What frameworks does this skill support?

This skill is specifically optimized for React (TSX) using Tanstack Start and shadcn/ui components, though the principles apply to any Tailwind-based project.

How does it improve user accessibility?

It validates that all interactive elements have visible focus states and clear visual feedback for state changes, which are essential for users relying on keyboard navigation.

Does this skill add heavy animation libraries to my project?

No, it prioritizes lightweight CSS transitions and Tailwind utility classes, only suggesting external libraries like Framer Motion for complex sequences.

When does the validator automatically trigger?

It activates whenever you create interactive elements, add event handlers, initiate async API calls, or modify component state transitions.

Design Tools

Validates and enforces engaging user experiences by ensuring proper animations, transitions, and interactive feedback states in React applications.

About

This skill acts as a real-time UX auditor for Claude, specifically optimized for Tanstack Start and shadcn/ui environments. It monitors your codebase for interactive elements such as buttons, forms, and navigation components to ensure they provide meaningful visual feedback. By flagging missing hover effects, jarring state changes, and omitted loading indicators, the skill helps developers move beyond static interfaces toward polished, professional applications. It provides ready-to-use remediation patterns leveraging Tailwind CSS transitions and micro-interactions.

Key Features

Automated hover and focus state validation for all interactive components
Detection of jarring UI updates to suggest smooth CSS or Framer Motion transitions
Accessibility-focused checks for visible keyboard navigation indicators
Enforcement of loading and disabled states during asynchronous operations
Micro-interaction analysis to add subtle polish to icons and UI elements
2 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Ensuring all async form submissions have clear, animated user feedback states
Transforming a basic functional prototype into a polished, high-end production interface
Standardizing interaction patterns and animation durations across a collaborative codebase
