Research a codebase and create architectural documentation describing how features or systems work. Use when the user asks to: (1) Document how a feature works, (2) Create an architecture overview, (3) Explain code structure for onboarding or knowledge transfer, (4) Research and describe a system's design. Produces markdown documents with Mermaid diagrams and stable code references suitable for humans and AI agents.

The 7 AI Skills Every Software Developer Should Have Installed in 2026
After testing dozens of developer-focused AI skills, these are the seven that have proven genuinely useful across different tech stacks and workflows β not just impressive demos, but tools that hold up under daily use.
Describe Design extends your AI assistant with the ability to research a codebase and create architectural documentation describing how features or systems work. Use when the user asks to: (1) Document how a feature works, (2) Create an architecture overview, (3) Explain code structure for onboarding or knowledge transfer, (4) Research and describe a system's design. Produces markdown documents with Mermaid diagrams and stable code references suitable for humans and AI agents. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Describe Design as its underlying capability.
Describe Design works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Describe Design once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
To install Describe Design, copy the skill folder to `~/.claude/skills/describe-design/` for use across all your projects, or `.claude/skills/describe-design/` for a single project. Restart Claude and the skill is immediately active β invoke it with `/describe-design` or just describe your goal and the AI will pick it up automatically.
Describe Design has been installed 1,514 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Design & Creative category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/describe-design/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/describe-design/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /describe-design or let the AI discover it automatically.
Describe Design supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
Describe Design is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
