UI Design Reference - Searchable Pattern Database
Curated reference database of UI/UX patterns, styles, color palettes, font pairings, chart types, product recommendations, UX guidelines, and stack-specific best practices. Use this as a lookup tool to find proven design patterns and implementation guidance.
Prerequisites
Check if Python is installed:
python3 --version || python --version
If Python is not installed, install it based on user's OS:
macOS:
brew install python3
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python3
Windows:
winget install Python.Python.3.12
How to Use This Skill
When user requests UI/UX work (design, build, create, implement, review, fix, improve), follow this workflow:
Step 1: Analyze User Requirements
Extract key information from user request:
- Product type: SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, dashboard, landing page, etc.
- Style keywords: minimal, playful, professional, elegant, dark mode, etc.
- Industry: healthcare, fintech, gaming, education, etc.
- Stack: React, Vue, Next.js, or default to
html-tailwind
Step 2: Search Relevant Domains
Use search.py multiple times to gather comprehensive information. Search until you have enough context.
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --domain <domain> [-n <max_results>]
Recommended search order:
- Product - Get style recommendations for product type
- Style - Get detailed style guide (colors, effects, frameworks)
- Typography - Get font pairings with Google Fonts imports
- Color - Get color palette (Primary, Secondary, CTA, Background, Text, Border)
- Landing - Get page structure (if landing page)
- Chart - Get chart recommendations (if dashboard/analytics)
- UX - Get best practices and anti-patterns
- Stack - Get stack-specific guidelines (default: html-tailwind)
Step 3: Stack Guidelines (Default: html-tailwind)
If user doesn't specify a stack, default to html-tailwind.
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "<keyword>" --stack html-tailwind
Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter
Search Reference
Available Domains
| Domain | Use For | Example Keywords |
|---|---|---|
product | Product type recommendations | SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, healthcare, beauty, service |
style | UI styles, colors, effects | glassmorphism, minimalism, dark mode, brutalism |
typography | Font pairings, Google Fonts | elegant, playful, professional, modern |
color | Color palettes by product type | saas, ecommerce, healthcare, beauty, fintech, service |
landing | Page structure, CTA strategies | hero, hero-centric, testimonial, pricing, social-proof |
chart | Chart types, library recommendations | trend, comparison, timeline, funnel, pie |
ux | Best practices, anti-patterns | animation, accessibility, z-index, loading |
prompt | AI prompts, CSS keywords | (style name) |
Available Stacks
| Stack | Focus |
|---|---|
html-tailwind | Tailwind utilities, responsive, a11y (DEFAULT) |
react | State, hooks, performance, patterns |

react-native | Components, Navigation, Lists |
flutter | Widgets, State, Layout, Theming |
Example Workflow
User request: "Làm landing page cho dịch vụ chăm sóc da chuyên nghiệp"
AI should:
# 1. Search product type
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --domain product
# 2. Search style (based on industry: beauty, elegant)
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "elegant minimal soft" --domain style
# 3. Search typography
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "elegant luxury" --domain typography
# 4. Search color palette
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness" --domain color
# 5. Search landing page structure
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "hero-centric social-proof" --domain landing
# 6. Search UX guidelines
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "animation" --domain ux
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "accessibility" --domain ux
# 7. Search stack guidelines (default: html-tailwind)
python3 .claude/skills/ui-ux-design/scripts/search.py "layout responsive" --stack html-tailwind
Then: Synthesize all search results and implement the design.
Tips for Better Results
- Be specific with keywords - "healthcare SaaS dashboard" > "app"
- Search multiple times - Different keywords reveal different insights
- Combine domains - Style + Typography + Color = Complete design system
- Always check UX - Search "animation", "z-index", "accessibility" for common issues
- Use stack flag - Get implementation-specific best practices
- Iterate - If first search doesn't match, try different keywords
Common Rules for Professional UI
These are frequently overlooked issues that make UI look unprofessional:
Icons & Visual Elements
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| No emoji icons | Use SVG icons (Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons) | Use emojis like 🎨 🚀 ⚙️ as UI icons |
| Stable hover states | Use color/opacity transitions on hover | Use scale transforms that shift layout |
| Correct brand logos | Research official SVG from Simple Icons | Guess or use incorrect logo paths |
| Consistent icon sizing | Use fixed viewBox (24x24) with w-6 h-6 | Mix different icon sizes randomly |
Interaction & Cursor
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor pointer | Add cursor-pointer to all clickable/hoverable cards | Leave default cursor on interactive elements |
| Hover feedback | Provide visual feedback (color, shadow, border) | No indication element is interactive |
| Smooth transitions | Use transition-colors duration-200 | Instant state changes or too slow (>500ms) |
Light/Dark Mode Contrast
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Glass card light mode | Use bg-white/80 or higher opacity | Use bg-white/10 (too transparent) |
| Text contrast light | Use #0F172A (slate-900) for text | Use #94A3B8 (slate-400) for body text |
| Muted text light | Use #475569 (slate-600) minimum | Use gray-400 or lighter |
| Border visibility | Use border-gray-200 in light mode | Use border-white/10 (invisible) |
Layout & Spacing
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|---|---|---|
| Floating navbar | Add top-4 left-4 right-4 spacing | Stick navbar to top-0 left-0 right-0 |
| Content padding | Account for fixed navbar height | Let content hide behind fixed elements |
| Consistent max-width | Use same max-w-6xl or max-w-7xl | Mix different container widths |
Pre-Delivery Checklist
Before delivering UI code, verify these items:
Visual Quality
- No emojis used as icons (use SVG instead)
- All icons from consistent icon set (Heroicons/Lucide)
- Brand logos are correct (verified from Simple Icons)
- Hover states don't cause layout shift
- Use theme colors directly (bg-primary) not var() wrapper
Interaction
- All clickable elements have
cursor-pointer - Hover states provide clear visual feedback
- Transitions are smooth (150-300ms)
- Focus states visible for keyboard navigation
Light/Dark Mode
- Light mode text has sufficient contrast (4.5:1 minimum)
- Glass/transparent elements visible in light mode
- Borders visible in both modes
- Test both modes before delivery
Layout
- Floating elements have proper spacing from edges
- No content hidden behind fixed navbars
- Responsive at 320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px
- No horizontal scroll on mobile
Accessibility
- All images have alt text
- Form inputs have labels
- Color is not the only indicator
