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.txtorsites.jsonto filter every site's metadata before reading pages.agent: nonemeans 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-atlasfinds reviewed sources and prepares reference briefs with licensing caveats.design-atlas-uiuses 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:
npx skills add sthbryan/design-atlas
npx skills add sthbryan/design-atlas --agent codexClaude Code can also install the atlas as a plugin from its marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add sthbryan/design-atlas
/plugin install design-atlas@design-atlasThe 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:
bun install
bun run site:dev
bun run site:build
bun run site:previewBun 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.
