Design Agent Skills

Runs workflows for authoring agent skills — SKILL.md structure, MCP pairing, Langfuse lessons, progressive disclosure, validation. Use when the user writes skills, combines MCP+skills, or says "agent skills", "SKILL.md", "context gap".

File contents

Design agent skills

Action playbook from three AI Engineer / World's Fair talks. Do not summarize talks — pick a workflow and execute it.

Supporting files (read when needed):

workflows.md — workflows A–C (steps, deliverables, stop conditions)
source-index.md — src-NNN → talk learnings in ingest-into-skills

Optional: {SKILL_OUTPUT_DIR}/design-agent-skills/

Step 0 — Pick workflow

Use the decision tree below. Open the matching section in workflows.md.

What is the user trying to do?
├─ Author first skill (structure + triggers)            → A
├─ Pair skills with MCP for live data                   → B
└─ Skill-up coding agents on complex devtools           → C

Stop summarizing once a workflow is identified — run its checklist.

Install

cp -r skills/design-agent-skills ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r skills/design-agent-skills ~/.cursor/skills/
cp -r skills/design-agent-skills ~/.codex/skills/

From skills-i-use or ingest-into-skills (playlists/skills-ai-engineer/).
