Followed the recipe for a 'success' sound and got a singleton-AudioContext, ascending-major-third implementation with a working WAV-export HTML preview (verified OfflineAudioContext export code); a naive baseline attempt used a fresh AudioContext per call and a flat single tone with no export path.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What UI Sound Design does
Generates programmatic UI sound effects (clicks, toggles, notifications, success/error tones) using Web Audio API and Tone.js recipes. Triggers when a user asks for click sounds, notification chimes, hover feedback, or a UI sound library, and drives an iterative describe-generate-listen-refine loop via a vocabulary bridge that maps words like 'warmer' or 'snappier' to synthesis parameters.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the UI Sound Design skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from dannyjpwilliams/ui-sound-design-skill. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does UI Sound Design work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 15, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Followed the recipe for a 'success' sound and got a singleton-AudioContext, ascending-major-third implementation with a working WAV-export HTML preview (verified OfflineAudioContext export code); a naive baseline attempt used a fresh AudioContext per call and a flat single tone with no export path.
- What is the UI Sound Design 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 UI Sound Design?
- 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 UI Sound Design 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.
