PocketUI vs UI UX Pro Max
Both are design skills for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, and both aim to stop AI from producing the same generic page. They get there differently. UI UX Pro Max hands the model a catalogue of styles, palettes and font pairings to choose from. The PocketUI design skill hands it the components, colors and fonts you saved from sites you like, over MCP.

Where UI UX Pro Max wins
Works with nothing saved
Install it and it works. The PocketUI skill needs a library to build from; with no saves it falls back to general good practice.
A big catalogue to browse
If you don’t know what style you want yet, UI UX Pro Max’s styles, palettes and font pairings are a good way to find a direction.
More UX rules
Its UX guidelines cover a lot of ground, from accessibility to charts. PocketUI’s checks focus on matching your references.
Where PocketUI wins
Looks like the sites you chose
Ask for a page “in my @Dark UI style” and the skill builds from that folder: its colors by role, its fonts and weights, its radius, shadows and spacing.
Real code, not descriptions
A style database describes a look. PocketUI saves the section’s actual HTML and CSS, hover states included, and the skill starts from it.
Less sameness
Everyone who picks the same catalogue style gets the same palette. Your library is yours, so your pages don’t look like everyone else’s.
