UI/UX quality gate and build guide for every visual output — landing pages, dashboards, web apps, portfolios, and tools. ui-design remains the main entry point. Integration model: ui-design main trunk + taste-skill overlay. - ui-design owns engineering quality (track selection, component-library strategy, accessibility, responsiveness, theming, performance, preview delivery) - taste-skill is invoked inside the ui-design workflow for style decisions (Brief Inference, Design Dials, Anti-slop…

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 Design Skill

This skill is the **single entry point** for visual work.

Use it for any user-facing HTML/CSS/JS output: landing pages, dashboards, product UI, internal tools, and portfolio pages.

---

## Step 1 — Pick the build track

Choose deliberately before coding:

- **Track A (hand-built)**: static preview, vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, quick custom pages
- **Track B (component library)**: React/Vite/Next project using shadcn/ui, HeroUI, or coss ui

Track decision and component-library strategy are always owned by `ui-design`.

---

## Step 2 — Taste Overlay Contract (mandatory)

Inside ui-design workflow, invoke taste-skill for exactly these 3 style blocks:

1. **Brief Inference**
2. **Design Dials** (layout variance / motion intensity / visual density)
3. **Anti-slop hard rules**

### Boundary

- `ui-design` keeps ownership of engineering quality and delivery.
- `taste-skill` provides style direction and anti-template taste constraints.

This avoids overlap with ui-design’s engineering references (component libraries, a11y, preview, data dashboard implementation).

---

## Step 3 — Runtime order (use this every time)

1. Use `ui-design` to select Track A/B.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/ui-design@sha256:9663c49be9eeaabf

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, 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.
