Covers collections from Emil Kowalski (nine skills including Apple design and animation vocabulary), Conrad Lee's garden skill (web design engineer focus), Eliia Design's landing page system, Mangto's award-quality scroll storytelling skills, Jakob Creel's review and layout skills, Tastemaker (pixel-based reference extraction), and a research-backed perception laws collection. Explains how to add these skills to Claude settings and use them via slash commands in Claude Design, Claude Code, or Codex, with a sponsored segment for Make's Maya AI co-worker. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do you add custom skills to Claude Design to improve website design output? Skills are added through Claude settings rather than directly inside Claude Design itself; once added there, the same skills become usable inside Claude Design's interface via a slash command followed by the skill name and a prompt describing the desired site. These skills also work identically with Claude Code, Codex, or other coding agents. _Developers comparing AI design workflows can keep track of new Claude tooling approaches on daily.dev._ ### What does the Tastemaker Claude skill do differently from giving a model a reference image directly? Tastemaker uses scripts to extract exact design details directly from the pixels of a reference image and saves them in a structured format, instead of letting the model convert the image into a lossy text-based summary first. This preserves fine design details and helps generated variations stay consistent across an entire project rather than just one screen. _Anyone evaluating design-focused AI skills can weigh trade-offs like this one on daily.dev._ ### What is the difference between the review skill and the better layout skill in Jakob Creel's Claude skill set? The review skill comprehensively audits a design across areas like animations, accessibility, and responsiveness, and can compare before-and-after states when connected to GitHub to flag what a specific change broke. The better layout skill instead focuses narrowly on spacing and positioning, for example flagging that an element needs a specific number of extra pixels of room. _Teams refining AI-generated UI layouts can track granular tooling comparisons like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [How Claude Skills Replaced Our Documentation](https://daily.dev/posts/how-claude-skills-replaced-our-documentation-lfxb2loug) · DEV · 7 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#ui-design](https://daily.dev/tags/ui-design), [#claude](https://daily.dev/tags/claude), [#vibe-coding](https://daily.dev/tags/vibe-coding) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/insane-claude-design-skills-you-need-to-actually-build-beautiful-sites-ssmu9ar9x) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Insane Claude Design Skills You Need To Actually Build Beautiful Sites","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/insane-claude-design-skills-you-need-to-actually-build-beautiful-sites-ssmu9ar9x","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/insane-claude-design-skills-you-need-to-actually-build-beautiful-sites-ssmu9ar9x"},"datePublished":"2026-08-24T15:22:44.563Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:19:47.458Z","description":"A rundown of Claude 'skills' packages that claim to improve AI-generated web design beyond the default patterns models produce.
