Framer has shipped Skills, a persistent instruction layer for its AI Agent that lets designers encode their design system rules, writing conventions, and CMS workflows into reusable, named commands.
The core mechanic is direct reference: Skills can point to specific @pages, @components, and @styles inside a Framer project, grounding the Agent in actual project assets rather than generic AI assumptions. That specificity is what separates this from a simple prompt template system.
The open question worth reading the full blog post for: how Skills interact with team-shared contexts, version control of the instructions themselves, and where the boundary sits between Agent autonomy and canvas control when a Skill conflicts with an existing design direction.
