phuc-nt Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces. Implement real working code with exceptional aesthetic attention.
Workflow Selection
Choose workflow based on input type:
| Input | Workflow | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Screenshot | Replicate exactly | ./references/workflow-screenshot.md |
| Video | Replicate with animations | ./references/workflow-video.md |
| Screenshot/Video (describe only) | Document for devs | ./references/workflow-describe.md |
| 3D/WebGL request | Three.js immersive | ./references/workflow-3d.md |
| Quick task | Rapid implementation | ./references/workflow-quick.md |
| Complex/award-quality | Full immersive | ./references/workflow-immersive.md |
| Existing project upgrade | Redesign Audit | ./references/redesign-audit-checklist.md |
| From scratch | Design Thinking below | - |
All workflows: Activate ck:ui-ux-pro-max skill FIRST for design intelligence.
Precedence: When anti-slop rules (below) conflict with ck:ui-ux-pro-max recommendations (e.g., Inter font, AI Purple palette, Lucide-only icons), substitute with alternatives from ./references/anti-slop-rules.md unless the user explicitly requested the conflicting choice.
Screenshot/Video Replication (Quick Reference)
- Analyze with
ck:ai-multimodalskill - extract colors, fonts, spacing, effects - Plan with
ui-ux-designersubagent - create phased implementation - Implement - match source precisely
- Verify - compare to original
- Document - update

Design Dials
Three configurable parameters that drive design decisions. Set defaults at session start or let user override via chat:
| Dial | Default | Range | Low (1-3) | High (8-10) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
DESIGN_VARIANCE |
8 | 1-10 | Perfect symmetry, centered layouts, equal grids | Asymmetric, masonry, massive empty zones, fractional CSS Grid |
MOTION_INTENSITY |
6 | 1-10 | CSS hover/active states only | Framer Motion scroll reveals, spring physics, perpetual micro-animations |
VISUAL_DENSITY |
4 | 1-10 | Art gallery — huge whitespace, expensive/clean | Cockpit — tiny paddings, 1px dividers, monospace numbers everywhere |
Usage: These values drive specific rules. At DESIGN_VARIANCE > 4, centered heroes are overused — force split-screen or left-aligned layouts. At MOTION_INTENSITY > 5, embed perpetual micro-animations. At VISUAL_DENSITY > 7, remove generic cards and use spacing/dividers.
See ./references/bento-motion-engine.md for dial-driven SaaS dashboard implementation.
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 withck:media-processing

Anti-Patterns (AI Slop)
Strongly prefer alternatives to these LLM defaults. Full rules: ./references/anti-slop-rules.md
Typography — Avoid Inter/Roboto/Arial. Prefer: Geist, Outfit, Cabinet Grotesk, Satoshi
Color — Avoid AI purple/blue gradient aesthetic, pure #000000, oversaturated accents. Use neutral bases with a single considered accent.
Layout — Avoid 3-column equal card feature rows, centered heroes at high variance, h-screen. Use asymmetric grids, split-screen, min-h-[100dvh].
Content — Avoid "John Doe", "Acme Corp", round numbers, AI copy clichés ("Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash"). Use realistic names, organic data, plain specific language.
Effects — Avoid neon/outer glows, custom cursors, gradient text on headers. Use tinted inner shadows, spring physics.
Components — Avoid default unstyled shadcn, Lucide-only icons, generic card-border-shadow pattern at high density. Always customize, try Phosphor/Heroicons, use spacing over cards.
Quick check: See the "AI Tells" checklist in ./references/anti-slop-rules.md before delivering any design.
Performance: Animation and blur rules in ./references/performance-guardrails.md
