Design and critique web or mobile interfaces using Erik Kennedy's practical UI method. Use for screen design, visual redesign, component refinement, or focused UI design practice.

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

# Practical UI Design through Learn UI Design and Design Hacks

Based on Erik Kennedy's public method. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Erik Kennedy.

## When to use

Use this skill to design a concrete web or mobile screen, improve an existing interface, explain a visual problem, or practice a specific UI technique. It is especially useful when a developer or UX designer needs actionable decisions about attention, layout, controls, typography, color, and component coherence. Work with the actual content and task rather than delivering an abstract aesthetics lecture. [S1][S5]

Choose the output that matches the request: an implemented screen, an annotated design specification, a prioritized critique, or a controlled practice exercise. Preserve the user's platform, brand constraints, existing component system, and intended scope. For practice, reproduce a reference to study its decisions; for production, apply the learned relationships to the user's own interface. [S6][S7]

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add getedgehq/skills/kennedy-practical-ui@sha256:e0b6e4d8496b14f9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.d5668a9, 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.
