What it does

Mcaf UI UX is an agent skill from managedcode/Storage. Use UI/UX engineering guidance for design systems, accessibility, front-end technology selection, and design-to-development collaboration. Use when bootstrapping a UI project, choosing front-end stack, or tightening design and accessibility practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/recommended-technologies.md` and `references/ui-ux.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires repository access when UI docs, component guidance, or design system rules live in the repo.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design, Design systems and Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Storage library provides a universal interface for accessing and manipulating data in different cloud blob storage providers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Bootstrapping a UI project
  • Choosing front-end stack
  • Tightening design and accessibility practices

Example prompts

  • “/mcaf-ui-ux”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires repository access when UI docs, component guidance, or design system rules live in the repo.

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d32121. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires repository access when UI docs, component guidance, or design system rules live in the repo.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Mcaf UI UX loads about 888 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~888
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

MCAF: UI/UX

Trigger On

  • bootstrapping a UI project
  • choosing front-end stack or design-system direction
  • tightening accessibility or design-to-development collaboration

Value

  • produce a concrete project delta: code, docs, config, tests, CI, or review artifact
  • reduce ambiguity through explicit planning, verification, and final validation skills
  • leave reusable project context so future tasks are faster and safer

Do Not Use For

  • pure backend or infrastructure work
  • vague visual taste debates with no delivery consequence

Inputs

  • user outcomes, device targets, and accessibility needs
  • design-system constraints and design handoff inputs
  • current front-end stack and delivery constraints

Quick Start

  1. Read the nearest AGENTS.md and confirm scope and constraints.
  2. Run this skill's Workflow through the Ralph Loop until outcomes are acceptable.
  3. Return the Required Result Format with concrete artifacts and verification evidence.

Workflow

  1. Start from user outcomes and accessibility needs, not framework preference.
  2. Tie design choices to implementation and delivery constraints.
  3. Pull only the references that match the active UI decision.

Deliver

  • better UI/UX delivery guidance
  • clearer front-end technology and accessibility decisions
  • design-system-aware development notes

Validate

  • accessibility is treated as a first-class requirement
  • technology choices serve the product and team constraints
  • design handoff guidance is actionable for engineers

Ralph Loop

Use the Ralph Loop for every task, including docs, architecture, testing, and tooling work.

  1. Plan first (mandatory):
    • analyze current state
    • define target outcome, constraints, and risks
    • write a detailed execution plan
    • list final validation skills to run at the end, with order and reason
  2. Execute one planned step and produce a concrete delta.
  3. Review the result and capture findings with actionable next fixes.
  4. Apply fixes in small batches and rerun the relevant checks or review steps.
  5. Update the plan after each iteration.
  6. Repeat until outcomes are acceptable or only explicit exceptions remain.
  7. If a dependency is missing, bootstrap it or return status: not_applicable with explicit reason and fallback path.
Required Result Format
  • status: complete | clean | improved | configured | not_applicable | blocked
  • plan: concise plan and current iteration step
  • actions_taken: concrete changes made
  • validation_skills: final skills run, or skipped with reasons
  • verification: commands, checks, or review evidence summary
  • remaining: top unresolved items or none

For setup-only requests with no execution, return status: configured and exact next commands.

Load References

  • read references/ui-ux.md first
  • open references/recommended-technologies.md when the active question is front-end stack or tech selection

Example Requests

  • "Choose the right frontend direction for this product."
  • "Tighten accessibility and design handoff rules."
  • "Document UI engineering guidance for this repo."
