ux-search

ux-search is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 93 tokens per session (2,377 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-experience guide for designing and reviewing search features, including the search box, suggestions, results, filters, sorting, and recovery from no results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design known-item or exploratory search, auto-suggest, scannable results pages, filtering, sorting, query persistence, and zero-results recovery.
Why use it?
It helps search journeys avoid bare result lists, dead ends, and unnecessary features that do not match how users look for information.

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-search 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 10d 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.

Search Skill

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a generative skill. The default failure modes: a box and nothing more (an input that returns a bare list — no suggestions, no query persistence, no recovery), dead ends ("No results found." period), and feature stacking (rich suggestions + trending + recent + filters + chips everywhere, even where search is a minor utility). Search is a journey — formulate → suggest → results → refine — and which stages need investment depends on how users seek. This skill gates:

  1. Establish how users seek and how central search is — that decides which stages to invest in.
  2. Apply the always-true core — discoverable placement, working input conventions, suggestion basics, a scannable results page, no dead ends.
  3. Surface the context-dependent decisions (rich auto-suggest, filter layout, chips, view options) with trade-offs.

Then it hands off to ux-heuristics-audit, ux-accessibility-audit, ux-aesthetics-audit, and ux-microcopy-audit for validation.


Step 0 — Establish context before designing

Ask if not known; state the assumption if proceeding without an answer:

  • How do users seek here? Known-item (they can name what they want — invest in the input, auto-suggest, re-finding) vs. exploratory/semi-directed (vague needs that evolve — invest in suggestions, related searches, filters, browsing). Re-finding is chronically underserved: recent searches and history pay off everywhere.
  • How central is search? Search-first product (e-commerce, docs, booking) → persistent, prominent search and a rich results page. Search-as-emergency-exit → simpler treatment, but still discoverable.
  • Platform — mobile: persistent search (search-focused apps) vs. expandable icon (search-secondary apps); filters concealed behind a Filter button; comfortable one-handed targets.
  • Result type — products with images vs. documents vs. data rows: drives list-vs-grid and what a result row shows.

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.
