Step by step

  1. Open the GitHub repo and look at the editor screenshots and the demo video.
  2. Install with npx skills add JimLiu/baoyu-design (add -g for every project, or --skill to pick only some of the six skills).
  3. Restart your agent so it loads the new skills.
  4. Ask it for a design, deck or dashboard; it writes the files under designs/ and prints a local editor link where you can comment, retype and export.

Watch out for

An unofficial community port by Baoyu (JimLiu), not an Anthropic product: the skill files keep the original design instructions close to word for word. The brief is long and the author says results are best with the strongest Claude model, so expect weaker output and more tokens on small models. Each editor runs a small local server on your machine.
