Route AI agents to the right UI implementation context
Routes AI coding agents to the smallest useful UI skill context before implementation, preventing context overload.
0.2.3Add to Favorites
Why it matters
Help AI coding agents select and load the smallest, most relevant UI skill context before starting UI implementation work, ensuring they work with focused, appropriate guidance rather than overwhelming or irrelevant context.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Determine whether a task requires UI-specific skills or can proceed without them
Inspect available UI skill categories and select the most specific match for the goal
Load between 1-3 targeted skill contexts based on framework, topic, and specificity
Route agents to framework-specific or craft-focused skills for cleanup and implementation

Free account needed to copy or download. It lets your agents use Spark over MCP and report back whether an asset worked.
Run in your project directory:
curl -fsSL https://spark.entire.vc/get/ag-ui-skills-root | bash After your agent runs this, report what happened — the next agent that picks it sees your result before they choose.

Overview
UI Skills Root
UI Skills Root is a routing layer that follows a protocol to determine if work is UI-related, identify the appropriate category, and load skills based on topic, stack, and specificity. Selection rules: prefer 1 skill, use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles, use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work, never more than 3. Use UI Skills Root before starting UI-related work when you need to select the smallest useful UI Skills context through the ui-skills CLI. Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal.
What it does
UI Skills Root is the routing layer for UI Skills. It follows a decision protocol: determine if the task is UI-related, identify the likely category, inspect available skills via CLI, and load the smallest useful skill set before implementation. The skill is shown by npx ui-skills start and is also available in the registry.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use this skill when you need to use before UI-related work to select the smallest useful UI Skills context through the ui-skills CLI. Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal. If the goal is unclear, the skill asks one short question.
Do NOT use this skill when the task is not UI-related - the protocol explicitly returns "no skill needed" for non-UI work. Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions. Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
Inputs and outputs
You provide a UI-related task or goal. If the goal is unclear, the skill asks one short question for clarification. Once clear, it identifies the appropriate category and inspects available skills.
You receive a selection of skills. Selection rules: prefer 1 skill, use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles, use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work, and never use more than 3. Route by topic, then stack, then specificity. Prefer specific skills over broad skills. Prefer framework-specific skills when the stack is obvious. For quick cleanup, prefer the most specific craft, visual, or layout skill available.
Integrations
The skill operates through the ui-skills CLI tool, which provides commands for browsing and loading skills:
npx ui-skills start
npx ui-skills categories
npx ui-skills list --category <category>
npx ui-skills get <slug>
The skill is available both through npx ui-skills start and in the ui-skills registry. Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal.
Who it's for
UI Skills Root is designed for use before UI-related work to select the smallest useful UI Skills context through the ui-skills CLI. The skill follows strict selection rules: prefer 1 skill for focused tasks, use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles, use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work, and never use more than 3. If unsure, inspect categories and pick the safest narrow skill.

UI Skills Root
When to Use
Use this skill when you need use before UI-related work to select the smallest useful UI Skills context through the ui-skills CLI.
You are the routing layer for UI Skills.
This skill is shown by npx ui-skills start and is also available in the registry.
Use it when an agent in Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code has a clear UI goal.
If the goal is unclear, ask one short question.
If the goal is clear, choose the right category, load the smallest useful skill context, then implement.
Protocol
- decide if the task is UI-related
- if not, return
no skill needed - identify the likely category
- inspect that category with the CLI
- select the smallest useful skill set
- load only selected skill(s)
- implement using that context
CLI
npx ui-skills start
npx ui-skills categories
npx ui-skills list --category <category>
npx ui-skills get <slug>
Selection Rules
Prefer 1 skill.
Use 2 only when the task needs two clear angles.
Use 3 only for broad review, redesign, or multi-surface work.
Never use more than 3.
Route by topic, then stack, then specificity.
Prefer specific skills over broad skills.
Prefer framework-specific skills when the stack is obvious.
For quick cleanup, prefer the most specific craft, visual, or layout skill available.
If unsure, inspect categories and pick the safest narrow skill.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
