A more useful starting point

First I want you to think of a few categories of your UX knowledge…how you would read a project brief, begin to craft user research, perform some competitive analysis, prototype, check for accessibility – well, you get it. Outline your process in your mind. Now remind yourself that most of what you have been working with regarding AI are LLMs…Large Language Models. They have retained what they have scraped from the internet and a billion books, but what good is that to you?

Teach AI how you work

Getting the most for your tokens out of AI, by sharing your UX work methods with it to obtain optimal results. This is more regarding automation, and how your can teach AI some of what you know about UX, to then get back out of it a valuable result.

Get the repository and try the examples

For those of you who are Github savvy, the repository is ux-skills-main repository. You can browse the code and read the plain text commands to see how things are structured. Code is under the MIT license, so feel free to fork it, use it or just browse for ideas. As far as usage, let me give you some examples:

1. Run a research discovery cycle type /design-research:discover then tell Claude: I’m designing a habit-tracking app for people recovering from burnout. Run a full discovery cycle – personas, empathy map, and journey map.
2. Generate an accessible color palette type /ui-design:color-palette: then tell Claude: Create a color system for a health and wellness brand. I need primary, secondary, neutral, and semantic colors, all passing WCAG AA standards.
3. Build a developer handoff package type /design-ops:handoff: then tell Claude: Generate a handoff spec for a settings page with a profile section, notification preferences, and a danger zone for account deletion.
4. Run a heuristic evaluation type /prototyping-testing:evaluate: then tell Claude: Run a heuristic evaluation of a checkout flow with these steps: cart review, shipping address, payment, and confirmation. Flag usability issues by severity.
5. Write a case study for your portfolio type /designer-toolkit: write-case-study: then tell Claude: Help me write a portfolio case study. The project was a redesign of an internal dashboard for a logistics company. We reduced task completion time by 45%. Walk me through the full structure.

Each one gives you something tangible in a few minutes: a full persona set, a production-ready color system or a handoff doc that engineers can actually use.
