What it does

Design It is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Routes frontend design tasks to 48 specific UI styles. Triggers for websites, app screens, or UI components requesting a specific aesthetic.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • UI components requesting a specific aesthetic

Example prompts

  • “Use the design-it skill to route frontend design tasks to 48 specific UI styles. An agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills”
  • “/design-it”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the Style (Fuzzy Matching): Look for keywords in their prompt (e.g., "minimal", "glass", "retro"). You do not need an exact…
  2. Read the Style Reference: Check the Style Index below to find the correct path for the chosen style. Use the view_file tool to read its…
  3. Pick a Palette: If the user explicitly defined a theme or colors, use their requested colors. If they did NOT specify colors, you MUST…
  4. Execute: Write the code following the specific principles of the chosen style. Do not blend styles unless requested.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 It loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 635 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Design-It: Sophisticated UI Style Router

This is the main entry point for the design-it skill system. Instead of falling back to generic "AI slop" aesthetics, you have access to 48 distinct, deeply opinionated design styles.

When to Use

Use this skill when a user requests building any frontend interface (website, app screen, UI component) and you want to apply a specific, opinionated design aesthetic instead of generic defaults.

How to Use This Skill

When a user asks you to build a frontend interface (web or app):

  1. Identify the Style (Fuzzy Matching): Look for keywords in their prompt (e.g., "minimal", "glass", "retro"). You do not need an exact match. Use your semantic understanding to map their request to one of the 48 styles. For example:
    • "Apple style" or "VisionOS" -> spatial-design, bento-ui, or glassmorphism
    • "Windows 8" or "Metro" -> tile-design
    • "Terminal" or "Hacker" -> sci-fi-interface or brutalist-typography
    • "Bauhaus" or "Clean" -> swiss-design
    • "Cyber" or "Matrix" -> cyberpunk-ui If they don't specify a style, choose one that best fits the project context.
  2. Read the Style Reference: Check the Style Index below to find the correct path for the chosen style. Use the view_file tool to read its specific SKILL.md.
  3. Pick a Palette: If the user explicitly defined a theme or colors, use their requested colors. If they did NOT specify colors, you MUST choose from one of the 10 Universal Palettes below.
  4. Execute: Write the code following the specific principles of the chosen style. Do not blend styles unless requested.

Universal Color Palettes

If the user provides their own colors, use them. Otherwise, you MUST use one of these 10 award-winning, highly sophisticated palettes to avoid generic neon/purplish gradients. When picking a palette, stick to these exact hex codes and establish CSS variables for them.

Web vs App Implementation

  • Web (React/Vue/HTML): Use CSS variables natively. Prioritize CSS grid/flexbox for layout. Use CSS transitions for hover states.
  • App (React Native/Flutter/SwiftUI): Map the palettes to the framework's theme engine. Use platform-specific shadows (elevation) and animations instead of CSS transitions. Maintain the core visual principles while adapting to mobile constraints.

Example

User request:

Review this interface with @design-it, identify the highest-impact design problems, and propose an implementation-ready improvement.

Limitations

  • This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or safety boundaries are missing.
