ux-design-research

ux-design-research is a skill for Codex from Eliyce/paqad-ai. It costs 16 tokens per session (544 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research process for collecting interface examples and turning them into guidance about navigation, states, feedback, and visual hierarchy.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps investigate interaction patterns for changed screens, components, and major redesigns, while recording relevant constraints and accessibility concerns.
Why use it?
It gives larger UI redesigns a structured basis for decisions instead of relying on mood boards or personal taste.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ux-design-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/lint-output.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

What It Does

Collects external and internal UI references for high-scope interface work, translating them into concrete guidance on flows, states, and interaction patterns rather than mood-board commentary.

Use This When

Use this only for full-lane work that also changes screens, components, or major redesigns. It should not activate for non-UI work or small graduated-lane interface adjustments.

Inputs

  • Read the request, current UI docs, and affected flow or screen inventory first.
  • Read references/research-capture-format.md before gathering examples so findings stay structured.
  • Read the stack-specific browser validation guide that matches the project surface.

Procedure

  1. Define the target interaction, user goal, and constraints before collecting references.
  2. Gather only sources that inform navigation, state handling, feedback, or visual hierarchy for the changed flow.
  3. Summarize each useful reference in terms of the concrete behavior it suggests, not just aesthetics.
  4. Translate findings into project-specific recommendations tied to states, flows, and validation needs.
  5. Call out any internal pattern conflict or accessibility concern revealed by the research.

Output Contract

  • Match assets/output.template.md: ## Research Targets, ## Reference Findings, ## Recommended Directions.
  • Every Reference Finding states Pattern and Why it matters here; never aesthetics-only.
  • Sources must be dated and quoted minimally — no long quotations.
  • Output must pass scripts/lint-output.sh (exit 0).

Escalate / Stop Conditions

  • Ask when the design goal or target user is too vague to choose meaningful references.
  • Warn when research points toward a pattern that conflicts with established product constraints or accessibility needs.
  • Do not present external inspiration as a mandate without mapping it to the project context.

Resources

  • references/research-capture-format.md
  • scripts/lint-output.sh
  • assets/output.template.md
  • runtime/capabilities/coding/stacks/laravel/references/tools/playwright.md
  • agents/openai.yaml

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
