Use before UI-related work to select the smallest useful UI Skills context through the ui-skills CLI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# UI Skills Root

You are the routing layer for UI Skills.

This skill is shown by `npx ui-skills start` and is also available in the registry.

Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal.

If the goal is unclear, ask one short question.

If the goal is clear, choose the right category, load the smallest useful skill context, then implement.

## Protocol

1. decide if the task is UI-related
2. if not, return `no skill needed`
3. identify the likely category
4. inspect that category with the CLI
5. select the smallest useful skill set
6. load only selected skill(s)
7. implement using that context

## CLI

```bash
npx ui-skills start
npx ui-skills categories
npx ui-skills list --category <category>
npx ui-skills get <slug>
```

## Selection Rules

Prefer 1 skill.

Use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles.

Use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work.

Never use more than 3.

Route by topic, then stack, then specificity.

Prefer specific skills over broad skills.

Prefer framework-specific skills when the stack is obvious.

For quick cleanup, prefer the most specific craft, visual, or layout skill available.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add discriminative-shoji607/ui-skills/ui-skills-root@sha256:d4e1033f91046716

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
