[IMPORTANT] Use TaskCreate to break ALL work into small tasks BEFORE starting — including tasks for each file read. This prevents context loss from long files. For simple tasks, AI MUST ask user whether to skip.

Quick Summary

Goal: Provide searchable UI/UX design intelligence -- 50 styles, 21 palettes, 50 font pairings, 20 charts, 8 stacks.

Workflow:

• Analyze — Extract product type, style keywords, industry, and stack from user request

• Search — Query search.py across domains: product, style, typography, color, landing, chart, UX

• Stack Guidelines — Get stack-specific best practices (default: html-tailwind)

• Implement — Synthesize search results into cohesive design and code

Key Rules:

• No emojis as UI icons (use SVG: Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons)

• All clickable elements need cursor-pointer and hover feedback

• Light mode text must have 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio

• Test both light/dark modes and responsive breakpoints before delivery

Be skeptical. Apply critical thinking, sequential thinking. Every claim needs traced proof, confidence percentages (Idea should be more than 80%).

UI/UX Pro Max - Design Intelligence

Searchable database of UI styles, color palettes, font pairings, chart types, product recommendations, UX guidelines, and stack-specific best practices.

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: Search Relevant Domains

Use search.py multiple times to gather comprehensive information. Search until you have enough context.

python3 .claude/skills/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 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind

Available stacks: html-tailwind , react , nextjs , vue , svelte , swiftui , react-native , flutter

Example Workflow

User request: "Làm landing page cho dịch vụ chăm sóc da chuyên nghiệp"

AI should:

1. Search product type

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --domain product

2. Search style (based on industry: beauty, elegant)

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant minimal soft" --domain style

3. Search typography

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury" --domain typography

4. Search color palette

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness" --domain color

5. Search landing page structure

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "hero-centric social-proof" --domain landing

6. Search UX guidelines

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "animation" --domain ux python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "accessibility" --domain ux

7. Search stack guidelines (default: html-tailwind)

python3 .claude/skills/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

Pre-Delivery Checklist

Before delivering UI code, verify these items:

Visual Quality

• All icons from consistent icon set (Heroicons/Lucide)

• Brand logos are correct (verified from Simple Icons)

• Hover states don't cause layout shift

Interaction

• All clickable elements have cursor-pointer

• Hover states provide clear visual feedback

• Transitions are smooth (150-300ms)

• Focus states visible for keyboard navigation

Light/Dark Mode

• Light mode text has sufficient contrast (4.5:1 minimum)

• Glass/transparent elements visible in light mode

• Borders visible in both modes

• Test both modes before delivery

Layout

• Floating elements have proper spacing from edges

• No content hidden behind fixed navbars

• Responsive at 320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px

• No horizontal scroll on mobile

Accessibility

• All images have alt text

IMPORTANT Task Planning Notes (MUST FOLLOW)

• Always plan and break work into many small todo tasks

• Always add a final review todo task to verify work quality and identify fixes/enhancements
