scaffold-project

Scaffold a new design-product project that matches the recommended Claude Code layout (the reference structure). Use when starting a fresh product/app that will be built with this design system.

Install in Claude Code
Copy
mkdir -p ~/.claude/commands && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills/HEAD/.claude/commands/scaffold-project.md -o ~/.claude/commands/scaffold-project.md
Then start a new Claude Code session; the slash command loads automatically.

scaffold-project.md

Generate a new design-project skeleton from `templates/product-design/` (Track B
of `docs/restructure-plan.md`) into a target directory the user names.

The layout to produce (exactly the reference structure):

```
<target>/
  # CONTEXT CLAUDE LOADS
  CLAUDE.md              the brief Claude reads every session
  CLAUDE.local.md        your personal prefs, gitignored
  .mcp.json              Figma, Notion, Drive connections

  # TEAM TOOLKIT
  .claude/
    rules/               conventions, loaded only when relevant
    skills/              repeatable workflows, off main context
    commands/            your custom slash commands
    settings.json        shared permissions, checked into git

  # YOUR PROJECT
  design-tokens.json     source of truth: color, type, spacing
  src/components/        the real UI Claude reads and edits
  public/images/         real images so prototypes don't break
  reference/             real screens Claude studies for context
```

The fast path, when the kit is installed or reachable via npx:

```
npx ux-ui-agent-skills new <target>
```

That does steps 2 and 3 below in one call (template copied, `CLAUDE.local.md`
un-suffixed, engine areas installed without overwriting the lean brief). Then pick
up at step 4. The manual steps are spelled out so the same result can be produced
by hand from a clone.

Steps:
1. Ask for the target directory if not given. Create it if it does not exist.
2. Copy every file of `templates/product-design/` into it, preserving the tree.
   Two rules on the copy:
   - `CLAUDE.local.md.template` lands as `CLAUDE.local.md` (the suffix exists
     only so the kit's own gitignore cannot swallow the file).
   - `.gitkeep` stays in `.claude/skills/`, `.claude/commands/`,
     `src/components/`, `public/images/`, and `reference/` so the empty folders
     survive the first commit.
   The template already ships `.gitignore` (which ignores `CLAUDE.local.md`),
   `.mcp.json`, `.claude/settings.json`, and three rules files
   (`components.md`, `tokens.md`, `accessibility.md`).
3. Install the engine next to it so the gates the brief references actually run:

   ```
   npx ux-ui-agent-skills add tokens components taste accessibility \
       workflows content frameworks design-systems scripts skills
   ```

   Use `add`, not `init`: `init` also writes the full engine `CLAUDE.md` over the
   lean project brief. The project brief stays short by design, and the engine
   knowledge loads from the copied folders when a task needs it.
4. Install the render gates' one dependency in the target: `npm i -D playwright`.
   Skipping this is silent: every render gate prints `SKIPPED` and exits 0.
5. Fill in the placeholders in `CLAUDE.md` with the user: product, primary user,
   stack, icon set, vocabulary. Leave nothing in angle brackets behind.
6. Point `design-tokens.json` at the brand: replace the `primitive.brand` ramp,
   keep the semantic and component tiers, then prove it still passes:

   ```
   python3 scripts/validate_contrast.py
   ```

7. Remind the user to fill `reference/` with real screens and `public/images/`
   with real imagery, and to set the MCP env vars (`FIGMA_API_KEY`, ...) in their
   own shell. Never write a secret into `.mcp.json`.

Verify before handing over: the target tree matches the layout above, and

```
python3 scripts/validate_template.py
```

passes against the source template.
a11y-auditSkill

Audit a UI or design against WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA and ARIA patterns, returning criterion-referenced findings with severity and specific fixes. Use when the user wants an accessibility check, contrast verification, keyboard/screen-reader review, or wants to confirm a component meets POUR.

apply-aestheticSkill

Apply a visual direction — an archetype (high-end agency, editorial minimal, brutalist, soft-SaaS, dark-tech) or one of 138 named design systems (apple, linear-app, stripe, vercel, notion, material, shadcn, spotify, tesla…) — by resolving it into the token system. Use when the user wants a specific look/vibe/brand feel, or asks to make a design feel premium/expensive/non-generic.

brandkitSkill

Generate a complete, accessible brand design system from a brief — primitive → semantic → component DTCG tokens (color, type, spacing, radius, shadow, motion), light + dark, plus a single theme.css — verified for WCAG. Use when the user wants a from-scratch brand/design foundation, a new palette + type system, or a themeable token kit for a product.

design-codeSkill

Generate production-ready, accessible, token-driven component code for ANY framework — React+Tailwind, Next.js, SwiftUI, Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid, Web Components/Lit, React Native, Flutter, Jetpack Compose, vanilla CSS, or CSS-in-JS. Use when the user wants working UI code for a component or screen in a specific stack.

design-componentSkill

Design a UI component spec to the house quality bar — anatomy, variants, sizes, the 8 states, token mapping, and accessibility. Use when the user wants to design or document a component (button, input, tabs, toast, combobox, date picker, modal, etc.) at the spec level before or alongside code. For generating framework code, use design-code.

design-qaSkill

Set up or run design QA gates — token + hardcoded-value lint, automated a11y (axe), contrast, visual regression across variants/states/themes/RTL, and the manual a11y checklist. Use when the user wants CI quality gates, to prevent design regressions, or to QA a component/screen before shipping.

design-reviewSkill

Review or audit a design/UI across 6 weighted dimensions with Nielsen's 10 heuristics and a prioritized findings table. Use when the user wants a design critique, quality score, heuristic evaluation, or audit of an existing screen, page, or product before/after build.

design-tokensSkill

Generate, extend, or audit design tokens in DTCG format with the 3-tier architecture (primitive → semantic → component). Use when the user wants a color palette, type scale, spacing/shadow/radius/motion tokens, multi-brand theming, or wants to validate token files. Covers colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders, breakpoints, motion, gradients, opacity, blur, sizing, states, theming.
