SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing high-fidelity UI artifacts in CLI/API environments often produces generic, templated-looking output. This Skill provides a structured design process—surface-first composition, context gathering, variation exploration, and a slop diagnostic—that produces deliberate, verified HTML design artifacts instead of default-looking mockups. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Surface-First Composition: Commits to one of seven surface archetypes (Monitor, Operate, Compare, Configure, Decide/Learn, Explore, Command/Inspect) before choosing any visual tokens, eliminating the most common cause of generic layouts. - Self-Contained HTML Artifacts: Produces single-file HTML deliverables with embedded CSS/JS for landing pages, interactive prototypes, 1920x1080 slide decks, component labs, and motion studies, with versioned revisions and optional in-page Tweaks panels. - Slop Diagnostic Audit: Scores artifacts against ten known AI design tells (tech gradients, feature-tile grids, unearned blur, wrong surface) and repairs composition, color, or decoration based on the diagnosis. - Use Case: Ask for a dashboard concept and receive a density-focused Monitor-surface HTML prototype with three layout variants, verified in a browser, rather than a centered hero with three feature cards. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design a landing page or interactive prototype as a self-contained HTML file and save it to a local path.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a high-fidelity HTML prototype with an AI agent?

Describe the brief, audience, and fidelity level, then let the skill gather context from your repo or brand docs before building. It produces a self-contained HTML file with embedded CSS/JS, clickable primary paths, and key states like hover, loading, and empty.

What is the difference between claude-design, popular-web-designs, and design-md?

claude-design provides the design process and taste for one-off artifacts. popular-web-designs supplies ready-to-paste design systems matching known brands like Stripe or Linear. design-md authors formal DESIGN.md token spec files. They can be combined within one workflow.

How do I avoid generic AI-looking web design?

Commit to one of seven surface archetypes before choosing colors or type, then run the ten-point slop diagnostic on the result. Compositional tells like feature-tile grids require re-layout, while gradient and default-font tells require recoloring or re-typesetting.

Can this skill build slide decks in HTML?

Yes, it creates fixed-size 1920x1080 HTML decks with keyboard navigation, visible slide counts, localStorage persistence of the current slide, and print-friendly layouts. Text should be 24px or larger and slides kept sparse.

When should I not use claude-design?

Do not use it for authoring DESIGN.md token spec files; use design-md for that. Also avoid it when the user wants production code in an existing repo stack, in which case the repo's own components and conventions should drive implementation.

Does the skill work with React in standalone HTML files?

Plain HTML/CSS/JS is the default, but React from a CDN is allowed when state or variant complexity warrants it. Pin exact versions, avoid unpinned URLs, and attach shared components to window when splitting Babel scripts.
