What it does
Design Style is an agent skill from Castor6/tactus. Use this skill whenever the user asks to build, create, design, develop, improve, or style any frontend interface or visual element. This includes: - Landing pages, websites, web apps, dashboards, portfolios, or any web UI - UI components (buttons, forms, cards, navbars, modals, etc.) - React, Vue, Next.js, Svelte, or other frontend frameworks - CSS, Tailwind, styled-components, or styling help - Visual improvements or aesthetic upgrades - Requests mentioning frontend, UI, UX, interface, web design, or styling -…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 38 other files, including scripts (for example `prompts/Academia.md`, `prompts/ArtDeco.md` and `prompts/Bauhaus.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Frontend development, CSS and styling and Design systems. It works with React, Vue.js, Next.js and Svelte. The repository describes itself as: The first browser AI Agent extension to support Agent Skills, enabling AI to perform complex tasks through an expandable skill system. 🌟 Star if you like it! | 首个支持 Agent Skills…. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to build
- Style any frontend interface
- Proactively for ANY frontend/UI-related request
- Even if no style is specified
Example prompts
- “/design-style”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b055cef. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Design Style loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 230 tokens; SKILL.md has 890 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Use this skill whenever the user asks to build, create, design, develop, improve, or style any frontend interface or visual element. This includes: - Landing pages, websites, web apps, dashboards, portfolios, or any web UI - UI components (buttons, forms, cards, navbars, modals, etc.) - React, Vue, Next.js, Svelte, or other frontend frameworks - CSS, Tailwind, styled-components, or styling help - Visual improvements or aesthetic upgrades - Requests mentioning frontend, UI, UX, interface, web design, or styling - Adjectives like beautiful, modern, clean, professional, minimalist, dark, brutalist, etc. This skill loads the appropriate design system prompt (Neo-brutalism, Modern Dark, Bauhaus, Cyberpunk, Material, etc.) to generate distinctive, production-grade frontend code instead of generic UI. IMPORTANT: Trigger proactively for ANY frontend/UI-related request, even if no style is specified.

Design Style Skill
Purpose
This skill helps Claude Code create beautiful, distinctive frontend interfaces by automatically retrieving design system prompts from the prompts/ directory. Instead of producing generic UI, this skill enables Claude to build interfaces with specific design aesthetics like Neo-brutalism, Modern Dark, Luxury, Cyberpunk, and more.
When to Use
This skill is automatically invoked when:
- User asks to build a web page, landing page, or web application
- User requests a UI component with a specific design style
- User mentions frontend, React, Vue, or web development
- User asks for a specific aesthetic (e.g., "make it look modern and dark" or "use a brutalist style")
Available Design Styles
The following design systems are available in the prompts/ directory:
- Academia - Scholarly, classic, refined
- ArtDeco - Luxurious 1920s glamour
- Bauhaus - Functionalist, geometric minimalism
- BoldTypography - Type-driven design
- Botanical - Nature-inspired, organic
- Claymorphism - Soft, clay-like 3D elements
- Cyberpunk - Futuristic, neon, high-tech
- Enterprise - Professional, corporate, scalable
- FlatDesign - Clean, minimal, 2D
- Fluent2 - Microsoft Fluent 2 Design System
- HumanistLiterary - Warm, literary, conversational (Claude aesthetic)
- Industrial - Raw, mechanical, utilitarian
- Kinetic - Dynamic, motion-focused
- Luxury - Premium, elegant, sophisticated
- Material - Google Material Design
- Maximalism - Bold, expressive, abundant
- MinimalDrak - Minimal dark theme (note: typo in original)
- ModernDark - Contemporary dark UI with depth
- Monochrome - Black and white, high contrast
- Neo-brutalism - Bold, raw, colorful brutalism
- Neumorphism - Soft UI, skeuomorphic
- Newsprint - Newspaper-inspired
- Organic - Natural, flowing forms
- PlayfulGeometric - Fun geometric shapes
- Professional - Clean, business-focused
- Retro - Vintage, nostalgic
- Saas - Modern SaaS aesthetic
- Sketch - Hand-drawn, artistic
- Swiss - International Typographic Style
- TerminalCLI - Command-line interface aesthetic
- Vaporwave - 80s/90s aesthetic, nostalgic
- Web3 - Decentralized, crypto-inspired
How It Works
Step 1: Understand User Intent
When the user requests frontend work, first determine:
- Tech stack - What framework are they using? (React, Vue, Next.js, etc.)
