Catalogue stub — full skill: Owl-Listener/designer-skills
Decision tree
-
Is the full skill already installed?
- Global:
grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/search-ux/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- Project:
grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/search-ux/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- No
das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
das: block present → go to step 2
-
Detect scope, then install:
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/search-ux ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
Global:
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill search-ux -g -y
Project:
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill search-ux -y

What it does
Owls end-to-end search-UX skill: search input and autocomplete, results layout and ranking, faceted filtering, the often-neglected zero-results state (treated as a retention moment), and search analytics (zero-result queries, click position, abandonment). Web research found NO dedicated public search-UX agent skill — this fills a real catalogue gap.
When NOT to use
- Backend search indexing/relevance tuning → an engineering concern, not this skill
- General navigation IA → use
