ui-ux-pro-max-skill is a skill that injects design intelligence into AI coding agents. The angle that makes it distinct from the crowd of “make my AI design better” tools is its mechanism: instead of a prose prompt about good taste, it ships curated databases (styles, color palettes, typography pairings, UX rules) plus a Python engine that turns a project description into a concrete design system. Ask for “a landing page for my SaaS product” and it reasons over those tables to emit patterns, color temperament, typography, key effects, anti-patterns, and a delivery checklist.
What is inside
The value lives in the data, not a model. As of 2026-06 the README and repo describe:
- ~67 UI styles (glassmorphism, claymorphism, neobrutalism, Y2K, and so on), split across general, landing-page, and dashboard use.
- ~161 industry-specific color schemes mapped to verticals like SaaS, fintech, healthcare, and ecommerce.
- ~57 Google Fonts pairings with mood tags.
- ~99 UX guidelines covering best practices, anti-patterns, and accessibility.
- Stack-specific guidance for React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, SwiftUI, Flutter, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, and more.
Mechanically it is CSV databases plus Python scripts (a design-system generator, a search tool) plus per-platform prompt templates. That structure is the reason it can produce a repeatable design system rather than vibes.
Install
# CLI (recommended)
npm install -g uipro-cli
cd /path/to/your/project
uipro init --ai claude # or cursor / windsurf / antigravity / all
uipro init --ai claude --global # installs to ~/.claude/skills/
# Plugin marketplace (Claude Code)
/plugin marketplace add nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill
/plugin install ui-ux-pro-max@ui-ux-pro-max-skillIt supports Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Continue, and Gemini CLI as a skill, and Kiro, Copilot, and Roo Code through a slash-command workflow.
Using it
Two modes. As a skill it activates automatically on a design request (“Build a landing page for my SaaS product”). As a workflow it is invoked explicitly (/ui-ux-pro-max Build a landing page ...). You can also run the generator directly:
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech banking" --design-system -f markdownAdd --persist to write a design-system/MASTER.md your agent reads on every subsequent task, which is the feature that keeps a project visually consistent rather than redesigned each prompt.
When it fits, and when it does not
It fits non-designers who want their agent to produce coherent, on-trend interfaces with a documented rationale, and teams who want a persistent design system file. It fits less well if you already have a design system (the generator would compete with it) or if you want a lightweight taste nudge rather than a database engine. The “pro max” branding is marketing; judge it on the databases, which are the real asset.
How it compares
| Project | Approach | Note |
|---|---|---|
| nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill | Database-driven design-system generator | Concrete output, multi-platform |
| pbakaus/impeccable | Design language + deterministic detectors | Catches anti-patterns, rules-first |
| Leonxlnx/taste-skill | General taste nudge | Lighter, stops generic slop |
| nexu-io/open-design | Open design-system tooling | Broader design ecosystem |
impeccable is the sharper comparison: it emphasizes a design language plus deterministic anti-pattern detection, while ui-ux-pro-max leans on its data tables and generator. taste-skill is the lightweight option. Pick by whether you want a generated system (this) or guardrails against bad output (impeccable).
Gotchas from the issue tracker
This is where honesty earns its keep. The most-filed issues are about packaging, not design quality:
- “Cannot install” reports recurred (#347, #334), with a fix to ship skill assets as real file copies rather than symlinks for Windows compatibility (#336).
- The CLI lacked an uninstall and a clean
--globalpath, and one report said it disrupted an OpenCode client (#304). - Security-flavored issues flagged tags usable as prompt injection (#335) and requested path-traversal guards and ZIP integrity checks (#348).
The takeaway: the design databases are strong, the install and packaging machinery has been the rough part across platforms. Expect to fiddle, and check that assets landed as real files.
FAQ
Is ui-ux-pro-max-skill free? Yes. ui-ux-pro-max-skill is MIT-licensed, and it runs inside your agent using whatever model that host already runs, with no separate paid service.
Does ui-ux-pro-max-skill need an API key? No. Its value is curated databases plus a Python generator that run locally; the design reasoning uses your host agent’s existing model.
How do I install ui-ux-pro-max-skill in Claude Code? Run npm install -g uipro-cli then uipro init --ai claude (add --global for ~/.claude/skills/), or add it through the Claude Code plugin marketplace.
Will ui-ux-pro-max-skill clash with my existing design system? It can, since the generator produces its own. If you already have one, use --persist to write a single MASTER.md as the source of truth so the agent stops regenerating per prompt.
