Claude Code, by hand (all projects)

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/google-labs-code/stitch-skills.git /tmp/stitch-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/stitch-skills/plugins/stitch-utilities/skills/design-md ~/.claude/skills/design-md

For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.

What it costs your context

Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.

Until it is used, design-md costs about 80× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 16 skills from google-labs-code/stitch-skills would load 801 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study

Checks

Our checks found nothing to flag: it follows the Agent Skills specification's naming and size guidelines and doesn't pipe downloads into a shell.

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): stitch*:*, Read, Write, web_fetch. The agent can use these without asking while the skill is active.

  7. stitch::code-to-designgoogle-labs-code/stitch-skills

    Convert frontend code (Vite, React, Angular, Vue, etc.) to a Stitch Design by chaining static HTML extraction, design system extraction, and file upload. **ALWAYS** use this skill when the user's intent is to move existing web apps or React/Angular/Vue components into Stitch (e.g., requests to "save", "migrate", or "upload"). You must use this skill even for simple "save" operations, as it is the only way to ensure the design system is extracted and assets are properly linked.

  8. stitch::extract-design-mdgoogle-labs-code/stitch-skills

    Extract a comprehensive design system (DESIGN.md) directly from frontend source code — React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, plain HTML/CSS, or any web framework. Analyzes component files, stylesheets, Tailwind configs, theme definitions, and design tokens to produce a rich, Stitch-compatible design system document. Use this skill whenever the user wants to reverse-engineer a design system from an existing codebase, audit the visual language of a project, extract design tokens from source files, or understand the styling patterns in a frontend repo — even if they just say "what does this app look like?" or "pull out the design from this code."
