What is deepseek-design-prompt?

deepseek-design-prompt is a prompt and installable skill that makes the DeepSeek AI model behave like a focused digital product designer. It is described as distilled from Claude Design, and its goal is to steer DeepSeek away from generic AI generated visuals, things like random gradients, decorative blobs, and fake metrics, and toward producing polished, usable design artifacts grounded in real UI kits and design systems. The repository includes two things: a standalone prompt text file you can paste as a system prompt when calling DeepSeek through an API, and an installable skill for the DeepSeek TUI, a terminal interface, that activates with a slash command. Once installed, you invoke it before asking DeepSeek to generate design work. The skill works best when you feed it real design context alongside your request: a design guide document, a UI kit with component files, token files that define colors and spacing, screenshots, or existing product code. With that context loaded, you can ask it to generate things like product prototypes, dashboards, slide decks with keyboard navigation, landing pages, mobile screens, or design system previews as runnable HTML files. An example in the README shows the skill being used with an automotive UI kit to generate a 1920x1080 media screen prototype, covering states like now playing, source switching, and queue views, with screenshots of the results included. The prompt also explicitly lists a set of design guardrails, things it should never do, like using emoji as feature icons or reproducing proprietary branded interfaces without permission.
