Frequently Asked Questions

Claude defaults to its own training unless you explicitly direct it. It doesn’t automatically reach for installed skills — it answers generically first.

The fix is a four-word prefix. Start every prompt with “Use DesignerTasksAI to…” and Claude will always invoke your skill library instead of guessing.

You don’t need to know which of the 200+ tasks to use — DesignerTasksAI finds the right framework automatically.

Full explanation, copy-paste examples, and the Projects trick to skip the prefix entirely: “Use DesignerTasksAI to…” — The Phrase That Unlocks Everything →

Claude Desktop asks permission every time a tool runs. If that prompt was dismissed even once, your skills are silently blocked for the rest of the conversation — no error, Claude just answers normally.

Fix it permanently in 30 seconds: go to Settings → Connectors → Customize → designertasksai and set all four tools to Always allow. Start a new conversation and it works every time.

ⓘ Cursor, Windsurf, and Cline don’t have this permission system — skip this if you’re on those clients.

DesignerTasksAI is a plugin for AI desktop apps (Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, Cursor, and more) that gives you 200+ pre-built, expert-crafted task templates for Graphic designers, interior designers, and creative agencies. Instead of figuring out how to prompt an AI, you pick a task, answer its specific questions, and get professional-quality output immediately.

DesignerTasksAI works with popular AI desktop apps: OpenClaw, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others. It does not require a specific AI model — you can use Claude, GPT-4, or a local model through OpenClaw + Ollama.

Visit the Getting Started page for step-by-step instructions for every supported platform. OpenClaw users can install with one command: openclaw skills install designer. MCP users download a zip and run the installer.

Generic AI gives general answers that require expert follow-up to verify and format. DesignerTasksAI tasks are pre-engineered to ask the right questions, follow the right methodology, apply domain-specific rules, and produce structured output ready to use. You don't need to know how to write a good prompt — that work is already done.

No. DesignerTasksAI uses a pay-as-you-go credit model. You buy a credit pack and use credits whenever you need them. One credit = one task. Credits never expire, so you're never pressured to use them by a deadline.

Yes — sign up for a free account and get 5 credits instantly, no credit card required. Use them on any task across the full library to see the quality before you commit.

Credits are purchased on the Buy Credits page. Choose a pack, enter your email, and complete checkout via Stripe. Your license key is emailed instantly. No subscription — you only pay when you want more credits.

No. Credits never expire. Buy a pack when you need it and use them at your own pace — whether that's daily or once a month.

Yes — DesignerTasksAI provides the task templates and structure; you supply the AI. You'll need an account with an AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) or use a free local model via OpenClaw + Ollama. The AI provider charges are separate from DesignerTasksAI credits.

Yes. DesignerTasksAI never receives your documents, queries, or client data — our servers only handle skill delivery and credit accounting. Your data goes to your AI provider (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) under your own account and their privacy policy.

Anthropic's ZDR API means your inputs and outputs are never stored at Anthropic either — not even temporarily. For the most sensitive professional work, use DesignerTasksAI with OpenClaw + the Anthropic ZDR API for maximum confidentiality.

Yes. With OpenClaw + Ollama you can run a local AI model entirely on your machine. Nothing leaves your device — not your prompts, not your documents, not your output. DesignerTasksAI still needs an internet connection to validate your license and deliver tasks, but the AI processing itself is 100% local.

Yes. When we improve a task or update it for regulatory or workflow changes, all users get the updated version automatically at no extra charge. With generic AI, you'd need to notice the change yourself and update your own prompts.

DesignerTasksAI includes 200+ expert-built tasks covering the full range of work Graphic designers, interior designers, and creative agencies do. Browse the complete list on the Task Library page.

Yes — email us at [email protected] with your request. We review all requests and prioritize based on demand. Include a description of the task and how you'd use it.
