Automating the Application of HCI Principles: Skills for On-Demand UI Construction, the Human-AI Space to Think, and the Future of HCI

The article discusses how large language models can now generate user interfaces from natural‑language descriptions, and proposes a framework that turns HCI design knowledge into machine‑readable ‘skills’ that guide on‑demand UI construction. By treating the dialogue between user and AI as a shared cognitive workspace, these skills encode established HCI principles (e.g., Nielsen’s heuristics, WCAG criteria) as editable, version‑controlled artifacts. The authors outline a research agenda that envisions HCI moving from heuristic checklists to a machine‑executable, open‑source craft.
