Designs and builds React/Next/Tailwind UI, audits visual and interaction defects, and stress-tests components with worst-case data. Use when asked to "build a landing page", "extract our design system", "add dark mode", "make this responsive", "remove UI slop", "audit this component", "stress-test this component", "break this UI", or "show me the worst case".

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

Owns everything that touches the built artifact: pick the visual direction, implement it in code, and audit what shipped.

- **IS:** choosing visual direction (palettes, type scales, tokens, layout systems, CRO strategy, brand boards), building UI in code, and auditing built React or Next frontends for user-facing defects with `file:line` evidence, applied fixes, and a ship verdict.
- **IS NOT:** deciding what an interface should do before it exists (use `product-design`); non-UI correctness and code quality (use `tidy`); agentic-app review (use `ax-audit`); deep typography or motion passes (use `typography-audit`, `ui-animation`); measuring the rendered page in a browser (use `ui-verification`); the wording of a string (use `ghostwriter`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mblode/agent-skills/ui-design@sha256:b8c8490a1adee8f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.8d78f92, 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.
