What it does
The set is distilled from Karl Koch's writing on design engineering, fluid interfaces, semantic markup and judging AI output. Narrow skills such as `dxe-fluid-design`, `dxe-modern-css-html`, `dxe-semantic-html-first`, `dxe-apple-native-ui` and `dxe-subtractive-design` give separate lenses. The main `dxe` skill runs a pass in order: intent, platform, feel, a bridge between design and code, and shipping. It gathers evidence from the repository and the rendered interface and loads specialists as needed. The `dxe quick`, `dxe review`, `dxe fix` and `dxe exhaustive` modes set the depth; Figma Design and Make have separate self-contained files.
Who it is for. Front-end developers and design engineers who ask an agent to review an interface and propose edits grounded in one specific school.
Good fit when
- Before release a review of components across real states, errors and focus is needed.
- Animations feel jerky and should become interruptible and physical.
- A page markup must move to semantic HTML and modern CSS.
- A portfolio is prepared for hiring and needs a rated list of priority edits.
Not a fit when
- Exact automated accessibility checks against WCAG are required.
- The interface already follows a design system with a strict regulation of its own.
- The task concerns backend or data.
Example request
Run `dxe quick` on `src/components/Menu` and list findings with confidence levels, without edits.Limitations
The repository is a personal set: texts reflect one author's views, so weigh conclusions against your requirements. `dxe exhaustive` needs all specialists from the routing table installed, otherwise the pass reports the gap. Edits in `dxe fix` are limited to confident changes and the rest comes as a report. Figma editions are uploaded manually, and the installer sets only the regular editions. The recommendations rest on the author's views and do not replace testing the interface with real users.
How to disable. Remove skills with `npx skills remove` or the standard way of your client, and delete Figma editions from uploaded skills. Edits the agent made through `dxe fix` roll back through Git.
FAQ
How does `dxe` differ from the narrow skills?
`dxe` coordinates a pass and loads specialists as evidence appears. The narrow skills are invoked separately and give one lens.
Does `dxe` edit code?
Not by default. `dxe` and `dxe review` give a report, and only `dxe fix` makes bounded high-confidence edits.
Which modes exist?
`dxe quick` for one surface, `dxe <path>` for a scope, `dxe review`, `dxe fix` and `dxe exhaustive`; the last reads every routed specialist.
What about Figma?
Self-contained files with the same names sit in `figma/skills/` for Figma Design and Make; upload them as skills manually.
How many skills are there?
`skills/` holds `dxe` and nineteen specialists such as `dxe-fluid-design`, `dxe-semantic-html-first` and `dxe-subtractive-design`. Separate Figma editions live in `figma/skills/`.

README in short
The set shows how a personal design engineering school becomes repeatable passes. There is a choice between the broad `dxe` and individual specialists, and a pass discloses its own limits.
