# Stitch Design Taste — Semantic Design System Skill ## Overview This skill generates `DESIGN.md` files optimized for Google Stitch screen generation. It translates the battle-tested anti-slop frontend engineering directives into Stitch's native semantic design language — descriptive, natural-language rules paired with precise values that Stitch's AI agent can interpret to produce premium, non-generic interfaces. The generated `DESIGN.md` serves as the **single source of truth** for prompting Stitch to generate new screens that align with a curated, high-agency design language. Stitch interprets design through **"Visual Descriptions"** supported by specific color values, typography specs, and component behaviors. ## Prerequisites - Access to Google Stitch via [labs.google.com/stitch](https://labs.google.com/stitch) - Optionally: Stitch MCP Server for programmatic integration with Cursor, Antigravity, or Gemini CLI ## The Goal Generate a `DESIGN.md` file that encodes: 1. **Visual atmosphere** — the mood, density, and design philosophy 2. **Color calibration** — neutrals, accents, and banned patterns with hex codes 3. **Typographic architecture** — font stacks, scale hierarchy, and a

Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 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.
