Set up

Skills are installed by placing their folder where your agent loads skills.

Download ZIP from GitHub Open the repository

The download comes from github.com/sthbryan/design-atlas itself, not from our server, so what you get is exactly what its author published.

Install instructions come from the README

Skills do not use an MCP config. Follow the steps in the README below.

Design Atlas

A curated wiki of reviewed references for websites and UI: galleries, component libraries, design systems and asset packs. Each page explains what a source is useful for and how it works with coding agents.

Browse the atlas

Start with a topic hub, then open shortlisted site pages for details and reusable ideas.
Use llms.txt or sites.json to filter every site's metadata before reading pages. agent: none means no published integration; an agent can still browse the site.
For visual work, ask the agent to inspect a few live examples in a browser before choosing a direction. Atlas pages are references, not visual proof of the current sites.

See AGENTS.md for the full reading workflow and CONTRIBUTING.md to add or update sources.

Agent skills

The skills/ directory contains two installable skills in the open Agent Skills format:

design-atlas finds reviewed sources and prepares reference briefs with licensing caveats. It can study a source's own interface, use its search or filters to discover more examples, and compare directions before choosing one.
design-atlas-ui uses live examples to guide, build or review a UI and check it with rendered evidence.

Install both with the skills CLI for any compatible agent. The CLI detects available agents; add --agent <name> to choose a target, or --skill <name> to install one skill:

npx skills add sthbryan/design-atlas
npx skills add sthbryan/design-atlas --agent codex

Claude Code can also install the atlas as a plugin from its marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add sthbryan/design-atlas
/plugin install design-atlas@design-atlas

The plugin includes the atlas pages. The skills CLI installs the skill folders without the full wiki, so design-atlas uses raw GitHub or its bundled catalog when the atlas is not present locally.

Website

The VitePress site uses the existing Markdown pages and serves this README at /readme. Its full site list and topic list are generated pages. Run the site locally with Bun:

bun install
bun run site:dev
bun run site:build
bun run site:preview

Bun 1.4.2 runs the scripts; Node 20 or later runs their underlying code. The dev server and preview bind to 127.0.0.1. The build writes to the ignored site/.vitepress/dist/ directory and checks links. Static assets live in public/; the visual identity is documented in site/DESIGN.md and validated by bun run check.

Contributing

Follow CONTRIBUTING.md to add, update or remove a site. In short, copy TEMPLATE.md to sites/<slug>.md, fill in its frontmatter and seven sections, then run bun run build and bun run check. Generated indexes and related links are maintained by the build; don't edit them by hand.
