Design Skills for AI Agents

Open-source, vendor-agnostic design skills for Claude Code, Cowork, and Cursor. Design your own with a visual editor, or install from the registry in one click.

Google shipped stitch-skills (7 pre-built skills locked to their ecosystem). skill.design is the open alternative: design your own skills for any agent, without code.

Why open matters

Vendor-agnostic

Skills work with Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, and any platform supporting the open Agent Skills standard. Write once, install anywhere.

Design your own

The visual skill designer lets you create custom design skills without writing code. Describe, shape, test, export.

Expression infrastructure

Need more than skills? Designless Studio provides deterministic design systems via API. The infrastructure layer beneath your skills.

Design skills in the registry

Frequently asked questions

What are design skills for AI agents?+
Design skills are reusable instruction packages that teach AI coding agents how to handle design-related tasks: auditing design systems, enforcing accessibility standards, managing design tokens, and more. They run inside Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, and other compatible platforms.
How is skill.design different from Google Stitch skills?+
Google's stitch-skills are locked to the Stitch MCP server and only work within Google's ecosystem. skill.design skills are vendor-agnostic: they work with Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, and any platform that supports the open Agent Skills standard. Plus, you can design your own skills visually, not just install pre-built ones.
Do I need to know how to code to create design skills?+
No. The skill designer at skill.design/designer is a visual, no-code tool. Describe what you want the skill to do, shape the logic with drag-and-drop sections, test it live, and export. No syntax or programming required.
Can I use design skills with Claude Code and Cursor?+
Yes. Skills built on skill.design follow Anthropic's open Agent Skills standard. Install them in Claude Code (.claude/skills/), Cursor (.cursor/skills/), Cowork, or any compatible agent platform.
What is the difference between vibe design and skill design?+
Vibe design (popularized by Google Stitch) means describing a feeling or objective and letting AI generate design directions. Skill design goes further: you encode reusable design expertise into portable skill packages that any AI agent can execute consistently. Vibe design is inspiration; skill design is production-ready behavior.
How does this relate to Designless and expression infrastructure?+
skill.design is part of the Designless ecosystem. While Designless Studio (designless.studio) provides expression infrastructure (deterministic design systems via API), skill.design focuses on the skills layer: teaching AI agents how to work with design systems, brand guidelines, and design processes.

Design your own skill

Encode your design expertise into a reusable skill package. No code, no vendor lock-in.
