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.
- 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.
- Inspect the current target: HTML/page element, browser tab, design file,
active design system, attached image, or project folder.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

How to use
This catalogue entry advertises the skill in Open Design so the agent
discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with
its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream
bundle into your active agent's skills directory:
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/smixs/creative-director-skill
Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (creative-director) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.
Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight
Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.
Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
How to use it
Take nexu-io/creative-director from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
