Use to DESIGN or shape a new developer-experience surface from scratch — an API, SDK, CLI, developer-doc IA, error envelope, setup/first-run flow, auth model, migration/deprecation path, plugin or extension contract, package/publish scheme, logging/config design, changelog convention, or telemetry/consent contract. Triggers on "design a new API/SDK/CLI", "what should we get right up front", "shape the public surface before we write code", "what should our error envelope look like". Emits a design doc with a concrete good-shaped pattern and acceptance criteria. Do NOT use to AUDIT or debug an existing surface (use dx-audit), for end-user visual UI (use ui-design), or for AI-agent-facing surfaces / AI/Agent SDK design (use agent-experience).

From the source SKILL.md
Developer-experience design for any surface a developer will install, call, extend, or maintain — applied before the code exists, so the public shape is right the first time. Provenance lives in skill.json; this file is runtime routing only.
What this skill does

When should I use the Dx Design skill?
Use Dx Design when your Claude Code task falls under the Product category — specifically in the design system ui area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Dx Design" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/product/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Dx Design skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Dx Design is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Product category.
