What it does
- Drives the Superdesign CLI to create projects and stream design drafts onto an infinite canvas, with preview and canvas links surfaced back to you.
- When a real codebase exists, it first analyzes the repo into
.superdesign/init/(components, layouts, routes, theme tokens, page dependency trees) and uses that context to reproduce or redesign existing screens. - For greenfield work it gathers the brief conversationally (audience, platform, brand style, references) instead of pretending to analyze an empty folder.
- Extracts a reference site's design DNA from a URL to create or refresh
design-system.md. - Handles static artwork (posters, thumbnails, social/ad creatives) through a separate fixed-canvas workflow with platform dimension presets.
Who it's for
- Frontend engineers and designers who want multiple on-brand UI variants grounded in their real code.
- Teams standardizing a design system or borrowing style direction from a live site.
- Solo makers and marketers who need correctly sized promo graphics fast.
Examples
- "Redesign the settings page in this repo" → repo init runs, the current page is reproduced as ground truth, then variants appear on the canvas.
- "Build a landing page inspired by linear.app" →
extract-websitepulls tokens and structure, seeds the design system, then generates drafts. - "Make an Instagram story for our launch" → skips repo init, generates a key visual, and composes the artwork at the right canvas size.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/superdesign folder from the GitHub repo superdesigndev/superdesign-skill into my ~/.claude/skills/superdesign/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/superdesigndev/superdesign-skill.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r superdesign-skill/skills/superdesign ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/superdesigndev/superdesign-skill.git - Create the Claude skills directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill in:
cp -r superdesign-skill/skills/superdesign ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm the
references/files (SUPERDESIGN.md, INIT.md, GRAPHIC.md, WEBSITE.md) came along. - Make sure Node.js is installed, then run
npx --yes @superdesign/cli@latestand read theauth:status line. - If it says not authenticated, run
npx --yes @superdesign/cli@latest loginand finish the browser flow. - Restart Claude Code and try a prompt like "design a pricing page for this project" to trigger the skill.
