What it does

Most design-focused agent skills work as aesthetic guardrails: a list of dos and don'ts, a color philosophy, a style manifesto. UI/UX Pro Max approaches the problem differently — it ships a searchable database that your agent queries at the start of any UI task.

The database covers five dimensions: product type (161 industry categories), UI style (67 named styles), color palette (161 palettes), landing page pattern (24 structural layouts), and typography (57 font pairings with 1,923 Google Fonts indexed). 1 When you ask Claude Code to build a landing page for a SaaS security tool, the skill tells the agent which style fits that product category, which palette fits that style, and which typography reinforces both — before a single line of code gets written.

Each product-type entry carries an explicit reasoning rule: recommended patterns, color mood, typography mood, key effects, and a short list of anti-patterns. The banking category, for example, blocks "AI purple/pink gradients." 3 As Medium writer Abhinav Dobhal put it: "The AI doesn't pick designs randomly — it picks them scientifically." 4

The flagship feature, introduced in v2.0.0, is the Design System Generator. Run a single command and the agent produces a complete output: layout pattern, UI style, color scheme, typography system, key effects, anti-pattern checklist, and pre-delivery checklist — all pinned to your project name. 3

python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness" \
  --design-system -p "SerenityApp"

v2.1.0 added a --persist flag that writes the output to design-system/MASTER.md plus per-page override files. 3 That solves one concrete problem: without persistence, a Claude Code session that runs 20 turns can silently drift away from the design decisions made in turn 1.

Which agent ecosystems it supports

Two operating modes depending on the platform:

Skill mode (natural language, auto-triggers): Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Codex CLI, Continue, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qoder, CodeBuddy, Droid, KiloCode, Warp, Augment. Talk to your agent normally — the skill fires when you describe a UI task. 5

Workflow mode (slash command): Kiro, GitHub Copilot, Roo Code, KiloCode. Prefix your request with /ui-ux-pro-max. 5

Tech stacks with first-class support: HTML + Tailwind, React, Next.js, shadcn/ui, Vue, Nuxt.js, Nuxt UI, Angular, Laravel, Svelte, Astro, SwiftUI, Jetpack Compose, React Native, Flutter. 1

How to install

Prerequisites: Python 3.x must be on your machine — the Design System Generator's search engine (search.py) runs on it. 1

# macOS
brew install python3

# Ubuntu / Debian
sudo apt install python3

# Windows
winget install Python.Python.3.12

Three ways to install the skill itself:

Option 1 — CLI (recommended)

npm install -g uipro-cli
uipro init --ai claude          # installs into .claude/skills/
uipro init --ai claude --global # installs into ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects)

Option 2 — skills.sh one-liner

npx skills add https://github.com/nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill --skill ui-ux-pro-max

Option 3 — Claude Marketplace

/plugin marketplace add nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill
/plugin install ui-ux-pro-max@ui-ux-pro-max-skill

Supported --ai values for uipro init: claude, cursor, windsurf, copilot, kiro, codex, gemini, roo, continue, and more. 1

Usage examples

Basic usage (Skill mode): describe your UI task to the agent in natural language.

Build a landing page for a fintech SaaS — I need a hero section, feature grid, and pricing table.

The skill intercepts the request, looks up "fintech saas" against its 161 product-type rules, and instructs the agent to avoid overly playful palettes, prefer structured typography, and skip AI gradient clichés before writing code.

Design System Generator:

# Generate and display a design system
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "pet grooming service" \
  --design-system -p "PawSpa"

# Generate, persist, and format as markdown for CLAUDE.md or DESIGN.md
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "pet grooming service" \
  --design-system -f markdown --persist -p "PawSpa"

The --persist flag writes output to design-system/MASTER.md so every subsequent agent turn in the same project can reference the same design decisions.

Here's what that persisted design system looks like when applied to a real build:

PawSpa pet grooming landing page generated by UI/UX Pro Max — warm cream background, orange CTAs, hero split layout with service pricing badges — PawSpa demo page — warm cream palette, trust badges, and a hero split layout, all generated from the "pet grooming service" design system query. 6

Search individual dimensions (without generating a full system):

# Find styles for a keyword
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "healthcare dashboard" --domain style

# Find color palettes
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "healthcare dashboard" --domain color

# Search Google Fonts
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "modern humanist" --domain google-fonts

v2.3.0–v2.5.0 also shipped four standalone sub-skills for more granular control: brand, design, design-system, and ui-styling. 3 Invoke them by name in Skill mode or with /brand, /design, /design-system, /ui-styling in Workflow mode.