- Design preference - Did they mention a specific style or aesthetic?
- Component scope - Single component, full page, or entire application?
Step 2: Select Design Style
If user specifies a style:
- Match their request to available styles (e.g., "brutalist" → Neo-brutalism)
- Case-insensitive matching (brutalism, Brutalism, BRUTALISM all work)
If user doesn't specify:
- For modern, professional projects → ModernDark or Professional
- For creative, bold projects → Neo-brutalism or BoldTypography
- For minimal, clean projects → FlatDesign or Swiss
- For enterprise/corporate → Enterprise
Ask the user if you're uncertain about which style fits their needs.
Step 3: Retrieve Design System
Use the Read tool to load the appropriate prompt file:
Read: prompts/<StyleName>.mdFor example:
prompts/Neo-brutalism.mdprompts/ModernDark.mdprompts/Cyberpunk.md
Step 4: Apply Design System
Once you've loaded the design system prompt:
- Internalize the design philosophy - Understand the core principles, visual signatures, and differentiation factors
- Extract design tokens - Colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders
- Follow component patterns - Use the specified button styles, card layouts, etc.
- Apply the "Bold Factor" - Implement signature elements that make the design authentic
- Avoid anti-patterns - Don't use techniques that break the aesthetic
Step 5: Build with Context
Before writing code:
- Identify the user's existing tech stack
- Understand their component architecture
- Note any constraints (CSS frameworks, design libraries, etc.)
When writing code:
- Match their existing patterns and conventions
- Centralize design tokens in CSS variables or a config file
- Create reusable, composable components
- Explain your architectural choices briefly
Quality standards:
- Preserve or improve accessibility
- Ensure responsive design across devices
- Make deliberate, creative design choices (not generic boilerplate)
- Leave the codebase cleaner than you found it

Examples
Example 1: User Specifies Style
User: "Create a landing page for my SaaS product with a neo-brutalist design"
Skill Actions:
- Detect keywords: "landing page", "neo-brutalist"
- Map "neo-brutalist" →
prompts/Neo-brutalism.md - Read the design system prompt
- Ask clarifying questions: "What tech stack are you using? React, Vue, or plain HTML/CSS?"
- Build the landing page following Neo-brutalism principles (thick borders, hard shadows, bold colors, etc.)
Example 2: User Doesn't Specify Style
User: "Help me build a portfolio website"
Skill Actions:
- Detect: "portfolio website" (creative context)
- Suggest options: "Would you like a specific design style? I can create it in Modern Dark (sophisticated), Neo-brutalism (bold and creative), or Swiss (minimal and clean)."
- User responds with preference
- Load appropriate prompt and build
Example 3: Component Request
User: "Add a contact form to my Next.js app. Make it look modern and professional."
Skill Actions:
- Keywords: "Next.js", "modern and professional"
- Select:
ModernDark.md(modern) orProfessional.md(professional) - Read design system
- Build form component matching their Next.js patterns
- Use design tokens from the prompt (colors, typography, shadows, etc.)
Quick Reference Commands
When implementing, you can quickly reference specific sections:
Colors:
Grep: pattern "Token|Value|Usage" path "prompts/<Style>.md"Typography:
Grep: pattern "Font|Weight|Size" path "prompts/<Style>.md"Component Patterns:
Grep: pattern "Button|Card|Input" path "prompts/<Style>.md"Tips for Best Results
- Read the full prompt - Don't just skim. The design philosophy and differentiation sections are critical.
- Implement signature elements - Every design system has a "Bold Factor" section. These elements are what make it authentic.
- Avoid anti-patterns - Each prompt lists what NOT to do. Follow these rules strictly.
- Ask questions - If the user's needs are unclear, ask before building.
- Match existing code - Don't fight their tech stack. Integrate the design system into their existing patterns.
Notes
- All design system prompts follow the same structure:
<role>and<design-system>sections - Prompts include detailed color palettes, typography scales, component patterns, and implementation examples
- Each style is production-ready and has been carefully crafted for visual distinctiveness
- The prompts are designed to prevent generic, AI-looking interfaces
Future Enhancements
Potential improvements to this skill:
- Style combination support (e.g., "Cyberpunk + Minimal")
- Custom style creation workflow
- Design token extraction to JSON/CSS
- Component library generation from prompts
