All workflows: Activate ck:ui-ux-pro-max skill FIRST for design intelligence.
Screenshot/Video Replication (Quick Reference)
- Analyze with
ck:ai-multimodal skill - extract colors, fonts, spacing, effects
- Plan with
ui_ux_designer subagent - create phased implementation
- Implement - match source precisely
- Verify - compare to original
- Document - update
./docs/design-guidelines.md if approved
See specific workflow files for detailed steps.
Design Thinking (From Scratch)
Before coding, commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
- Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
- Tone: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.
- Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
- Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
CRITICAL: Execute with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - intentionality is key.
Aesthetics Guidelines
- Typography: Avoid Arial/Inter; use distinctive, characterful fonts. Pair display + body fonts.
- Color: Commit to cohesive palette. CSS variables. Dominant colors with sharp accents.
- Motion: CSS-first, anime.js for complex (
./references/animejs.md). Orchestrated page loads > scattered micro-interactions.
- Spatial: Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Negative space OR controlled density.
- Backgrounds: Atmosphere over solid colors. Gradients, noise, patterns, shadows, grain.
- Assets: Generate with
ck:ai-multimodal, process with ck:media-processing

Anti-Patterns (AI Slop)
NEVER use:
- Overused fonts: Inter, Roboto, Arial, Space Grotesk
- Cliched colors: purple gradients on white
- Predictable layouts, cookie-cutter patterns
DO:
- Vary themes (light/dark), fonts, aesthetics per project
- Match complexity to vision (maximalist = elaborate; minimalist = precise)
- Make unexpected, context-specific choices
