Framer Skills: teaching the agent how your site is designed
Skills let Framer teams write down how pages, CMS content and checks should work, so the built-in agent produces on-brand first drafts.
Framer introduced Skills for its built-in agent on 22 September 2026. A skill is a set of reusable instructions that tells the agent how a project should be designed and what it should check before finishing a task.
How it works
A skill can point the agent to a page of components and say: use this by default when you design something new. It can describe how headings step down, how much space a section needs, how CMS content is structured or which checks to run. Results stay fully editable on the canvas, and you can keep prompting from the current state.
Templates with skills
The most interesting part for template creators: skills travel with a project when someone remixes it. Instead of filling a template with dummy pages and CMS entries, a creator can ship a focused starting point plus a skill that explains how new pages should follow the original design. Framer also offers a Skills Index with ready-made skills for SEO, accessibility, content and launch checks.
Why it matters
Design systems are turning into written instructions as much as visual libraries. Templates that document their own logic will be easier for customers and their agents to extend.
