Competitive Positioning
UXCraft combines what every competitor does best into one opt-in, daemon-free, cross-agent skill:
- Discovery-first — no visuals until brief is locked (beats generic prompt packs)
- Industry reasoning engine — instant Design System Block per product type (matches
ui-ux-pro-max-skill) - 11-step OKLch color scales — architectural palette system (matches
saifyxpro) - Code-level audit AI001–AI030 — catches Tailwind bugs, missing a11y, React anti-patterns (matches
saifyxpro) - 16-framework tech stack rules — component patterns per framework (matches
saifyxpro) - Quality gates — 5-dimensional self-critique + anti-slop blacklist (inspired by
open-design) - Full lifecycle — research → IA → UI → accessibility → dev handoff (beats all narrow skills)
- Project memory —
.ui-ux-memory.mdpersists brand/design across sessions
