What it does

Layered Design Generator is an agent skill from bobbyz1x2c3/layer-designer. Generate professional UI/UX designs as layered PSD-like outputs with transparent layers. Supports complete 8-phase workflows from requirements to final output. Use when the user asks to create UI/UX designs, generate layered images, produce design mockups with transparent backgrounds, or work with any multi-layer design workflow including requirements gathering, preview generation, rough design, composition check, refinement, and state variants (hover/active/disabled).

Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 65 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `config.example.json`, `layer-designer.py` and `references/incremental-update.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering UI design and Requirements gathering. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: 将 UI 设计拆解为可独立使用的透明图层,支持从需求到交付的完整工作流。

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create UI/UX designs
  • Generate layered images
  • Produce design mockups with transparent backgrounds
  • Work with any multi-layer design workflow including requirements gathering

Example prompts

  • “/layered-design-generator”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup & Installation
  2. Prerequisites
  3. Configuration (config.json)
  4. API Timeout Guidelines
  5. Model Capability Check
  6. Input Modes
  7. Model Size Constraints (HARD — 502 if violated)
  8. Workflow Overview
  9. Preview Quality Modes
  10. Iteration Limits
  11. Phase-by-Phase Reference Documents
  12. Key Rules

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da5b905. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Batch and Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.tbedu.top

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Layered Design Generator loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~60k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,043 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~60k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,043 words (~5,358 tokens).
