Brand Design Md

brand-design-md

Looks up the design spec (a DESIGN.md of colors, type weights, letter-spacing, radii, shadows) for well-known brands such as Stripe, Linear, Apple, Figma, Notion and Nike from getdesign.md at runtime, then applies it to your project. The installed skill is written in Chinese but accepts English brand names.

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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by podo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Brand Design Md 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/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/brand-design-md
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/podo/design-agent-skills.git /tmp/design-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-agent-skills/skills/brand-design-md .claude/skills/brand-design-md

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Brand Design Md 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 Brand Design Md 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 Brand Design Md 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.

Catalogue stub — full skill: SpaceZephyr/brand-design-md

Decision tree

Is the full skill already installed?
- Global: f=~/.agents/skills/brand-design-md/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- Project: f=.agents/skills/brand-design-md/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- installed → the skill is installed as brand-design-md, invoke it and proceed
- pointer → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:

bash
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/brand-design-md ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

Global:

bash
npx skills add SpaceZephyr/brand-design-md --skill brand-design-md -g -y

Project:

bash
npx skills add SpaceZephyr/brand-design-md --skill brand-design-md -y

Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Heads-up

Requires: Node.js and network access at use time (the skill runs npx getdesign@latest add <brand>, which downloads and executes an unpinned third-party npm package)
License: no LICENSE file

Invoke after install

Skill name: brand-design-md
Trigger phrases: "brand tokens", "brand design", "match Stripe design", "62 brands", "brand-design-md"

What it does

Maps a brand name (Chinese or English, e.g. "做成 Stripe 的感觉", "make it feel like Linear") to a slug in its brand registry, runs npx getdesign@latest add <slug> in a temp directory to fetch that brand's DESIGN.md from getdesign.md, and then generates UI code that follows the exact values in it (colors, type scale, spacing, border-radius, shadows). It can blend several brands ("Notion colors + Linear typography"). Useful for demos, pitch material or brand-matched prototypes without manual research.

Two things to know before using it: the skill's own instructions are written in Chinese, and it executes an unpinned third-party npm package (getdesign@latest) at use time, so it needs Node.js and network access.

When NOT to use

When you need to develop a custom brand identity from scratch (this skill matches existing brands, not creates new ones)
When none of the registry brands match your target (use design-consultation to build a bespoke system)
When brand token accuracy is legally or contractually sensitive (always verify tokens against official brand guidelines)
When running an unpinned npx package at use time is not acceptable in your environment

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 Brand Design Md AI skill do?

Why use Brand Design Md on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/brand-design-md. 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 Brand Design Md?

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 Brand Design Md?

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

Is the Brand Design Md AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by podo 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.
