Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versiondesign-mdExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Package manager
npx skills add https://github.com/whyashthakker/design-md --skill design-mdFetches design-md from your-github-username/design-md and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate design-md. Access via /design-mdin your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

A specialized skill for creating and maintaining DESIGN.md files—a machine-readable design system specification that enables AI agents to generate consistent UI.
To translate a project's visual identity, brand guidelines, or existing UI patterns into a structured DESIGN.md file containing both YAML design tokens and Markdown rationale.
The DESIGN.md must follow this structure:
---
name: [Project Name]
colors:
background: "#[HEX]"
foreground: "#[HEX]"
brand: "#[HEX]"
# ... other tokens
dark:
background: "#[HEX]"
# ... dark mode overrides
typography:
fontFamily:
sans: "[Font Name], [Fallbacks]"
mono: "[Font Name], [Fallbacks]"
# ... size/weight tokens
rounded:
default: "[px/rem]"
---
# Design System: [Project Name]
## Overview

design-md is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: design-md is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
I recommend design-md for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
design-md reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
Useful defaults in design-md — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
design-md has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
design-md fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
