What is the theme-factory skill?
The theme-factory skill is a SKILL.md in anthropics/skills with ten preset themes, each with a hex palette and a header and body font pair. The agent shows a showcase PDF, waits for your choice, then applies it to slides, docs, reports or HTML landing pages. It can also make a custom theme.
The theme-factory skill styles artifacts with a chosen theme. The folder holds a SKILL.md, a themes folder with one markdown file per theme and a showcase PDF that previews all of them.
Its stated purpose is slide decks, documents, reports and HTML landing pages. The workflow is a choice step: the agent shows the showcase, asks which theme you want, waits for confirmation, then applies it.
What changes in your agent's output
- The agent offers ten themes: Ocean Depths, Sunset Boulevard, Forest Canopy, Modern Minimalist, Golden Hour, Arctic Frost, Desert Rose, Tech Innovation, Botanical Garden and Midnight Galaxy.
- Each theme comes with a hex palette, a header and body font pair, and a best-used-for note.
- Ocean Depths, for example, uses Deep Navy
#1a2332, Teal#2d8b8b, Seafoam#a8dadcand Cream#f1faeewith DejaVu Sans. - If none fits, the skill can generate a custom theme.

Frequently asked questions
What is the theme-factory skill?
It is the skills/theme-factory folder in anthropics/skills. It holds ten preset themes with palettes and font pairs, a showcase PDF and a workflow for applying a chosen theme to slides, documents, reports or HTML pages.
How do I install the theme-factory skill?
Clone anthropics/skills with git, then copy skills/theme-factory into your agent's skills folder, including the themes folder and the showcase PDF. Invoke it on an artifact and pick a theme when the agent asks.
Which themes are included?
Ocean Depths, Sunset Boulevard, Forest Canopy, Modern Minimalist, Golden Hour, Arctic Frost, Desert Rose, Tech Innovation, Botanical Garden and Midnight Galaxy. Each is a markdown file with palette, fonts and a best-used-for note.
Can I make my own theme?
Yes. The skill can generate a custom theme when no preset suits you. For a full brand foundation with color ramps and light and dark modes, brandkit goes further than a single theme file.
Does it work for websites?
The stated targets include HTML landing pages, along with slides, documents and reports. For production interfaces, pair it with frontend-design and move into WordPress with UiChemy rather than hand-copying values.
Which AI agents can use theme-factory?
It is a SKILL.md folder, so any agent that loads skills from a folder can use it, including Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. The showcase PDF is for you to view when choosing, so open it on your machine.
How is it different from brand-guidelines?
Theme-factory is a menu of ten themes. Brand-guidelines is one brand, Anthropic's, with fixed colors and fonts. Use theme-factory to choose a look and brand-guidelines as a template for your own brand skill.
