Superdesign Skill

AI design agent for infinite-canvas ideation inside the IDE — searches design prompts, extracts brand guides, creates projects, and iterates on design drafts. Works via the @superdesign/cli package which must be installed globally first.

Catalogue stub — full platform: superdesigndev/superdesign-skill

Account / environment requirement

@superdesign/cli must be installed globally. The skill communicates with the SuperDesign canvas via the CLI bridge — without it, skill invocation will fail.

Install methods

Step	Command
1. Install SuperDesign CLI	`npm install -g @superdesign/cli@latest`
2. Install the Claude skill	`npx skills add superdesigndev/superdesign-skill`
3. Launch the canvas	`superdesign` (opens browser canvas)

Decision tree

Is @superdesign/cli installed? Run superdesign --version.
- No → install it: npm install -g @superdesign/cli@latest
- Yes → go to step 2.
Is the skill installed? Check ~/.design-agent-skills/skills/superdesign-skill/SKILL.md.
- No → npx skills add superdesigndev/superdesign-skill
- Yes → invoke superdesign-skill and proceed.
Is the canvas running? Open superdesign in a terminal if not already open.

What it does

Brings an infinite-canvas design workspace directly into the IDE agent loop. The agent can search a library of design prompts, extract brand identity from existing assets, create new design projects, and iterate on design drafts with immediate visual feedback in the browser canvas. Suited for open-ended ideation sessions where spatial organization of design variants matters.

When NOT to use

Without the SuperDesign CLI installed — the skill has no fallback rendering path
Standard UI code generation without ideation overhead — use a component-generation skill instead
Headless or server environments without a browser
