markdown

Tips for Better Results

Query Strategy

• Use multi-dimensional keywords — combine product + industry + tone + density: "entertainment social vibrant content-dense" not just "app"
• Try different keywords for the same need: "playful neon" → "vibrant dark" → "content-first minimal"
• Use --design-system first for full recommendations, then --domain to deep-dive any dimension you're unsure about
• Add --stack <stack> for implementation-specific guidance when the target stack is known

Common Sticking Points

Pre-Delivery Checklist

• Run --domain ux "animation accessibility z-index loading" as a UX validation pass before implementation
• Run through Quick Reference §1–§3 (CRITICAL + HIGH) as a final review
• Test on 375px (small phone) and landscape orientation
• Verify behavior with reduced-motion enabled and Dynamic Type at largest size
• Check dark mode contrast independently (don't assume light mode values work)
• Confirm all touch targets ≥44pt and no content hidden behind safe areas

Common Rules for Professional UI

These are frequently overlooked issues that make UI look unprofessional: Scope notice: The rules below are for App UI (iOS/Android/React Native/Flutter), not desktop-web interaction patterns.

Icons & Visual Elements

• 默认图标库使用 Phosphor (@phosphor-icons/react)。src/ui-ux-pro-max/data/icons.csv 中列出的只是常用推荐图标，不是完整集合。
• 当推荐表中找不到合适的图标时：
  • 优先继续从 Phosphor 的完整图标集中选择任何语义更贴切的图标；
  • 如果 Phosphor 也没有理想选项，可以使用 Heroicons (@heroicons/react) 作为备选，注意保持风格一致（线性/填充、笔画粗细、圆角风格）。
