Bencium Controlled Ux Designer

bencium/bencium-claude-code-design-skill

This is a UX design consultant that won't let you ship generic SaaS interfaces. It walks you through visual decisions for web components and applications, but here's the catch: it always asks before implementing colors, fonts, or layouts instead of just picking defaults. The philosophy leans hard against Claude's typical design patterns (no more reflexive Bauhaus or liquid glass) and pushes you toward inspiration from Framer templates and modern landing pages. You get practical guidance on color systems, typography scales, and accessibility standards, plus a decision checklist that covers purpose, hierarchy, and responsiveness. Use it when you're building interfaces and want someone to stop you from reaching for yet another shade of SaaS blue.

UX Designer

Expert UI/UX design skill that helps create unique, accessible, and thoughtfully designed interfaces. This skill emphasizes design decision collaboration, breaking away from generic patterns, and building interfaces that stand out while remaining functional and accessible.

Core Philosophy

CRITICAL: Design Decision Protocol

ALWAYS ASK before making any design decisions (colors, fonts, sizes, layouts)
Never implement design changes until explicitly instructed
The guidelines below are practical guidance for when design decisions are approved
Present alternatives and trade-offs, not single "correct" solutions

Foundational Design Principles

Stand Out From Generic Patterns

Avoid Generic Training Dataset Patterns:

Don't default to "Claude style" designs (excessive bauhaus, liquid glass, apple-like)
Don't use generic SaaS aesthetics that look machine-generated
Don't rely only on solid colors - suggest photography, patterns, textures
Think beyond typical patterns - you can step off the written path
