UI/UX Pro Max - Design Intelligence

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.

How to Use This Skill

Run the commands from the skill directory ($CODEX_HOME/​skills/​ui-ux-pro-max) so scripts/​search.py resolves, or provide an absolute path to the script. If python is not available, use python3.

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.

python scripts/​search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]

Recommended search order:

1. Product - Get style recommendations for product type
2. Style - Get detailed style guide (colors, effects, frameworks)
3. Typography - Get font pairings with Google Fonts imports
4. Color - Get color palette (Primary, Secondary, CTA, Background, Text, Border)
5. Landing - Get page structure (if landing page)
6. Chart - Get chart recommendations (if dashboard/​analytics)
7. UX - Get best practices and anti-patterns
8. Stack - Get stack-specific guidelines (default: html-tailwind)

Step 3: Stack Guidelines (Default: infer-from-project)

If user doesn't specify a stack, infer it from the project or default to html-tailwind.

python 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
python scripts/​search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --domain product

# 2. Search style (based on industry: beauty, elegant)
python scripts/​search.py "elegant minimal soft" --domain style

# 3. Search typography
python scripts/​search.py "elegant luxury" --domain typography

# 4. Search color palette
python scripts/​search.py "beauty spa wellness" --domain color

# 5. Search landing page structure
python scripts/​search.py "hero-centric social-proof" --domain landing

# 6. Search UX guidelines
python scripts/​search.py "animation" --domain ux
python scripts/​search.py "accessibility" --domain ux

# 7. Search stack guidelines (default: html-tailwind)
python scripts/​search.py "layout responsive" --stack html-tailwind

Then: Synthesize all search results and implement the design.

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

• 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
