Agent skills for engineers
Ship UI that matches design intent with frontend polish, design systems, Figma MCP, and motion skills for code-first agents. Install once and your agent helps you hand off cleanly and integrate design into production workflows.
Ship polished UI
Ship interfaces that match design intent, not generic agent output.
Frontend Design
Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics with bold typography, color, and spatial composition.
Design Engineering
Emil Kowalski's design engineering skill: UI polish, animation decisions, component patterns, and the invisible details that make interfaces feel right.
Web Interface Guidelines
Review UI code for accessibility, focus states, forms, animation, typography, and performance. Comprehensive checklist from Vercel's design team.
Web Artifacts Builder
Build elaborate, multi-component React artifacts with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui. Full stack for creating production-ready web components and applications.
Build design systems
Tokens, Tailwind patterns, and DESIGN.md-style contracts in code.
Tailwind Design System
Build scalable design systems with Tailwind CSS v4: CSS-first tokens, OKLCH theming, CVA components, dark mode, and v3-to-v4 migration patterns.
Stitch DESIGN.md
Analyze Stitch projects and generate semantic DESIGN.md files from screen metadata, HTML/CSS, and assets. Produces atmosphere, color roles, typography, component styling, and layout principles.
gstack
Fast headless browser for QA testing, deployment verification, and user-flow dogfooding. Navigate pages, interact with elements, diff snapshots, take annotated screenshots, and test responsive layouts, forms, and dialogs.
Implement from Figma
Pull designs into the repo and hand off cleanly to production.
Figma Use
Mandatory prerequisite for Figma MCP: execute Plugin API scripts to create, edit, and inspect nodes, variables, components, and auto-layout. Pairs with design-system screen workflows for implementing designs in Figma.
Figma Generate Design
Build full pages, modals, and multi-section views in Figma from code or descriptions using design system components, variables, and styles. Pairs with Figma Use and Figma MCP.
Design Handoff
Generate developer handoff specs from a design: layout, tokens, component props, states, responsive breakpoints, edge cases, animations, and accessibility.
Prototype with motion
Animation, Remotion, and fast vibe-coded experiments.
Remotion Best Practices
Domain-specific knowledge for Remotion: compositions, animations, sequencing, transitions, video/audio/assets, Lottie, charts, captions, and more.
Vibe Coding
Build software with AI coding tools as a non-traditional developer: prompting patterns, iteration loops, and shipping working prototypes in Cursor or Claude Code.
Find Skills

Frequently asked questions
What are agent skills for engineers?
Agent skills are SKILL.md files that encode engineering and design-engineering standards (UI polish, accessibility, design tokens, Figma MCP, and motion) so agents ship code that matches your bar.
Which engineering skills should I install first?
Start with Frontend Design and Web Interface Guidelines for UI quality. Add Figma Use if you work from designs. Add Vibe Coding for rapid prototyping with guardrails.
