Layer 2 - AI Skills for Design Engineering
Layer 2 - AI Skills for Design Engineering
AI made building fast. Nothing made building coherent.
You have a working prototype. Now what? The gap between "it works" and "it ships" isn't more code, it's design decisions: brand, tokens, components, consistency. Design engineering is the discipline that closes that gap. AI skills are how one person does it from a terminal.
This session is led by Julia H. Buratto, Design Engineer at Shippit.
What you'll see
How to train your codebase to be your design engineer — live, from a terminal.
What you'll do
Open your terminal agent → install GSP → define your brand → build one page or feature from the brand you just set up.
What you'll learn
- How AI skills give coding agents design expertise
- How design tokens, component systems, and agent pipelines work together
- How to go from brand to shipped UI without switching tools
- The patterns shaping this: design.md, shadcn/ui, registries, Impeccable skillsets
Output:
A codebase trained to reinforce your brand — every component, token, and page it generates from here stays on-brand.
Bring your laptop with the terminal tooling of your choice and a brand to implement.
