0upvotes

Compare UX patterns across multiple reference apps using pattern libraries produced by ux-extract. Reads 2+ pattern-library.md files, walks them category by category, identifies where apps converge (strong signal), where they diverge (genuine design choice), what's unique to one app, and what's absent across the set. Produces an opinionated comparison document with recommendations for a new build. No browser needed — pure markdown analysis. Trigger with 'compare UX patterns', 'how do top apps handle X', 'ux comparison', 'pattern comparison across reference apps'.

# UX Compare

Read N pattern libraries produced by `ux-extract` and synthesise a comparison. Answers questions like:

- *"Across claude.ai, Linear, Notion, Vercel, and Superhuman — how are empty states handled?"*
- *"Which apps use keyboard shortcuts, and what's the shared vocabulary?"*
- *"When we build our billing page, should we follow convention or deliberately break it?"*

A single extract is a reference point. Multiple extracts are a design library. A comparison is a *decision aid* — it turns the library into "here's what to do and why".

## When to use

- **Before a build** — comparing 3–5 references for the feature class you're about to build reveals the convention and the tradeoffs
- **During a design review** — "this pattern isn't in any of the 5 references we've extracted — is that deliberate?"
