Magic UI Generator
Leverage Magic by 21st.dev to build modern, responsive UI components using an AI-native workflow that prioritizes choice and design excellence.
Context
This skill leverages Magic by 21st.dev to build modern, responsive UI components. Instead of generating a single standard solution, it focuses on providing multiple design variations to choose from, drawing inspiration from a curated library of real-world components and premium design patterns (Shadcn UI, Magic UI, Aceternity, etc.).
When to Use
Trigger this skill whenever:
- A new UI component is requested (e.g., pricing tables, contact forms, hero sections).
- Enhancing an existing UI element with animations, better styling, or advanced features.
- Brainstorming different design directions for a specific feature.
- Professional logos or icons are needed (via the built-in SVGL integration).
Execution Workflow
- Analyze Requirements: Review the component description. Ensure the target output aligns with the project's stack (e.g., Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS). Define clear constraints for accessibility and responsiveness.
- Generate Variations: Interface with the Magic MCP server or use the
browser_subagentto explore 21st.dev/magic to generate several distinct, unconventional styles for the requested component.- Pro Tip: Use descriptive prompts pushing for modern aesthetics: "avant-garde SaaS pricing table with glassmorphism and animated borders" or "highly immersive contact form with dynamic floating labels."
- Present Options: Briefly describe the generated variations side-by-side. Highlight stylistic differences, layout approaches, and premium features (sticky headers, hover animations, etc.).
- Integrate Selection: Once a favorite variation is chosen:
- Integrate the fully functional, production-ready TypeScript code.
- Ensure dependencies (
lucide-react,framer-motion) are installed. - Handle proper props, types, and responsive behaviors.
Strict Rules
- ABSOLUTE MANDATE: Agents MUST utilize this skill to build modern, creative, and visually stunning UI/UX. DO NOT build in common, generic, or safe styles. Push boundaries.
- Choice First: Always offer multiple premium design variations before writing the final code to the project.
- Clean Code: Ensure all generated code is clean TypeScript, accessible, and responsive.
- Full Ownership: Treat all generated components as fully owned.
Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
