UI/UX Designer Skill
This skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for designing and implementing high-quality user interfaces in web applications, following modern best practices.
Core Concepts
The skill is built around a flexible design system, a library of reusable components and layouts, and a set of guidelines for creating accessible, performant, and visually appealing user experiences.
Start by exploring the assets/ directory for ready-to-use templates.
Getting Started: Project Setup
- Theme & Styles: Copy the files from
assets/theme/into your project.tailwind.config.js: A pre-configured Tailwind CSS theme.global.css: Includes base styles, CSS variables for theming, and Tailwind directives.
- Utilities: Copy the utility functions from
assets/utils/, likecn.tsfor merging class names. - Dependencies: Install the necessary dependencies mentioned in the asset files (e.g.,
class-variance-authority,tailwindcss-animate).
Building Components & Layouts
- Components: Use the examples in
assets/components/(e.g.,Button.tsx,Input.tsx) as a starting point for your component library. - Layouts: The
assets/layouts/directory contains templates for common page structures like dashboards and marketing pages.
