design-router

Automatically routes to the best UI/UX design skills based on project type, industry, and aesthetic requirements. Acts as a design dispatcher that reads the UIUX-high-taste-skill collection and applies the right combination.

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 Payoss on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Design Router 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/Payoss/UIUX-high-taste-skill/tree/master/skills/design-router
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

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/Payoss/UIUX-high-taste-skill.git /tmp/UIUX-high-taste-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/UIUX-high-taste-skill/skills/design-router .claude/skills/design-router

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Design Router 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 Router 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 Router 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 Router — Intelligent Skill Dispatcher

Purpose

When building any website, app, or interface, this skill analyzes the project context and automatically selects the most relevant design skills from the collection.

How It Works

Before writing ANY design code:

Identify the project type (landing page, dashboard, portfolio, SaaS, etc.)
Identify the industry/domain (tech, luxury, health, finance, creative, etc.)
Identify the aesthetic intent (minimal, bold, editorial, raw, premium, etc.)
Route to the correct skill combination from the table below

By Aesthetic Intent

Intent	Skill	Key Settings
"Make it look expensive"	`soft-skill`	Double-bezel cards, spring physics, serif headlines
"Make it clean and minimal"	`minimalist-skill`	Warm monochrome, bento grids, zero gradients
"Make it bold and unique"	`frontend-design`	Maximum creative freedom, unexpected choices
"Make it raw and technical"	`brutalist-skill`	Swiss typo, CRT effects, monospace dominant
"Make it professional"	`taste-skill`	Variance 6, density 4, neutral palette
"Make it modern SaaS"	`taste-skill` + `mrgoonie-design-system`	Token architecture, component specs
"Redesign/upgrade this"	`redesign-skill`	Audit existing → targeted fixes → polish

Universal Rules (Always Apply)

Regardless of which skills are routed:

ALWAYS load taste-skill as baseline anti-slop protection (banned fonts, colors, patterns)
ALWAYS load output-skill to prevent lazy/truncated output
Check redesign-skill if upgrading an existing project
Check mrgoonie-ui-ux-pro-max for accessibility and UX validation
Use stitch-skill when generating DESIGN.md for external tools (Stitch, Figma prompts)

Execution Protocol


1. READ the user's request
2. IDENTIFY project type + industry + aesthetic
3. MATCH against routing matrix
4. LOAD the primary skill's full SKILL.md
5. SCAN secondary skills for relevant sections only
6. APPLY universal rules (taste-skill baseline + output-skill)
7. BUILD with the combined intelligence

Frequently asked questions

What does the Design Router AI skill do?

Why use Design Router on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Payoss/UIUX-high-taste-skill/tree/master/skills/design-router. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Design Router?

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 Router?

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

Is the Design Router AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by Payoss. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
