Design & UX

Creates executive-facing visual artifacts using Canva (presentations) and Figma (design annotations). Transforms Strategy findings into polished visual deliverables for leadership review.

Set up design / IA / UX / a11y / visual-quality discipline for a project. Authors a tailored kit of design audit agents, IA skills, and design-token rules — derived from the project's actual UI surfaces, the user's named design benchmarks, and past design failure modes. Invoke /dotclaude:design in any project root that has a human-facing surface.

Use when the user asks for a Windows app, Win11 UI, XAML, Fluent design, WinUI, WPF, PowerToys-style tool, Microsoft Store app, music/photo/creative app, Tauri desktop, Electron desktop, or any Windows desktop deliverable. Builds Windows 11/12 apps across system-like WinUI 3, branded WinUI 3, Tauri 2, and Electron. ALWAYS ask which track first. SKIP when the user explicitly wants only Apple, Android, or web-in-browser.

Use for web apps, landing pages, dashboards, React/Next/Vite/Tailwind frontends, web UI reference planning, animation, motion, scrolling, GSAP, Motion, Lenis, command palettes, split panes, and frontend interaction decisions. Builds web surfaces with the right surface type, visual direction, hierarchy, motion, layout, copy, assets, and anti-slop discipline. ALWAYS choose surface type and ask which aesthetic direction first. SKIP when the target is a native desktop/mobile app.

Use when the user asks for UX, product flow, user journey, wireframes, usability, conversion, onboarding, checkout, signup, navigation, forms, state design, dashboard workflows, or making an app easier to use over time. Designs and audits user experience flows, information architecture, forms, onboarding, dashboards, settings, empty/loading/error states, activation, retention, and repeated-use product ergonomics before visual polish. Pair with platform UI skills after the UX flow is clear.

Use when the user asks for design tokens, translate these tokens, export tokens, make a Compose color scheme from a Figma palette, audit tokens, or share a single token source across web and native. Generates, audits, and translates W3C DTCG tokens to Tailwind v4 @theme, Compose Material3 ColorScheme and Typography, SwiftUI Color/Font extensions, and WinUI ResourceDictionary. SKIP when no token work is involved.

Use when the user asks to build, design, mock up, scaffold, audit, or improve any interface, flow, screen, page, component, app, UX, onboarding, checkout, dashboard workflow, or product flow and the target platform or flow is ambiguous. Routes to ux-design, web, Windows, Apple, Android, cross-platform, or design-token skills. SKIP when the request explicitly names one platform and no UX flow work is implied.

Use when the user wants one codebase across web, iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac, asks for the same app on all platforms, or names Compose Multiplatform, Tauri 2, React Native, Flutter, .NET MAUI, Avalonia, or Uno Platform. Builds cross-platform UI by translating each surface into the host platform's native idiom rather than pixel-cloning. SKIP when only one platform is targeted.

Build apps for iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 / macOS 26 (Tahoe) / watchOS 26 / visionOS 26 across all common stacks — system-like SwiftUI, branded SwiftUI (HIG + custom identity), React Native, Flutter Cupertino, and Electron/Tauri 2 for macOS. Use when the user asks for SwiftUI, an iOS app, iPad app, Mac app, Apple Watch app, visionOS app, an App Store deliverable, or anything Apple-platform deliverable. ALWAYS ask the user which track first — do not default to SwiftUI. SKIP when the target is only And...

Use when the user asks for an Android app, Compose UI, Material 3, Material You, Pixel-style app, foldable adaptive layout, React Native Android, Flutter Android, Compose Multiplatform, or any Android deliverable. Builds Android 16+ apps across system-like Compose, branded Compose, React Native, Flutter, and Compose Multiplatform. ALWAYS ask which track first. SKIP when the target is only iOS, Windows, or web-in-browser.

