claude-wireframe-skill

Generates 5 UX design approaches as interactive prototypes — 1 safe design-system extension and 4 exploratory variants — starting as B&W wireframes then producing color variants via parallel agents. Scans codebase on first run to build persistent design context.

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 Claude Wireframe Skill 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/claude-wireframe-skill
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/claude-wireframe-skill .claude/skills/claude-wireframe-skill

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Claude Wireframe Skill 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 Claude Wireframe Skill 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 Claude Wireframe Skill 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: Magdoub/claude-wireframe-skill

Decision tree

Is the full skill already installed? Upstream names this skill wireframe, so it installs next to this pointer (the pointer is not replaced).
- Global: f=~/.agents/skills/wireframe/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- Project: f=.agents/skills/wireframe/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- installed → the skill is installed as wireframe, invoke it and proceed
- pointer → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:

bash
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/claude-wireframe-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

Global:

bash
npx skills add Magdoub/claude-wireframe-skill --skill wireframe -g -y

Project:

bash
npx skills add Magdoub/claude-wireframe-skill --skill wireframe -y

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

Heads-up

License: MIT
Name collision: wireframe is also written by wireframe-skill (its install or its catalogue pointer); installing both overwrites the earlier one.

Invoke after install

Skill name: wireframe
Trigger phrases: "claude-wireframe-skill", "5 UX approaches", "exploratory wireframe", "Magdoub wireframe"

What it does

Launches a multi-agent wireframing workflow that produces 5 distinct UX design approaches for any given UI problem: 1 safe variant that extends the existing design system and 4 exploratory variants that challenge conventions. The skill first scans the codebase to extract persistent design context (colors, components, patterns), then produces black-and-white wireframes before generating color variants in parallel. Useful when you need divergent thinking, not just a single best guess. On first run it asks for screenshots of your current app and writes a wireframe/ folder (design-taste and design-context files plus the generated HTML) into the project root.

When NOT to use

Single wireframe output — use wireframer, or wireframe-skill (a different skill that installs into the same wireframe directory, so keep only one of the two)
Excalidraw diagrams — use excalidraw-diagram instead
When you want a fast single-pass result without parallel agent overhead

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 Claude Wireframe Skill AI skill do?

Why use Claude Wireframe Skill on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Claude Wireframe Skill 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 Claude Wireframe Skill in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/claude-wireframe-skill. 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 Claude Wireframe Skill?

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 Claude Wireframe Skill?

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

Is the Claude Wireframe Skill 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.
