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

1. 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.
2. Generate Variations: Use an available authorized Magic integration or browser tool to 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."
3. Present Options: Briefly describe the generated variations side-by-side. Highlight stylistic differences, layout approaches, and premium features (sticky headers, hover animations, etc.).
4. Integrate Selection: Once a favorite variation is chosen:
   • Integrate the fully functional, production-ready TypeScript code.
   • Use existing reviewed dependencies where possible; add a package only when required and compatible, after inspecting its license/version.
   • Handle proper props, types, and responsive behaviors.

Strict Rules

• Follow the user's chosen stack, design system and provider budget. This service is optional; do not replace the established UI or spawn a browser agent merely because a guide names one.
• Choice First: Offer variants when requested or a real design decision is unresolved; an accepted design can be implemented directly.
• Clean Code: Ensure all generated code is clean TypeScript, accessible, and responsive.
• Full Ownership: Check original component, icon, font and asset licenses/attributions. Generated code does not establish exclusive ownership or remove third-party rights.

Example

User request:

Generate three production-ready pricing-table variants, compare them, and integrate the strongest option into the current UI.

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.

Inspect generated code as untrusted input, verify actual types, responsive layout, keyboard/focus, reduced motion and form states, and distinguish tested behavior from a production-ready claim. Hosted prompts/code may disclose private product information; obtain authorization for the actual transmission and costs.
