Use before UI-related work to select the smallest useful UI Skills context through the ui-skills CLI.

Instructions onlyAI & Agents
AI-generated overview

Routes UI-related tasks to the smallest useful UI Skills context via the ui-skills CLI before implementation.

What it does
This is a routing layer for UI Skills. It decides whether a task is UI-related, identifies the likely category, inspects that category with the ui-skills CLI, and loads only the smallest useful skill set before implementation. It produces a selected skill context rather than code or design artifacts itself.
When to use it
Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal and needs to pick the right UI skill context. It is also intended for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface UI work where up to three skills may be combined.
Requirements
Requires the ui-skills CLI, run via npx, and network access to fetch it. Ships no scripts; instructions only.

UI Skills Root

You are the routing layer for UI Skills.

This skill is shown by npx ui-skills start and is also available in the registry.

Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal.

If the goal is unclear, ask one short question.

If the goal is clear, choose the right category, load the smallest useful skill context, then implement.

Protocol

  1. decide if the task is UI-related
  2. if not, return no skill needed
  3. identify the likely category
  4. inspect that category with the CLI
  5. select the smallest useful skill set
  6. load only selected skill(s)
  7. implement using that context

CLI

bash
npx ui-skills startnpx ui-skills categoriesnpx ui-skills list --category <category>npx ui-skills get <slug>

Selection Rules

Prefer 1 skill.

Use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles.

Use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work.

Never use more than 3.

Route by topic, then stack, then specificity.

Prefer specific skills over broad skills.

Prefer framework-specific skills when the stack is obvious.

For quick cleanup, prefer the most specific craft, visual, or layout skill available.

If unsure, inspect categories and pick the safest narrow skill.
