Design flow skill for Claude Code

Jul 04, 2026

In order to leverage the BMAD context fully, for the design development I did some quick research on the most recent Claude skills. I am looking specifically into design skills.

Found the skill set from Julian Oczkowski and currently testing it within the BMAD framework. I have the BMAD data and the design skills. So full context, I would say.

The skillset follows a (design) flow:

  1. /design-flow -- Run the full workflow as a guided sequence. Orchestrates all skills in order, lets you skip phases, confirms between each step. Start here if you want the complete process.
  2. /grill-me -- Get interrogated about your plan until every design decision is resolved.
  3. /design-brief -- Turn the grilling session into a structured design brief. Includes codebase exploration so the AI respects what already exists.
  4. /information-architecture -- Define the structural skeleton: navigation, content hierarchy, page structure, URL patterns, user flows.
  5. /design-tokens -- Generate a complete token system (colors, spacing, typography, motion) with light and dark mode palettes, based on the chosen aesthetic philosophy.
  6. /brief-to-tasks -- Break the brief into an ordered checklist of independently buildable vertical slices.
  7. /frontend-design -- Build with a named aesthetic philosophy. Mobile-first. Dark mode included. 8 design philosophies with concrete implementation parameters.
  8. /design-review -- Run a structured critique against the brief. Supports code review and screenshot-based review. Runs on request, not automatically. Use after you have something built.

I have installed it globally to also test it in other project structures. The good part is definitely the token savings. With skills I am able to save a lot of tokens. Currently testing the design outcome quality, so stay tuned.
