What it does
The skill gives the agent a design process: it reads the project code for context, gathers style references and produces UI drafts on an infinite canvas. Work runs through the superdesign CLI, which the agent calls to search the prompt library, extract a site's style and generate drafts. Beyond pages and flows it builds presentations from an approved slide outline and graphics like posters and covers. Drafts can be branched and refined, and across sessions the skill remembers the project and extracted components.
Who it is for. For developers and product designers who want polished UI without leaving their coding agent.
Good fit when
- The agent shipped generic UI and it needs a considered look
- You need a design system extracted from the current codebase
- You need a presentation or graphics from an approved plan rather than random slides
Not a fit when
- The session has no shell access, and the superdesign CLI runs only over the shell
- You only need code without a canvas design step
Example request
Help me redesign this settings page so it doesn't look templatedLimitations
The skill runs through the superdesign CLI, which needs shell command execution, installing @superdesign/cli and signing in with superdesign login. Some models and features belong to the superdesign.dev service. Without shell access the skill cannot run.
How to disable. Remove the superdesign plugin via /plugin or the skill folder, and optionally uninstall the global @superdesign/cli package.
FAQ
Do I need an account?
Yes. The skill drives the superdesign CLI, which needs @superdesign/cli installed and superdesign login.
Is this the old VS Code extension?
No. The open-source superdesign VS Code extension is a separate, legacy project; this skill and superdesign.dev are the maintained ones.

README in short
The README describes a skill that gives coding agents design judgment: the agent finds a style direction, sets up a design system, and generates and iterates UI, slides and graphics on a canvas. It reads the project code, gathers real references and makes branchable drafts. Unlike theme-swap skills, it designs inside your existing design system. It installs with one npx skills add command for many agents or as a Claude Code plugin, and needs the CLI installed and a login. MIT licensed.

Original SKILL.md
--- name: superdesign description: "Design or redesign frontend UI, presentations, and graphics on the Superdesign canvas with a choice of leading AI models. Use whenever the user wants to design a page, feature, flow, slide deck, or brand-new product; improve or reproduce existing UI; compare design results across top models; explore visual variants; set or extract a design system; build reusable components or multi-page flows; create presentations; or create posters and marketing graphics, even if they never say the word 'design tool'. Also supports generating supporting image or video assets when a design needs them." --- Superdesign helps you find design inspiration and generate or iterate design drafts on an infinite canvas, with multiple leading models available for different design tasks and side-by-side exploration. When a design needs a new visual asset, it can also provide image and video generation. # Core scenarios (what this skill handles) 1. Analyze a codebase for design work 2. Design, reproduce, or improve UI 3. Choose and compare leading design models 4. Create design systems and reusable components 5. Design from a live website or reference URL 6. Create or export presentations 7. Create graphics 8. Generate supporting images or video 9. Continue or directly correct existing work
