Design Skills
AI skills for design critique, system management, developer handoff, UX writing, and accessibility review.
On this page
Design skills help you maintain quality and consistency across your product's visual and interaction layers. They pull context from your design tools, documentation, and component libraries to deliver structured feedback, specs, and copy -- without the back-and-forth that slows teams down.
Instead of waiting for a design review meeting or manually writing handoff notes, a design skill analyzes the work and produces actionable output on demand.
What you can do
- Run design critiques that evaluate usability, visual hierarchy, and consistency against your design system
- Manage design system tokens, components, and patterns -- track usage, flag drift, and suggest consolidation
- Generate developer handoff specs with spacing, color values, interaction states, and responsive behavior
- Write UX microcopy for buttons, error messages, tooltips, onboarding flows, and empty states
- Audit interfaces for WCAG compliance and flag accessibility issues with remediation steps
- Synthesize user research findings into themes, insights, and prioritized recommendations
