Describe Design

Create visual design documentation for websites and apps with typography, color, and layout details.

What it is

This skill helps you document the visual design system of a website or application. Point it at a design or codebase, and it'll analyze and describe the typography choices, color palettes, layout patterns, and overall aesthetic vibe. The output is a clean markdown document that captures the design language for team alignment, brand guidelines, or design handoff.

What it does

  • Analyzes website or app designs to identify typography systems and font choices
  • Documents color palettes and how colors are used across components
  • Describes layout patterns, spacing, and visual hierarchy
  • Captures the overall design vibe and aesthetic direction
  • Produces markdown documentation with visual references

Use it when

  • You're creating brand guidelines or a design system document
  • You need to hand off design specifications to a team or contractor
  • You're reverse-engineering a competitor's visual language for inspiration
  • You want to audit design consistency across your product
