## What it does

The skill turns a feature, screen, or UX problem into a design package under `.ulpi/design/`. It defines the visual identity, palette, type roles, scales, signature, and voice. A feature spec then covers user flows, loading and error states, components, responsive behavior, and accessibility rules.

The output is meant for an engineering handoff: this skill produces the specification, not production UI code. It can also inspect reference links through the `browse` skill and distill them into design guidance. The project needs read/write access to its files, and linked references require an available `browse` skill.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ulpi-io/skills --skill frontend-design-ui-ux -a claude-code
```

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

## When to use it
- define a visual language for a new feature
- map a UX flow across its states
- specify component behavior and accessibility
- prepare a build handoff for an engineering agent

## Example prompts
- Design the onboarding flow and write the spec under `.ulpi/design/`.
- Create a visual identity for the dashboard and document its component states.
- Use the `browse` skill to inspect these references, then prepare a design spec for the new feature.
