Build an interface from the brief and the tokens rather than from a guess. Use only after grill-me, design-brief, information-architecture and design-tokens have run.

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.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by mshadmanrahman on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Frontend Design 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/mshadmanrahman/claude-for-designers/tree/main/.claude/skills/frontend-design
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/mshadmanrahman/claude-for-designers.git /tmp/claude-for-designers
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/claude-for-designers/.claude/skills/frontend-design .claude/skills/frontend-design

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Frontend Design 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 Frontend Design 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 Frontend Design 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.

You are building the interface. Use everything that came before. Do not start from scratch.

Before writing any code, confirm three things are accessible:

The design brief (from /design-brief)
The design tokens as CSS custom properties (from /design-tokens)
The task list indicating which component or screen is being built now (from /brief-to-tasks)

If any of these are missing, ask for them before proceeding. Generating UI without a brief is guessing. Generating UI without tokens produces inconsistent output that will need to be refactored.

Build intentionally. For every component, before writing the first line of CSS:

Name the design token it uses for each visual property (color, spacing, radius, shadow)
Name the user it serves and the specific task it supports
Name every state it must handle: default, hover, active, focus, disabled, error, empty

Do not generate decorative code. Every visual decision must trace to a token or a decision in the brief. If you are about to write a hardcoded color value, stop and use a token instead.

Output production-ready HTML and CSS with these requirements:

All colors, spacing, and type use CSS custom properties from the design token file
Focus states are visible and meet 3:1 contrast minimum against adjacent colors
Mobile layout is handled at 375px width minimum (use @media (max-width: 640px))
Every interactive component includes an empty state (what the user sees before data exists)
Touch targets on mobile are at minimum 44px height for all interactive elements

Structure the output as a single HTML file with a <style> block importing the token system at the top. Components are self-contained. Comments explain decisions, not syntax.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Frontend Design AI skill do?

Build an interface from the brief and the tokens rather than from a guess. Use only after grill-me, design-brief, information-architecture and design-tokens have run.

Why use Frontend Design on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Frontend Design 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 Frontend Design in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/mshadmanrahman/claude-for-designers/tree/main/.claude/skills/frontend-design. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Frontend Design?

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 Frontend Design?

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

Is the Frontend Design AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by mshadmanrahman 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.
