Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Redesign Skill ## When to Use - Use when the user asks to redesign, restyle, modernize, polish, or improve an existing website or app UI. - Use when the task is to audit current frontend code and make targeted visual improvements without changing the product architecture. - Use when the design feels generic, AI-generated, poorly spaced, visually flat, or missing responsive, interactive, loading, empty, or error states. ## Limitations - This skill upgrades existing UI but does not authorize framework migrations, information-architecture rewrites, or product-scope expansion by default. - Preserve working behavior, routing, data flows, accessibility semantics, and tests while making visual changes. - Validate redesigned screens in the actual app across supported browsers and viewport sizes before considering the work complete. ## How This Works When applied to an existing project, follow this sequence: 1. **Scan** — Read the codebase. Identify the framework, styling method (Tailwind, vanilla CSS, styled-components, etc.), and current design patterns. 2. **Diagnose** — Run through the audit below. List every generic pattern, weak point, and missing state you find. 3. **Fix** — Apply

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill redesign-existing-projects --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
