Design
UI/UX direction, visual design, and design systems
frontend-design
by anthropics
Guidance for distinctive, intentional visual design when building new UI or reshaping an existing one. Helps with aesthetic direction, typography, and making choices that don't read as templated defaults.
build-mcp-server
by anthropics
This skill should be used when the user asks to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP", "make an MCP integration", "wrap an API for Claude", "expose tools to Claude", "make an MCP app", or discusses building something with the Model Context Protocol. It is the entry point for MCP server development — it interrogates the user about their use case, determines the right deployment model (remote HTTP, MCPB, local stdio), picks a tool-design pattern, and hands off to specialized skills.
wireframe
by paperclipai
Produce low-fidelity black-and-white UI wireframes as SVGs or viewer pages. Use when asked to wireframe, sketch a screen, draft a layout, make a low-fi mockup, or publish wireframes.
design-guide
by paperclipai
Paperclip UI design system guide for building consistent, reusable frontend components. Use when creating new UI components, modifying existing ones, adding pages or features to the frontend, styling UI elements, or when you need to understand the design language and conventions. Covers: component creation, design tokens, typography, status/priority systems, composition patterns, and the /design-guide showcase page. Always use this skill alongside the frontend-design skill (for visual quality) and the web-design-guidelines skill (for web best practices).
paperclip-board
by paperclipai
Manage a Paperclip company as a board member via chat. Use when the user wants onboarding, company or agent management, approvals, task monitoring, cost oversight, or work product review in the Paperclip control plane.
paperclip-capsules
by paperclipai
Generate, implement, or review Paperclip capsule visuals. Use for capsule art, agent capsules, heartbeat status capsules, identicons, capsule banks, or brand-usage validation.
pr-report
by paperclipai
Produce a maintainer-grade PR or contribution report as HTML or Markdown. Use when asked to deeply review a PR, explain a design, compare systems, or prepare a merge recommendation.
design-critique
by paperclipai
Give a structured product design critique — user job clarity, hierarchy, affordance, error states, accessibility, and consistency — focused on what to change, in what order, and why.
component-fixtures
by microsoft
Use when creating or updating component fixtures for screenshot testing, or when designing UI components to be fixture-friendly. Covers fixture file structure, theming, service setup, CSS scoping, async rendering, and common pitfalls.
ux-theming
by microsoft
VS Code theming, color tokens, widget styles, focus indicators, and high-contrast theme support. Use when registering colors, styling widgets with theme tokens, or ensuring HC/focus compliance.
design-philosophy
by microsoft
The VS Code design philosophy — a shared Values→Principles→Moves vocabulary for reasoning about UI in design terms instead of raw pixels. Use when designing, building, reviewing, or giving feedback on any visual surface; when deciding a radius, spacing, type role, icon size, border, color, or motion; or when translating a "this feels off" observation into a concrete, principled fix.
chat-pet-sprite-creation
by microsoft
Use when creating or changing VS Code chat pet sprite art, sprite sheets, state animations, eye treatments, Stable/Insiders variants, or pet transitions under src/vs/workbench/contrib/chat/browser/widget/media/chatPet.
reusable-visualization
by lightdash
Build ONE reusable chart visualization component that receives its data and its settings from the host application instead of fetching them, and declares the fields and config options the host exposes to viewers. Use this whenever a single chart component is reused across many different queries rather than built for one — in Lightdash, the data_app_viz app template, also called a "viz". Covers the useVizContext() hook, the declaration contract, the config-option vocabulary, and series colours.
agent-testing
by lobehub
Agentic end-to-end testing for any project: backend verification via the project CLI, frontend verification via agent-browser (web), and desktop verification via CDP (Electron). Drives the real surface, captures visually confirmed evidence, and publishes a structured report to LobeHub Acceptance. Triggers on 'cli test', 'test with cli', 'verify with cli', 'backend test with cli', 'local test', 'test in electron', 'test desktop', 'manual test', 'test report', or any local end-to-end verification task.
design-prototype
by lobehub
Produce an interactive single-file HTML design prototype using the REAL LobeHub design system (@lobehub/ui + antd + antd-style tokens) with production-style React — no build step, opens directly in a browser. Use when asked for a design prototype / interactive mockup / 交互原型 / 出个原型 / 设计稿 HTML for a page or flow, or to explore a redesign before committing to implementation.
product-design
by lobehub
'Turn a vague product ask ("this page feels wrong", "we need a team view") into a grounded, shippable design by establishing business semantics and the user task before proposing a surface. Use when scoping a new surface, redesigning an existing one, or deciding what a feature should be. Not for auditing a built screen (ux-audit) or choosing visual details (ux).'
ux
by lobehub
'LobeHub product design values / principles / checklists. Use whenever the work touches user-interface features or implementation — designing or building any user-facing flow — to get better UX results.'
ux-audit
by lobehub
'Audit a page / surface against the Designing Interfaces pattern language + the ux skill checklists, then land findings. Three layers — static (code), visual (screenshots), dynamic (automated user journey + perf). Use to run a repeatable, standards-based UX review of one screen.'
deep-review
by lobehub
'Multi-dimensional code review. Use when the user asks to review, evaluate, or audit a PR, diff, branch, or pasted change — including informal review asks like "look at this change for problems" — via light mode: one independent reviewer against the dimension quick checklists. Not for explain-only questions about what a change does or why. Deep mode runs only on explicit invocation (/deep-review), and normally at most once per logical requirement.'
visual-audit
by brycewang-stanford
Perform adversarial visual audit of Quarto or Beamer slides checking for overflow, font consistency, box fatigue, and layout issues.
academic-paper-strategist
by brycewang-stanford
'Systematic strategic planning framework for philosophy and interdisciplinary academic papers targeting preprint platforms (PhilArchive, arXiv, PhilSci-Archive). Use when users want to: (1) plan a paper on a specific topic, (2) identify research gaps and assess originality, (3) develop optimized paper outlines, (4) prepare for preprint submission, or (5) understand platform requirements and writing standards. Triggered by phrases like ''plan a paper on,'' ''help me design a paper about,'' ''identify research gaps in,'' ''is this idea original,'' or when users need structured research planning. The skill guides through three phases: Platform Analysis (identifying target venue and studying sample papers), Theoretical Framework (AI-driven literature search and gap identification), and Outline Optimization (structured design with reviewer-perspective self-assessment). Each phase includes quality evaluation standards and validation checkpoints. Output: optimized detailed outline ready for systematic writing (use with academic-paper-composer skill).'
literature-review
by brycewang-stanford
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).
scientific-writing
by brycewang-stanford
"Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process: (1) create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions."
compile-latex
by brycewang-stanford
Compile a Beamer LaTeX slide deck with XeLaTeX (3 passes + bibtex). Use when compiling lecture slides.
