Prerequisites
Python 3 is required for the search CLI.
python3 --version
Workflow
When a user requests UI/UX work (design, build, create, implement, review, fix, improve), follow these steps.
Step 1: Analyze Requirements
Extract from the user request:
html-tailwindStep 2: Generate Design System
Always start with --design-system to get comprehensive recommendations:
python3 scripts/search.py " " --design-system [-p "Project Name"]
This searches 5 domains in parallel (product, style, color, landing, typography), applies reasoning rules from ui-reasoning.csv, and returns a complete design system: pattern, style, colors, typography, effects, and anti-patterns.
Example:
python3 scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"
Step 2b: Persist Design System
Save the design system for hierarchical retrieval across sessions:
python3 scripts/search.py "" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name"
Creates:
design-system/MASTER.md β Global source of truthdesign-system/pages/ β Folder for page-specific overridesWith page override:
python3 scripts/search.py "" --design-system --persist -p "Project Name" --page "dashboard"
Hierarchical retrieval: When building a specific page, check design-system/pages/ first. If it exists, its rules override the Master file. Otherwise use design-system/MASTER.md exclusively.
Step 3: Supplement with Domain Searches
After generating the design system, use domain searches for additional detail:
python3 scripts/search.py "" --domain [-n ]
| Need | Domain | Example |
|------|--------|---------|
| More style options | style | --domain style "glassmorphism dark" |
| Chart recommendations | chart | --domain chart "real-time dashboard" |
| UX best practices | ux | --domain ux "animation accessibility" |
| Alternative fonts | typography | --domain typography "elegant luxury" |
| Landing structure | landing | --domain landing "hero social-proof" |
Step 4: Stack Guidelines
Get implementation-specific best practices. Default to html-tailwind if unspecified.
python3 scripts/search.py "" --stack html-tailwind
Available stacks: html-tailwind, react, nextjs, vue, svelte, swiftui, react-native, flutter, shadcn, jetpack-compose
Search Reference
Domains
| Domain | Use For | Example Keywords |
|--------|---------|------------------|
| product | Product type recommendations | SaaS, e-commerce, portfolio, healthcare |
| style | UI styles, colors, effects | glassmorphism, minimalism, dark mode |
| typography | Font pairings, Google Fonts | elegant, playful, professional |
| color | Color palettes by product type | saas, ecommerce, healthcare, fintech |
| landing | Page structure, CTA strategies | hero, testimonial, pricing, social-proof |
| chart | Chart types, library recs | trend, comparison, timeline, funnel |
| ux | Best practices, anti-patterns | animation, accessibility, z-index |
| react | React/Next.js performance | waterfall, bundle, suspense, memo |
| web | Web interface guidelines | aria, focus, keyboard, semantic |
| prompt | AI prompts, CSS keywords | (style name) |
Stacks
| Stack | Focus |
|-------|-------|
| html-tailwind | Tailwind utilities, responsive, a11y (DEFAULT) |
| react | State, hooks, performance, patterns |
| nextjs | SSR, routing, images, API routes |
| vue | Composition API, Pinia, Vue Router |
| svelte | Runes, stores, SvelteKit |
| swiftui | Views, State, Navigation, Animation |
| react-native | Components, Navigation, Lists |
| flutter | Widgets, State, Layout, Theming |
| shadcn | shadcn/ui components, theming, forms |
| jetpack-compose | Composables, Modifiers, State Hoisting |
Output Formats
# ASCII box (default) β best for terminal display
python3 scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-systemMarkdown β best for documentation
python3 scripts/search.py "fintech crypto" --design-system -f markdown
Example Workflow
User request: "Build a landing page for a professional skincare service"
Step 1 β Analyze: Beauty/Spa service, elegant/professional, html-tailwind default.
Step 2 β Design system:
python3 scripts/search.py "beauty spa wellness service elegant" --design-system -p "Serenity Spa"
Step 3 β Supplement:
python3 scripts/search.py "animation accessibility" --domain ux
python3 scripts/search.py "elegant luxury serif" --domain typography
Step 4 β Stack:
python3 scripts/search.py "layout responsive form" --stack html-tailwind
Then synthesize design system + detailed searches and implement.
Search Tips
1. Be specific β "healthcare SaaS dashboard" beats "app" 2. Search multiple times β Different keywords reveal different insights 3. Combine domains β Style + Typography + Color = complete system 4. Always check UX β Search "animation", "z-index", "accessibility" for common issues 5. Use the stack flag β Get implementation-specific best practices 6. Iterate β If first search misses, try different keywords
Common Rules for Professional UI
Icons & Visual Elements
| Rule | Do | Don't | |------|-----|-------| | No emoji icons | Use SVG icons (Heroicons, Lucide, Simple Icons) | Use emojis as UI icons | | Stable hover states | Use color/opacity transitions | Use scale transforms that shift layout | | Correct brand logos | Research official SVG from Simple Icons | Guess or use incorrect logo paths | | Consistent icon sizing | Fixed viewBox (24x24) with w-6 h-6 | Mix different icon sizes |
Interaction & Cursor
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|------|-----|-------|
| Cursor pointer | cursor-pointer on all clickable elements | Leave default cursor on interactive elements |
| Hover feedback | Visual feedback (color, shadow, border) | No indication element is interactive |
| Smooth transitions | transition-colors duration-200 | Instant changes or >500ms |
Light/Dark Mode Contrast
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|------|-----|-------|
| Glass card (light) | bg-white/80 or higher opacity | bg-white/10 (too transparent) |
| Text contrast (light) | #0F172A (slate-900) for text | #94A3B8 (slate-400) for body text |
| Muted text (light) | #475569 (slate-600) minimum | gray-400 or lighter |
| Border visibility | border-gray-200 in light mode | border-white/10 (invisible) |
Layout & Spacing
| Rule | Do | Don't |
|------|-----|-------|
| Floating navbar | top-4 left-4 right-4 spacing | Stick to top-0 left-0 right-0 |
| Content padding | Account for fixed navbar height | Let content hide behind fixed elements |
| Consistent max-width | Same max-w-6xl or max-w-7xl | Mix different container widths |
