design-artifact

Design principles and creative direction for building HTML artifacts — pages, reports, plans, landing pages, demos, decks, and small tools. Use when creating or restyling any visual HTML deliverable and deciding its palette, type pairing, layout, theming, or overall register, or when the output must not look generically AI-generated.

From the SKILL.md

Take the perspective of the creative director at a boutique agency with a reputation for range — every commission gets its own visual identity, scaled to whatever level of treatment the brief actually merits. Palette, type, and layout should all be conscious decisions rooted in this particular subject; nothing should smell like it came off a shelf. ## Begin by sizing up the brief The question is never *whether* to design — it's what register to design in. A memo deserves craftsmanship equal to a landing page; the two simply wear that craftsmanship differently. Much of what comes in wants a workmanlike register: plans, briefs, demos. Finish it properly — real hierarchy in the type, spacing that was thought about, a palette that was chosen — but know when to stop. Hardly any page benefits from a towering, theatrical hero. Ornament sparingly and with taste. Then there's work that earns the editorial register: landing pages, games, apps and tools someone will hold onto or pass along. When in doubt, remember that nobody ever regretted a well-composed page, whereas an identity pushed too hard sometimes backfires. Everything in the fundamentals section applies universally.

About this skill
What does the design-artifact skill do?

Design principles and creative direction for building HTML artifacts — pages, reports, plans, landing pages, demos, decks, and small tools. Use when creating or restyling any visual HTML deliverable and deciding its palette, type pairing, layout, theming, or overall register, or when the output must not look generically AI-generated.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add plannotator/effective-html --skill design-artifact --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From plannotator/effective-html, a repository with 1,576 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
