Free. No login required. Works with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any tool that supports skill or prompt files.

Built from ZURB's work with teams at Disney, Facebook, McAfee, SimpleNursing, Everpure, and enterprise product organizations worldwide.

What's in the box

Multiple skill packages. One install.

The Glare AI Skills package is grouped around the places teams most often lose the thread: connecting decisions to outcomes, running reviews that actually decide, and measuring what design changed.

All three packages ship in a single install — open one for the full breakdown.

Get started

Get started in under five minutes

Install the package, load it into your AI tool, and run one skill on a real decision. That's the loop.

  1. Install

    Choose one. Both install the same package.

    Download the zip

    Unzip wherever your AI tool reads skills from.

    Download glare-skills-full.zip

    Run the install command

    Places the skills in your tool's standard skills directory.

    npx skills add zurb/glare-skills

    Detects the AI tools installed on your machine (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more) and installs the skills into each. Installs into the current project by default; pass -g to install globally for every project.

  2. Load it into your AI tool

    • ·Claude Code / Claude Desktop: skills are picked up automatically from ~/.claude/skills/.
    • ·Cursor: skills load from ~/.cursor/skills/ and project-level .cursor/skills/.
    • ·ChatGPT / generic: copy the skill body into your custom instructions, project files, or system prompt.

  3. Run a skill on a real decision

    Pick a live problem: a concept debate, a feedback pile, an unclear roadmap call. Start with the glare-create-first-signal skill. It walks you through turning a hunch into a signal you can act on.

  4. Capture and share the signal

    The skill produces a decision-ready output. Drop it into your next review, roadmap doc, or Slack thread. The signal becomes the artifact, not the conversation.
