Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
2 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Lrinvl1203 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Design Discovery AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/Lrinvl1203/world-class-web-design-os/tree/main/.codex/skills/design-discovery
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Lrinvl1203/world-class-web-design-os.git /tmp/world-class-web-design-os
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/world-class-web-design-os/.codex/skills/design-discovery .claude/skills/design-discovery

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Design Discovery in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Design Discovery on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Design Discovery is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Design Discovery

Convert the request into a decision brief

Capture only information that changes the design:

business/product and desired outcome;
primary users and context of use;
top job-to-be-done and secondary jobs;
primary CTA/conversion and failure modes;
content inventory and trust evidence;
required pages, states, locales and devices;
brand attributes and explicit anti-attributes;
technical/deployment constraints;
measurable CTQs.

CTQ examples

Translate adjectives into observable requirements.

“premium” → deliberate art direction, controlled type hierarchy, authored imagery, restrained motion, no template residue.
“fast to use” → core answer/action discoverable in one scan and short navigation path.
“mobile-first” → content priority and interaction model are designed for touch before desktop decoration is added.

Ambiguity policy

Do not stall on low-risk gaps. Infer reasonable defaults, label them as assumptions, and continue. Ask only when a missing decision would materially change business logic, brand, legal requirements or architecture.

Output

Produce a concise design brief with: Goal, Audience, Primary Job, Primary Action, Content Priority, Brand, Anti-Direction, Constraints, CTQs.

When imagery, logos, footage, 3D models, fonts, or external references affect the direction, read references/asset-protocol.md and record ownership, rights, fidelity, fallback, and delivery status before treating an asset as available.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Design Discovery AI skill do?

Use when a web project needs business goals, audience, information architecture, conversion priorities, content hierarchy, constraints, or design CTQs clarified before visual design begins.

Why use Design Discovery on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Design Discovery is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Design Discovery in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Lrinvl1203/world-class-web-design-os/tree/main/.codex/skills/design-discovery. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Design Discovery?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Design Discovery?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Design Discovery with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Design Discovery AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Lrinvl1203 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
