Questions

How do I install design-dna?: Download SKILL.md from the publisher, or copy the path and open the repository. PlugMCP lists the skill and does not host the file.
Where does design-dna live?: The publisher keeps it at https://github.com/zanwei/design-dna.
Which agents can use design-dna?: Claude, Cursor, and Codex can read a SKILL.md you add from the publisher's repository.

name: design-dna description: >- Extract, define, and apply design DNA across three dimensions: design system (tokens), design style (qualitative feel), and visual effects (Canvas, WebGL, 3D, particles, shaders, scroll effects, etc.). Use this skill when: (1) a user wants to see the full 3-dimension design structure/schema, (2) a user provides images, screenshots, or URLs of reference designs and wants them analyzed into a structured JSON profile covering all three dimensions, (3) a user has a Design DNA JSON and content and wants a design generated from it, or (4) any combination of these phases.

Design DNA

A 3-phase workflow for extracting, structuring, and applying design identity across three dimensions:

Design System — measurable tokens (color, typography, spacing, layout, shape, elevation, motion, components)
Design Style — qualitative perception (mood, visual language, composition, imagery, interaction feel, brand voice)
Visual Effects — special rendering (Canvas, WebGL, 3D, particles, shaders, scroll effects, cursor effects, SVG animations, glassmorphism, etc.)

Phases

Phase 1: Structure — Output the Schema

When the user asks for the structural dimensions or schema:

Read references/schema.md
Present the full schema with field descriptions
Explain the three dimensions and their roles:

color: Do not estimate hex values by eye — perceived colors drift toward familiar palette defaults (often by a ΔE of 10+). When the reference is an image file, measure instead. Resolve SKILL_ROOT to the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md; never assume the current project directory contains the skill's scripts/ folder. Use absolute paths for the reference and output, and keep one uniquely named measurement file per reference:
```
npm install --prefix "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts" --silent
node "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/measure-colors.mjs" "$REFERENCE_IMAGE" > "$MEASUREMENT_JSON"
```
Use the measured hexes verbatim in the DNA JSON: map the background role to surface.background; map text to the end of neutral.scale that contrasts with the measured background and document that foreground use in neutral.usage; and map accent to accent.hex. Keep both the measured palette and its measurement configuration in design_system.color.measured_palette and design_system.color.measurement so verification can reuse the same clustering configuration. Coverage values are fractions from 0 to 1. Only fall back to visual sampling when measurement is impossible (for example, a URL-only reference that cannot be screenshotted). Choose primary and secondary colors by semantic role, use accent for CTA emphasis, and order the neutral scale from lightest to darkest regardless of theme.
typography: Identify font families by visual characteristics (geometric, humanist, serif class). Estimate scale ratios from heading/body size relationships.
spacing: Assess density by element proximity. Measure rhythm by section gap consistency.
layout: Identify grid by content alignment patterns. Note max-width, column count, asymmetry.
shape: Measure border-radius by comparing to element height. Note border and divider presence.
elevation: Classify shadow softness, spread, and layering approach.
motion: If observable (video/interactive), note easing curves and duration feel.

Read references/generation-guide.md
Parse the DNA JSON and extract all tokens across three dimensions
Build CSS custom properties from design_system values
Apply design_style qualitative fields to guide subjective design decisions
When the design needs assets or source materials, fetch them from the original source whenever possible. If the user provided a URL, retrieve the real asset from that URL instead of recreating, approximating, or substituting it.
Implement visual_effects using appropriate technologies:
- Lightweight effects → CSS animations, SVG, vanilla JS
- Medium effects → Canvas 2D, GSAP, Lottie
- Heavy effects → Three.js, custom GLSL shaders, Pixi.js
Generate the design output (default: self-contained HTML with inline CSS/JS)
Run quality checks from the generation guide
Verify (when the DNA contains a measured palette): save the current Design DNA JSON if it is not already a file, screenshot the generated output, then score it against that DNA file. Resolve SKILL_ROOT from this SKILL.md and use absolute paths; do not assume a temporary file named measured-colors.json exists:
```
node "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/verify.mjs" "$IMPLEMENTATION_SCREENSHOT" "$DESIGN_DNA_JSON"
```
A standalone measurement JSON may be used instead of the DNA file when that is the only persisted artifact. For multiple image references, verify against each reference's measurement separately. The report gives per-color ΔE and coverage drift with PASS/FAIL thresholds. If it fails, fix the offending colors and re-verify instead of asking the user to judge fidelity by eye.
