SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When working on UI tasks in AI coding agents like Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code, loading too much context wastes tokens and dilutes focus, while loading too little misses important guidance. This Skill acts as a routing layer that selects the smallest useful UI skill context for a given goal. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Task Routing: Decides whether a task is UI-related and returns "no skill needed" when it is not. - Category Inspection: Uses the ui-skills CLI to list categories and skills, then picks the most specific match by topic, stack, and specificity. - Context Budgeting: Enforces a strict limit of 1-3 skills per task, preferring a single specific skill over broad ones. - Use Case: A developer asks an agent to redesign a dashboard layout. The Skill inspects the relevant category with npx ui-skills list --category <category>, loads one targeted layout skill, and implements the change with only that context. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to handle a UI task, and it will run npx ui-skills categories to pick and load the smallest relevant skill before implementing.

FAQPage Schema
How do I select the right UI skill for a coding agent task?

Run npx ui-skills categories to see available categories, then npx ui-skills list --category <category> to inspect options. Load the chosen skill with npx ui-skills get <slug>, preferring the most specific skill that matches the task.

What is the ui-skills CLI and how do I use it?

The ui-skills CLI is an npx-based tool for browsing and loading UI skill context. Its commands are npx ui-skills start, categories, list --category <category>, and get <slug>, which together support inspecting and loading skills.

Does ui-skills-root work with Cursor and Claude Code?

Yes, the routing skill is designed for agents in Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code. It activates when the agent has a clear UI goal and guides it to load only the relevant skill context before implementing.

How many UI skills should I load for one task?

Prefer one skill, use two only when the task needs two clear angles, and use three only for broad reviews, redesigns, or multi-surface work. Never load more than three skills for a single task.

What happens if my task is not UI-related?

The routing protocol first checks whether the task is UI-related. If it is not, the skill returns "no skill needed" and the agent proceeds without loading any UI skill context.
