redesign

Upgrade an existing website or app to premium quality without breaking functionality. Audit the current design, identify generic/AI tells, then apply taste and system rules surgically. Use when the user wants to improve, modernize, polish, or "make better" an existing UI/codebase.

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 plugin87 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Redesign 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/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/redesign
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/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills.git /tmp/ux-ui-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ux-ui-agent-skills/.claude/skills/redesign .claude/skills/redesign

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Redesign 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 Redesign 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 Redesign 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.

Skill: Redesign & Audit

Step 0: is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once: ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING On KIT_MISSING only the skill folders were installed, which is what npx skills add does. Say so plainly, point the user at npx ux-ui-agent-skills init or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the contents of a file you could not open.

Audit-first redesign that preserves behavior.

Steps

Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../workflows/redesign-audit.md (the full Scan → Diagnose → Direct → Apply → Verify sequence + Output Completeness).
Scan the codebase: framework, styling method (→ route to the matching ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../frameworks/ adapter), token reality, components, what must be preserved.
Diagnose with the Banned Defaults checklist (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../taste/design-taste.md) + the review rubric (design-review skill). Produce a prioritized findings table.
Direct: choose an archetype/system (apply-aesthetic skill) that fits the brand.
Apply in order (tokens first, then typography/spacing, then component states, then motion) without changing routes/data/markup semantics (except a11y fixes).
Verify: re-run design-review + a11y-audit; smoke-test every previously working flow; dark mode + responsive spot-check. Run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/validate_contrast.py on the token source and ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/lint_hardcodes.py over the changed code.

Guardrails

Never sacrifice a working feature for aesthetics. Never ship a brand color that fails contrast. Never remove existing accessibility affordances. Deliver complete files, no placeholders.

Single-theme consistency (critical for multi-page apps)

Consolidate to ONE shared token theme and make every page consume it. A redesign that leaves different pages on different palettes has failed. Replace per-page/ad-hoc colors with semantic tokens; verify with ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/lint_hardcodes.py that no page reintroduces off-theme values. Theme switches must come from the single token source, not page edits (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../.claude/rules/tokens-and-color.md → Single-Theme Consistency).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Redesign AI skill do?

Why use Redesign on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/redesign. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Redesign?

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 Redesign?

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

Is the Redesign AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by plugin87 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.
