A curated catalog is not a prompt dump

· Design Skills

Desktop showing a curated design system — a short shelf of design skills, not a prompt dump

Search “skills for Cursor” or “Claude design skill” and you get lists. Hundreds of them. Many are the same brief with a different animal in the README.

That is a dump. A dump is useful as a search index. It is a bad place to ask an agent to work.

What we list, and what we don’t

This site is a curated catalog of design and UX skills. Brand, screens, Figma canvas, assets, mockups, decks. If it is on the shelf, someone read the contract.

We also list public GitHub repos, Figma Community files, and a few other catalogs. Those stay upstream. We do not republish their SKILL.md. We do not pretend a star count is a review.

What we do not list: generic “be a senior designer” prompts, unreviewed one-liners, or skills whose output is “whatever the model felt like.”

Short on purpose

A short shelf is a feature. The agent should pick one slug and load one contract. Two hundred markdown files in context is how you get a mashup of every other mashup.

If you publish, the bar is the same as the homepage: named work, listed inputs, listed artifacts. Pitch a public repo on For authors. Listing is not a promise that we will host the run.
