Skills are ready-made helpers that work inside any AI tool. Each skill knows how to do one thing really well: run a design review, find a UX metric, or map a decision.Together, the full set of skills gives teams a complete system for turning user research into product decisions and connecting design work to business outcomes.You can use skills by pasting a prompt or by running a quick install command. Skills work with Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, AI agents, and Glare Tools.Unlock skills in 3 simple steps:drop a design (or use case)tell your LLM what you wantget your answers!Get the Full Glare Skills PackageAll 60 skills. Everything Glare can do, all at once. Best if you want the full toolkit without picking and choosing.Or, paste this into your terminal:npx skills add -g zurb/glare-skills --yesWorks with:Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, and more…Install once with the skills package, then run any /glare-* skill in your AI tool.What you get:All Decision Map skills (Define, Measure, Focus, Lead)All Design Review skills (the SIGNAL framework)All UX Metrics skills (Attitudinal, Behavioral, Performance)Design Signals, Design Assessment, and more…Example outputHere is what the Glare skills produce when applied to a real project to determine the testing concepts and hunches for a Bank of America mobile dashboard.Individual Skills PackagesPick the package that matches what you need. Each one installs and runs on its own.UX Metrics SkillHelps teams choose and apply the right metrics across every stage of the work. Covers Attitudinal, Behavioral, and Performance metrics.Pick metrics that connect to real user behaviorDistinguish leading indicators from lagging onesCatch mismatches before they become bad decisionsConnect UX metrics to product and business outcomesDecision Map SkillHelps teams move from a user problem to a measurable outcome. Covers the full Decision Map: Define, Measure, Focus, and Lead.Define what users actually needMeasure with testable hypotheses and research questionsFocus on the strongest signals and make a clear decisionLead by connecting design work to business goalsDesign Review SkillTurns design meetings from scattered feedback into decisions with clear next steps. Built on the SIGNAL framework.Surface the real problem before jumping to solutionsIdentify what "better" actually meansGround feedback in evidence, not opinionNavigate, Align, Lock: pick a direction and make it stickWhy AI Skills MatterAI accelerated how quickly teams can generate ideas, concepts, prototypes, flows, and experiments. What did not accelerate at the same pace was judgment.Product and design teams now face a new problem:too much output and not enough structure for evaluating what deserves to move forward.AI Skills are repeatable operational systems tied directly to the Decision Map. They help teams move from:Ideas to evaluationPrompts to workflowsFeedback to signalsSignals to decisionsDecisions to measurable outcomesEach Skill defines how work should happen consistently across product and design workflows.What you get out of Glare AI SkillsSkills change how teams work, not just what they produce. Here is what gets better over time.Faster decisionsTeams spend less time debating and more time acting. Every skill produces a clear output that points to the next step.Consistent reviewsDesign reviews stop running differently every time. The SIGNAL framework gives every session the same structure, so findings are comparable and decisions hold.Evidence that travelsResearch findings stop living in decks. Skills connect signals to user needs, business goals, and the right audience at every level of the organization.Shared language across teamsProduct, design, engineering, and leadership start using the same terms for the same things. Fewer meetings spent realigning. Faster agreement on what to build next.Design work that earns trustWhen metrics connect to business outcomes and decisions are recorded with the evidence behind them, design stops being a service and starts being a strategic input.A system that gets stronger over timeEach sprint builds on the last. Skills create a repeatable structure that compounds: better questions lead to stronger signals, stronger signals lead to clearer decisions, and clearer decisions lead to outcomes the whole business can see.How AI Skills WorkInside Glare, AI Skills act as reusable operational layers inside the Decision Map.A typical workflow might:Frame a user problemGenerate multiple conceptsStructure testing criteriaCompare directionsAnalyze UX metricsIdentify stronger signalsGuide a recommendationPrepare a decision reviewEach Skill focuses on a specific part of the workflow. Together, they help teams create systems for:EvaluationComparisonInterpretationPrioritizationAlignmentDecision-makingAs workflows repeat, Skills help organizations create stronger operational consistency across product, design, research, and leadership teams.
