Skills for Designers: UI, UX and Graphic Work
Skills for designers cover the full arc of design work, which alternates between diverging and converging: research and discovery to understand the people and the problem, defining the problem sharply enough that a solution can be judged, ideation to generate more than one direction before committing, visual design for type, color, imagery, and hierarchy, prototyping so a version can be clicked and tested, handoff so engineering can build without guessing, and design systems so later screens do not reinvent the first one. Use the ranked list by locating the phase you are in right now, not the phase you wish you were in. Read the top few entries in that sub-topic, compare what each one actually does, and pick the one that matches the artifact you need to produce next.

Start with these.
Design work alternates diverge/converge: discover the problem, define it, explore solutions, then make and hand off something buildable.
These are the closest matches for this work. Start with the first one and open it to install.

figma-generate-library
OfficialBuild or update a professional-grade design system in Figma from a codebase. Use when the user wants to create variables/tokens, build component libraries, set up theming (light/dark modes), document foundations, or reconcile gaps between code and Figma. This skill teaches WHAT to build and in WHAT ORDER — it complements the `figma-use` skill which teaches HOW to call the Plugin API. Both skills should be loaded together.
- Rank 02View Agent SkillDirect
penpot-build-screen
OfficialDesign production-grade screens in Penpot from a brief, as a senior visual designer — reusing the existing design system (tokens + components) and assembling section by section, never one-shot. Use to create a screen/page/landing/dashboard from a description. NOT for translating existing code (use penpot-build-from-code). Triggers: 'design a dashboard', 'create a landing page', 'design this app screen', 'build a UI from this brief', 'design a settings page', 'mock up a screen in Penpot'.
- Rank 03View Agent SkillDirect
penpot-document-handoff
OfficialDocument a Penpot design for handoff by building a clean annotation layer BESIDE the design (never on top of it): a left context card (the 'How might we' goal, business rules, links, status, feedback wanted/not), numbered pin markers on the UI, matching observation/recommendation note cards on the right, and optional tooltips — all wrapped in a single hideable group so the clean design can be revealed. Reuses an annotation component kit + tokens if present; proposes and creates a minimal one if missing. NOT for auditing (use penpot-audit-*) or renaming layers (use penpot-rename-layers). Triggers: 'document this design', 'annotate this screen', 'prepare this for handoff', 'add design annotations', 'explain this flow for devs', 'add observation notes', 'create a critique card', 'spec this screen for handoff'.

figma-generate-design
OfficialUse this skill alongside figma-use when the task involves translating an application page, view, or multi-section layout into Figma. Triggers: 'write to Figma', 'create in Figma from code', 'push page to Figma', 'take this app/page and build it in Figma', 'create a screen', 'build a landing page in Figma', 'update the Figma screen to match code'. This is the preferred workflow skill whenever the user wants to build or update a full page, screen, or view in Figma from code or a description. Discovers design system components, variables, and styles via search_design_system, imports them, and assembles screens incrementally section-by-section using design system tokens instead of hardcoded values.
- Rank 12View Agent SkillDirect
penpot-audit-tokens
OfficialAudit a Penpot design for design-system / token GOVERNANCE issues (distinct from accessibility): hardcoded colors where a token exists, off-grid spacing, orphan/unresolved/unused tokens, duplicated values, and detached parts that should be component instances. Produces a severity report and suggests semantic-token swaps. Triggers: 'audit tokens', 'find hardcoded colors', 'token governance', 'check design system consistency', 'find off-grid spacing', 'detect raw values', 'are we using tokens correctly'.

What this topic covers
Each sub-topic groups Agent Skills for a specific situation.
- Research & discovery
- Learn about the people and the problem before drawing screens.
- Define the problem
- Name the problem sharply enough that a solution can be judged.
- Ideation
- Generate more than one direction before committing.
- Visual design
- How it looks: type, color, imagery, and hierarchy.
- Prototyping
- A version people can click so the idea can be tested.
- Handoff
- Give engineering enough to build it without guessing.
- Design systems
- Shared parts so later screens do not reinvent the first one.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this list ordered?
- It is ranked by observed search demand, with direct matches to the topic placed first and a cap on how many entries any single publisher can occupy.
- Where should I start if I am early in a project?
- Start with research and discovery, then define the problem. Naming the problem sharply is what makes any later solution judgeable.
- Can one skill cover the whole design process?
- The sub-topics split along the diverge/converge rhythm: discover and define the problem, explore directions, then make and hand off something buildable. Pick the skill that matches the phase you are in rather than expecting one to span all of them.
- What should I look at before choosing between two similar skills?
- Compare the artifact each one produces against what you need next, whether that is a clickable prototype, a handoff spec, or a shared component set.
How to install an Agent Skill
Start with the first skill on this page. Claude Code reads a SKILL.md once it is in the skills directory:
- Claude Code — copy the SKILL.md for figma-generate-library into ~/.claude/skills/figma-generate-library/ for yourself, or .claude/skills/figma-generate-library/ to share it with a project.
- From the registry — run npx skills add openai/skills@figma-generate-library.
- Or download figma-generate-library from its source and place that SKILL.md in the directory above.
How to choose Check the source and the skill’s own instructions before you install. Official and Notable describe where a skill comes from.
