Frontend Design

Is it right for your task?

Use it when

You can describe a product and audience, and want Claude to make deliberate choices about typography, layout, and visual identity while implementing the UI.

Skip it when

You need guaranteed brand compliance, an accessibility certification, or a finished app without reviewing its behavior.

Start simpler

For a small styling correction, give Claude your existing design rules and the specific change. Add the skill when the same design guidance is useful across tasks.

Build a customer-support queue

Example brief. Adapt it to your own test project.

What to expect

Working interface code shaped around the support workflow, plus states you can inspect. This brief and acceptance criteria are editorial examples; no generated output has been benchmarked here.

Check the result

• Tickets can be opened and their status changed through the intended interaction.
• The longest customer name does not overlap the next column.
• At mobile width and keyboard-only navigation, the primary action remains reachable.
• The normal project build and relevant tests pass.

Before you start

• Claude Code and a project you are comfortable letting it edit.
• A brief naming the audience, task, framework, existing design constraints, and required states.
• A browser and the project's normal build/test tools to inspect what Claude creates.

Claude Code

Listed in Anthropic's example-skills marketplace bundle. The bundle includes other skills too.

Other Claude surfaces

This guide covers the Code marketplace path only. It does not establish compatibility for this package in web, Desktop chat, or API usage.

Setup and first use

1. Review the current skill source and marketplace bundle before installation. The install panel uses the published marketplace entry, not the old standalone plugin name.
2. Install the bundle and start a new Claude Code session. Confirm the skill is available before beginning the task.
3. Provide your actual product context and explicitly ask Claude to use frontend-design. Specify states, breakpoints, and any existing design system.
4. Run the resulting interface in a browser, exercise its actions, and check mobile, keyboard access, and the project build before accepting it.

Access, cost, and limits

What access are you granting?

The skill is design guidance. File edits, commands, and external asset access depend on Claude Code's available tools and approvals. Review the whole example-skills bundle before enabling it; installation includes more than this one skill. Disable or uninstall the parent plugin through Claude Code's plugin manager to stop using the bundle. That does not undo changes already made to your project.

What does it cost?

The source is publicly available and includes license terms. Claude usage and any paid assets, services, or hosting are separate. No measured cost or time-saving claim is available.

Limitations to keep in mind

• A visually distinctive result can still have functional or accessibility defects.
• The current upstream skill has changed since the older copy in our catalog. The linked source is the reference for the reviewed version.
• The directory has not independently executed a design task with this version.
