ui-ux-pro-max
Comprehensive design guide for web and mobile applications. Contains 67 styles, 96 color palettes, 57 font pairings, 99 UX guidelines, and 25 chart types across 13 technology stacks. Searchable database with priority-based recommendations.
Prerequisites
Check if Python is installed:
python3 --version || python --version
If Python is not installed, install it based on user's OS:
macOS:
brew install python3
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3
Windows:
winget install Python.Python.3.12
How to Use This Skill
When user requests UI/UX work (design, build, create, implement, review, fix, improve), follow this workflow:
Step 1: Analyze User Requirements
Extract key information from user request:
- Product type: SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, dashboard, landing page, etc.
- Style keywords: minimal, playful, professional, elegant, dark mode, etc.
- Industry: healthcare, fintech, gaming, education, etc.
- Stack: React, Vue, Next.js, or default to
html-tailwind
Step 2: Generate Design System (REQUIRED)
Always start with --design-system to get comprehensive recommendations with reasoning:
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<product_type> <industry> <keywords>" --design-system [-p "Project Name"]
This command:
- Searches 5 domains in parallel (product, style, color, landing, typography)
- Applies reasoning rules from
ui-reasoning.csv to select best matches
- Returns complete design system: pattern, style, colors, typography, effects
- Includes anti-patterns to avoid
Example:
python3 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 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 rulesdesign-system/pages/ — Folder for page-specific overrides
With page-specific override:
python3 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:
- When building a specific page (e.g., "Checkout"), first check
design-system/pages/checkout.md
- If the page file exists, its rules override the Master file
- If not, use
design-system/MASTER.md exclusively
Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)
After getting the design system, use domain searches to get additional details:
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]
When to use detailed searches:
| Need |
Domain |
Example |
| More style options |
style |
--domain style "glassmorphism dark" |
| Chart recommendations |
chart |
--domain chart "real-time dashboard" |
| UX best practices |
ux |
--domain ux "animation accessibility" |
| Alternative fonts |
typography |
--domain typography "elegant luxury" |
| Landing structure |
landing |
--domain landing "hero social-proof" |
Step 4: Stack Guidelines (Default: html-tailwind)
Get implementation-specific best practices. If user doesn't specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind
Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter, shadcn, jetpack-compose

Example Workflow
User request: "Làm landing page cho dịch vụ chăm sóc da chuyên nghiệp"
Step 1: Analyze Requirements
- Product type: Beauty/Spa service
- Style keywords: elegant, professional, soft
- Industry: Beauty/Wellness
- Stack: html-tailwind (default)
Step 2: Generate Design System (REQUIRED)
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service elegant" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"
Output: Complete design system with pattern, style, colors, typography, effects, and anti-patterns.
Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)
# Get UX guidelines for animation and accessibility
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "animation accessibility" --domain ux
# Get alternative typography options if needed
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury serif" --domain typography
Step 4: Stack Guidelines
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "layout responsive form" --stack html-tailwind
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 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system
# Markdown - best for documentation
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system -f markdown
Tips for Better Results
- Be specific with keywords - "healthcare SaaS dashboard" > "app"
- Search multiple times - Different keywords reveal different insights
- Combine domains - Style + Typography + Color = Complete design system
- Always check UX - Search "animation", "z-index", "accessibility" for common issues
- Use stack flag - Get implementation-specific best practices
- Iterate - If first search doesn't match, try different keywords
Common Rules for Professional UI
These are frequently overlooked issues that make UI look unprofessional:
Icons & Visual Elements
| Rule |
Do |
Don't |
| No emoji icons |
Use SVG icons (Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons) |
Use emojis like 🎨 🚀 ⚙️ as UI icons |
| Stable hover states |
Use color/opacity transitions on hover |
Use scale transforms that shift layout |
| Correct brand logos |
Research official SVG from Simple Icons |
Guess or use incorrect logo paths |
| Consistent icon sizing |
Use fixed viewBox (24x24) with w-6 h-6 |
Mix different icon sizes randomly |
Interaction & Cursor
| Rule |
Do |
Don't |
| Cursor pointer |
Add cursor-pointer to all clickable/hoverable cards |
Leave default cursor on interactive elements |
| Hover feedback |
Provide visual feedback (color, shadow, border) |
No indication element is interactive |
| Smooth transitions |
Use transition-colors duration-200 |
Instant state changes or too slow (>500ms) |
Light/Dark Mode Contrast
| Rule |
Do |
Don't |
| Glass card light mode |
Use bg-white/80 or higher opacity |
Use bg-white/10 (too transparent) |
| Text contrast light |
Use #0F172A (slate-900) for text |
Use #94A3B8 (slate-400) for body text |
| Muted text light |
Use #475569 (slate-600) minimum |
Use gray-400 or lighter |
| Border visibility |
Use border-gray-200 in light mode |
Use border-white/10 (invisible) |
Layout & Spacing
| Rule |
Do |
Don't |
| Floating navbar |
Add top-4 left-4 right-4 spacing |
Stick navbar to top-0 left-0 right-0 |
| Content padding |
Account for fixed navbar height |
Let content hide behind fixed elements |
| Consistent max-width |
Use same max-w-6xl or max-w-7xl |
Mix different container widths |
Pre-Delivery Checklist
Before delivering UI code, verify these items:
Visual Quality
