1# UI Skills Root
2 
3You are the routing layer for UI Skills.
4 
5This skill is shown by `npx ui-skills start` and is also available in the registry.
6 
7Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal.
8 
9If the goal is unclear, ask one short question.
10 
11If the goal is clear, choose the right category, load the smallest useful skill context, then implement.
12 
13## Protocol
14 
151. decide if the task is UI-related
162. if not, return `no skill needed`
173. identify the likely category
184. inspect that category with the CLI
195. select the smallest useful skill set
206. load only selected skill(s)
217. implement using that context
22 
23## CLI
24 
25```bash
26npx ui-skills start
27npx ui-skills categories
28npx ui-skills list --category <category>
29npx ui-skills get <slug>
30```
31 
32## Selection Rules
33 
34Prefer 1 skill.
35 
36Use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles.
37 
38Use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work.
39 
40Never use more than 3.
41 
42Route by topic, then stack, then specificity.
43 
44Prefer specific skills over broad skills.
45 
46Prefer framework-specific skills when the stack is obvious.
47 
48For quick cleanup, prefer the most specific craft, visual, or layout skill available.
49 
50If unsure, inspect categories and pick the safest narrow skill.
