How to Use These Tools Together

Each tool covers a different phase of AI-assisted design. Use them in sequence for a complete validation workflow from first prompt to launch.

1

Generate with AI Prompts

Start every design session with a research-backed prompt. The AI Prompts Library maps 600+ prompts to specific UX principles, giving your AI tool a scientific foundation from the first message.

2

Validate the output

After your AI generates a design, run it through the AI Design Validator. Answer 6 questions about your project type and get matched UX principles with audit checklists and academic citations.

3

Check for anti-patterns

Use UX Smells to scan for the 8 most common interface mistakes. Each smell includes symptoms to recognize, a step-by-step refactoring recipe, and ready-to-paste prompts for Cursor or V0.

4

Run the pre-ship checklist

Before you launch, open Flow Checklists. Five flows covered: onboarding, forms, pricing pages, dashboards, and empty states. Each check is linked to specific UX principles.

5

Build deeper understanding

When a validation result references a principle you want to fully understand, go to the Principles Library. All 185 principles include the research basis, real-world examples, and role-specific guidance for designers, developers, and PMs.

Every tool in this system is free. The Principles Library (185 principles, 600+ AI prompts, and 2,300+ references) is available with a Principles Library subscription.
