Universal Design Principles
**A cross-agent skill marketplace of 42 framework-agnostic UX & product-design principles, drawn from *Universal Principles of Design* (Lidwell, Holden, Butler, 2003) and the broader design and HCI research literature.**

What this is
A **working library** of design principles, packaged as portable Agent Skills plus native plugin metadata for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Install one or more plugins and your agent gains access to curated skills that fire automatically whenever you work on UX, UI, or product design — regardless of design system, SDK, framework, or platform.
Each principle is built as a **reference-grade entry**: a router-style `SKILL.md` (~350–500 lines), 2–4 sub-aspect skills for context-specific application (~200–300 lines each), and per-skill `references/` deep-dive files with origins, research lineage, and worked patterns. The result is a library an agent can apply with the same depth as a senior designer who has internalized the canon.
Why a plugin marketplace?
Many products today are built and reviewed by AI agents. The quality of their design judgment depends heavily on what they've been taught to attend to. Without a working library of principles, an agent wil
