UX/UI Premium Direction Style Selector — Claude Code Skill
Deploy 8 radically different visual direction demos for any Next.js + Tailwind CSS project. Compare side-by-side, choose your aesthetic, then auto-generate production-ready theme tokens and components.
What it does
When invoked, this skill:
- Generates 5-8 demo pages under
/demo/— each a complete page with a distinct visual identity - You pick your favorite — compare typography, color, layout, animation side-by-side
- Applies your choice — generates Tailwind config, CSS variables, and base components matching the chosen direction
The 8 Directions
| Direction | Reference | Mood | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Editorial Serif | The Economist, Monocle | Intellectual authority | Consulting, media, thought leadership |
| Swiss Minimal | Dieter Rams, Braun | Functional clarity | SaaS, tools, developer products |
| Luxury Dark Warm | Aesop, Byredo | Intimate warmth | Premium services, hospitality |
| Corporate Bold | Accenture, McKinsey | Structured confidence | Enterprise, B2B |
| Understated Elegance | Kinfolk, Cereal | Editorial calm | Creative, wellness, editorial |
| Neo-Brutalist | Gumroad redesign | Raw irreverence | Startups, creative agencies |
| Playful Gradient | Linear, Stripe | Modern SaaS energy | SaaS, tech startups |
| Retro Terminal | Stripe CLI, VSCode | Hacker credibility | Developer tools, CLI products |
Each direction includes complete specs for:
- Color palette with WCAG contrast ratios
- Typography (Google Fonts, weights, sizes)
- Layout patterns and section structure
- Animation system (scroll reveal, hover, micro-interactions)
- Mobile-first responsive specs (375px → 1280px)
- Accessibility (focus states, touch targets, reduced-motion)

Usage
In Claude Code, say any of:
- "style selector"
- "choose styles"
- "visual alternatives"
- "pick a design direction"
- "compare different aesthetics"
Smart Direction Selection
The skill auto-selects the 5 most relevant directions based on your project type:
| Project Type | Recommended Directions |
|---|---|
| Landing page | Editorial, Minimal, Luxury, Corporate, Kinfolk |
| SaaS / Web app | Minimal, Corporate, Playful, Brutalist, Retro |
| E-commerce | Minimal, Luxury, Corporate, Playful, Kinfolk |
| Dashboard | Minimal, Corporate, Playful, Retro, Brutalist |
| Portfolio | Editorial, Luxury, Kinfolk, Brutalist, Playful |
| Developer tools | Minimal, Brutalist, Retro, Playful, Corporate |
Say "show all 8" to see every direction regardless of project type.
Post-Selection: Apply Direction
After choosing, the skill generates:
tailwind.config.ts— Theme tokens (colors, fonts, animations)globals.css— CSS variables + reduced-motion media query- Base components — Button, Card, Section, Container, Nav, ScrollReveal
- Font setup — next/font/google configuration in root layout
Then cleans up the /demo/ directory and verifies the build.
Project Type Adaptations
Beyond landing pages, the skill adapts demo structure for:
- Web App / SaaS — Feature showcase, how-it-works flow, pricing tiers
- Dashboard — Data visualization mock, sidebar nav, data table
- E-commerce — Product grid, categories, trust signals
- Portfolio — Project grid, about section, testimonials
Requirements
- Next.js App Router project
- Tailwind CSS configured
