Frequently asked questions about directions-lab

What does the directions-lab skill do?

Scaffold a directions lab that shows shipped UI (Today) beside 2-3 design directions, with surface tabs, theme and animation toggles and the V1 MVP hover motion, registered in design-proposals Storybook. Use for a directions page or lab, or to explore design directions next to production. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the directions-lab skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install paperclip-directions-lab` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/paperclip-directions-lab/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does directions-lab work with?

directions-lab runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the directions-lab skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use directions-lab after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/paperclip-directions-lab` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the directions-lab skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
