"Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, has become one of the most versatile tools in a product designer's toolkit, capable of far more than generating code. From rapid prototyping & design critique to user research synthesis & accessibility audits, Claude can be used in nearly every stage of the design process. The key is knowing which Claude's capabilities to trigger and when."
"Each skill is a skill.md file (.md stands for markdown format) that features the following sections: YAML front matter → Defines the skill's metadata (name, description, routing signals) so Claude knows when and why to use it. You will use 'name' to call the skill in Claude. Role → Expertise & perspective Claude should adopt while executing the skill. Task → Single, clear outcome the skill should produce."
Claude functions as a versatile AI assistant for product designers, supporting rapid prototyping, design critique, user research synthesis, and accessibility audits across design stages. Effective use depends on knowing which Claude capabilities to trigger and when, and on structuring skills in a standard format. Skills are packaged as skill.md files with defined sections to guide execution. The YAML front matter encodes metadata and routing signals, 'name' calls the skill, Role sets the expertise perspective, Task specifies the single outcome, Input lists required context and artifacts, and Workflow breaks down the reasoning steps.
