UI/UX Pro Max Skill

by nextlevelbuilder · nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill

Stop letting Claude generate ugly UIs. This skill teaches it real design — type scales, spacing rhythm, color systems, accessibility — across web, mobile, and desktop.

UI/UX Pro Max is a comprehensive design-knowledge skill that injects design intelligence into any agent that loads it. Covers typography, color theory, spacing/grid, motion, accessibility (WCAG 2.2), and platform-specific patterns (Apple HIG, Material 3, fluent). Best paired with shadcn/Tailwind ecosystems but not coupled to them.

Cursor uses the same mcpServers schema as Claude Desktop. Project config wins over global.

Click the MCP Servers icon in the Cline sidebar, then "Edit Configuration".

Same shape as Claude Desktop. Restart Windsurf to pick up changes.

Continue uses an array of server objects rather than a map.

      "command": {
        "path": "git",

          "~/.claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to context_servers. Zed hot-reloads on save.

claude mcp add ui-ux-pro-max-skill -- git clone https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill ~/.claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max

One-liner. Verify with claude mcp list. Remove with claude mcp remove.

Use Cases

Real-world ways to use UI/UX Pro Max Skill

Fix the 'AI-generated UI' look in an existing app

👤 Devs whose Claude-built UI looks generic ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

When to use: Your shadcn output works but looks off-the-shelf.

Flow
  1. Diagnose
    Use UI/UX Pro Max. Audit the design system in /src/ui — type, spacing, color tokens. Score each.✓ Copied
    → Per-axis scorecard with concrete issues
  2. Set tokens
    Recommend a 4-step type scale + 4-step spacing scale aligned to 4px grid.✓ Copied
    → Token table
  3. Apply
    Update tokens.css and rerun. Diff what changed in the rendered look.✓ Copied
    → Tighter typography, consistent rhythm

Outcome: UI that doesn't scream 'I was made in 5 minutes'.

Pitfalls
  • Over-tokenizing — every value becomes a variable — Variables for repeated tokens; literals are fine for one-offs

Design a mobile screen that follows iOS HIG

👤 Devs building cross-platform apps ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

When to use: You have an iOS surface and want it to feel native, not cross-platform-soup.

Flow
  1. Spec
    Design a settings screen for iOS — group cells, navigation, light/dark, accessibility callouts. Reference HIG.✓ Copied
    → Spec with HIG references
  2. Implement
    Translate to SwiftUI. Use system fonts, semantic colors, dynamic type.✓ Copied
    → SwiftUI code that looks system-native

Outcome: Screen passes the 'looks native' eyeball test.

Pitfalls
  • Hardcoded colors break dark mode — Use system semantic colors; the skill enforces this

Run an accessibility audit on a component

👤 Devs prepping for a11y compliance ⏱ ~30 min intermediate

When to use: You need WCAG 2.2 AA on a critical flow.

Flow
  1. Audit
    Audit /components/Form.tsx against WCAG 2.2 AA. Find issues with contrast, labels, focus order.✓ Copied
    → Issue list with severity
  2. Fix
    Apply fixes. Verify with screen-reader semantic outline.✓ Copied
    → Issue list shrinks; semantic outline reads cleanly

Outcome: Component that passes auditor + actual user testing.

Pitfalls
  • Auto-fixes break visual layout — Re-render after each fix; visual regression check
Combine with: filesystem

Combinations

Pair with other MCPs for X10 leverage

ui-ux-pro-max-skill + open-design-skill

Design system + brand-grade reference systems

Use UI/UX Pro Max for fundamentals + open-design for brand styles.✓ Copied
ui-ux-pro-max-skill + filesystem

Apply token changes across the codebase

Update tokens.css and propagate; run audit.✓ Copied

tokens_recommend constraints (brand, platform) Setting up a design system tokens
a11y_check component path Compliance pass tokens

Cost & Limits

What this costs to run

API quota
N/A
Tokens per call
Heavy on first audit; lighter for follow-ups
Monetary
Free
Tip
Audit per-component, not whole app at once

Security

Permissions, secrets, blast radius

Minimum scopes: Read project files
Credential storage: None
Data egress: None

Troubleshooting

Common errors and fixes

Recommendations clash with brand guidelines

Provide brand constraints upfront; skill respects them

Skill triggers too aggressively

Scope by directory or invoke explicitly
