creative-director

# creative-director > Curated from @smixs. ## What it does AI creative director with recursive self-assessment: 20+ methodologies (SIT, TRIZ, Bisociation, SCAMPER, Synectics), 3-axis evaluation calibrated against Cannes/D&AD/HumanKind, 5-phase process from brief to presentation. ## 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. 1. 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. 2. Inspect the current target: HTML/page element, browser tab, design file, active design system, attached image, or project folder. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. ## Source - Upstream: https://github.com/smixs/creative-director-skill - Category: `creative-direction` ## How to use This catalogue entry advertises the skill in Open Design so the agent discovers it during planning.
