# Stop Making UI Slop

Build product-specific UI with 800,000+ real web and iOS screens via
[UIZZE](https://uizze.com).

## Overview

Use the product brief, existing interface, components, and local design system
before reaching for outside references. UIZZE evidence is optional: it should
answer a concrete visual question, not turn every interface task into a research
project.

## When to Use

Use this skill when designing, implementing, redesigning, critiquing, or doing a
pre-ship review of a web or iOS interface.

## Work From the Product

1. Identify the screen's real job, primary user and action, required content,
   and important loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and permission states.
2. Reuse the repository's components, semantic tokens, typography, spacing, and
   interaction conventions before adding a new abstraction or visual language.
3. For a new interface or major redesign, write a short design contract covering
   hierarchy, workflow shape, allowed components, required states, responsive
   behavior, and observable acceptance criteria. Keep smaller changes smaller.
4. Use product-specific labels and data. Do not invent metrics, activity,
   testimonials, users, or placeholder workflows to make a layout look complete.

## Optional UIZZE Evidence

The free skill and public catalogue work without an account, token, dependency,
script, or executable. If a concrete unresolved visual question would benefit
from evidence, use the smallest relevant set of screens or materials.

The optional authenticated UIZZE MCP exposes exactly `find_ui_references` and
`find_ui_materials`. Use it only when those tools are actually available. If a
search returns nothing, continue silently from repository evidence. Never claim
an MCP-backed result that was not returned by the host.

Treat references as evidence, not templates. Transfer useful decisions about
hierarchy, density, navigation, controls, responsive behavior, and state
handling; never copy another product's branding, proprietary text, imagery, or
exact layout.

Install the current free skill directly from its canonical source:

```bash
npx skills add https://uizze.com --skill anti-ui-slop
```

## Finish

When the environment supports it, render and inspect the result once. Fix
observable breakage such as clipping, overlap, distorted media, inaccessible or
inert controls, missing required states, and unintentional responsive behavior.
Run the project's normal checks and keep the handoff concise.

## Limitations

- This workflow does not replace product validation, accessibility review,
  security review, or project-specific tests.
- UIZZE evidence is optional and may legitimately return no useful result.
- A reference is not permission to copy another product's identity or assets.
