Curated by Skill Harbor — the official @anthropics plugin that makes an agent design like a design-studio lead: deliberate, opinionated choices about palette, typography and layout that read as a specific point of view, never a template. It grounds every design in the brief's subject matter, runs a two-pass process (plan a compact token system — color, type, layout, principles — in ASCII wireframes, then critique it against the brief before writing a single line of code), calls out the five visual clichés of AI-generated pages (warm-cream with terracotta, acid-green-on-black, broadsheet hairlines, the SaaS-card kit, ALL-CAPS eyebrow chrome), and demands restraint — one memorable element, everything else quiet — plus responsive, accessible, keyboard-navigable output and copy written for end users, not systems. Apache-2.0 licensed. Honest notes: this is taste guidance, not components — it won't write your app for you; and its "avoid these defaults" advice should bend to the brief, which always wins. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.
Version:
Install
Prerequisites: nothing to install — the skill is design guidance your agent follows when building or reshaping UI Install "Frontend design: distinctive, intentional visual design guidance (official Anthropic plugin)" for me. It gives my agent @anthropics's official design-lead approach: ground every design in the brief's subject matter, work in two passes (plan a compact token system in ASCII wireframes, critique it against the brief before writing code), avoid the five clichés of AI-generated pages, spend boldness in one place, and ship responsive, accessible, keyboard-navigable UI with end-user copy. Apache-2.0 licensed. Repository: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-plugins-official/blob/main/plugins/frontend-design/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "frontend-design". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. nothing — just ask the agent to apply it on the next UI task). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
