What ui-skills does

This skill guides coding agents through interface design choices. When an agent creates scattered buttons or input forms, styles often diverge. ui-skills enforces design system constraints to keep small interface pieces visually aligned.

Curated from @ibelick, the entry in nexu-io/open-design works as an index so agents discover the rules during planning. The full workflow requires the upstream bundle if you need its original scripts and reference assets. Relying solely on this catalogue entry limits the agent to basic triggers without upstream files.

What it helps with

  • maintain consistent styles across isolated UI components
  • inject design system constraints during agent planning
  • prevent styling drift when building interface fragments
  • route UI generation through opinionated layout rules

Example prompts for the agent

  • Use ui constraints to build a settings modal
  • Follow ui guide for the navigation bar layout
  • Invoke ui-skills to style the checkout form

## What it does

Opinionated, evolving constraints to guide agents when building interfaces. Useful for keeping output coherent across many small UI pieces.

## Source

- Upstream: https://github.com/ibelick/ui-skills
- Category: `design-systems`

## How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent
discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with
its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream
bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

```bash
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/ibelick/ui-skills
