A summary of all principles found on this page compiled in a Markdown file. Just download and add it to a Claude project, a custom GPT, or your repo's agent instructions, so your AI assistant can apply them when reviewing or assisting with design work.

Disclaimer: I believe these principles are best applied with human hands and eyes. I make no guarantees about the effectiveness of this skill. But I believe it could be a great way to check your work, alongside feedback from other designers, to help you learn and practice more effectively!
