## What it does

This skill turns a daily UI inspiration run into an article-ready bundle. It creates `articles/YYYY-MM-DD-ui-inspiration-capture/` with `content.md`, `manifest.json`, local stills, and local videos or documented fallback reasons. Each of the exactly 5 references can include a full-page screenshot, contiguous section crops from hero to footer, and motion frames when video capture succeeds.

Before selecting finalists, the skill reads earlier `manifest.json` files and rejects repeated normalized titles, source URLs, or image URLs. It builds the article around evidence, visual patterns, motion notes, and a long AI-builder prompt covering sections, typography, spacing, colors, states, timing, and scroll behavior. Browser work has a firm constraint: the skill requires the Codex in-app browser and does not allow Chrome, so check that capture path before running it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill daily-ui-inspiration-capture -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill daily-ui-inspiration-capture -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill daily-ui-inspiration-capture -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills daily-ui-inspiration-capture
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill daily-ui-inspiration-capture -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/codex/daily-ui-inspiration-capture
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill daily-ui-inspiration-capture -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/MengTo/Skills/tree/HEAD/agent-skills/codex/daily-ui-inspiration-capture/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- assemble a dated UI reference bundle for an article
- remove duplicates from earlier captures
- save a full-page screenshot with section crops
- record reference videos and motion frames
- write an AI-builder prompt from a visual reference

## Example prompts
- Run `daily-ui-inspiration-capture` for the current project and collect today’s 5 UI references.
- Refresh `articles/YYYY-MM-DD-ui-inspiration-capture/`, check duplicates, and save the local stills, videos, and motion frames.
- Create the article with `content.md`, `manifest.json`, section evidence, and an AI-builder prompt using the latest UI references.

# Daily UI Inspiration Capture

## Overview

Run the current project's daily UI inspiration workflow as an article-ready bundle, not a screenshot dump or README. Treat the active project runbook as source of truth, but keep the contract below as the default unless the user updates it.

## Start

Work from the content/article project named by the user. If no project is named, use the current workspace and say which directory you used.

Before collecting, read:

- `AGENTS.md`, if present or supplied in the prompt
- `scripts/ui-inspiration-capture-guidelines.md`, if present
- the latest one or two `articles/*-ui-inspiration-capture/content.md` and `manifest.json` files for current shape

Check `git status --short` early. This repo is often dirty; keep changes scoped to the requested dated bundle or skill files.

For any browser work, use the Codex in-app browser only. Do not use Chrome. If a source blocks inspection, use the best available Codex-browser evidence or local asset fallback and say why.

## Output Contract

Create a dated folder:

```text
articles/YYYY-MM-DD-ui-inspiration-capture/
```

The folder should contain at minimum:

- `content.md`
- `manifest.json`
- local still images
- local video files or clear per-item video fallback reasons
- one full-page scroll screenshot per live website reference
- section-by-section crops from that full-page screenshot for the hero, every meaningful middle section, and the footer
- motion-frame images when video capture succeeds

Do not create `README.md`.

Collect exactly 5 final references. The newer 5-reference motion-study workflow supersedes older 20-image gallery runs.

Prefer live, inspectable landing pages and product sections. Framer Marketplace is a strong source. Dribbble is best effort; if blocked by WAF or poor assets, finish with stronger Framer or direct-page candidates instead of forcing brittle workarounds.

## Selection

Load previous `articles/*-ui-inspiration-capture/manifest.json` files before choosing finalists.
