# Design Resources for Developers Use this skill to find practical design resources before building, redesigning, or polishing frontend interfaces. Prefer it when the task needs third-party resource discovery, asset sourcing, design-tool suggestions, UI-library comparison, or inspiration links. ## Source - Upstream repository: `https://github.com/bradtraversy/design-resources-for-developers` - Integrated source commit: `6d9884e7260076e0eced4ac9f3be7665a91a9476` - Local source checkout: `%USERPROFILE%\.design-resources-for-developers\design-resources-for-developers` ## Workflow 1. Start with `references/category-index.md` to choose the relevant category. 2. Use `scripts/search_design_resources.py` for targeted lookup without loading the full README. 3. Load `references/catalog.md` only when category-level detail is needed. 4. Load `references/source-readme.md` when the exact upstream wording or full list matters. 5. Check `references/contributing.md` before proposing additions back to the upstream list. ## Search Helper Run from this skill directory: ```bash python scripts/search_design_resources.py --query "tailwind" --limit 10 --format md python scripts/search_design_resources.py --category "React UI Libraries" --limit 20 --format md python scripts/search_design_resources.py --query "color contrast" --format json ``` The helper searches resource names, descriptions, URLs, and categories in `references/resources.json`. ## Use Rules - Recommend resources by category and use case, not as a flat link dump. - Prefer official, actively maintained, accessible, and production-friendly tools when the user is making implementation choices. - Treat the mirrored catalogue as a starting point. If freshness matters, verify the resource live before relying on availability, pricing, license, or maintenance status. - Do not paste the full catalogue into the answer. Cite only the relevant few resources and mention the category used. - Keep licensing separate from availability: the upstream list focuses on free resources, but individual resources may have their own terms.
