"We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us."
It's A Skill Issue
We just put Zypsy's product design skill on GitHub, free for anyone to use.
It's a design system for AI agents - a set of instructions that teaches tools like Claude Code and Cursor how to think about product design the way our team does. Information architecture, interaction patterns, visual design, design systems, AI-native UX.
The skill isn't a style guide. It's an operating system built from a decade of shipping product for funded startups and global brands at Zypsy.
Taste, Version Controlled
Most AI-generated UI looks like AI-generated UI: generic, safe, forgettable. That's a tooling problem, not a model problem. The models are capable - they just don't know what good looks like unless you teach them.
For example, take empty states. Most AI tools treat them as an afterthought - a centered icon, a headline, a button. But empty states are where a user decides if the thing is worth their time. Our skill treats them as a first-class design problem, not a placeholder.
Or take form design. Most AI output stacks every field with equal weight. Name, email, company, role, phone, use case - a wall of inputs. Good form design is about sequencing. What you ask first, what you ask later, and what you don't ask at all. Our skill understands the difference between a form that converts and a form that just collects.
From Our Desks to Yours
One line in Claude Code or Cursor and you're running. Install instructions are in the README.
Or you can read the exact skill here.
If you end up using it, I'd genuinely love to hear what you ship with it. And if your team needs designers in the loop rather than just agents, you know where to find us.
