Designer Skills

The Designer Skills Pack

Design skills for the agent era, written so an AI agent can actually use them.

**241 skills and 91 commands across 33 plugins, in five collections**, for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) and [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli).

**Not sure which skill you need? Start with the [skill index](./INDEX.md)** — every skill in this repo arranged by the situation you're in, plus the pairs most often mistaken for each other.

Getting started (no coding needed)

These skills run inside an AI coding assistant. The easiest place to use them is Claude Code, and it takes three steps. No terminal required.

**1. Get Claude Code.** It's a free app from Anthropic (claude.com). Download it, sign in, and open it. You only do this once.

**2. Add the suite.** In Claude Code, type this and press enter:

/plugin marketplace add Owl-Listener/designer-skills

This just tells Claude where the skills live. Nothing installs yet.

**3. Pick what you want.** Type `/plugin` and press enter, then open the **Discover** tab. You'll see all the collections. Move with the arrow keys, press space to tick the ones you want, and enter to install. That's it.

I only want the design skills, not everything

Same three steps. On the Discover list in step 3, just tick the design ones, design-research, design-systems, ui-design, interaction-design, and so on, and leave the rest. Install as few or as many as you like, and come back for more any time.

I only want one specific collection

Each collection also has its own door. Swap the command in step 2 for the one you want, for example:

/plugin marketplace add Owl-Listener/inclusive-design-skills

Then do step 3 the same way.

Prefer Gemini CLI?

Each plugin is also a Gemini CLI extension. From your project root:

git clone https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills /tmp/designer-skills
mkdir -p .gemini/extensions
cp -r /tmp/designer-skills/
