Design MD
Overview
This skill wraps the local awesome-design-md library at C:\Users\koubinyue\.codex\awesome-design-md\design-md. Use it to choose a style, load the matching DESIGN.md, and keep the resulting UI consistent.
Workflow
- Identify the style request.
- Exact brand or product: use that folder directly.
- Abstract vibe or a Chinese-language request: translate it into concise English design terms, then run the search script.
- Search when needed:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Users\koubinyue\.codex\skills\design-md\scripts\find-design.ps1 -Query "<query>"
- Tell the user which template you picked and why.
- Read the selected
DESIGN.mdbefore building anything. - Inspect
preview.htmlorpreview-dark.htmlonly when layout cues or component tone matter. - If the user also wants actual UI code, pair this skill with
frontend-design.
Selection Rules
- Prefer exact brand matches over loose vibe matches.
- If the search returns several strong candidates, present the best 2-3 with one-line tradeoffs instead of picking silently.
- Keep the chosen style coherent across typography, color, spacing, surface treatment, and motion.
- Recreate the design language, not the protected brand assets. Do not copy logos, trademarks, or proprietary illustrations.
- When the user only wants inspiration or selection help, stop after the shortlist instead of building UI.
