Design skills ranked by GitHub stars and source install counts, each description checked against the source. A useful design skill is specific: a type scale, a spacing grid, animation durations and curves, a palette with a job for each colour. A skill made of general words about clean modern interfaces adds nothing the model lacks. If it works from mockups, check which MCP server it needs to reach Figma. Topic: design.
