Claude has a built-in 'skills' system that acts like plugins, letting designers customize how Claude approaches design tasks. Key skills for designers include: the front-end design skill (forces Claude through a design thinking process covering purpose, tone, and aesthetics while explicitly avoiding generic AI output), a Figma-to-code skill (converts Figma URLs to production-ready code via MCP integration), Theme Factory (10 pre-built design system starter kits), Brand Guidelines (enforces brand tokens across all generated artifacts), and Canvas Design (generates visual art as PNG/PDF files). A 'skill creator' skill also lets you build custom skills through an iterative interview process. Each skill is a folder with a skill.md instruction file and optional assets.
