TypeUI's design skills are markdown: buttons, navigation, spacing, accessibility, written by a co-founder with fifteen years in UI and UX. Zoltan would rather give a coding model that file than start in Figma. A Figma board is a picture the model has to guess at. A markdown skill is an instruction it can follow. If you sell taste to people who generate code, write the taste down in the format the model already reads. Then charge for the file, the motion, the sound, and the audit, not for another component zip.
