Catalogue stub — full skill: nexu-io/open-design
Decision tree
-
Is the full skill already installed?
Check whether the skill at this location still has a das: block:
- Global:
grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/design-brief/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- Project:
grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/design-brief/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- No
das: block → full skill installed, invoke it and proceed
das: block present → go to step 2
-
Detect scope, then install:
To detect scope:
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/design-brief ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
Global (installed with -g):
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill design-brief -g -y
Project (installed without -g):
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill design-brief -y
Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

What it does
Generates structured design briefs from loose requirements and product context. Turns a rough idea or a vague ask into a clear design document: goals, target audience, success metrics, constraints, and scope. Prevents misaligned design work by establishing shared intent before any UI work begins.
