Check if Python is installed:
python3 --version || python --version
If Python is not installed, install it based on user's OS:
macOS:
brew install python3
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3
Windows:
winget install Python.Python.3.12
When user requests UI/UX work (design, build, create, implement, review, fix, improve), follow this workflow:
Extract key information from user request:
html-tailwindAlways start with --design-system to get comprehensive recommendations with reasoning:
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<product_type> <industry> <keywords>" --design-system [-p "Project Name"]
This command:
ui-reasoning.csv to select best matchesExample:
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"
To save the design system for hierarchical retrieval across sessions, add --persist:
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name"
This creates:
design-system/MASTER.md — Global Source of Truth with all design rulesdesign-system/pages/ — Folder for page-specific overridesWith page-specific override:
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<query>" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name" --page "dashboard"
This also creates:
design-system/pages/dashboard.md — Page-specific deviations from MasterHow hierarchical retrieval works:
design-system/pages/checkout.mddesign-system/MASTER.md exclusivelyAfter getting the design system, use domain searches to get additional details:
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]
When to use detailed searches:
| Need | Domain | Example |
|---|---|---|
| More style options | style | --domain style "glassmorphism dark" |
| Chart recommendations | chart | --domain chart "real-time dashboard" |
| UX best practices | ux | --domain ux "animation accessibility" |
| Alternative fonts | typography | --domain typography "elegant luxury" |
| Landing structure | landing | --domain landing "hero social-proof" |
Get implementation-specific best practices. If user doesn't specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind
Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter, shadcn, jetpack-compose

react | React/Next.js performance | waterfall, bundle, suspense, memo, rerender, cache |
web | Web interface guidelines | aria, focus, keyboard, semantic, virtualize |
prompt | AI prompts, CSS keywords | (style name) |
| Stack | Focus |
|---|---|
html-tailwind | Tailwind utilities, responsive, a11y (DEFAULT) |
react | State, hooks, performance, patterns |
nextjs | SSR, routing, images, API routes |
vue | Composition API, Pinia, Vue Router |
svelte | Runes, stores, SvelteKit |
swiftui | Views, State, Navigation, Animation |
react-native | Components, Navigation, Lists |
flutter | Widgets, State, Layout, Theming |
shadcn | shadcn/ui components, theming, forms, patterns |

User request: "Build a landing page for a professional skincare service"
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service elegant" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"
Output: Complete design system with pattern, style, colors, typography, effects, and anti-patterns.
# Get UX guidelines for animation and accessibility
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "animation accessibility" --domain ux
# Get alternative typography options if needed
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury serif" --domain typography
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "layout responsive form" --stack html-tailwind
Then: Synthesize design system + detailed searches and implement the design.
The --design-system flag supports two output formats:
# ASCII box (default) - best for terminal display
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system
# Markdown - best for documentation
python3 .shared/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system -f markdown
These are frequently overlooked issues that make UI look unprofessional:
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| No emoji icons | Use SVG icons (Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons) | Use emojis as UI icons |
| Stable hover states | Use color/opacity transitions on hover | Use scale transforms that shift layout |
| Correct brand logos | Research official SVG from Simple Icons | Guess or use incorrect logo paths |
| Consistent icon sizing | Use fixed viewBox (24x24) with w-6 h-6 | Mix different icon sizes randomly |
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor pointer | Add cursor-pointer to all clickable/hoverable cards | Leave default cursor on interactive elements |
| Hover feedback | Provide visual feedback (color, shadow, border) | No indication element is interactive |
| Smooth transitions | Use transition-colors duration-200 | Instant state changes or too slow (>500ms) |
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Glass card light mode | Use bg-white/80 or higher opacity | Use bg-white/10 (too transparent) |
| Text contrast light | Use #0F172A (slate-900) for text | Use #94A3B8 (slate-400) for body text |
| Muted text light | Use #475569 (slate-600) minimum | Use gray-400 or lighter |
| Border visibility | Use border-gray-200 in light mode | Use border-white/10 (invisible) |
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Floating navbar | Add top-4 left-4 right-4 spacing | Stick navbar to top-0 left-0 right-0 |
| Content padding | Account for fixed navbar height | Let content hide behind fixed elements |
| Consistent max-width | Use same max-w-6xl or max-w-7xl | Mix different container widths |
