What is it?
AI Design Skills is a set of markdown-based design skills that AI coding tools can follow when building user interfaces. Each skill is a self-contained folder with a SKILL.md file, so you install only the ones you need into your project's rules or skills directory.
The current skill, landing-page-design, guides an assistant through building a landing page from scratch. It covers intake questions, page structure, conversion-oriented copy, and a visual system defining typography, spacing, radius, and motion. A separate repository handles upgrading an existing site.
Installation works with Claude Code (copied into .claude/skills), Cursor (as a file in .cursor/rules), and tools such as Codex, Windsurf, and Cline through their respective rules files. Claude.ai users can upload the file to a Project or attach it to a chat. Design values such as fonts, colors, and spacing sit in one section near the bottom of each file for easy customization.
