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 .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

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-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

• 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

Pre-Delivery Checklist

Before delivering UI code, verify these items:

Visual Quality

• No emojis used as icons (use SVG instead)

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