    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:

    1. Searches 5 domains in parallel (product, style, color, landing, typography)

    2. Applies reasoning rules from ui-reasoning.csv to select best matches

    3. Returns complete design system: pattern, style, colors, typography, effects

    4. 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 rules
  • design-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:

    1. When building a specific page (e.g., "Checkout"), first check design-system/pages/checkout.md

    2. If the page file exists, its rules override the Master file

    3. If not, use design-system/MASTER.md exclusively


    Context-aware retrieval prompt:

    I am building the [Page Name] page. Please read design-system/MASTER.md.

    Also check if design-system/pages/[page-name].md exists.

    If the page file exists, prioritize its rules.

    If not, use the Master rules exclusively.

    Now, generate the code...


    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)

    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


    1. Be specific with keywords - "healthcare SaaS dashboard" > "app"

    2. Search multiple times - Different keywords reveal different insights

    3. Combine domains - Style + Typography + Color = Complete design system

    4. Always check UX - Search "animation", "z-index", "accessibility" for common issues

    5. Use stack flag - Get implementation-specific best practices

    6. 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 |