Use when the user mentions stark, anti-slop UI, polished UI, UX, product flow, user journey, frontend design quality, design audits, design translation, asset planning, image generation for UI, visual references, animation, motion, scrolling, interaction techniques, or non-generic app/website design. Routes the agent to UX, web, Windows, Apple, Android, cross-platform, asset-selection, interaction, and design-token skills before generic frontend implementation.

UI components and utilities for AndroidBooster. Use when building XML/DataBinding list screens, image loading, dialogs, snackbars, or display/unit conversions. For Compose lazy list components, use androidbooster-ui-compose.

Compose lazy list components for AndroidBooster. Use when building Compose list UIs with ComposeDataColumn or ComposeDataRow, DataItem models, pull-to-refresh, initial loading, endless pagination, or custom progress indicator colors.

Build premium, dark-themed hero sections and landing pages with cinematic video backgrounds, liquid glass morphism, editorial typography, and pixel-perfect specifications. Based on the Viktor Oddy methodology of detailed design prompts that produce agency-quality results from AI code generation. Use when building hero sections, landing pages, or any premium dark UI.

Generate beautiful, distinctive HTML/CSS/JS control panels for MATLAB uihtml components. 8 built-in styles (Clean, Material, Cosmic Dark, Neumorphic, Dashboard Light, Midnight Gradient, Minimal Mono, Warm Dark) plus custom aesthetics. Produces production-grade UI with sliders, buttons, toggles, and panels. Use when building visually polished MATLAB app UIs with uihtml.

Comprehensive design skill: brand identity, design tokens, UI styling, logo generation (55 styles, Gemini, Atlas Cloud, or MuAPI AI), corporate identity program (50 deliverables, CIP mockups), HTML presentations (Chart.js), banner design (22 styles, social/ads/web/print), icon design (15 styles, SVG, Gemini 3.1 Pro), social photos (HTML→screenshot, multi-platform). Actions: design logo, create CIP, generate mockups, build slides, design banner, generate icon, create social photos, social medi...

Token architecture, component specifications, and slide generation. Three-layer tokens (primitive→semantic→component), CSS variables, spacing/typography scales, component specs, strategic slide creation. Use for design tokens, systematic design, brand-compliant presentations.

Design banners for social media, ads, website heroes, creative assets, and print. Multiple art direction options with AI-generated visuals. Actions: design, create, generate banner. Platforms: Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Google Display, website hero, print. Styles: minimalist, gradient, bold typography, photo-based, illustrated, geometric, retro, glassmorphism, 3D, neon, duotone, editorial, collage.

Creates SwiftUI views and screens following MVVM with thin view layers, ViewModel extraction, previews, accessibility support, and loading/error states. Use when user says "create a SwiftUI view", "build a screen", "add a new view", "create a component", "build the UI for", "add a SwiftUI screen", or "make a new SwiftUI page".

This skill applies consistent corporate branding and styling to all generated documents including colors, fonts, layouts, and messaging

PencilPlaybook is the UI Skills / Taste-Skill for Pencil.dev + Claude Code — a design playbook that gives Claude real perceptual psychology and senior-level guardrails so it stops producing averaged-out AI slop.

Critique a generated image against its source storyboard shot and prompt, producing revision notes. Use when the user has generated an image and wants feedback before committing. Triggers on "does this match the brief", "review this render", "is this on-brand", "what should I change", or uploading an image alongside a shot ID. The QA loop for AI visuals. Works even without a storyboard-architect run. Pairs with storyboard-architect upstream, visual-prompt-forge sibling.

Turn a creative brief into a production-grade storyboard with shot specs, timing, on-screen text, and per-shot rationale. Use when the user describes a video brief, plans a video, references shots or beats, scripts a social video, or hands over a creative concept to break into scenes. Produces storyboard.md, shots.json, text-overlays.json, and brand-lock.snapshot.md. Pairs with visual-prompt-forge, visual-asset-critic, storyboard-html-preview.

Create new presentation decks as native editable PPTX files with consulting-quality design. Use when the user wants to build a new slide deck, presentation, or pitch deck from a brief or topic. For editing existing .pptx files, use the pptx skill instead.
