What it does
- Reads a folder of reference UI screenshots/mockups and produces a design system document: color palette, typography scale, button/card/input/icon styles, a 4–48dp spacing system, animation timings, and dark-mode variants.
- Uses your project-idea file to interactively draft an MVP PRD (elevator pitch, problem statement, audience, USP, feature list with user stories, per-screen UX notes).
- Merges design system + PRD into a single implementation-ready UI prompt, checks for an existing React project, then builds multiple variations (3 mobile, 2 web) as separate components plus a showcase page.
- Saves every artifact under
documents/designsanddocuments/ux-designwith timestamps for version tracking.
Who it's for
- Indie developers and founders who want UI that matches the look and feel of a product they admire.
- Frontend developers shipping an MVP without a designer, on React + Tailwind CSS + Lucide icons.
- Teams that want a written, consistent design spec across many screens.
Example uses
- Drop 5 SaaS dashboard screenshots into
reference-images/saas-dashboard/and ask for a project-management app UI in that style — you get the design system, PRD, and final prompt in sequence. - Provide 3 competitor app captures and ask only for extracted colors, fonts, and spacing as a design system doc.
- Already have a PRD? Pass the file to skip step 3 and jump straight to generating 3 mobile and 2 web UI variations.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the ui-designer folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/ui-designer/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/ui-designer ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal in your working directory.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r claude-code-skills/ui-designer ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify that
~/.claude/skills/ui-designer/assets/contains design-system.md, app-overview-generator.md, and vibe-design-template.md. - Restart Claude Code, prepare a reference-image folder and an idea document, then ask: "Extract a design system from these screenshots and build the UI."
- If you have no React project yet, run the suggested
npx create-react-appplus Tailwind CSS andlucide-reactsetup commands first.
