UI Design Workbench
Русская версия · Changelog · Release guide
Turn repository UI source into an offline interactive HTML workbench—without building or running the application.
UI source → cached UI map → strict UI IR → interactive HTML
Use it to understand unfamiliar UI, inspect screens and navigation, verify a reconstruction, or run an explicit UI/UX review.
Install
Requires Python 3.10+ and pipx.
pipx install ui-design-workbench-cli
uidw install-skill codex
install-skill also supports claude, cursor, gemini, copilot, opencode, agents, and all.
Optional local MCP support:
pipx inject ui-design-workbench-cli "mcp>=2,<3"
Verify the installation:
uidw --version
uidw doctor
Quick start
Choose preview detail once:
uidw --repo <repo> config setup
Build and open the source-derived workbench:
uidw --repo <repo> workbench --output-dir <artifacts> --level full --open
Run a UI/UX audit only when product critique is wanted:
uidw --repo <repo> review --output-dir <review-dir> --level full
workbench and check validate the projection. Only review creates UI/UX findings.
What it provides
- Screen, route, component, token, theme, and state inventory.
- Standalone HTML with source links and reconstructed navigation.
- Incremental scans that reprocess only changed UI files.
- Property-level evidence and explicit unsupported gaps instead of guessed UI.
- Sparse review patches and a separate, authorized source-apply step.
- Structural Android and Apple resource projection, plus discovery of available native capture paths.
Supported source families include Web, React, Vue, Svelte, Jetpack Compose, Android Views XML, SwiftUI, Storyboard/XIB, WinUI/WPF, and Flutter.

Accuracy and safety
- HTML is a static source projection, not proof of runtime or pixel parity.
- Android and Apple translation remains structural until a source-matched native capture exists.
- Unsupported bindings, custom drawing, runtime data, and platform behavior remain explicit gaps.
- Preview and review keep application source read-only; applying a proposal is a separate step.
- Derived cache and review state live outside the target repository by default.
Upgrade
pipx upgrade ui-design-workbench-cli
uidw install-skill codex
A Windows .exe is not published yet. PyPI + pipx is the primary cross-platform installation path.
