Setup
Optional power tools and verifying the prototyping skills
There's nothing you're required to install — the prototyping workflow is self-contained in the repo. Clone it, open Claude Code, and the skills are already wired. The discovery step (a few clarifying questions before scaffolding) is built into reva-new-prototype itself. A couple of optional power tools are covered below.
Already in the repo
Impeccable — the design-skill suite (/impeccable, /polish, /critique, /audit, /clarify, /typeset, /delight, and more) is vendored under .agents/skills/ with symlinks at .claude/skills/. No install step. When you clone the repo and open Claude Code, slash commands are already wired.
See Design rigor for when to reach for polish commands, and Agent skills for the full in-repo catalog.
CLI-only features
A few Impeccable workflows (e.g. live audit overlays in /critique) call the npx impeccable CLI. That is separate from the skill files and is only needed if you use those features — install globally with npm install -g impeccable when you need it.
Verifying skills are wired
In Claude Code, type / and confirm /impeccable or /polish show up — they're present from the repo, no plugin marketplace install needed.
Optional power tools
These are extra skills you can invoke explicitly when relevant. They are intentionally not auto-fired by the Reva project (per spec D21) — adding them to the auto-fire rotation would create competing voices that fight @reva/ui opinions. Use them as deliberate one-off tools.
In the repo (opt-in slash commands)
Already vendored like the polish commands above — invoke when relevant:
| Skill | When to reach for it |
|---|---|
/clarify | Reviewing UX copy — error messages, empty states, button labels |
/typeset | Typography pass on a page (font sizing, hierarchy, weight) |
/audit | a11y + performance check before opening a PR |
/critique | UX critique with persona-based testing |
/delight | Add personality, micro-interactions, polish details |
External (install separately)
Anthropic's design:* plugin commands are not vendored in this repo:
| Skill | When to reach for it |
|---|---|
design:accessibility-review | Formal WCAG 2.1 AA audit for production work |
design:ux-copy | Writing meaningful product copy with intent |
design:design-handoff | Generate developer handoff specs from a finished design |
Install via Claude Code's plugin marketplace. Upstream for the in-repo Impeccable skills: impeccable.style (pinned in skills-lock.json at the repo root).
Don't auto-fire these
Resist the urge to wire any of these to auto-fire in .claude/skills/. Reva already curates one monorepo-wide auto-fire skill (reva-design-system-adherence); adding more dilutes the signal and creates style ping-pong between sessions.
