Agent skills for designers
Teach Cursor and Claude Code your design standards once: accessibility, critique, UX writing, Figma MCP, motion, and polish. These skills cover the designer work that repeats every sprint, and pair with our prompts when you need a one-shot starting point in chat.

Frequently asked questions
What are agent skills for designers?
Agent skills are SKILL.md files that encode design workflows (accessibility checks, UX writing rules, critique frameworks, Figma MCP patterns, and UI polish) so your coding agent applies them when building or reviewing interfaces.
Best agent skills for UX designers in Cursor?
Start with Accessibility Expert, Frontend Design, and Web Interface Guidelines for shipped UI. Add Figma Use and Figma Generate Design if you work across Figma and code. UX Writing and Design Critique help on copy and review loops.
Skills vs prompts: which should designers use?
Use skills in Cursor or Claude Code for work that repeats in your codebase. Use prompts from our catalog for one-off tasks in ChatGPT or Claude chat, like research synthesis, workshop plans, or stakeholder emails.
Do these skills work with Claude Code and VS Code?
Yes. SKILL.md is an open standard. Install paths differ by tool (.cursor/skills/, .claude/skills/, or npx skills add). Each skill page includes source links and install guidance.
