What this skill does


# UI Verification Skill

*Load with: ui-web.md or ui-mobile.md*

## Purpose

Quick verification that generated UI meets accessibility standards. Run these checks after creating any new UI components.

---

## Pre-Flight Checklist

### Before Shipping ANY UI:

```markdown
## Visibility Check
- [ ] All buttons have visible background OR border
- [ ] No text is same color as its background
- [ ] All text meets 4.5:1 contrast ratio
- [ ] Ghost/text buttons have visible borders

## Touch/Click Targets
- [ ] All buttons are minimum 44px height
- [ ] Icon buttons are minimum 44x44px
- [ ] Adequate spacing between clickable elements

## States
- [ ] Hover states visible (web)
- [ ] Pressed states visible (mobile)
- [ ] Focus rings on keyboard navigation
- [ ] Disabled states visually distinct (opacity 0.5)
- [ ] Loading states show indicators

## Dark Mode (if applicable)
- [ ] Text readable on dark backgrounds
- [ ] Borders visible in dark mode
- [ ] No gray-400 text on dark backgrounds

## Responsive (web)
- [ ] No horizontal scroll on mobile (320px)
- [ ] Content readable at all breakpoints
- [ ] Touch targets adequate on mobile
```

## Quick Contrast Check

### Use Browser DevTools
```
1. Right-click element → Inspect
2. In Styles panel, click on color value
3. Look for contrast ratio display
4. Must show ✓ for AA compliance (4.5:1 for text)
```

### Tailwind Safe Combinations

```
LIGHT MODE (on white bg):
✓ text-gray-900  (#111827) = 16:1
✓ text-gray-800  (#1F2937) = 12:1
✓ text-gray-700  (#374151) = 9:1
✓ text-gray-600  (#4B5563) = 6:1
✗ text-gray-500  (#6B7280) = 4.6:1 (barely)
✗ text-gray-400  (#9CA3AF) = 2.6:1 (FAILS)

DARK MODE (on gray-900 bg):
✓ text-white     (#FFFFFF) = 16:1
✓ text-gray-100  (#F3F4F6) = 13:1
✓ text-gray-200  (#E5E7EB) = 11:1
✓ text-gray-300  (#D1D5DB) = 8:1
✗ text-gray-400  (#9CA3AF) = 5:1 (barely)
✗ text-gray-500  (#6B7280) = 3:1 (FAILS)
```

## Common Fixes

### Invisible Button
```tsx
// PROBLEM: No visible boundary
<button className="text-gray-500">Click</button>

// FIX: Add background OR border
<button className="bg-gray-100 text-gray-900 px-4 py-3 rounded-lg">
  Click
</button>
// OR
<button className="border border-gray-300 text-gray-700 px-4 py-3 rounded-lg">
  Click
</button>
```

### Low Contrast Text
```tsx
// PROBLEM: Light gray on white
<p className="text-gray-400">Secondary text</p>

// FIX: Use darker gray
<p className="text-gray-600">Secondary text</p>
```

### Missing Focus State
```tsx
// PROBLEM: Focus removed without replacement
<button className="outline-none">Submit</button>

// FIX: Add visible focus ring
<button className="outline-none focus-visible:ring-2 focus-visible:ring-blue-500 focus-visible:ring-offset-2">
  Submit
</button>
```

### Small Touch Target
```tsx
// PROBLEM: Too small for fingers
<button className="p-1 text-sm">×</button>

// FIX: Minimum 44px
<button className="w-11 h-11 flex items-center justify-center">×</button>
```

### Dark Mode Broken
```tsx
// PROBLEM: Same colors in both modes
<p className="text-gray-400">Text</p>

// FIX: Adjust for dark mode
<p className="text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-300">Text</p>
```

## Automated Checks (Optional)

### ESLint Plugin
```bash
npm install -D eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y
```

```json
// .eslintrc
{
  "extends": ["plugin:jsx-a11y/recommended"]
}
```

### Playwright Quick Test
```typescript
// e2e/accessibility.spec.ts
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
import AxeBuilder from '@axe-core/playwright';

test('no accessibility violations', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/');
  const results = await new AxeBuilder({ page }).analyze();
  expect(results.violations).toEqual([]);
});
```

## When to Use Full Testing

Add comprehensive visual testing (Playwright screenshots, Storybook) when:
- Building a component library
- Multiple developers on UI
- Frequent UI changes
- Design system enforcement needed

For solo projects or MVPs, the checklist above is sufficient.

contribute

Included

Local-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".

architectural-analysis

Included

User-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).

Designscripts

react-native-skia

Included

Design, build, debug, and optimise high-polish animated graphics in React Native or Expo using @shopify/react-native-skia, Reanimated, and Gesture Handler. Use when the user wants canvas-driven UI, shaders, paths, rich text, image filters, sprite fields, Skottie, video frames, snapshots, web CanvasKit setup, or performance tuning for custom motion-heavy elements such as loaders, hero art, cards, charts, progress indicators, particle systems, or gesture-driven surfaces. Also use when the user asks for fluid, glow, glass, blob, parallax, 60fps/120fps, or GPU-friendly animated effects in React Native, even if they do not explicitly say "Skia". Do not use for ordinary form/layout work with standard views.

plaid

Included

Product Led AI Development — guides founders from idea to launched product. Six capabilities: Idea (discover a product idea), Validate (pressure-test the idea against fatal flaws, problem reality, competition, and 2-week MVP feasibility), Plan (vision intake + document generation), Design (translate image references into a design.md spec), Launch (go-to-market strategy), and Build (roadmap execution). Use when someone says "PLAID", "plaid idea", "help me find an idea", "product idea", "idea from my business", "idea from my expertise", "plaid validate", "validate my idea", "pressure-test", "is this idea good", "find fatal flaws", "validate the problem", "plan a product", "define my vision", "generate a PRD", "product strategy", "plaid design", "design from image", "translate image to design", "create design.md", "extract design tokens", "plaid launch", "go-to-market", "launch plan", "GTM strategy", "launch playbook", "plaid build", "build the app", "start building", or "execute the roadmap".

nextjs-framer-motion-animations

Included

Adds production-safe Motion for React or Framer Motion animations to Next.js apps, including reveal, hover and tap micro-interactions, whileInView, stagger, AnimatePresence, layout and layoutId transitions, reorder, scroll-linked UI, and lightweight route-content transitions. Use when the user asks to add, refactor, or debug Motion or Framer Motion in App Router or Pages Router codebases, especially around server/client boundaries, reduced motion, LazyMotion, bundle size, hydration, or route transitions. Avoid for GSAP-style timelines, WebGL or 3D scenes, heavy scroll storytelling, or CSS-only effects unless Motion is explicitly requested.
