AI Design Skills
A growing collection of design skills for AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and anything else that reads a markdown rules file.
Each skill is a self-contained folder. Install the ones you need.

Skills
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| landing-page-design | Builds a landing page from scratch — intake questions, page structure, conversion copy, plus a full visual system (type, spacing, radius, motion) |
| figma-designer | Designs inside Figma with real structure: spacing, radius and color variables, named text styles, auto layout, components with every state, and a Foundations frame that updates with the tokens |
More on the way. Upgrading an existing site instead of building new? That one lives in its own repo since it predates this collection.

Install
Uses the skills CLI. Needs Node.js.
npx skills add elayadesign/ai-design-skills
It lists the skills in this repo and asks which ones to install and for which agents. Add flags to skip the prompts:
# one skill
npx skills add elayadesign/ai-design-skills --skill landing-page-design
pick agents
npx skills add elayadesign/ai-design-skills -a claude-code -a cursor
user-level instead of project-level
npx skills add elayadesign/ai-design-skills -g
see what's available without installing
npx skills add elayadesign/ai-design-skills --list
Add -y to skip confirmations. Skills land in .claude/skills/ for Claude Code and .agents/skills/ for Cursor, Codex and other agents. Run npx skills update later to pull changes.
Then just ask, in plain language, for what the skill covers.
