ux-design-from-scratch

ux-design-from-scratch is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 124 tokens per session (1,586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A step-by-step process for creating a user experience from nothing, starting with visual basics and shared interface parts before designing screens and user journeys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new products or broad redesigns that need coordinated colors, typography, spacing, components, screens, and flows.
Why use it?
It prevents building isolated screens without a consistent system and prevents spending time designing parts the product does not need.

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-from-scratch 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 12d 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.

Design From Scratch (UX Creation Orchestrator) Skill

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is the front door for building a new design from zero, and the generative twin of ux-design-review. Where design-review orchestrates the validation direction (generative → audit), this skill orchestrates the compositional direction (generative → generative): it sequences the scope ladder — foundations → components → screens → flows — pulling in each lower-scope skill as the work needs it, then hands the result to design-review for validation.

It is the executable form of the compositional orchestration section of docs/orchestration-policy.md. Its whole job is to avoid two failures: building a single screen with no system underneath it, and over-building everything (all foundations, all 12 components) when the product only needs a few.

When NOT to use this skill: if the user asks for one specific artifact ("design a pricing page", "build a date-picker"), let that skill trigger directly. This orchestrator is for multi-artifact, from-scratch builds. Explicit scope overrides orchestration.


Step 0 — Establish the context profile (once)

The single most important field here is the inverse of the review case:

  • Design system in play? For a true from-scratch build the answer is usually no → the foundation skills are in scope and come first. If the user does have tokens/a styleguide already, skip the foundations and start at components/screens, inheriting their system (the suppression matrix, applied to creation).
  • What's being built — a single screen with its system, a small flow, or a whole product surface? This sets how far down the ladder to go and how many screens/components to compose.
  • Platform — mobile vs. web (changes layout, touch targets, navigation patterns).
  • Brand / audience / industry — drives the gated decisions inside the foundation and screen skills (color emotion, tone, security posture).

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.
