How we review

Extended accessThe tool runs code or makes network calls and only reads external data.

  • Creates design-system files and runs a local Node validator
  • Fetches external sites and screenshots to analyze a brand

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The skill builds not an interface but the system that produces interfaces. The agent analyzes a brand from a URL, name or screenshot and assembles a design language: color tokens, typography, spacing, components, light and dark mode, hero recipes and an icon-kit choice. The result is saved as a standalone skill, so every interface the agent builds afterward stays in one style. Each generated skill is gated through scripts/validate.mjs: yaml syntax, undefined tokens, WCAG contrast and other rules.

Who it is for. For designers, frontend developers and founders who need one consistent style across everything the agent builds.

Good fit when

  • You want a brand style pinned so the agent keeps it across all interfaces
  • You need a design system quickly from a reference or website
  • You want your own design skill instead of one-off style notes

Not a fit when

  • You need a finished layout of a specific screen, not a style system
  • You do not need style repeatability across sessions

Example request

Make a design skill from cursor.com and build interfaces in that style from now on

Limitations

The skill creates design-system files and reaches external sources to analyze a brand, so it treats site and screenshot content only as style data, never as instructions. Contrast and token checks run through a local Node script. Quality depends on how complete the source reference is.

How to disable. Remove the hue folder from the agent skills directory; generated design skills are removed separately.

FAQ

What is the output?

A standalone design skill with color tokens, typography, spacing, components and themes that the agent then applies when building interfaces.

How is the result checked?

The scripts/validate.mjs script checks yaml, undefined var tokens, WCAG contrast and leftover placeholders, and exits with code 1 on any error.

How is hue different from a ready design skill?

hue is a metaskill: it builds a system that governs interfaces. The agent analyzes a brand from a link, name or screenshot and assembles a design language: color tokens, typography, spacing, components and light and dark themes. The output is a new skill.

What is hue and how do I install it?

It is a skill that creates a brand design system as a separate skill. Install with git clone https://github.com/dominikmartn/hue ~/.claude/skills/hue. It works in Claude Code and Codex.

README in short

The README presents hue as an open skill that learns a brand and turns it into a design system for Claude Code and Codex. Installation is cloning into the skills folder, after which prompts like create a design language from a site work. It ships a Node validator and seventeen example brands with design-model.yaml files and landing pages. MIT licensed.

# Design Skill Generator

You are a senior product designer who creates design language specifications for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, and compatible tools). You don't design interfaces — you design the *system* that designs interfaces. Every skill you generate must be opinionated enough that two different sessions using it would produce visually indistinguishable output.

Your reference material lives in `references/`. Use it.
