Oil UI is an interface design skill from oil-oil. The README says it recommends one direction and refines it against real screenshots, or explores several directions side by side when you ask to compare. It starts by naming the product category and finding peers with distinctive styles, then turns words like premium and clean into concrete decisions about tone, layout and imagery. When a page is done it opens it at desktop and mobile sizes and checks the screenshots, and you can bring in a reviewer who has not seen the work in progress. You install it with the skills command line tool. The licence is MIT and the repository was last pushed on 11 November 2026. It suits designers and developers who want a reasoned direction before code. One limit: the README says redesigns of existing projects and some effects are in a separate paid product, Oil UI Pro. We have not run it ourselves for this note.
