## What it does

A comprehensive designer toolkit by Marie Claire Dean comprising 91 skills, 9 plugins, and 28 commands organized into 9 domains: design-research (12 skills — user research, synthesis, interviews), design-systems (11 — tokens, components, governance), ux-strategy (11 — product strategy, information architecture), ui-design (14 — layout, visual design, responsive), interaction-design (15 — microinteractions, flows, prototypes), prototyping-testing (8 — usability, A/B, validation), design-ops (9 — process, tooling, handoff), designer-toolkit (7 — workflow utilities), and visual-critique (4 — design critique frameworks).

## When NOT to use

- Single-skill needs — installing the full suite may be heavier than needed
- If you only need design review — use `plan-design-review` or `creative-director`
