I kept learning from talks and articles but losing the details. This turns source material into a skill you can talk to.

Synthesizes articles, talks, and frameworks bottom-up into interactive skills. Extracts principles, mental models, and decision trees instead of reformatting paragraphs. The meta-skill that builds other skills.

I wanted animation feedback from three designers I admire. So I built a skill that audits motion through each one's principles.

Audits UI animations through the lens of Emil Kowalski, Jakub Krehel, and Jhey Tompkins. Gives per-designer feedback with context-aware weighting based on what you're building.

Ridd talked about how tough it is to design responsively in code without a canvas. This front-loads those decisions so you're deliberate, not reactive.

Three modes: transform existing sites, build responsive from scratch, or launch a live multi-breakpoint preview. Surfaces design forks where there's no single right answer and makes you choose before writing CSS.

Soleio's playbook on hiring designers is one of the best things I've read. Turned it into an advisor you can talk to.

Two modes: Hiring Mode for sourcing design talent, Designer Mode for positioning yourself to get hired. Built from Soleio's strategic framework on what separates great designers from good ones.

Most products know what they do but not why someone should care. This drills to the emotional bedrock underneath every design decision.

Based on Ellis Hamburger's three-question framework: what should users accomplish, notice, and feel? Uses a Why Loop technique to drill past surface answers to the universal human need underneath. Two modes: start a new project or audit an existing one.

I synthesized advice from 16 design leaders into a skill that audits or plans portfolios. Four advisory lenses, weighted by your context.

Perspectives from leaders at Vercel, Lovable, Cash App, ElevenLabs, Duolingo, Google, Raycast, and more. Adapts its advice based on your role, career stage, and target companies. Two modes: audit an existing portfolio or plan a new one.
