Overview

Design-It: Sophisticated UI Style Router

A router skill that fuzzy-matches a UI request to one of 48 opinionated design styles and one of 10 award-winning color palettes, applied via the 60-30-10 rule across Web and native app implementations. Use it whenever a frontend interface should get a deliberate, named aesthetic instead of generic default styling; read the chosen style's own SKILL.md before executing.

What it does

Design-It is the main entry point for the design-it skill system, giving access to 48 distinct, deeply opinionated design styles instead of falling back to generic "AI slop" aesthetics. When a user asks to build a frontend interface, it fuzzy-matches keywords in the request to a specific style using semantic understanding rather than requiring an exact name - "Apple style" or "VisionOS" maps to spatial-design, bento-ui, or glassmorphism; "Windows 8" or "Metro" maps to tile-design; "Terminal" or "Hacker" maps to sci-fi-interface or brutalist-typography; "Bauhaus" or "Clean" maps to swiss-design; "Cyber" or "Matrix" maps to cyberpunk-ui. If no style is specified, it picks the one that best fits the project context.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when a user requests building any frontend interface - website, app screen, or UI component - and a specific, opinionated aesthetic should replace generic defaults. Do not blend styles unless explicitly requested.

Inputs and outputs

The 48 styles are organized into seven categories: Modern UI (minimalism, flat-design, flat-design-2, material-design, glassmorphism, neumorphism, skeuomorphism, claymorphism, aurora-ui, bento-ui), Depth & 3D (3d-ui, isometric-design, layered-design, floating-ui, spatial-design), Typography (swiss-design, editorial-design, typography-first, brutalist-typography), Retro & Historical (brutalism, neo-brutalism, retro-design, y2k-design, cyber-y2k, vaporwave, synthwave, frutiger-aero, retro-futurism), Modern Trends (dark-mode, monochromatic-ui, gradient-design, duotone-design, color-blocking, soft-pastel, high-contrast, vibrant-maximalism, maximalism), Futuristic (cyberpunk-ui, sci-fi-interface, holographic-ui, ai-native-ui, spatial-computing-ui), and Data & Product (dashboard-design, card-based-design, widget-based-design, tile-design, data-dense-design, command-center-ui). Once a style is chosen, its specific SKILL.md file must be read at its relative path before executing.

Integrations

If the user didn't specify colors, one of 10 award-winning universal palettes must be used with exact hex codes as CSS variables (Yacht Club nautical elegance, Desert Mirage warm/organic, Industrial Chic strong/minimalist, Monochromatic Brown comfort/nostalgic, Earth-Grounded Elegance calm/sustainable, Minimalist Slate professional/tech, Midnight Luxury premium dark mode, Sophisticated Neutral upscale, Warm Tech corporate/modern, Modern Editorial magazine/high-contrast), applied via the 60-30-10 rule: 60% backgrounds/secondary base, 30% primary text/accents, 10% CTA/highlights. Web implementations (React/Vue/HTML) use native CSS variables, grid/flexbox layout, and CSS transitions for hover states; app implementations (React Native/Flutter/SwiftUI) map palettes to the framework's theme engine and use platform-specific shadows/elevation and animations instead of CSS transitions, while keeping the core visual principles.

Who it's for

Developers and designers building a frontend interface who want a deliberate, named aesthetic direction with a sophisticated color system, instead of defaulting to generic gradients and neutral styling. It functions as the dispatcher for the entire design-it family - each of the 48 individual style skills (3d-ui, brutalism, cyberpunk-ui, and the rest) is meant to be loaded through this router's fuzzy-matching and style index rather than invoked standalone.

Design-It: Sophisticated UI Style Router

This is the main entry point for the design-it skill system. Instead of falling back to generic "AI slop" aesthetics, you have access to 48 distinct, deeply opinionated design styles.

When to Use

Use this skill when a user requests building any frontend interface (website, app screen, UI component) and you want to apply a specific, opinionated design aesthetic instead of generic defaults.

How to Use This Skill

When a user asks you to build a frontend interface (web or app):

  1. Identify the Style (Fuzzy Matching): Look for keywords in their prompt (e.g., "minimal", "glass", "retro"). You do not need an exact match. Use your semantic understanding to map their request to one of the 48 styles. For example:
    • "Apple style" or "VisionOS" -> spatial-design, bento-ui, or glassmorphism
    • "Windows 8" or "Metro" -> tile-design
    • "Terminal" or "Hacker" -> sci-fi-interface or brutalist-typography
    • "Bauhaus" or "Clean" -> swiss-design
    • "Cyber" or "Matrix" -> cyberpunk-ui
      If they don't specify a style, choose one that best fits the project context.
  2. Read the Style Reference: Check the Style Index below to find the correct path for the chosen style. Use the view_file tool to read its specific SKILL.md.
  3. Pick a Palette: If the user explicitly defined a theme or colors, use their requested colors. If they did NOT specify colors, you MUST choose from one of the 10 Universal Palettes below.
  4. Execute: Write the code following the specific principles of the chosen style. Do not blend styles unless requested.

Universal Color Palettes

If the user provides their own colors, use them. Otherwise, you MUST use one of these 10 award-winning, highly sophisticated palettes to avoid generic neon/purplish gradients. When picking a palette, stick to these exact hex codes and establish CSS variables for them.

Web vs App Implementation

  • Web (React/Vue/HTML): Use CSS variables natively. Prioritize CSS grid/flexbox for layout. Use CSS transitions for hover states.
  • App (React Native/Flutter/SwiftUI): Map the palettes to the framework's theme engine. Use platform-specific shadows (elevation) and animations instead of CSS transitions. Maintain the core visual principles while adapting to mobile constraints.

Limitations

  • This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or safety boundaries are missing.