What the community says

Community response follows a consistent split: the floor-raising effect is real, but the skill alone doesn't solve taste consistency.

The positive case: stevengonsalvez on DEV Community described it as a skill that "gives your agent real design taste," working best in combination with Impeccable and Google Stitch. 7 In Dobhal's words: "We're moving from 'human designs, AI implements' to 'human directs, AI designs and implements.'" 4

The limits surface quickly for anyone who relies on it across a long project. A Reddit post in r/ClaudeAI from May 2, 2026 — 16 upvotes, 24 comments — summarized months of real usage: 8

"The output got good fast. Code-wise. Layout-wise. What didn't get good was the taste." 8

The same thread produced a sharper critique from u/brewcast_ai:

"The model will keep reaching for the same archetypes no matter what you write, unless you pin it down with actual reference material." 8

The practical fix that emerged from the thread: pair the Design System Generator's --persist output with a DESIGN.md file that contains actual reference URLs. The skill sets the vocabulary; the reference URLs break the statistical pull toward generic archetypes. One commenter, u/mcdouscherstein, went further and built a separate design system auditor sub-agent that runs on every new file at commit time. 8

On X, @Skiipy88 put the homogeneity concern directly: "You save time, but produce the same output as the other 500k users." 9

Known limitations

Five things to know before committing this to your workflow:

Python 3.x is required and controversial. Issue #352 (opened Jun 12, 2026) explicitly requests removing the Python dependency in favor of pure JS/Node.js. 10 If your environment can't run Python or your team has a no-Python policy, the Design System Generator won't work. The aesthetic guardrail layer (the SKILL.md instructions to the agent) still runs without Python — you lose the search-and-rank engine, not the entire skill.
Installation issues are actively reported. At least three separate GitHub issues filed in June 2026 (issues #347, #338, #334) report installation failures across different setups. 10 Uninstall issues have also appeared (#318, #304), with at least one user reporting that uninstalling the skill disrupted other AI agent client configurations.
Claude's safety system may flag it. Issues #333 and #335 (June 2026) report that some Claude Code versions mark the skill as a prompt injection attempt or as malicious. 10 The skills.sh Gen Agent Trust Hub security audit currently returns a Fail verdict, though Socket and Snyk both return Pass. 2
No cross-session taste memory without --persist. The skill applies its rules at generation time but doesn't retain the choices your agent made — or rejected — in a previous session. Without --persist and an explicit DESIGN.md, every new session starts from the same neutral default. 8
No new releases for ~3 months. v2.5.0 shipped March 10, 2026. As of June 12, 2026, no further releases have appeared. 3 The project is still receiving GitHub issues, but development velocity has dropped from the near-daily release cadence seen in January–March.

When NOT to use this

Skip it if:

You already have a project-specific DESIGN.md with reference screenshots, brand tokens, and visual examples pinned to CLAUDE.md. The skill's value is getting from zero to a coherent design vocabulary quickly — if you've already done that work manually, the overlap is high.
Your team uses a design system like Radix Themes, shadcn/ui presets, or a proprietary token library that your agent must follow strictly. The skill will recommend its own system and may conflict with your existing constraints.
You need deterministic output across thousands of agent invocations and can't tolerate variation. The skill's recommendations are ranked and weighted but not hardcoded — the same prompt may produce slightly different outputs across sessions.
You're on a team with strict no-Python policies or a locked-down environment where brew install python3 isn't available.
You're building forms, dashboards, admin panels, or mobile apps. The skill's current data is weighted toward marketing and landing-page patterns. It has no explicit mobile viewport guidance. 5

Use it if:

You're starting a new product and need to go from blank canvas to coherent design system in one command. The --persist output gives you a committed MASTER.md to pin to your project.
You regularly prototype landing pages for different product types and want industry-appropriate defaults rather than the same generic template each time.
You want your agent to enforce anti-patterns actively (like blocking AI gradient clichés for finance or healthcare) rather than relying on vague style instructions in CLAUDE.md.
Your current AI-generated UI looks fine but indistinguishable — the kind where five different Claude sessions for five different products all produce the same dark hero with a blue CTA. This skill at minimum breaks that default.
