Research-first UI/UX design workflow. Use BEFORE any frontend visual work to research modern patterns, gather inspiration from real products, and avoid generic AI-generated looks. Mandatory prerequisite for quality UI work.
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 Research Research real products before designing new UI, so the result is grounded in how shipped products solve the problem. This skill ensures UI work is informed by real-world inspiration, modern patterns, and human-centered design - not generic AI output. **Essential Reference:** See [UI Inspiration Sources](../_shared/UI_INSPIRATION_SOURCES.md) --- ## When to Use This Skill Use before: - Creating new UI components - Designing landing pages - Building dashboards or admin UIs - Developing mobile app screens - Any visual/frontend work --- ## Research Workflow ### Phase 1: Define Before searching, answer: ``` 1. What am I building? (component, page, flow) 2. What platform? (web, iOS, Android, desktop) 3. What industry? (SaaS, e-commerce, fintech, etc.) 4. What feeling? (professional, playful, minimal, bold) 5. What constraints? (existing brand, tech stack, timeline) ``` ### Phase 2: Research **Search Strategy:** ```bash # For each UI task, search at least 3 sources: # 1. Real products (MOST IMPORTANT) Search: Mobbin, UI Sources, Refero Why: See how real companies solved this problem # 2. Curated galleries Search: Land-book, Awwwards, Godly …

How to install
mdr add travisjneuman/.claude/ui-research@sha256:8161178abf56615fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.c8d311d, 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.
