Interface Design teaches agents to build product interfaces with the craft of a top design team (Linear, Vercel, Stripe, Apple). The core argument: generic output happens because intent lives in prose while code generation pulls from patterns. The skill forces intent exploration, domain exploration, whisper-quiet layering, and systemic decisions before any code.
Installation¶
npx skills add dammyjay93/interface-design --skill interface-design
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Node.js + npx | For the skill installer |
| Design context | The target product's domain and users |
What It Provides¶
| Capability | Notes |
|---|---|
| Intent exploration | Identify the specific human user, core task, and emotional quality before code |
| Domain exploration | Product-specific concepts, color worlds, and signature elements |
| Subtle layering | Surface elevation, border progression, and token architecture without harsh jumps |
| Infinite expression | Reject identical patterns; every interface emerges from its task |
| Systemic intent | Color, spacing, depth, and typography reinforce one stated feel |
Scope: dashboards, admin panels, SaaS apps, tools, settings pages, data interfaces. Explicitly not for landing pages or marketing sites.

| Dashboard design | Admin panels and data interfaces for CorpusIQ and client work |
| Anti-generic doctrine | Same philosophy as our de-AI-fication rules, applied to UI |
| Design system grounding | Token architecture guidance for design-system work |
Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
Limitations / Verification¶
- Explicitly not for landing pages, marketing sites, or brand-only work
- The companion
