Design Atlas ​

A curated wiki of reviewed references for websites and UI: galleries, component libraries, design systems and asset packs. Each page explains what a source is useful for and how it works with coding agents.

Browse the atlas ​

  • Start with a topic hub, then open shortlisted site pages for details and reusable ideas.
  • Use llms.txt or sites.json to filter every site's metadata before reading pages. agent: none means no published integration; an agent can still browse the site.
  • For visual work, ask the agent to inspect a few live examples in a browser before choosing a direction. Atlas pages are references, not visual proof of the current sites.

See AGENTS.md for the full reading workflow and CONTRIBUTING.md to add or update sources.

Agent skills ​

The skills/ directory contains two installable skills in the open Agent Skills format:

  • design-atlas finds reviewed sources and prepares reference briefs with licensing caveats.
  • design-atlas-ui uses live examples to guide, build or review a UI and check it with rendered evidence.

Install both with the skills CLI for any compatible agent. The CLI detects available agents; add --agent <name> to choose a target, or --skill <name> to install one skill:

sh
npx skills add sthbryan/design-atlas
npx skills add sthbryan/design-atlas --agent codex

Claude Code can also install the atlas as a plugin from its marketplace:

text
/plugin marketplace add sthbryan/design-atlas
/plugin install design-atlas@design-atlas

The plugin includes the atlas pages. The skills CLI installs the skill folders without the full wiki, so design-atlas uses raw GitHub or its bundled catalog when the atlas is not present locally.

Website ​

The VitePress site uses the existing Markdown pages and serves this README at /readme. Its full site list and topic list are generated pages. Run the site locally with Bun:

sh
bun install
bun run site:dev
bun run site:build
bun run site:preview

Bun 1.4.2 runs the scripts; Node 20 or later runs their underlying code. The dev server and preview bind to 127.0.0.1. The build writes to the ignored site/.vitepress/dist/ directory and checks links. Static assets live in public/; the visual identity is documented in site/DESIGN.md and validated by bun run check.

Contributing ​

Follow CONTRIBUTING.md to add, update or remove a site. In short, copy TEMPLATE.md to sites/<slug>.md, fill in its frontmatter and seven sections, then run bun run build and bun run check. Generated indexes and related links are maintained by the build; don't edit them by hand.
