## What it is
A curated registry of design-engineering 'skills' (reusable instruction documents) that help humans and AI agents build better user interfaces, browsable via a CLI and fetchable over Model Context Protocol. It aggregates skills from contributors like anthropics, shadcn, and ibelick covering UI audits, frontend design, animations, and codebase improvement planning.

## Use cases
- give my AI coding agent UI design skills
- audit my app's animations and get an improvement plan
- make my frontend look less like generic AI output
- connect an agent to a UI skills catalog over MCP
- browse and fetch design engineering skills from the terminal
- generate a read-only codebase improvement plan for another agent to execute

## When to choose
- you use AI coding agents and want them to produce higher-quality, more polished interfaces
- you want curated, battle-tested UI/motion/design guidance injected into agent workflows
- you need an MCP server exposing a skills registry to your tools

## When to avoid
- you need a runnable UI component library or CSS framework rather than instruction documents
- you want automated code fixes - the skills are advisory and read-only by design
- you don't work with AI agents or skill-based workflows
