README

Design Director

A platform-independent meta-skill that orchestrates your installed design skills into a strict 5-phase pipeline.

**Intent Lock → Identity → Craft → Motion → Quality Gate**

No more skill collision. No more aesthetic averaging. No more design skills vanishing into each other.

The Problem It Solves

When you install multiple high-quality design skills globally, they compete simultaneously. The model tries to satisfy all of them at once, compromises into generic middle-ground output, and each skill's individual value disappears.

Design Director fixes this by:

Mutual exclusion — only one identity source runs at a time
Sequential phases — craft doesn't run before identity is locked; the quality gate doesn't run before craft is done
Explicit routing — the director declares which skill is running and why before activating it

Works In

Platform	How to install
Antigravity	Clone into `~/.gemini/config/skills/design-director/`
Claude Code	Add to `CLAUDE.md` + clone under `.agents/skills/design-director/`
Cursor	Add reference to `.cursorrules` or global rules + clone at `.agents/skills/design-director/`
Bolt / Lovable / v0	Paste `SKILL.md` contents as a system prompt prefix
Windsurf	Add to `.windsurfrules` + clone at `.agents/skills/design-director/`
Any markdown-reading agent	Drop directory at `.agents/skills/design-director/` — auto-discovered
