Usability ≠ aesthetics. design-system/design-spatial make it *look* right; this checks whether a first-timer can do the task **without being told how**. Use it whenever a UI "sucks to use," needs a paragraph of instructions, or before shipping anything interactive. ## Rule 0 — fresh eyes, on the rendered artifact (inherited from design-spatial §1) **Never self-grade.** The builder rationalizes its own UI. Render the *live* UI in its **default first-load state** (not a hand-arranged screenshot), capture an **interaction trace** of the primary task, and have a **separate judge** (a subagent/VLM that did NOT build it) score it. A described list of changes is not an audit — the audit is a fresh judge hunting for what's *wrong* on the real screen. ## The procedure 1. **Name the primary task(s)** the UI exis

What does the design-ux skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill design-ux --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
