Design

Unified design skill: brand, tokens, UI, logo, CIP, slides, banners, social photos, icons.

When to Use

• Brand identity, voice, assets
• Design system tokens and specs
• UI styling with shadcn/ui + Tailwind
• Logo design and AI generation
• Corporate identity program (CIP) deliverables
• Presentations and pitch decks
• Banner design for social media, ads, web, print
• Social photos for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, TikTok

Sub-skill Routing

| Task | Sub-skill | Details | |------|-----------|---------| | Brand identity, voice, assets | `brand` | Bundled sibling skill | | Tokens, specs, CSS vars | `design-system` | Bundled sibling skill | | shadcn/ui, Tailwind, code | `ui-styling` | Bundled sibling skill | | Logo creation, AI generation | Logo (built-in) | `references/logo-design.md` | | CIP mockups, deliverables | CIP (built-in) | `references/cip-design.md` | | Presentations, pitch decks | Slides (built-in) | `references/slides.md` | | Banners, covers, headers | Banner (built-in) | `references/banner-sizes-and-styles.md` | | Social media images/photos | Social Photos (built-in) | `references/social-photos-design.md` | | SVG icons, icon sets | Icon (built-in) | `references/icon-design.md` |

Script Paths

Script paths in this skill and its `references/` are relative to the directory that contains this SKILL.md, not to the project: `scripts/<file>` is this skill's own `scripts/` folder, and `../<skill>/scripts/<file>` is a sibling sub-skill installed alongside it. Build the full path from that directory (Claude Code reports it as the skill's base directory when the skill loads) and keep the working directory at the project root — the scripts read and write project files such as `docs/brand-guidelines.md`, `assets/design-tokens.json` or `src/` relative to it.

Logo Design (Built-in)

55+ styles, 30 color palettes, 25 industry guides. Gemini Nano Banana, Atlas Cloud, and MuAPI image generation.

Logo: Generate Design Brief

python3 scripts/logo/search.py "tech startup modern" --design-brief -p "BrandName"

Logo: Search Styles/Colors/Industries

python3 scripts/logo/search.py "minimalist clean" --domain style
python3 scripts/logo/search.py "tech professional" --domain color
python3 scripts/logo/search.py "healthcare medical" --domain industry

Logo: Generate with AI

**ALWAYS** generate output logo images with white background.

python3 scripts/logo/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --style minimalist --industry tech
python3 scripts/logo/generate.py --prompt "coffee shop vintage badge" --style vintage
python3 scripts/logo/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --provider atlas
python3 scripts/logo/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --provider muapi
python3 scripts/logo/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --provider muapi --muapi-model nano-banana-pro

**IMPORTANT:** When scripts fail, try to fix them directly.

After generation, **ALWAYS** ask user about HTML preview via `AskUserQuestion`. If yes, use the bundled `ui-ux-pro-max` skill for the gallery.

CIP Design (Built-in)

50+ deliverables, 20 styles, 20 industries. Gemini Nano Banana (Flash/Pro).

CIP: Generate Brief

python3 scripts/cip/search.py "tech startup" --cip-brief -b "BrandName"

CIP: Search Domains

python3 scripts/cip/search.py "business card letterhead" --domain deliverable
python3 scripts/cip/search.py "luxury premium elegant" --domain style
python3 scripts/cip/search.py "hospitality hotel" --domain industry
python3 scripts/cip/search.py "office reception" --domain mockup

CIP: Generate Mockups

# With logo (RECOMMENDED)
python3 scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo /path/to/logo.png --deliverable "business card" --industry "consulting"

# Full CIP set
python3 scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo /path/to/logo.png --industry "consulting" --set

# Pro model (4K text)
python3 scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TopGroup" --logo logo.png --deliverable "business card" --model pro

# Without logo
python3 scripts/cip/generate.py --brand "TechFlow" --deliverable "business card" --no-logo-prompt

Models: `flash` (default, `gemini-2.5-flash-image`), `pro` (`gemini-3-pro-image`). Override the ids with `GEMINI_FLASH_IMAGE_MODEL` / `GEMINI_PRO_IMAGE_MODEL`.

CIP: Render HTML Presentation

python3 scripts/cip/render-html.py --brand "TopGroup" --industry "consulting" --images /path/to/cip-output

**Tip:** If no logo exists, use Logo Design section above first.

Slides (Built-in)

Strategic HTML presentations with Chart.js, design tokens, copywriting formulas.

Load `references/slides-create.md` for the creation workflow.

Slides: Knowledge Base

| Topic | File | |-------|------| | Creation Guide | `references/slides-create.md` | | Layout Patterns | `references/slides-layout-patterns.md` | | HTML Template | `references/slides-html-template.md` | | Copywriting | `references/slides-copywriting-formulas.md` | | Strategies | `references/slides-strategies.md` |
