Two design skills · both proven

brainstorming vs ui-ux-pro-max

Both skills were run through Claude twice: once on a fixed brief without the skill, once with it. The briefs differ because each is written for the job the skill claims to do, so compare each skill against its own baseline, then decide which difference matters for your work.

Brief: “Build the dashboard home screen for Tally, a personal finance app: a sidebar, a header with the account switcher, a balance hero, a monthly spending chart drawn with inline SVG, a recent transactions list, budget progress cards, and an upcoming bills panel. It should feel like a finished product, with hover states and subtle motion.”
