A growing collection of design skills for AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and anything else that reads a markdown rules file.
Each skill is a self-contained folder. Install the ones you need.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
landing-page-design |
Builds a landing page from scratch — intake questions, page structure, conversion copy, plus a full visual system (type, spacing, radius, motion) |
design-to-motion |
Turns a static design into a pixel exact animated showcase — empty state to loaded, every visual acting out its story on a loop, background kept untouched, exported as an MP4 for X plus website and 800×500 GIFs |
More on the way. Upgrading an existing site instead of building new? That one lives in its own repo since it predates this collection.
Pick a skill from the table above, then swap <skill-name> below for its folder name.
Claude Code
mkdir -p .claude/skills
git clone https://github.com/elayadesign/ai-design-skills.git /tmp/ai-design-skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-design-skills/skills/<skill-name> .claude/skills/Then just ask, in plain language, for what that skill covers.
Cursor
mkdir -p .cursor/rules
curl -o .cursor/rules/<skill-name>.md \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/elayadesign/ai-design-skills/main/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.mdOr paste the file into Settings → Rules for AI.
Codex / Windsurf / other
Copy the skill's SKILL.md into whatever your tool uses for project rules:
| Tool | Path |
|---|---|
| Codex | AGENTS.md |
| Windsurf | .windsurfrules |
| Cline | .clinerules |
| Generic | paste into your system prompt |
Claude.ai (no terminal)
Download the skill's SKILL.md and upload it to a Project, or attach it to a chat and say "follow this."
Every skill's design values (fonts, colors, spacing, motion) live in one section near the bottom of its file. Fork this repo, edit that section, and the rest of the skill follows automatically.
design-to-motion adapts a few general motion rules from emilkowalski/skills, Owl-Listener/designer-skills, and dylantarre/animation-principles, all MIT licensed. Details are at the end of its SKILL.md.
