What does this agent skill do?
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
- decide if the task is UI-related
- if not, return
no skill needed - identify the likely category
- inspect that category with the CLI
- select the smallest useful skill set
- load only selected skill(s)
- implement using that context
CLI
npx ui-skills start
npx ui-skills categories
npx 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.
