Ui Forager Skill

Design community

Description

Claude/Codex Skill that pulls and adapts real UI components from shadcn/ui, Aceternity, Magic UI, and 25+ other free component libraries — plus a growing personal stash of 21st.dev components — instead of writing UI from memory.

Installation

This entry records only its repository, not the path inside it, so there is no exact command to give. Open the source below and copy the folder into ~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.

README

ui-forager

A Skill that pulls real, current UI component code from a curated set of free component/design libraries instead of writing UI from memory — then adapts it to fit your actual project instead of pasting it in unchanged.

Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, and oh-my-pi — anything that reads Claude-compatible skills from ~/.claude/skills/.

What it does

When you ask for a UI component, section, page, animation, chart, icon, or image/video asset — even without naming a library — this skill:

Classifies what you actually need (layout block, interactive primitive, animation, chart, template, icon, media asset) Picks 1–3 candidate sources from references/libraries.md Fetches real, current source code via web_fetch instead of hallucinating "shadcn-style" code from memory Adapts it — matches your design tokens, strips unneeded deps, converts frameworks/TS↔JS, flags anything risky (CDN script injection, trademarked logos, missing dependencies) — instead of pasting it in unchanged Tells you what it pulled from where Sources covered

Personal stash: references/21st-dev.md — a growing, hand-collected set of 21st.dev components (glassmorphism effects, WebGL image effects, pricing tables, hero sections, auth forms, etc.), each documented with its actual dependencies, gotchas, and full source — since 21st.dev doesn't expose fetchable component pages and has a daily pull limit.

See references/libraries.md for the full list with URLs and what each is best for.
