What is a Claude design skill?
A Claude design skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file that gives Claude concrete design instructions: which typography and spacing rules to apply, how to critique a layout, how to build a component library. It is part of the Agent Skills format, so one install command adds it and the agent loads it only when a matching task comes up.
The difference from prompting is persistence and depth. A skill carries reference files, checklists and scripts alongside the instructions, so the agent applies the same design standards on every task instead of whatever one prompt happened to say.
Not to be confused with Claude Design, Anthropic’s separate product for generating slides and prototypes. The skills on this page install into a coding agent; that product does not.
