ux-ui-agent-skills skills

Apply a visual direction — an archetype (high-end agency, editorial minimal, brutalist, soft-SaaS, dark-tech) or one of 138 named design systems (apple, linear-app, stripe, vercel, notion, material, shadcn, spotify, tesla…) — by resolving it into the token system. Use when the user wants a specific look/vibe/brand feel, or asks to make a design feel premium/expensive/non-generic.

Generate, extend, or audit design tokens in DTCG format with the 3-tier architecture (primitive → semantic → component). Use when the user wants a color palette, type scale, spacing/shadow/radius/motion tokens, multi-brand theming, or wants to validate token files. Covers colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders, breakpoints, motion, gradients, opacity, blur, sizing, states, theming.

Upgrade an existing website or app to premium quality without breaking functionality — audit the current design, identify generic/AI tells, then apply taste and system rules surgically. Use when the user wants to improve, modernize, polish, or "make better" an existing UI/codebase.

The house rules for ANY design or UI work - the verification protocol (run the gate, never claim a number), the absolute no-emoji rule, token by intent, one shared theme, the eight states, one thing leads, and output completeness. Load this FIRST whenever building, reviewing, or theming a screen, component, or token set. Installed as a plugin, this skill carries what CLAUDE.md carries in the repo.

Move an idea up the fidelity ladder (content-first → wireframe → low-fi → high-fi → code) with a validation plan at each level, plus user-journey mapping and usability-testing scripts. Use when the user wants to prototype, wireframe, map a user flow, or plan/run usability testing.

Write or review UI copy — buttons, errors, empty states, microcopy, notifications, labels — using the voice & tone system (clear, concise, useful, human, honest) with the what→why→how error formula and inclusive-language rules. Use when the user needs interface copy, error messages, empty-state text, or a copy review.

Set up or run design QA gates — token + hardcoded-value lint, automated a11y (axe), contrast, visual regression across variants/states/themes/RTL, and the manual a11y checklist. Use when the user wants CI quality gates, to prevent design regressions, or to QA a component/screen before shipping.

Design a UI component spec to the house quality bar — anatomy, variants, sizes, the 8 states, token mapping, and accessibility. Use when the user wants to design or document a component (button, input, tabs, toast, combobox, date picker, modal, etc.) at the spec level before or alongside code. For generating framework code, use design-code.

Interrogate the brief before a line is built — ask only the questions whose answers change the work, and put every unasked decision on the record as a stated assumption.

Scaffold a new design-product project that matches the recommended Claude Code layout (the reference structure). Use when starting a fresh product/app that will be built with this design system.

Generate production-ready, accessible, token-driven component code for ANY framework — React+Tailwind, Next.js, SwiftUI, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, Web Components/Lit, React Native, Flutter, Jetpack Compose, vanilla CSS, or CSS-in-JS. Use when the user wants working UI code for a component or screen in a specific stack.

Set up or run the token build pipeline — transform the DTCG tokens/*.json (source of truth) into platform artifacts (CSS variables, Tailwind @theme, JS/TS, iOS Asset Catalog, Android, Compose) with Style Dictionary / Tokens Studio / W3C DTCG export. Use when the user wants to generate platform theme files from tokens, wire token CI, or multi-platform token output.

Design or build a page, screen, landing page, website, app or UI from a request - the whole job, end to end. Use this for "design a landing page", "build a settings screen", "make me a website", "design the onboarding", "ออกแบบหน้าเว็บ", "ทำหน้า landing", "ออกแบบ UI", "ทำแอป". It runs the pipeline no single skill covers: the house doctrine, a written Brief Inference so the result is not the statistical mean, a committed visual direction, tokens, build, the objective gates, then an adversarial critic. Hands off to data-dashboard for dense data screens, redesign for existing UI, and image-to-code when a reference image is given.

Generate a complete, accessible brand design system from a brief — primitive → semantic → component DTCG tokens (color, type, spacing, radius, shadow, motion), light + dark, plus a single theme.css — verified for WCAG. Use when the user wants a from-scratch brand/design foundation, a new palette + type system, or a themeable token kit for a product.

Map this token system to or from any external design system (Material Design 3, Apple HIG, Fluent, Carbon, Ant, shadcn/ui, Radix, Chakra, Mantine, Bootstrap…) — adopt their look, build on their stack, or migrate between systems. Use when the user mentions interop, migration, or a specific design-system/component-library bridge.

Turn a reference image, screenshot, or mockup into token-driven, accessible code — infer the design system from the reference (palette, type scale, spacing, radius, layout archetype), map it to the 3-tier tokens, rebuild it, then verify with the kit's gates. Use when the user provides a design/screenshot and wants matching UI code.

Pre-release gate — run the full gate, responsive + render checks, then produce the release checklist (README badge/current/changelog). Use before tagging a release.

Review or audit a design/UI across 6 weighted dimensions with Nielsen's 10 heuristics and a prioritized findings table. Use when the user wants a design critique, quality score, heuristic evaluation, or audit of an existing screen, page, or product before/after build.

Audit a UI or design against WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA and ARIA patterns, returning criterion-referenced findings with severity and specific fixes. Use when the user wants an accessibility check, contrast verification, keyboard/screen-reader review, or wants to confirm a component meets POUR.

Govern how the design system evolves — SemVer for tokens/components, the contribution workflow, deprecation policy, and change communication. Use when the user wants to add/promote/deprecate a component or token, decide a version bump, set up a contribution process, or keep the system from fragmenting.

Build a dense, data-heavy screen - an analytics console or a trading terminal - with real charts drawn from tokens: candlestick, volume, depth, stacked area, waterfall, scatter, correlation matrix, donut, gauge, sparklines, heatmaps and order books. Use when the request is a dashboard, terminal, monitoring view, data console, or any screen whose job is to show many numbers at once. Covers the layout sequence, the SVG geometry, the accessibility contract per chart type, and the contrast traps that only appear in dark mode.

Adversarial design critique of the current work — render it, look at it, and argue for rejection. Run after the gates are green, never instead of them.

Run the one-command quality gate and report the real N/N result. Use before claiming any build/review is done.

Keep Figma and code in sync — map the 3-tier DTCG tokens to Figma Variables (collections + modes), sync in either direction, use the Figma MCP when connected, and verify component parity (variants/states). Use when the user wants to push tokens/components to Figma, pull a design into code, set up token↔Variable sync, or check design-code drift.
