Benji Taylor open-sources Stageshow skills for product-style UI illustration
Overview
Benji Taylor, design lead at X and SpaceX, has released Stageshow, an open-source set of agent skills on GitHub that encodes his workflow for faux UI stills, animations and bento grids.
The package includes a SKILL.md with a seven-step process, React kit components with bundled CSS, and gold-standard demo examples. Taylor says a skill-guided agent produces more consistent results, but notes the skills do not catch dull ideas and that the rules reflect his own taste.
Meng Shao recommends the skills in an X post and gives the repository, github.com/benjitaylor/skills, and the install command npx skills add benjitaylor/skills --skill stageshow. Designer Guizang says on X that the skill improves UI animation, interaction results and typography, but these are his claims and no independent test is reported.
