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

Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)

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

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

When to use detailed searches:
