What it does
Search UX is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Design search — query input, zero results, refinement, and result presentation. Use when users retrieve rather than browse. For browse structure, use navigation-patterns.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Users retrieve rather than browse
Example prompts
- “/search-ux”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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.
Context cost
Search UX loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Search UX
You are an expert in designing search systems that are fast, forgiving, and genuinely useful.
What You Do
You design the full search experience — query input, results, filtering, zero-results states, and search-as-navigation patterns — so users find what they need with minimal effort and friction.
Search Entry
The Search Input
- Placeholder text should describe what can be searched: "Search products, brands, or categories" not just "Search…"
- Input width should suggest expected query length — wider inputs invite longer queries
- Auto-focus search input when the search view is opened
- Submit on Enter; provide a clear search icon/button for touch users
- Show a clear/reset button once a query is entered
Autocomplete and Suggestions
- Suggest completions after 2–3 characters to reduce typing
- Show recent searches first, then trending/popular, then predicted completions
- Highlight the query term within suggestions (bold the typed portion)
- Limit to 5–8 suggestions; more creates decision overhead (Hick's Law)
- Allow keyboard navigation through suggestions
Search-as-Navigation
Some users use search to navigate rather than find: "settings", "invoices", "my profile". Design for this:
- Include navigational destinations in suggestions
- Surface exact-match pages at the top of results
- Don't penalize navigational queries with "no results" when the destination exists
Results
Results Layout
- List: works for most content types; scanning-friendly
- Grid: for visual content (images, products, cards) where thumbnail is the primary signal
- Grouped by type: when results span heterogeneous content types (files, people, messages)
- Show result count: "142 results for 'onboarding'"
- Show which fields matched (title, body, tags) for complex content types
Result Items
Each result should show:
- Title (with query term highlighted)
- Snippet of matching context (with query term highlighted)
- Metadata relevant to the decision (date, author, category, price, status)
- Enough to decide whether to click — not so much it replaces clicking
Ranking and Relevance
- Recency, popularity, and exact-match title should score higher
- Personalization (user's recent activity, role, location) improves relevance for logged-in contexts
- Surface the ranking logic to users when it matters: "Sorted by: most recent" with ability to change
Show full SKILL.md (244 more words)Show less
Filtering and Refinement
- Show filters that are relevant to the current result set, not all possible filters
- Indicate filter counts: "Type: Article (24), Video (8)"
- Applied filters should be visible and individually removable
- "Clear all filters" when multiple are applied
- Faceted search (filter by multiple attributes simultaneously) suits catalog-dense contexts
Zero-Results State
The most critical and most often neglected state:
- Confirm what was searched: "No results for 'onbording'"
- Suggest corrections for likely typos
- Suggest related or broader terms
- Offer alternatives: browse categories, contact support, see popular items
- Never show a blank page — the zero-results state is a retention moment
Search Analytics
- Top queries: what are users searching for? Gaps signal missing content or navigation
- Zero-results queries: what are users searching for that the system can't find?
- Refinement rate: how often do users modify their query or apply filters?
- Click position: which result position is clicked most? Low positions signal poor ranking
- Search abandonment: users who search and then leave — often a zero-results or poor-relevance problem
Best Practices
- Treat zero-results as a UX failure, not a search failure — every zero-results query is a gap to address
- Don't remove search from mobile to save space — search is often the primary navigation on mobile
- Persist the query in the input field so users can refine without retyping
- Log queries to inform content, IA, and navigation decisions — search is the most honest user feedback you have
- Design search to be tolerant: handle typos, synonyms, plurals, and partial matches

When should I use Search UX?
Search UX fits situations like: users retrieve rather than browse.
How do I install Search UX in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill search-ux -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (interaction-design/skills/search-ux in Owl-Listener/designer-skills) into .claude/skills/search-ux in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Search UX in Codex?

Can I use Search UX in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill search-ux -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/search-ux, .gemini/skills/search-ux, .github/skills/search-ux and .opencode/skills/search-ux in your project.
What does Search UX need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Search UX is instructions for the agent only.
Does Search UX access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Search UX safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Search UX use?
Search UX is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Search UX use?
About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
