What is the ui-ux-pro-max skill?
ui-ux-pro-max is an open-source skill from nextlevelbuilder. Its SKILL.md drives a local Python search script over bundled data: 79 searchable styles, 192 palette and reasoning profiles, 74 font pairings, 119 UX guidelines and 22 stack guides. Your agent generates a design system first, then builds against it.
ui-ux-pro-max is a skill for UI and UX work on web, mobile and desktop. The skill folder holds a SKILL.md, a data folder, a references folder and a Python script called search.py. The script runs BM25 search over the bundled data, uses only the Python standard library and makes no network calls, so the lookup is local.
The skill's description lists what the data holds: 79 searchable styles, of which 50 are active, 192 product palettes and reasoning profiles, 74 font pairings, 119 UX guidelines, 105 icons, 17 GSAP presets, 25 chart types and 22 technology stacks.
What changes in your agent's output
- For a new page or project, the agent runs a design-system query first. It returns a pattern, style, colors, typography, effects and anti-patterns to avoid.
- The agent can save that result as design-system/<project>/MASTER.md, with page-level override files in a pages folder, so later sessions reuse the same decisions.
- Targeted problems get a targeted search by domain, such as ux, color, typography, chart, icons or gsap.
- Stack questions get a stack search. SKILL.md says never to assume a stack, so the agent checks package.json, pubspec.yaml or similar files first.
- An empty result is not covered up. The skill tells the agent to retry once, then say the answer came from built-in defaults.
The priority order
SKILL.md ranks ten categories so the agent knows what to settle first: accessibility and touch and interaction rank critical, then performance, style selection, layout and responsive, typography and color, animation, forms and feedback, navigation and charts. Full rule text sits in a references file that the agent reads on demand.
Who the ui-ux-pro-max skill is for
Best for
- New products where you want a stated style, palette and font pairing chosen from data before any code.
- Teams that want a saved MASTER.md to keep pages consistent across sessions.
- Mobile and desktop work, since the stack list includes SwiftUI, Flutter, React Native, Jetpack Compose and WPF alongside web frameworks.
Not for
- Backend logic, API or database design, infrastructure and non-visual scripts. SKILL.md says to skip it for these.
- Someone who wants a strong single point of view. The skill returns matches from a database. For an opinionated anti-template rulebook, see design-taste-frontend.
- Reviewing finished code against a fixed checklist. web-design-guidelines is built for that.

How to install UI UX Pro Max Skill: Design Search for Agents
npm install -g ui-ux-pro-max-cliThe README documents uipro update to refresh files, uipro uninstall to remove them and uipro init --dry-run to preview an install without writing files.Install the CLI
Run
npm install -g ui-ux-pro-max-cli. The README notes that the package still installs the uipro command and that the older uipro-cli package is stale.Install into your project
From your project folder, run
uipro init --ai <agent>. The README lists targets including claude, cursor, windsurf, antigravity, copilot, kiro, codex, gemini, opencode, continue, warp and universal, plus all. Add --global to install into the agent's global skills folder.Optional: Claude Code marketplace route
In Claude Code you can instead run
/plugin marketplace add nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill, then/plugin install ui-ux-pro-max@ui-ux-pro-max-skill.Make sure Python 3 exists
The search script needs Python 3. Run
python3 --version. The README says to install it yourself if missing, and that agents should ask you rather than install software.Ask for UI work
Describe a page, for example a landing page for a booking app. The agent should run a design-system search before writing code.
Check that it loaded
Ask for a small landing page. The agent should run search.py with --design-system, show a style, palette and font pairing, and only then write the page.
Key features
- Design-system generatorA --design-system query aggregates product, style, color, landing-page and typography matches and applies reasoning rules, returning one coherent direction with anti-patterns to avoid.
- Persisted MASTER.mdWith --persist and an output directory, the script writes design-system/<project>/MASTER.md and a pages folder. A page file overrides the master. An existing master is left alone unless --force is passed.
- Design dialsOptional --variance, --motion and --density flags take values from 1 to 10. They shift the style bias, attach a matching GSAP snippet and change the spacing scale, for example dense for dashboards.
- Domain searchA --domain flag searches one dataset: product, style, color, typography, google-fonts, chart, ux, landing, icons, gsap, react or web. Without it, the domain is auto-detected.
- Stack guidelinesA --stack flag returns guidance for one of 22 stacks, including react, nextjs, vue, svelte, astro, angular, laravel, swiftui, flutter, react-native, html-tailwind and shadcn.
- 119 UX guidelinesThe ux domain covers accessibility, touch targets, loading feedback, forms, navigation and motion, with rules such as a 4.5:1 contrast minimum and 44 by 44 pixel touch targets.
- Priority tableTen categories are ranked from accessibility down to charts, each with must-have checks and anti-patterns, so the agent works on the highest-impact issues first.
- Fallback honestyWhen a search returns nothing, the agent retries once and then labels the answer as a general default instead of presenting it as a database match.
- Local and offlinesearch.py needs Python 3 and nothing else. The script has no network calls, and SKILL.md says it does not install packages or change the operating system.
Frequently asked questions
What is the ui-ux-pro-max skill?
It is an open-source skill from the nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill repository. It gives your agent a local search tool over bundled styles, palettes, font pairings, UX guidelines and stack guides, and tells the agent to generate a design system first and then build against it.
How do I install the ui-ux-pro-max skill?
Run npm install -g ui-ux-pro-max-cli, then run uipro init --ai followed by your agent name from inside your project. Add --global for a global install. The README also documents a Claude Code marketplace route with two slash commands. Python 3 must be present for the search script.
Which AI coding agents does ui-ux-pro-max support?
The README lists skill mode for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Codex CLI, Continue, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Qoder, CodeBuddy, Droid, KiloCode, Warp, Augment, CodeWhale and ZCode. It also describes a slash-command mode for Kiro, GitHub Copilot, Roo Code and KiloCode.
Does the search tool send my project data anywhere?
The skill says search.py is a local BM25 script that uses only the Python standard library and has no network calls. SKILL.md also tells the agent not to put private project data in queries or in persisted output. Read the script yourself if your policy requires confirmation.
What does the persisted MASTER.md do?
It stores the generated design system in design-system/<project>/MASTER.md so later sessions follow the same decisions. Page files in a pages folder override it for one page. SKILL.md says an existing master is skipped unless --force is passed, and that --force needs your explicit approval.
Is ui-ux-pro-max free and open source?
The repository uses the MIT license, and GitHub shows it. The README also describes a premium tier with brand and logo skills. Check the repository for what the open-source skill includes before you plan around a feature.
How is it different from design-taste-frontend or shadcn?
ui-ux-pro-max is a searchable database that returns matching styles, palettes and rules. design-taste-frontend is a single opinionated rulebook with three dials. shadcn teaches an agent to use one component library correctly. Pick one lead skill to avoid conflicting instructions.
