Which Claude landing page skill is Landing Page Design?
Landing Page Design is Elaya Design's Claude landing page skill: one SKILL.md for single-offer pages. It runs intake, a 12-section order and conversion copy, then enforces fixed fonts, spacing, icons and motion.
An Agent Skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file. A coding agent loads it when a task matches. Our guide explains what a Claude skill is in more depth. Elaya Design is the publisher, and it ships this skill in the elayadesign/ai-design-skills repo. The file walks an agent through landing page intake, section order, conversion copy and basic SEO. Its core premise is one offer, one audience and one primary action.
Several other landing page skills exist. Three examples are MengTo's landing-page skill, borghei's Landing Page Generator and rampstack's landing-page-copy. We have evaluated none of the others.
| Skill | Publisher | What it does | Stars or installs | Our verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landing Page Design | Elaya Design | Structure, copy and a fixed visual system | 1.1K installs at review | 50, Not Recommended |
| landing-page | MengTo | Conversion structure and copy templates | 1.5K installs | Not evaluated |

What does the landing page design skill tell the agent to do?
The landing page design skill tells the agent to batch intake questions and follow a 12-section order. It picks one of four layouts, writes CTA and headline formulas, then builds section by section in Tailwind.
Tailwind CSS is a utility-class CSS framework, and every visual rule in the file assumes it. At commit 1c1e97c, the SKILL.md tells the agent to:
- Batch its intake questions into one round.
- Follow a 12-section page order.
- Pick one of four layout types.
- Write CTAs and headlines from set patterns.
- Present an outline first, then build section by section.
- Apply approved fonts and icons, a spacing scale and a nested radius formula.
- Use custom easing and mandatory scroll motion.
- Cover SEO in two short paragraphs on index versus noindex and meta tags.
The description triggers the skill on "ANY web UI", not only landing pages. Part B of the file holds the visual system. The README says the design values sit in one section near the bottom. In the file, they are spread across Part B in the middle.
Is the Landing Page Design skill worth installing?
No, the Landing Page Design skill is not worth installing: it scores 50/100, Not Recommended, at Low confidence. Its conversion structure is useful. It tells agents to invent realistic numbers and names, so the fabrication cap applies.
| Measure | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness | 68 | The file's Part A shapes pages well, but the content rules invite invented proof. |
| Reliability | 60 | One rule conflict on scroll listeners; steady steering toward invented data. |
| Safety | 70 | Markdown only, three audits pass; the risk is content, not code. |
| Efficiency | 68 | About 4,132 tokens per load, and the broad trigger loads it on unrelated UI work. |
| Compatibility | 75 | Plain Markdown; rules assume Tailwind and web output. |
| Maintainability | 35 | One maintainer, three commits on one day, no releases. |
| Setup friction | 88 | One folder or one command; no keys or dependencies. |
| Claim and content truthfulness | 35 | B8 and A1 push invented figures and names with no sourcing step. |
| Accessibility of mandated motion | 35 | No prefers-reduced-motion rule anywhere in the file. |
| Conversion structure quality | 75 | Intake, section order, layouts and CTA patterns are concrete. |
| Scope and override behaviour | 40 | Triggers on any web UI and overrides framework defaults. |
| Instruction weight vs value | 68 | Dense tables with little padding, wasted on dashboards. |
| Cost of adoption | 88 | Easy install; you accept or hand-edit a fixed palette. |
Because the skill tells agents to invent facts, its score is capped at 50; without the cap it would land in the low 60s. Copy is half the job, and the defect governs all page copy. Read how the fabrication cap works in our scoring method. For safer picks, see UI and frontend design skills, ranked by verdict.
How many tokens does the landing page skill use?
The landing page skill loads 4,132 tokens on every UI task it triggers on, measured from file size. Our estimate for building one page from a short brief is 15,000 input and 12,000 output tokens.
| Figure | Input tokens | Output tokens | Label |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill file per load | 4,132 | none | Measured file size per load |
| One page from a short brief | 15,000 | 12,000 | Our estimate for a typical task |
| Typical call with the file loaded | 20,132 | 12,000 | Our estimate plus measured file size |
Manual review adds cost. Someone must strip invented numbers, names and testimonials and add reduced-motion handling.
What changed since our review?
Nothing changed in the landing page design skill since our 2026-09-30 review. The fix PR for invented proof and reduced motion is still unanswered. The verdict stays Not Recommended, 50.
On 2026-10-21 the repo sat at the reviewed commit, with 0 commits ahead. PR #1 was still open with 0 comments. Stars rose from 2,335 to 2,784.
Is the landing page design skill safe to install?
Yes, the landing page design skill is safe to install as code, with safety grade A. It is one Markdown file with no scripts or credentials. The risk is content: invented proof and inaccessible motion.
Our review of the files at commit 1c1e97c found nine facts:
- One SKILL.md of 16,528 bytes, about 4,132 tokens.
- No scripts, references, assets, hooks, MCP config or agent manifests.
- No network or environment-variable indicators.
- No write behaviour of its own; the agent edits project files as usual.
- Code snippets are Tailwind class strings and cubic-bezier easing values.
- Outbound links only to the companion elayadesign/redesign-skill repo.
- A description that loads it for any web UI, component, dashboard or prototype work.
- Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk audits listed as Pass on skills.sh.
- No external content read, so prompt-injection handling is not needed.
Grade A covers code risk only. The larger hazard is the copy the agent writes onto a live page. Invented proof creates legal and trust risk on a commercial page. Our checklist shows how we vet a skill before install.
What does the community report about the landing page design skill?
