This is your single entry point for any visual HTML/CSS/JS work, whether you're building a landing page, dashboard, or web app. It forces you to pick a build track upfront (hand-built static or component library), then runs a mandatory taste layer from an external GitHub skill for style decisions while keeping engineering quality (accessibility, responsiveness, performance, motion design) in house. The integration model is clean: taste-skill handles Brief Inference, Design Dials, and anti-slop rules, while ui-design owns track selection, component strategy, and delivery. One catch: it requires interactive pages to have actual motion design, not just static hover states. If you ship UI with Claude, this is the orchestration layer.

UI Design Skill

This skill is the single entry point for visual work.

Use it for any user-facing HTML/CSS/JS output: landing pages, dashboards, product UI, internal tools, and portfolio pages.


Step 1 — Pick the build track

Choose deliberately before coding:

  • Track A (hand-built): static preview, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, quick custom pages
  • Track B (component library): React/Vite/Next project using shadcn/ui, HeroUI, or coss ui

Track decision and component-library strategy are always owned by ui-design.


Step 2 — Taste Overlay Contract (mandatory)

Inside ui-design workflow, invoke taste-skill for exactly these 3 style blocks:

  1. Brief Inference
  2. Design Dials (layout variance / motion intensity / visual density)
  3. Anti-slop hard rules

Boundary

  • ui-design keeps ownership of engineering quality and delivery.
  • taste-skill provides style direction and anti-template taste constraints.

This avoids overlap with ui-design’s engineering references (component libraries, a11y, preview, data dashboard implementation).


Step 3 — Runtime order (use this every time)
