Been testing a bunch of Claude design skills this month, thought they were useless when they first came out, but the difference in output is kind of noticeable: frontend-design: stops that “AI-made” look (those purple gradients, you know) and actually commits to a real aesthetic with proper hierarchy and layout (it sucks too, you have to use multiple skills + MCP to get a very good result, but still better than slop) figma: makes it think in systems first (tokens, components, spacing) instead of dumping random divs everywhere (honestly still needs a good prompt to not go off the rails, but the structure it produces is way cleaner) theme factory: instantly reskins anything with complete themes that actually feel cohesive, and it doesn’t feel like just swapped colors (the catch is you have to pick the right base theme or it just looks generic again) brand guidelines: outputs start matching a real brand without having to repeat the same instructions every single time (still drifts if your brief is vague. so you have to be specific ) canvas design: generates stuff like posters and visuals you can actually download and use without fixing half of it (results vary a lot depending on how detailed your prompt is, but when it lands, it actually lands!) which skills are you guys using? drop them below. and if you want the full list i’ve been testing, check the first comment👇 submitted by /u/Ok-Literature-9189
