web-design: A Claude Code SKILL for Spec-First Web Page Design

Introduction

The web-design repository introduces a powerful Claude Code SKILL aimed at revolutionizing web page design. This innovative tool prioritizes a 'spec first, code second' methodology, allowing users to define design specifications before generating any code. It takes various inputs like a Product Requirement Document (PRD), a reference URL, or even a screenshot, to understand design cues and produce a comprehensive DESIGN.md document.

Why Use It and Key Benefits

One of the primary advantages of web-design is its ability to produce a readable, editable, and portable DESIGN.md specification. This document covers nine sections, including color, typography, components, layout, motion, and accessibility, ensuring a holistic design approach. By strictly following this approved spec, the SKILL then generates web code that results in consistent UI, visuals, motion, and responsiveness across all pages. This approach not only ensures high-quality output but also makes the design portable across different AI tools and easily editable by hand.

Installation

To install the web-design SKILL, clone the repository into your Claude Code skills directory. Claude Code will automatically discover the SKILL the next time you start a session.

git clone https://github.com/xiaopu-ai/web-design ~/.claude/skills/web-design

Examples

You can explore a live demo of the web-design SKILL in action by visiting its GitHub Pages site. Additionally, you can run the landing page locally to see how it functions.

To run the landing page locally:

cd web-design/docs
python3 -m http.server 8000
# open http://localhost:8000

Note that opening index.html directly with file:// might not work due to dependencies requiring an HTTP origin.
