Asked for a prominent hero CTA button to /pricing: the baseline answer just emitted <Button href> with no further thought, while the skill surfaced the bundled anti-pattern ('Button for plain navigation → use Link') and then explicitly reasoned through the documented exception for primary hero CTAs before keeping Button — a decision baseline never even considered.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What AI DS Composer does
Guides Claude to read a project's hierarchical design-system metadata (top-level philosophy, per-atom/molecule/organism metadata files) and pick components, variants, and props by citing selectionCriteria rather than intuition. Triggers when generating or modifying UI components/layouts where reuse and adherence to an existing design system matter, and explicitly flags anti-patterns and unmapped requirements instead of silently inventing components.

Commands — how to trigger AI DS Composer
-
/ai-ds-composerReasons through design-system metadata to compose UI from existing components instead of inventing new code.

- How do I install AI DS Composer?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use AI DS Composer with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
