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 .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-tailwindAvailable 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 .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-tailwindThen: 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
- Split Into Multiple Files - For better maintainability:
- Separate components into individual files (e.g.,
Header.tsx,Footer.tsx) - Extract reusable styles into dedicated files
- Keep each file focused and under 200-300 lines

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 |

Visual Quality
- [ ] No emojis used as icons (use SVG instead)
- [ ] All icons from consistent icon set (Heroicons/Lucide)
