    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads anthropics-skills automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

anthropics-skills

Catalogue stub — full package: anthropics/skills

<!-- das:install:start — generated from stub.yaml by `npm run generate`; edit stub.yaml, not this block -->

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed? This package installs 6 skills (frontend-design, web-artifacts-builder, canvas-design, theme-factory, brand-guidelines, pptx); checking the first.

    • Global: f=~/.agents/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • Project: f=.agents/skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • installed → the skill is installed as frontend-design, invoke it and proceed
    • pointer → go to step 2

  2. Detect scope, then install:

    [ -e ~/.agents/skills/anthropics-skills ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

    Global:

    npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill frontend-design web-artifacts-builder canvas-design theme-factory brand-guidelines pptx -g -y

    Project:

    npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill frontend-design web-artifacts-builder canvas-design theme-factory brand-guidelines pptx -y

    Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Claude Code plugin route:

/plugin install document-skills@anthropic-agent-skills

Heads-up

  • License: Apache-2.0 for frontend-design, web-artifacts-builder, canvas-design, theme-factory and brand-guidelines; pptx is proprietary (Anthropic, all rights reserved, per its LICENSE.txt); the repo has no root LICENSE
  • Name collision: frontend-design is also written by frontend-design (its install or its catalogue pointer); installing both overwrites the earlier one.
<!-- das:install:end -->

Invoke after install

  • frontend-design — "frontend design", "UI/UX development"
  • web-artifacts-builder — "web artifact", "React artifact", "build HTML artifact"
  • canvas-design — "canvas design", "PNG art", "visual art"
  • theme-factory — "theme artifact", "professional theme", "style artifact"
  • brand-guidelines — "brand colors", "brand typography", "apply brand"
  • pptx — "PowerPoint", "create PPTX", "presentation"

What it does

Anthropic's official skill suite covering design-adjacent workflows: production-quality frontend design guidance, complex multi-component HTML artifact construction with React/Tailwind/shadcn, visual art creation, theme systems, Anthropic's own brand colors and typography, and PowerPoint generation. The pptx skill is proprietary (Anthropic, all rights reserved); the other five are Apache-2.0.

When NOT to use

  • Applying a different company's brand — brand-guidelines applies Anthropic's brand; use brand-design-md for well-known brands
  • A different take on the same job as frontend-design — the catalogue also has a frontend-design stub from another author that writes to the same install directory; pick one
  • Every other skill in the repo (docx, xlsx, pdf, claude-api, mcp-builder, ...) — this pointer installs only the six listed; add more by passing their names to --skill
