Ran it against a deliberately messy Tailwind card component: the skill caught 8 rule-cited violations (purple gradient, h-screen, missing aria-label on an icon button, a 400ms width/height transition, blocked paste, unjustified tracking-widest, no AlertDialog on a destructive action) each with an exact fix, versus a generic review that only flagged 4 of them vaguely.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Baseline UI does
A rule list (not a script) that enforces Tailwind CSS + motion/react conventions: animation duration caps, compositor-only animation props, accessible primitives, aria-labels on icon buttons, AlertDialog for destructive actions, and banned patterns like gradients, h-screen, and blocked paste. Triggers when building or reviewing React/Tailwind UI components.
How to install Baseline UI
git clone https://github.com/master5d/claude-design-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r claude-design-skills/skills/baseline-ui ~/.claude/skills/baseline-ui
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Baseline UI
-
/baseline-uiOpinionated Tailwind/React MUST-NEVER checklist against AI-generated UI slop.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Review this React component against our Tailwind must-never rules -
Check this UI for banned gradients, missing aria-labels, and h-screen -
Does this destructive delete button need an AlertDialog confirmation?
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Baseline UI skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from master5d/claude-design-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Baseline UI work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Ran it against a deliberately messy Tailwind card component: the skill caught 8 rule-cited violations (purple gradient, h-screen, missing aria-label on an icon button, a 400ms width/height transition, blocked paste, unjustified tracking-widest, no AlertDialog on a destructive action) each with an exact fix, versus a generic review that only flagged 4 of them vaguely.
- What is the Baseline UI SkillProof Score?
- 9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Baseline UI?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Baseline UI with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
