A lightweight design system in skill form. Instead of letting Claude rebuild your button styles from scratch every time, this gives it a consistent set of UI opinions to follow across components. It's from @ibelick's repo and works by advertising itself during planning so the agent pulls in the constraints automatically when building interfaces. Most useful when you're generating lots of small UI pieces and want them to feel like they came from the same design language. Won't replace a full design system, but it's a practical middle ground between total freedom and heavy tooling.

How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/ibelick/ui-skills

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (ui-skills) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
