## What it does

The skill reads the working tree and extracts a design contract: tokens, a component registry, screen archetypes with example files, and the team's conventions. Everything lands in `.uxproof/` and gets committed like code. Run it once per repository, then again after the design system changes.

Extraction runs through `npx uxproof@0.3.1 init --no-skills`. The version is pinned on purpose: `@latest` would execute unreviewed remote code on every run and let a future release change the contract format silently. The `--no-skills` flag is deliberate too — the collection supplies the agent workflow, so the extractor contributes the contract only. Without network or npm access, use the manual fallback in `references/contract-format.md`.

A design system shipped by a dependency or a sibling package is imported as a layer: its tokens and components join the contract tagged with their origin and the installed version, and repository entries win on name collisions. The skill reviews nothing — no findings, no verdicts. When you want judgement, it names the skill that owns it and stops.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-ux-setup -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-ux-setup -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/om-ux-setup/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-ux-setup -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/om-ux-setup/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install open-mercato/skills om-ux-setup
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/om-ux-setup/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-ux-setup -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/open-mercato/skills --path skills/om-ux-setup
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/om-ux-setup/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add open-mercato/skills --skill om-ux-setup -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/open-mercato/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/om-ux-setup/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- extract a repo design contract into `.uxproof/`
- import a dependency's design system as a layer
- refresh the contract after design-system changes
- record team-only rules a scanner cannot infer
- catch tokens coming from scratch or generated files

## Example prompts
- run om-ux-setup and show me what the contract found
- refresh `.uxproof/` after the design system changed
- add a forbidden-class rule to the manual section

# UX Setup

Every UX skill in this collection judges against the repository's own design
system, never against a built-in one. This skill extracts that design system
into an executable contract, committed like code.

It works with any stack that has a design system, and degrades honestly when a
repository has none: the contract records that, reviews fall back to universal
evidence tiers, and the team gets a proposed de-facto palette derived from the
colors its code already uses as the first draft of a design system.

**Input** — none; the skill reads the working tree.
**Output** — `.uxproof/` written or refreshed, plus the handover report from
`references/report-templates.md`.

**Where this skill stops.** It produces a contract and hands it over. It does
not review anything: no findings, no verdicts, no lists of what is wrong with
the code, the screens, or the mockups, however tempting that is once the
contract is fresh. When the user wants judgment, name the skill that owns it
and stop: `om-ux-review-pr` for a pull request's running UI (its `--guard`
mode for a static check of code against the contract, or of the whole
repository with `--health`), `om-ux-shape` in Review mode for a whole module or
flow, and `om-figma-design-with-ds` for design-tool files (a brief for a new
screen, or an audit of an existing design against the contract). When the repository has no design system to
extract, report that limit and leave final visual decisions to the design stage.
For an early flow experiment, name `om-mockup-prototype`: it creates neutral
clickable screens and keeps `.uxproof/` unchanged.

## What the contract holds

- `contract.json` — framework, styling system, component roots,
  native-element equivalents, screen archetypes with example files, counts.
- `tokens.json` — every design token with its kind and source file.
- `components.json` — the component registry.
- `conventions.md` — the human-readable house rules. Its **manual section**
  holds the judgment calls only the team can know, survives every
  regeneration, and outranks generated rules on conflict. This is the
  local-override surface every other UX skill honors.
- `guards.json` (optional) — deterministic conformance rules (forbidden
  patterns, required states) written by the team or imported from a layer; the
  extractor never touches it.
