Agent skills that keep AI coding tools on a design process

What it is. A GitHub repository from julianoczkowski holding a collection of agent skills aimed at designers who prototype and build with AI coding assistants. Each skill encodes a stage of a design process, so the AI follows a deliberate path rather than generating whatever seems plausible in the moment.

What it plugs into. Agent-based coding tools that accept custom skills or rules, the most common being Cursor. If your tool can load external skill definitions or system-level instructions, these files are meant to slot in there.

Why it helps. AI coding assistants are genuinely fast, but left to their own judgment they tend to skip straight to implementation and skip everything a designer actually cares about: information hierarchy, interaction states, component structure. These skills act as a guardrail, prompting the AI to work through those questions in order. The result is output that is closer to a considered design artifact and further from a pile of plausible-looking code.

How to set it up. Clone or download the repository, then load the skill files into your agent tool according to that tool’s instructions. In Cursor, that typically means dropping the relevant files into your project’s rules directory and referencing them in your setup. The repository is the guide here, so read through it before assuming which files go where.

Limits. With 295 stars it is still a small, personal project, which means documentation is lean and maintenance depends entirely on one person. How well the skills translate across different tools beyond Cursor is untested territory. And no set of prompt rules fully compensates for an AI that does not understand your specific design context, so expect to refine these for your own workflow rather than treat them as a finished system.
