SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing high-fidelity UI artifacts in CLI/API agent environments often produces generic, templated output because agents lack a structured design process and taste guidelines. This Skill provides a complete design workflow that turns a brief into a verified, self-contained HTML artifact while avoiding common AI design slop. ## 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 colors or type, eliminating generic hero-plus-three-cards layouts. - Structured Design Workflow: Covers brief analysis, context gathering from repos and brand docs, design system definition, variant exploration (conservative, strong-fit, divergent), and verification. - Slop Diagnostic Audit: Scores artifacts against ten known AI design tells (tech gradients, feature-tile grids, glassmorphism, default Inter type) and prescribes matched repairs. - Use Case: Ask the agent to design a dashboard concept for a new product; it inspects your repo's existing tokens and components, commits to a Monitor surface, produces a self-contained HTML file with a Tweaks panel, and verifies it opens cleanly in a browser. ## 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?

Provide a brief describing the audience, fidelity level, and any brand or repo context. The agent gathers context from your files, commits to a surface archetype, builds a self-contained HTML file with embedded CSS and JS, and verifies it before reporting the path.

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 rather than rendered artifacts.

Can this skill design inside an existing code repository?

Yes. When a repo is available, the agent inspects theme files, tokens, global styles, and component source before designing, then follows the repo's actual stack instead of forcing a standalone HTML artifact.

How does the skill avoid generic AI-generated design?

It enforces a surface-first composition rule and runs a ten-point slop diagnostic covering tech gradients, feature-tile grids, glassmorphism, and default typography. Compositional problems trigger re-layout rather than recoloring.

When should I not use this skill for design work?

Do not use it for authoring DESIGN.md token spec files; use design-md instead. Also avoid it when the user wants an exact clone of a proprietary branded UI, since the skill only extracts general design principles from references.
