How to Use

Search specific domains using the CLI tool below.

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: Generate Design System (REQUIRED)

Always start with --design-system to get comprehensive recommendations with reasoning:

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<product_type> <industry> <keywords>" --design-system [-p "Project Name"]

This command:

1. Searches 5 domains in parallel (product, style, color, landing, typography)

2. Applies reasoning rules from ui-reasoning.csv to select best matches

3. Returns complete design system: pattern, style, colors, typography, effects

4. Includes anti-patterns to avoid

Example:

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"

Step 2b: Persist Design System (Master + Overrides Pattern)

To save the design system for hierarchical retrieval across sessions, add --persist:

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name"

This creates:

• -design-system/MASTER.md — Global Source of Truth with all design rules
• -design-system/pages/ — Folder for page-specific overrides

With page-specific override:

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name" --page "dashboard"

This also creates:

• -design-system/pages/dashboard.md — Page-specific deviations from Master

How hierarchical retrieval works:

1. When building a specific page (e.g., "Checkout"), first check design-system/pages/checkout.md

2. If the page file exists, its rules override the Master file

3. If not, use design-system/MASTER.md exclusively

Context-aware retrieval prompt:

I am building the [Page Name] page. Please read design-system/MASTER.md.
Also check if design-system/pages/[page-name].md exists.
If the page file exists, prioritize its rules.
If not, use the Master rules exclusively.
Now, generate the code...

Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)

After getting the design system, use domain searches to get additional details:

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]

When to use detailed searches:

| Need | Domain | Example |

|------|--------|---------|

| More style options | style | --domain style "glassmorphism dark" |

| Chart recommendations | chart | --domain chart "real-time dashboard" |

| UX best practices | ux | --domain ux "animation accessibility" |

| Alternative fonts | typography | --domain typography "elegant luxury" |

| Landing structure | landing | --domain landing "hero social-proof" |

Step 4: Stack Guidelines (Default: html-tailwind)

Get implementation-specific best practices. If user doesn't specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind

Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter, shadcn, jetpack-compose

Example Workflow

User request: "Làm landing page cho dịch vụ chăm sóc da chuyên nghiệp"

Step 1: Analyze Requirements

• -Product type: Beauty/Spa service
• -Style keywords: elegant, professional, soft
• -Industry: Beauty/Wellness
• -Stack: html-tailwind (default)

Step 2: Generate Design System (REQUIRED)

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service elegant" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"

Output: Complete design system with pattern, style, colors, typography, effects, and anti-patterns.

Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)

Get UX guidelines for animation and accessibility
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "animation accessibility" --domain ux

Get alternative typography options if needed
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury serif" --domain typography

Step 4: Stack Guidelines

python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "layout responsive form" --stack html-tailwind

Then: Synthesize design system + detailed searches and implement the design.

---

Output Formats

The --design-system flag supports two output formats:

ASCII box (default) - best for terminal display
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system

Markdown - best for documentation
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system -f markdown

---

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

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 |
