Search UX

search-ux

Catalogue stub — full skill: Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Decision tree

1. Is the full skill already installed?

   • Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/search-ux/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/search-ux/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • No das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
   • das: block present → go to step 2

2. Detect scope, then install:

   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/search-ux ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   

   Global:

   npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill search-ux -g -y
   

   Project:

   npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill search-ux -y
   

   Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

What it does

Owls end-to-end search-UX skill: search input and autocomplete, results layout and ranking, faceted filtering, the often-neglected zero-results state (treated as a retention moment), and search analytics (zero-result queries, click position, abandonment). Web research found NO dedicated public search-UX agent skill — this fills a real catalogue gap.

When NOT to use

• Backend search indexing/relevance tuning → an engineering concern, not this skill
• General navigation IA → use information-architecture-and-navigation
