What it does

Uxui Principles is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Evaluate interfaces against 168 research-backed UX/UI principles, detect antipatterns, and inject UX context into AI coding sessions.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/uxui-principles”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Install any skill from the collection
  2. Describe the interface, screen, or flow you want to evaluate
  3. The skill evaluates against the relevant principles and returns structured findings with severity levels and remediation steps
  4. Optionally connect to the uxuiprinciples.com API for enriched output with full citations

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Uxui Principles loads about 548 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~548

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.

UX/UI Principles

A collection of 5 agent skills for evaluating interfaces against 168 research-backed UX/UI principles, detecting antipatterns, and injecting UX context into AI-assisted design and coding sessions.

Source: https://github.com/uxuiprinciples/agent-skills

Skills

SkillPurpose
uxui-evaluatorEvaluate interface descriptions against 168 research-backed principles
interface-auditorDetect UX antipatterns using the uxuiprinciples smell taxonomy
ai-interface-reviewerAudit AI-powered interfaces against 44 AI-era UX principles
flow-checkerCheck user flows against decision, error, and feedback principles
vibe-coding-advisorInject UX context into vibe coding sessions before implementation

When to Use

  • Auditing an existing interface for UX issues
  • Checking if a UI follows research-backed best practices
  • Detecting antipatterns and UX smells in designs
  • Reviewing AI-powered interfaces for trust, transparency, and safety
  • Getting UX guidance before or during implementation

How It Works

  1. Install any skill from the collection
  2. Describe the interface, screen, or flow you want to evaluate
  3. The skill evaluates against the relevant principles and returns structured findings with severity levels and remediation steps
  4. Optionally connect to the uxuiprinciples.com API for enriched output with full citations

Install

npx skills add uxuiprinciples/agent-skills

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
