Should I use this for backend projects?

No, this skill is optimized for projects with a visual interface. It is best skipped for REST APIs, CLIs, libraries, or data pipelines.

Where does the skill store my design choices?

All selected preferences, including color hex codes, font choices, and animation levels, are saved to a docs/DESIGN.md file in your repository.

What is the Design Preferences skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code plugin that helps developers define visual design choices through a guided flow, ensuring AI-generated code follows consistent styling.

Can I provide my own custom brand colors?
