SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing high-fidelity UI artifacts from a CLI or API agent environment often produces generic, templated-looking output. This Skill provides a structured design process—brief scoping, context gathering, surface selection, and anti-slop auditing—so agents produce thoughtful, verified HTML artifacts instead of default-looking layouts. ## 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 the most common cause of generic AI design. - Slop Diagnostic Audit: Scores artifacts against ten predictable AI design tells (tech gradients, feature-tile grids, unearned blur, wrong surface) and prescribes matched repairs—re-layout, recolor, or decoration removal. - Multiple Artifact Formats: Produces landing pages, interactive prototypes, 1920×1080 HTML slide decks with keyboard navigation, component labs, motion studies, and in-page Tweaks panels persisted via localStorage. - Use Case: A user asks for a dashboard concept for an internal admin tool. The Skill identifies it as a Monitor surface, inspects the repo's existing tokens and components, builds a self-contained HTML prototype with density-appropriate hierarchy, runs the slop audit, and verifies the file opens without console errors. ## 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.

Frequently Asked Questions about claude-design

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an 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 single self-contained HTML file with embedded CSS and JS, verified to open cleanly in a browser.

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

claude-design provides design process and taste for from-scratch 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 build slide decks in HTML?▼

Yes, it creates fixed-size 1920×1080 HTML decks with keyboard navigation, visible slide counts, localStorage slide persistence, and print-friendly layouts. Text is kept at 24px or larger for readability.

Does it work with an existing codebase instead of standalone HTML?▼

Yes, when the user asks for implementation in a repo, it inspects theme files, tokens, and components, then generates code in the repo's actual stack. Standalone HTML artifacts are only the default when no repo target is specified.

How does the slop diagnostic improve AI-generated design?▼

It scores the artifact against ten common AI design tells, such as tech gradients, feature-tile grids, and wrong surface composition. Repairs are matched to the diagnosis: compositional tells trigger re-layout, while palette or type tells trigger recoloring.

When should I not use this Skill for design work?▼

Do not use it for pure DESIGN.md token authoring; use design-md for that. It is also unnecessary for small tweaks to existing designs or when the user only needs a known brand's visual style, which popular-web-designs handles.
