Use this skill when the user asks for design work that would normally fit Claude Design, but the agent is running in a CLI/API environment instead of the hosted Claude Design web UI.
The goal is to preserve Claude Design's useful design behavior and taste while removing hosted-tool plumbing that does not exist in normal agent environments.
Before starting, check for other web-design skills like popular-web-designs (ready-to-paste design systems for Stripe, Linear, Vercel, Notion, etc.) and design-md (Google's DESIGN.md token spec format). If the user wants a known brand's look, load popular-web-designs alongside this one and let it supply the visual vocabulary. If the deliverable is a token spec file rather than a rendered artifact, use design-md instead. Full decision table below.
Hermes has three design-related skills under skills/creative/. They do different jobs — load the right one (or combine them):
| Skill | What it gives you | Use when the user wants... |
|---|---|---|
| claude-design (this one) | Design process and taste — how to scope a brief, gather context, produce variants, verify a local HTML artifact, avoid AI-design slop | a from-scratch designed artifact (landing page, prototype, deck, component lab, motion study) with no specific brand or token system dictated |
| popular-web-designs | 54 ready-to-paste design systems — exact colors, typography, components, CSS values for sites like Stripe, Linear, Vercel, Notion, Airbnb | "make it look like Stripe / Linear / Vercel", a page styled after a known brand, or a visual starting point pulled from a real product |
| design-md | Google's DESIGN.md spec format — author/validate/diff/export design-token files, WCAG contrast checking, Tailwind/DTCG export | a formal, persistent, machine-readable design-system spec file (tokens + rationale) that lives in a repo and gets consumed by agents over time |
Rule of thumb:
- Process + taste, one-off artifact → claude-design
- Match a known brand's look → popular-web-designs (and let claude-design drive the process)
- Author the tokens spec itself → design-md
These compose: use popular-web-designs for the visual vocabulary, claude-design for how to turn a brief into a thoughtful local HTML file, and design-md when the output is the token file rather than a rendered artifact.
You are running in CLI/API mode, not the Claude Design hosted web UI.
Ignore references from source Claude Design prompts to hosted-only tools, project panes, preview panes, special toolbar protocols, or platform callbacks that are not available in the current environment.
