Use when you need design-first, spec-driven, skimmable prompts for UI generation. Covers prompt structure, constraints, variations, typography/spacing rules, and iteration workflow for consistent UI outputs.

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

# Design-First UI Prompting Skill

This skill is for **design-first prompting**: turn fuzzy ideas into a tight spec that produces consistent UI.

## When to use this skill

- Turning a fuzzy UI idea into a tight, skimmable spec using the GOAL / FORMAT / LAYOUT / TYPE SYSTEM / COLOR+MATERIAL / IMAGERY / COPY / CONSTRAINTS / NEGATIVE PROMPT skeleton.
- Locking a single "system" (layout, hierarchy, copy) first, then iterating by changing **one variable at a time** (angle/crop, accent color, card arrangement, background tone).
- Working around unreliable AI-generated typography with the 2-pass workflow: generate without text, then typeset the copy separately (e.g., in Figma).
- Building a "constraints card" (FONT / STYLE / MODE) to anchor a model's output like a mini style guide, or maintaining a local, gitignored reference pack instead of expecting the model to "remember" taste.
- Running the fast-iteration checklist (spacing, contrast, one-hero-line hierarchy, single accent color, texture) or the vague-user question list to clarify what a UI generation request actually needs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akillness/jeo-skills/design-first-ui-prompting@sha256:177d8cbd10468b74

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
