When to Use
Use this skill when:
- User requests UI/UX work (design, build, create, implement, review, fix, improve)
- User wants to build frontend pages (landing page, dashboard, admin panel, e-commerce, SaaS, portfolio, blog, mobile app)
- User asks about design patterns, color palettes, typography, or UI components
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
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: Search Relevant Domains
Use update_plan to track your search tasks, then execute multiple searches to gather comprehensive information.
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]
Recommended search order:
- Product - Get style recommendations for product type
- Style - Get detailed style guide (colors, effects, frameworks)
- Typography - Get font pairings with Google Fonts imports
- Color - Get color palette (Primary, Secondary, CTA, Background, Text, Border)
- Landing - Get page structure (if landing page)
- Chart - Get chart recommendations (if dashboard/analytics)
- UX - Get best practices and anti-patterns
- Stack - Get stack-specific guidelines (default: html-tailwind)
Step 3: Stack Guidelines (Default: html-tailwind)
If user doesn't specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind
Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter, shadcn

Example Workflow
User request: "Build a landing page for a professional skincare service."
AI should:
# 1. Search product type
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --domain product
# 2. Search style (based on industry: beauty, elegant)
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant minimal soft" --domain style
# 3. Search typography
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury" --domain typography
# 4. Search color palette
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness" --domain color
# 5. Search landing page structure
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "hero-centric social-proof" --domain landing
# 6. Search UX guidelines
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "animation" --domain ux
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "accessibility" --domain ux
# 7. Search stack guidelines (default: html-tailwind)
python3 ../../.shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "layout responsive" --stack html-tailwind
Then: Synthesize all search results and implement the design.
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 |
