What is the 9-pass UX analysis?

It is a mandatory evaluation sequence that analyzes Mental Models, Information Architecture, Affordances, Cognitive Load, State Design, Flow Integrity, Accessibility, Responsiveness, and Motion.

How does this skill help with accessibility?

The '/design a11y' command performs a specialized audit of semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, ARIA patterns, and color contrast to ensure WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

Can I use the Design skill on an existing codebase?

Yes, the '/design audit' command allows you to analyze existing component paths or page structures to generate an actionable UX issues report.

How does it hand off designs to the frontend?

The '/design build' command automatically invokes the frontend-design skill, passing the full context of the UX spec, mental models, and functional requirements for implementation.

Design Tools

Transforms rough product ideas into production-ready UI specifications using a structured 9-pass UX analysis and design thinking framework.

The Design skill is a comprehensive UI/UX orchestration tool for Claude Code that bridges the gap between vague concepts and high-fidelity frontend implementations. It enforces a rigorous 'iron law' of design, requiring structured analysis across nine critical passes—including mental models, information architecture, and cognitive load—before any visual work begins. Whether you are initiating a new project from a 'vibe-level' idea, auditing an existing interface for usability bottlenecks, or iterating on components based on user feedback, this skill ensures that every UI generated is functional, accessible, and user-centric rather than just 'pretty but unusable.'
