in plain english

This repository is a set of AI agent skills built to help designers and studios prepare entries for international design awards, such as iF Design Award, Red Dot, IDEA, and several others. It is meant to plug into agent tools like Claude Code or Codex, giving the AI a structured way to help with the whole award submission process instead of answering one off questions. The skills are broken into separate modules, each handling one piece of the process. One module searches for and verifies similar past winning entries from official award sources. Another evaluates a design and its presentation materials against a scoring rubric, separating facts from the AI's own inferences. A third compares different award tracks and categories to suggest which ones fit a project best. A fourth helps draft the written text required for a submission, again keeping user supplied facts separate from anything the AI infers. A final module checks a finished submission package against that year's official rules and gives a go, conditional go, or no go verdict. A pipeline skill can chain these together automatically when someone is not sure which one to use. The project states clearly that it favors official award sources over search summaries or third party pages, and that its scoring is meant to support a person's decision, not predict whether an entry will actually win. It also includes a dataset of over 22000 observed past entries used only as background context, not as a way to guess odds of winning. Installation happens through a command line tool called npx skills, which can install the skills globally or per project into supported agent tools including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and several others. Once installed, a user simply describes their task in plain language, such as asking it to compare which awards fit a product, and the right skill is triggered. The project is aimed at designers, design studios, and teams managing design award submissions, and assumes basic comfort installing command line tools and using an AI coding agent.
