## Quick Reference

### 1. Accessibility (CRITICAL)

- `color-contrast` - Minimum 4.5:1 ratio for normal text
- `focus-states` - Visible focus rings on interactive elements
- `alt-text` - Descriptive alt text for meaningful images
- `aria-labels` - aria-label for icon-only buttons

- `data-table` - Provide table alternative for accessibility

## How to Use

Search specific domains using the CLI tool below.

---

## Prerequisites

Check if Python is installed:

```bash
python3 --version || python --version
```

If Python is not installed, install it based on user's OS:

**macOS:**

```bash
brew install python3
```

**Ubuntu/Debian:**

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3
```

**Windows:**

```powershell
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:

```bash
python3 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:**

```bash
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"
```

### Step 2b: Persist Design System (Master + Overrides Pattern)

To save the design system for **hierarchical retrieval across sessions**, add `--persist`:

```bash
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name"
```

This creates:

- `design-system/MASTER.md` — Global Source of Truth with all design rules
- `design-system/pages/` — Folder for page-specific overrides

**With page-specific override:**

```bash
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name" --page "dashboard"
```

This also creates:

- `design-system/pages/dashboard.md` — Page-specific deviations from Master

**How hierarchical retrieval works:**

1. When building a specific page (e.g., "Checkout"), first check `design-system/pages/checkout.md`
2. If the page file exists, its rules **override** the Master file
3. If not, use `design-system/MASTER.md` exclusively

**Context-aware retrieval prompt:**

```
I am building the [Page Name] page. Please read design-system/MASTER.md.
Also check if design-system/pages/[page-name].md exists.
If the page file exists, prioritize its rules.
If not, use the Master rules exclusively.
Now, generate the code...
```

### Step 3: Supplement with Detailed Searches (as needed)

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

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

**When to use detailed searches:**

| Need                  | Domain       | Example                                 |
| --------------------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| More style options    | `style`      | `--domain style "glassmorphism dark"`   |
| Chart recommendations | `chart`      | `--domain chart "real-time dashboard"`  |
| UX best practices     | `ux`         | `--domain ux "animation accessibility"` |
| Alternative fonts     | `typography` | `--domain typography "elegant luxury"`  |
| Landing structure     | `landing`    | `--domain landing "hero social-proof"`  |

### Step 4: Stack Guidelines (Default: html-tailwind)

Get implementation-specific best practices. If user doesn't specify a stack, **default to `html-tailwind`**.

```bash
python3 skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind
```

Available stacks: `html-tailwind`, `react`, `nextjs`, `vue`, `svelte`, `swiftui`, `react-native`, `flutter`, `shadcn`, `jetpack-compose`

## Tips for Better Results

1. **Be specific with keywords** - "healthcare SaaS dashboard" > "app"
2. **Search multiple times** - Different keywords reveal different insights
3. **Combine domains** - Style + Typography + Color = Complete design system
4. **Always check UX** - Search "animation", "z-index", "accessibility" for common issues
5. **Use stack flag** - Get implementation-specific best practices
6. **Iterate** - If first search doesn't match, try different keywords

## Common Rules for Professional UI

These are frequently overlooked issues that make UI look unprofessional:

### Icons & Visual Elements

| Rule                       | Do                                              | Don't                                  |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **No emoji icons**         | Use SVG icons (Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons) | Use emojis like 🎨 🚀 ⚙️ as UI icons   |
| **Stable hover states**    | Use color/opacity transitions on hover          | Use scale transforms that shift layout |
| **Correct brand logos**    | Research official SVG from Simple Icons         | Guess or use incorrect logo paths      |
| **Consistent icon sizing** | Use fixed viewBox (24x24) with w-6 h-6          | Mix different icon sizes randomly      |

### Interaction & Cursor

| Rule                   | Do                                                    | Don't                                        |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Cursor pointer**     | Add `cursor-pointer` to all clickable/hoverable cards | Leave default cursor on interactive elements |
| **Hover feedback**     | Provide visual feedback (color, shadow, border)       | No indication element is interactive         |
| **Smooth transitions** | Use `transition-colors duration-200`                  | Instant state changes or too slow (>500ms)   |

### Light/Dark Mode Contrast

| Rule                      | Do                                  | Don't                                   |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| **Glass card light mode** | Use `bg-white/80` or higher opacity | Use `bg-white/10` (too transparent)     |
| **Text contrast light**   | Use `#0F172A` (slate-900) for text  | Use `#94A3B8` (slate-400) for body text |
| **Muted text light**      | Use `#475569` (slate-600) minimum   | Use gray-400 or lighter                 |
| **Border visibility**     | Use `border-gray-200` in light mode | Use `border-white/10` (invisible)       |

### Layout & Spacing

| Rule                     | Do                                  | Don't                                  |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Floating navbar**      | Add `top-4 left-4 right-4` spacing  | Stick navbar to `top-0 left-0 right-0` |
| **Content padding**      | Account for fixed navbar height     | Let content hide behind fixed elements |
| **Consistent max-width** | Use same `max-w-6xl` or `max-w-7xl` | Mix different container widths         |
