Proven skills / Compare

Two design skills · both proven

improve-codebase-architecture 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.

Scan a codebase for deepening opportunities, present them as a visual HTML report, then grill through whichever one you pick.

Brief
“Here is the orders module of a small Express app. ```js // orders.js const db = require("./db"); const stripe = require("stripe")(process.env.STRIPE_KEY); const mailer = require("./mailer"); async function createOrder(req, res) { const { items, couponCode } = req.body; if (!req.user) return res.status(401).end(); let total = 0; for (const i of items) { const p = await db.query("select price, stock from products where id = $1", [i.id]); if (p.rows[0].stock < i.qty) return res.status(409).json({ error: "out of stock" }); total += p.rows[0].price * i.qty; } if (couponCode) { const c = await db.query("select pct, expires from coupons where code = $1", [couponCode]); if (c.rows[0] && new Date(c.rows[0].expires) > new Date()) total = total * (1 - c.rows[0].pct / 100); } const charge = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({ amount: Math.round(total * 100), currency: "usd", customer: req.user.stripeId, confirm: true }); const o = await db.query("insert into orders (user_id, total, status) values ($1, $2, $3) returning id", [req.user.id, total, charge.status]); for (const i of items) await db.query("update products set stock = stock - $1 where id = $2", [i.qty, i.id]); await mailer.send(req.user.email, "Order " + o.rows[0].id, "Thanks! Total: $" + total.toFixed(2)); res.json({ id: o.rows[0].id, total }); } module.exports = { createOrder }; ``` The team keeps breaking checkout when they change coupons or stock rules, and the code is hard to test. Review the architecture and present your findings as a single HTML report: the problems you see, the changes you recommend in order of value, and what the code would look like after the most important change.”

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.”
