ux-compare is a skill for Claude Code from jezweb/claude-skills. It costs 114 tokens per session (2,021 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for comparing user-interface patterns across two or more reference applications using existing pattern-library documents. It identifies shared conventions, meaningful differences, unique choices, and missing patterns.

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-compare 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 1mo ago.

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 — 176 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UX Compare

Read N pattern libraries produced by ux-extract and synthesise a comparison. Answers questions like:

  • "Across claude.ai, Linear, Notion, Vercel, and Superhuman — how are empty states handled?"
  • "Which apps use keyboard shortcuts, and what's the shared vocabulary?"
  • "When we build our billing page, should we follow convention or deliberately break it?"

A single extract is a reference point. Multiple extracts are a design library. A comparison is a decision aid — it turns the library into "here's what to do and why".

When to use

  • Before a build — comparing 3–5 references for the feature class you're about to build reveals the convention and the tradeoffs
  • During a design review — "this pattern isn't in any of the 5 references we've extracted — is that deliberate?"
  • For team alignment — shared reference for a design decision
  • To produce a design brief — convergent patterns become the baseline; divergent patterns become the discussion

Inputs

Available libraries

First, discover what's available. Pattern libraries live at:

  • docs/ux-extracts/<app-name>/pattern-library.md
  • .jez/artifacts/ux-extracts/<app-name>/pattern-library.md

List everything you find. Show the user the inventory with the extraction date for each so they can spot stale ones:

Available pattern libraries:
- claude.ai      (extracted 2026-03-12)
- linear.app     (extracted 2026-02-28)
- notion.so      (extracted 2026-01-15) ← 3 months old
- superhuman     (extracted 2026-03-20)

If only one library exists, stop and suggest running ux-extract on more apps first. A one-library "comparison" is just the library.

Scope / focus

Ask the user what to compare — or infer from their request:

  • Whole library — compare every category across every library (verbose but comprehensive)
  • One category — just empty states, just keyboard, just modals (tighter, more useful for specific decisions)
  • A feature area — "how do these apps handle settings", crosses multiple categories but stays focused
  • A specific question — "which apps support offline?" — searches Notable Absences sections too

What ships with it

1 file 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.
