Pick a design skill around the change you need. These five projects cover different parts of interface work; their documentation is the basis for the choices below. [1][2][3][4][5]

## Set the visual rules

UI UX Pro Max documents recommendations for colors, typography and layouts, plus a generated design system that can be saved for later pages. Use that written system to keep subsequent changes consistent. [1]

Hallmark focuses on visual direction and reviewing generated interfaces. Its repository documents installation and agent-specific invocation. For an existing page, follow the [Hallmark audit and redesign guide](/blog/hallmark-audit-redesign-existing-page). [2]

## Work on the interaction

Emil Kowalski's collection includes skills for building, reviewing and removing animations. That last option matters when repeated motion gets in the way. Its README gives this installation command: [3]

```bash
npx skills@latest add emilkowalski/skills
```

Choose the animation review skill when a transition feels wrong; choose the removal skill when the interaction needs less motion. [3]

## Use the component library correctly

The shadcn skill reads project configuration so the assistant can find, install and compose components using the project's setup. Its documentation shows this pnpm installation: [4]

```bash
pnpm dlx skills add shadcn/ui
```

This is useful when the task is a form, dialog or settings panel built with shadcn/ui. [4]

## Review the finished interface

Vercel's `web-design-guidelines` skill reviews interface code for accessibility, focus states, forms, animation, images and other web conventions. [5]

Give the review a specific page and task. Then inspect the rendered result with a keyboard and a narrow viewport. A repository of instructions cannot decide whether your particular layout reads well; keep the changes you can explain and verify.
