README
hue
an open-source skill that learns any brand from a url, name, or screenshot and turns it into a complete design system. works on claude code and codex. install it once, and every component your ai assistant builds after that matches your brand.
see it in action: **[hueapp.io](https://hueapp.io)**
what you get
a full design language as an ai coding skill — color tokens, typography, spacing, components, light + dark mode, hero stage recipes, icon kit selection. opinionated enough that two different sessions using the generated skill produce visually consistent output.
install
claude code
git clone https://github.com/dominikmartn/hue ~/.claude/skills/hue
codex
git clone https://github.com/dominikmartn/hue ~/.agents/skills/hue
alternative codex path (cli installer compatible):
git clone https://github.com/dominikmartn/hue "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/hue"
then in any session say something like:
- "make a design skill from cursor.com"
- "create a design language inspired by raycast"
- "generate a hue skill from this screenshot"
the assistant picks up the trigger and walks through the analysis.
validation
every generated skill gets gated through `scripts/validate.mjs` before it ships:
node scripts/validate.mjs
it checks yaml syntax, orphan css selectors, undefined `var(--token)` usages, leftover placeholders, em-dashes, the SKILL.md frontmatter contract, wcag contrast on the core text/background pairs, and ai-default display fonts. exit code 1 on any error.
examples
seventeen brands live in `examples/` showing the range of output hue produces. sixteen are fictional one-shots, one is real (meadow ↦ the mymind-design skill).
| brand | character |
|---|---|
| atlas | ivory engineering, classical maritime charts |
| auris | premium audio, monochrome dark |
| drift | hot pink fashion commerce |
| fizz | y2k pop photo-sharing, candy chrome |
| halcyon | cool teal |
