Add taste to my design
Coding-agent prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex: infer the brief, set variance/motion/density dials, and lock one non-generic direction.
Build a brand kit
Chat-first brand kit prompt for ChatGPT or Claude (also works in Cursor): positioning, logo system, palette, type, imagery, and a presentation-ready guidelines outline.
Design Apple-style UI
Coding-agent prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex: fluid gesture UI, springs, interruptible motion, materials, depth, and web implementation notes.
Grill my design
Chat or agent grill-me prompt: relentless one-at-a-time design questions with a recommended answer until decisions are resolved.
How to install an agent skill in Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex
Install a SKILL.md once so Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or VS Code Copilot can apply the same rules on matching work. Paths, npx, and what to check when it does not show up.
Polish frontend UI
Coding-agent prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex: fix AI-slop UI with a bold direction, type, color, layout, motion, and a concrete polish plan.
Polish UI motion
Coding-agent prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex: purposeful enter/exit, springs, hover/focus craft, and an anti-slop motion audit.
Polish UI that doesn't look AI-made
Lock taste, strip AI-slop, polish motion, and write DESIGN.md so Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex keep the bar.
Unslop my UI
Coding-agent prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex: strip AI-slop tells from a UI and ship a concrete anti-slop rewrite plan.
Answer security questionnaires
Copy-paste security questionnaire prompt that drafts clear answers from your real architecture and policies.
App Store Screenshots
Create App Store and Google Play screenshots and preview videos with platform specs, gallery ordering, device mockups, and ASO-ready listing assets.
CLAUDE.md Improver
Audit and improve CLAUDE.md files across a repo: scan all project memory files, score against quality templates, report gaps, then apply targeted updates with approval.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI UX Playground?
AI UX Playground is a free reference for people who design AI products. It catalogs 150+ interface patterns with live demos, 3 versioned UX frameworks, 45 product teardowns with screenshot walkthroughs, 217 copy-paste prompts, 165 agent skills (SKILL.md), 18 multi-step workflows, and a curated Playground of 65 projects. The site is built for product designers, PMs, and engineers shipping chat, agents, and multimodal AI.
How is this different from a general UI pattern library?
General UI libraries cover buttons, forms, and navigation for static apps. AI UX Playground focuses on problems that appear when models stream, act autonomously, need trust signals, handle tools, or work across voice and ambient surfaces. Patterns are tagged by product examples (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others) and grouped for agentic, chat, trust, and commerce workflows, not generic web chrome.
What is the difference between Patterns and Teardowns?
Patterns are documented UX solutions with definitions, when-to-use guidance, anti-patterns, and interactive demos you can study in the browser. Teardowns (45 live guides) are job-first, screenshot-backed walkthroughs of how shipped AI products solve specific design problems in production, useful for benchmarking before you pick a pattern to spec.
What are Frameworks on this site?
Frameworks are deep, versioned references, not just filters on the pattern grid. The live catalog includes 3 frameworks (for example Agentic UX with 36 patterns across seven territories, and Chat UX for composer and turn-taking). Each framework names territories, guiding questions, anti-patterns, and links into related catalog patterns.
How do Prompts, Skills, and Workflows differ?
Prompts (217) are single copy-paste instructions for design tasks. Skills (165) are full SKILL.md files for Cursor, Claude Code, and similar agents, workflow rules teams install in their repo. Workflows (18) chain prompts across a goal (research, design systems, career, and more) with timing and deliverables. Use prompts for one-offs, skills for repeatable agent behavior, workflows for end-to-end process.
Do pattern pages include working demos?
Yes. Most pattern detail pages embed a live UI demo in the same view as the write-up. There is no separate demos section. Open a pattern from the catalog to see the interaction, states, and notes together. Demos are for learning and reference, not production drop-in code.
Who maintains AI UX Playground and is it free to use?
AI UX Playground is an editorial catalog curated for the design community by Bestfolios.com. Browsing patterns, frameworks, teardowns, prompts, and skills is free.
