Project Background

Project Introduction

ui-pro-website

UI/UX Pro Max Skill is an open-source skill that provides design intelligence for AI programming assistants. Through its built-in design system generation engine and intelligent recommendation system, it enables AI assistants to generate professional, beautiful UI/UX code that follows design standards. It's not just a code generation tool — it's a complete design intelligence system.

Core problems the project solves:

  • AI-generated UI code lacks design standards, with inconsistent styles
  • Lack of understanding of color theory, typography, spacing, and other design principles
  • Unable to recommend appropriate design styles based on product type
  • Missing design system concepts, making code hard to maintain
  • Design knowledge needs to be repeatedly configured for different AI assistant platforms

Target user groups:

  • Developers using AI programming assistants
  • Frontend developers who need to quickly generate professional UIs
  • Developers without design backgrounds who need to build beautiful interfaces
  • Teams looking to improve the quality of AI-generated code
  • Projects that need a unified design system

Design System Generation Engine

The core is the Python script search.py, which implements automatic design system generation. The process includes: 1) Analyze product type and requirements; 2) Retrieve design knowledge from the knowledge base (colors, fonts, styles, components, domain-specific knowledge); 3) Apply reasoning engine to generate design system; 4) Validate and optimize the design system.

Intelligent Recommendation System

The recommendation system performs intelligent matching based on product type and domain knowledge. Recommendation dimensions include: color scheme (based on product type, target users, brand tone, accessibility), font scheme (based on readability and brand), spacing system (based on platform and content), component style (based on interaction requirements). Returns Top 3 recommended solutions through similarity calculation.

Layered Design System (Master + Overrides)

Supports a layered design system where the Master system contains global colors, fonts, spacing, and component specs, while page overrides only contain rules that differ from the Master. Retrieval logic: if a specific page is specified, first check the page override file; if it exists, merge Master and page rules; otherwise use only the Master rules.

Knowledge Base System

The core of UI/UX Pro Max Skill is the design knowledge base, containing professional design knowledge across 10+ domains:

Domain-specific Knowledge

Each domain has a dedicated design knowledge base containing:

  • Industry best practices: UI/UX best practices for that domain
  • User behavior patterns: Usage habits of the target audience
  • Design trends: Currently popular design styles
  • Accessibility requirements: Industry-specific accessibility standards
  • Compliance requirements: Legal and regulatory requirements (e.g., finance, healthcare)

Multi-Platform Adaptation System

UI/UX Pro Max Skill supports multiple AI assistant platforms through a template system:

Platform Adaptation Architecture

Platform adaptation is implemented through a PlatformAdapter interface, with each AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) having its own adapter. Claude Code supports auto-activation; Cursor uses slash commands. The CLI tool uses a template system to dynamically generate platform-specific files — loading templates from the templates/ directory to generate skill files, configuration files, and scripts.

Design Standards Checking System

UI/UX Pro Max Skill has built-in design standards checking that automatically detects common anti-patterns:

Anti-pattern Detection

The design standards checking system automatically detects common anti-patterns: insufficient color contrast (WCAG AA standard), font sizes too small, inconsistent spacing, improper component usage, and accessibility issues. The detector parses design elements from the code, compares them against design system standards, and returns a list of issues and improvement suggestions.
