Is the Resonance Design Designer skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from manusco/resonance. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Resonance Design Designer SkillProof Score?

8.4/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Resonance Design Designer?

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 Resonance Design Designer 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.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.4/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · fb12525

The self-contained reference library (21 files, all present and genuinely detailed: real OKLCH values, APCA over WCAG2, concentric radii, tabular numerals, an explicit slop catalog) survives a verbatim copy and is materially better than generic design guidance — but the skill's own 'Operating Standard' step reads AGENTS.md and its memory step reads/writes .resonance/02_memory.md, both of which live outside the skill folder and are absent after a plain `cp`; the repo's own README says plainly 'without the bridge the operating standard and memory never reach the model,' and the actual Claude-Code-native entry point (.claude/skills/design/SKILL.md) is a 4-line stub that just says 'go read .agents/skills/design/designer/SKILL.md' — broken the moment it's copied alone.

What Resonance Design Designer does

A deep design-director procedure covering perceptual color (OKLCH/APCA), typographic and spatial systems, motion physics, optical/subconscious craft detail, and an anti-'AI-slop' checklist, backed by 21 reference docs. Triggers on design-system setup, UI specification, 'this looks generic/AI-made' audits, refinement passes, and multi-canvas/state-coverage work; explicitly defers implementation code and long-form marketing copy to sibling skills.

How to install Resonance Design Designer

git clone https://github.com/manusco/resonance
cd resonance
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r .agents/skills/design/designer ~/.claude/skills/resonance-design-designer

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Resonance Design Designer

/resonance-design-designer First-principles UI design director: OKLCH color, optical craft, motion physics, full state coverage.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

This UI looks generic and AI-made, give it a real design pass
Set up an OKLCH color system and full state coverage for this app
Audit my design system against an anti-slop checklist
