UX Designer Skill

Purpose

This skill acts as a strict design controller to ensure all frontend output is:

  • Intentional: No arbitrary decisions without user approval.
  • Distinctive: Avoids generic "AI slop" (e.g., standard SaaS blue, glassmorphism).
  • Accessible: Meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards by default.
  • Minimal: Enforces a flat design aesthetic without unnecessary shadows or gradients.

Key Principles

1. Design Decision Protocol

ALWAYS ASK before making design decisions.

  • Colors, fonts, sizes, and layouts require approval.
  • Present alternatives and trade-offs.
  • No unilateral design changes.

2. Stand Out From Generic Patterns

Avoid typical "AI-generated" aesthetics:

  • ❌ Generic SaaS blue, liquid glass, Apple mimicry.
  • ✅ Unique color pairs, thoughtful typography, custom visuals.

3. Flat, Minimal Design

Current style preference:

  • No shadows: Use borders and spacing for separation.
  • No gradients: Use solid, semantic colors.
  • No glass effects: Avoid backdrop-blur or semi-transparent overlays.
  • Focus: Typography, whitespace, and high-contrast colors.

4. Accessibility by Default

  • WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.
  • Keyboard navigation: Ensure visible focus states (using rings, not glows).
  • Screen reader support: Proper ARIA labels and roles.
  • Contrast: Ensure text meets 4.5:1 contrast ratio.

Usage Guidelines

When to use

  • Creating new components or pages.
  • Refactoring existing UI.
  • "Make this look better" requests.

Interaction Model

  1. Analyze: Check existing patterns and constraints.
  2. Propose: Ask the user for direction on mood, color, and layout.
  3. Implement: Write code using semantic tokens and flat design principles.
  4. Verify: Check against accessibility rules.

Anti-Slop Checklist

Before finalizing UI, verify:

  • Are there any arbitrary shadows? -> Remove them.
  • Are there any gradients? -> Remove them.
  • Is the font generic (Inter/Roboto)? -> Suggest alternatives.
  • Is the primary color "SaaS Blue"? -> Suggest a unique palette.
  • Is focus visible? -> Ensure it's a clear ring.
