skills/webflow-designer-api/SKILL.md
Work with the Webflow Designer API — either by building Designer Extensions (iframes inside the Webflow Designer) or by generating code snippets for the Designer API Playground. Covers element manipulation, styles, components, pages, variables, assets, error handling, CLI usage, and UI design patterns. Use when creating, debugging, or modifying Designer Extensions, OR when the user wants to run Designer API code in the Playground app.

This skill helps users work with the Webflow Designer API through two workflows. Start by asking the user which workflow they'd like to use, or infer from context if it's obvious.
Build full extensions with a UI that run inside the Webflow Designer as iframes. Best for reusable tools, complex workflows, and apps you want to ship to a team or the Marketplace. → See references/designer-extension-workflow.md
Write and run standalone code snippets directly in the Playground app inside the Designer. Best for quick prototyping, testing API methods, learning the API, and one-off automations. → See references/playground-workflow.md
Each reference file includes YAML frontmatter with name, description, and tags for searchability. Use the search script available in scripts/search_references.py to quickly find relevant references by tag or keyword.
Both workflows use the same webflow.* Designer API. Once you know the workflow, use these references to write the actual code:
webflow.* methods in one table (start here)# List all references with metadata
python scripts/search_references.py --list
# Search by tag (exact match)
python scripts/search_references.py --tag <tag>
# Search by keyword (across name, description, tags, and content)
python scripts/search_references.py --search <query>
scripts/search_references.py: Search reference files by tag, keyword, or list all with metadataassets/webflow-variables.css — CSS variables for Webflow's design systemassets/install-playground-prompt.md — Copyable prompt for installing the Designer API Playground via Claude Cowork or the Claude Chrome Extensiondevelopment
Receive and verify Webflow webhooks. Use when setting up Webflow webhook handlers, debugging signature verification, or handling Webflow events like form_submission, site_publish, ecomm_new_order, or collection item changes.
development
Webflow Enterprise API endpoints for workspace management, audit logs, site activity, 301 redirects, robots.txt, and well-known files. Use when working with Enterprise-only Webflow API endpoints that require an Enterprise workspace.
development
Build, define, and import React code components into Webflow via DevLink. Use when creating Webflow code components, configuring declareComponent definitions, working with prop types, styling within Shadow DOM, bundling with Webpack, or troubleshooting DevLink imports.
development
Control Webflow Analyze and Optimize from JavaScript via the Browser API. Use when managing tracking consent, integrating CMPs (OneTrust, TrustArc), tracking experiment variations, setting custom visitor attributes, or personalizing user experiences.
