UX Designer Skill loads Claude Code with a working knowledge of modern interface design. It covers layout systems, typography scales, colour theory, responsive patterns, and interaction design. When you ask Claude to build or review a UI component, it draws on these principles instead of guessing.
What it covers
The skill is organized around four areas. First, component design guidance for building new interfaces. It knows when to reach for a modal versus an inline expansion, how to structure form layouts for scannability, and when progressive disclosure helps versus when it hides critical information.
Second, code review from a UX perspective. Point it at a component and it will flag issues like insufficient touch targets, missing focus states, low contrast text, or interaction patterns that break user expectations.
Third, WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. The skill understands the full set of success criteria and can identify when a component fails to meet them. It goes beyond automated checks to catch issues like logical reading order and meaningful sequence that require human judgment.
Fourth, interaction design patterns. It knows established conventions for navigation, state feedback, error recovery, and transitions. When you are deciding between design approaches, it can articulate the tradeoffs in terms of usability rather than aesthetics alone.
Best used for
Frontend teams building component libraries, product designers reviewing pull requests for UX quality, and solo developers who want a second opinion on their interface decisions.
