How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 16 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 21
Every interface, whatever the task:
- Distinctive: line 23
Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus state and an accessible name and role.
- Very specific: line 25
Every action produces a visible response.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 16 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
UX Designer Skill
A UX depth library. Read the reference for the task before designing or reviewing; each number and pattern has one home there, so cite the reference rather than restating values from memory.
Lens
Rank every decision by the UX hierarchy of needs: functional, then reliable, usable, convenient, and only then pleasurable.
- Calm over busy. Motion, color and density earn their place by aiding understanding.
- AI as copilot, not autopilot. AI help is optional, labeled, reversible and transparent.
- Responsible adaptation. Adapt to real user needs and context; never manipulate through opaque personalization.
- Judgment over polish. Research, correctness and knowing when not to add something are the value.
Baseline
Every interface, whatever the task:
- Every interactive element is reachable and operable by keyboard, with a visible focus state and an accessible name and role.
- Color never carries information alone; images have text alternatives.
- Every action produces a visible response; motion respects
prefers-reduced-motion. - Errors appear next to their field in plain language.
- Consent is symmetric: equal-prominence accept and reject, nothing pre-checked, cancellation as easy as sign-up, neutral decline copy.
- Strings are externalized and layouts survive translation and
dir="rtl".

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
