Open Design orchestration mode
When this skill is invoked inside Open Design, treat it as the design-flow director, not as a single polish checklist.
- Define what "good-looking" means before changing pixels: audience, product goal, brand posture, style references, information density, typography, palette, motion tone, asset needs, and explicit anti-patterns such as generic AI gradients, empty cards, vague copy, and template symmetry.
- Inspect the current target: HTML/page element, browser tab, design file, active design system, attached image, or project folder.
- Search across every available Open Design resource, not only this skill: skills, plugins, MCP servers and templates, connected connectors, design files, active browser/context, and user-provided assets.
- Match resources into a staged workflow. Typical lanes are critique, style-direction selection, visual asset generation, motion, data/proof grounding, implementation polish, responsive/accessibility hardening, and final verification.
- When the design target or aesthetic bar is ambiguous, present a small guided UI-style choice set or form with a recommended default. Continue the workflow after the choice instead of stopping at a generic question.
- If the best resource is not configured yet, explain why it is needed and guide setup; otherwise use the closest configured alternative and mark the tradeoff.

How to use
This catalogue entry advertises the skill in Open Design so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/smixs/creative-director-skill
Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (creative-director) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
