A collection of 32 Claude skills and 7 reviewer subagents for end-to-end product design: discovery, definition, design, validation, design systems, craft, motion, brand, and shipping. The reference bank follows designeer.xyz; the house design system is Fibo. This file follows the layout of Fibo's AGENTS.md. - Start with product-design-process when work spans phases.

Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.
Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,774 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository33 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 21
Start with product-design-process when work spans phases.
- Distinctive: line 23
Run the reviewer a skill names in its Verify section before calling work done.
- Very specific: line 31
Every relative link resolves.
- Distinctive: line 53
Add a skill that duplicates a neighbor.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

design-skills
A collection of 32 Claude skills and 7 reviewer subagents for end-to-end
product design: discovery, definition, design, validation, design systems, craft,
motion, brand, and shipping. The reference bank follows designeer.xyz; the house
design system is Fibo. This file follows the layout of Fibo's AGENTS.md.
Layout
| Path | Holds |
skills/<name>/SKILL.md | One skill each. references/ and templates/ beside it when needed |
skills/product-design-process/ | The router: phase map, reviewers, project log |
agents/<name>.md | Read-only reviewer subagents |
REFERENCE-BANK.md | Curated sources, organized like designeer.xyz |
FIBO.md | The house design system and its agent setup |
AUTHORING.md | The skill and reviewer format. Read before writing either |
Using the collection
- Start with
product-design-processwhen work spans phases. It routes. - Load a single skill directly for a bounded task.
- Run the reviewer a skill names in its Verify section before calling work done.
- A project's own
AGENTS.mdorCLAUDE.mdwins over any skill here. Skills describe defaults; projects decide.
Definition of done for a change to this repo
- The skill follows
AUTHORING.md: frontmatter with trigger phrases and a "Not for" pointer, the body sections in order, and a Verify section. - Every relative link resolves. Check with:
grep -rhoE '\]\((\.\./|\./)?[a-zA-Z0-9_./-]+\.md[^)]*\)' skills agents *.mdand open each target. - Cross-links use skill and reviewer names that exist in
skills/andagents/. - Each new skill appears in the README table and in the phase map in
skills/product-design-process/SKILL.md. - Facts about Fibo are checked against the Fibo repo, not remembered.
Conventions
- Skill names are kebab-case nouns or noun phrases (
color-system,design-handoff). The folder name equalsnamein the frontmatter. - Reviewers are read-only:
tools: Read, Grep, Glob, plusBashonly for read-only commands or screenshots. They report failures only and end in a one-line verdict:ready, orN blocking issues. - Numbers over adjectives. A standard states its value.
- Models over descriptions. Process steps point at a template, reference file, or real file and say "copy that shape".
- Writing. Sentence case headings. No emoji, no hype words.
Do not
- Add a skill that duplicates a neighbor. Extend the neighbor or sharpen both descriptions so they do not trigger on the same request.
- Give a reviewer write tools.
- Impose Fibo's token or component names on a project that has its own.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