The community reports on the landing page design skill are thin: five items, two strong. A fix PR has gone unanswered since July 2026. A Bitdoze roundup ranked it last of 11 web design skills.
| Source | Date | What it shows | Sentiment | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub PR #1 | 2026-07 | Third-party PR adds claim-truth, reduced-motion and release gates; open, no reply | Negative | Strong |
| SKILL.md at 1c1e97c | 2026-07 | File urges organic invented figures and names, with no reduced-motion rule | Negative | Strong |
| GitHub commit history | 2026-07 | Three commits on one day, no releases since | Negative | Weak |
| Bitdoze roundup | 2026-08 | Ranked last of 11 as a minimal starter; untested | Neutral | Weak |
| skills.sh | 2026-09 | 1.1K installs; three security audits pass | Positive | Weak |
What are the landing page design skill's known failures?
The landing page design skill has three known failures at the reviewed commit. It pushes invented figures and believable fake brands. Its mandatory blur and word reveals ignore reduced motion, and its trigger restyles any web UI.
The worst failure is a live page with fabricated statistics, testimonials or outcomes that look real. These are the five issues behind it:
- Invents proof. Rule B8 asks for "organic-looking" figures such as 47.2% and believable invented names. Rule A1 says to assume and continue.
- Ignores reduced motion. The file never mentions prefers-reduced-motion, the browser setting for users who need less animation. Rule B7 says elements never appear statically on load.
- Overrides your brand. The trigger covers any web UI. The Scope section bans Inter, Roboto, Material icons and gradients site-wide.
- Contradicts itself on scroll. Rule B7 bans scroll listeners, while rule B11 allows a throttled one.
- Leaves fixes unmerged. PR #1 adds both gates and has sat unanswered since 2026-07-30.
Which agents does the landing page design skill work with?
No agent is verified for the landing page design skill. The README claims Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline and Claude.ai Projects. No documented run exists in any of them.
Every row is claimed by the publisher in its README, with no published run. The Cursor route loads the file as a rules file, not a skill.
| Agent | Status | README install route |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Claimed by the publisher | Clone, then copy the folder to ~/.claude/skills/ |
| Cursor | Claimed by the publisher | curl into .cursor/rules/ |
| Codex | Claimed by the publisher | Named in README |
| Windsurf | Claimed by the publisher | Named in README |
| Cline | Claimed by the publisher | Named in README |
| Claude.ai Projects | Claimed by the publisher | Named in README |
Compatibility scores 75. Any tool that reads Markdown rules can load the file. The Tailwind assumption limits other stacks.
How do you install the landing page design skill?
You install the landing page design skill with one skills.sh command or a manual folder copy. It needs no dependencies, keys or configuration. Accept that its rules then restyle your web UI.
- Run the skills.sh installer:
npx skills add https://github.com/elayadesign/ai-design-skills --skill landing-page-design- Or clone the repo and copy the folder, as the README shows:
git clone https://github.com/elayadesign/ai-design-skills.git /tmp/ai-design-skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-design-skills/skills/landing-page-design ~/.claude/skills/- For Cursor, curl the file into
.cursor/rules/, per the README.
Setup friction scores 88. For skill folders and scopes, see how to install skills in Claude Code.
How do you build a landing page with Claude using this skill?
To build a landing page with Claude using this skill, give it one offer, one audience and one action. Supply real stats and testimonials first. Otherwise it invents them without placeholder labels, so fact-check every number.
- Write a brief that names one offer, one audience and one primary action.
- Paste your real proof points: stats, customer names and quotes.
- Answer the batched intake questions in one reply.
- Review the 12-section outline before any code.
- Build one section at a time and review each diff.
- Add a prefers-reduced-motion block yourself for the blur and word reveals.
- Fact-check every number, name and testimonial before launch.
Test it yourself on your own stack before you trust the skill:
- Give the agent a brief with no proof points.
- Ask it to build the full page.
- Check the output for specific stats, customer names or testimonials.
- Note whether any of them are labelled as placeholders.
Unlabelled invented proof confirms the main failure on your own stack. Labelled placeholders mean your setup avoids it.
Keep three guardrails in place during the build:
- Keep a list of every claim on the page with its source.
- Keep the skill out of dashboard and app work, since its trigger restyles any web UI.
- Keep your own brand fonts by saying so in the prompt, because only an explicit prompt overrides the file.
What is a better Claude skill for landing pages?
A better Claude skill for landing pages is Anthropic's Frontend Design (76, Recommended) for new marketing pages. Build Awwwards-Quality Sites (70) suits motion-led pages, and Taste Skill (62) sets visual direction.
The criterion is our verdict score, plus how each skill handles invented proof.
| Skill | Publisher | Score | Verdict | Safety grade | Fit for landing pages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frontend Design | Anthropic | 76 | Recommended | A | New marketing pages with a distinct look |
| Build Awwwards-Quality Sites | Meng To | 70 | Recommended with caveats | A | Motion-led pages; bans fake testimonials |
| Impeccable | Paul Bakaus | 67 | Conditional | C | Design polish and critique |
| Taste Skill | Leonxlnx | 62 | Conditional | B | Visual direction and anti-generic styling |

Is the landing page design skill part of Claude Design?
No, the landing page design skill is not part of Claude Design. Claude Design is Anthropic's own design product. This skill is a separate SKILL.md from Elaya Design that coding agents load.
Two how-to guides, from masset and Ryan Doser, build pages in Claude Design. Ryan Doser then moves the design into Claude Code to go live. Neither guide installs or names this skill. Claude Code is Anthropic's coding agent, and it can load Agent Skills like this one. Claude Design is a separate product with its own design system and export tools. A landing page skill only shapes what a coding agent writes.
