Overview
Oil UI is an installable skill for AI coding agents that generates several genuinely different design directions for a website, app, dashboard or component. It puts them on a comparison page, lets you pick one, then refines it against desktop and mobile screenshots. The free edition covers design direction, visuals and screenshot recreation; usability, polish and existing-project work are in the paid Pro edition.
Who it is for: Developers using AI coding agents who want distinct UI designs, not defaults
Strengths
- Installs with one command, npx skills add oil-oil/oil-ui, no configuration
- Built-in comparison page with desktop/mobile switching and arrow-key browsing
- Directions must differ in layout, typography, color and imagery, sharing at most one
- Checks results against real screenshots at desktop and mobile sizes
Weaknesses
- Usability, polish, dashboard and existing-project workflows are only in Pro ($9.99)
- Independent review is limited to a score with issues listed in the free edition
- Checks ui.oiloil.org for updates on use; needs Python 3 (can be disabled)
- Installing alongside Pro makes both compete for the same requests
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Python 3, npx (skills CLI), an AI coding agent that supports skills
Quick answers
Is oil-ui open source?
