Divi 5 Skill — free and open source
Teach any AI to speak Divi 5.
A set of plain Markdown files that document how valid, re-themeable Divi 5 markup is actually written. Point an AI at them and it stops guessing.
Divi 5 is a format, and most AI has never read it.
Writing Divi blind
Writing Divi with the Skill
Contents
What is actually in it.
Fifteen reference files, attached as a job needs them rather than all at once. Two of them go in every time; the rest are picked for the page being built.
Always on
The core rules
The block format itself, which container may hold which, the validation pass, and the specific mistakes that publish an empty page.
DIVI5-BASE.md
Always on
A design process
Makes the AI ask a few focused questions, then plan the page — intent, narrative, blueprint, a pass of self-critique — before writing a line.
DIVI5-DESIGN-PROCESS.md
Structure
Layout
Sections, rows, columns and groups, the Divi 5.9 grid editor, and global layouts you can reuse across a site.
DIVI5-LAYOUT.md
Look
Styling
Backgrounds and gradients, spacing, borders, typography, text fill and stroke effects, aspect ratio — and how to point at a colour the site already has rather than paste a hex value.
DIVI5-STYLING.md
Modules
Every module, in six files
Content, interactive, media, data, dynamic (blog, portfolio, menus, the loop builder) and WooCommerce — with the settings each module really takes.
DIVI5-MODULES-*.md
Reuse
Presets and patterns
How global presets are stored and addressed, plus real layout patterns to build from instead of starting at an empty page.
DIVI5-PRESETS.md
Honesty
A coverage map
Which entries were render-tested on a real Divi install, which were read out of the theme source and not confirmed yet, and which do not work at all. It is the most useful file in the set.
DIVI5-COVERAGE.md
The Skill teaches. The connector reaches.
Two different jobs, and either one works on its own. The Skill gives an AI the syntax; Divi Connect gives it your actual website.
Free, open
Divi 5 Skill
Teaches an AI the format. What comes back is Divi 5 markup that you import or paste yourself. No plugin, no site access, no key, nothing to buy.

Plugin
Divi Connect
Gives the AI live access to one site: it reads your real design system, builds into the page, and publishes. It carries the Skill inside it.

Together
Both at once
Divi Connect loads its own copy of the Skill, matched to your plugin version, so installing this one as well is genuinely optional — useful when you also do Divi work outside the plugin.
Free to use
No key, no account, no cost.
MIT licensed
Read it, fork it, ship it inside your own tooling. Keeping the licence notice is the only condition.
Works with any AI that reads files
It is Markdown, not code. Attach the files a job needs to whichever assistant you already use.
Kept level with Divi
Version 0.6.9 tracks the Divi 5.11.1 builder. When Divi adds an authoring surface the Skill documents it — and says whether it has been render-tested yet.
Free, and it stays free.
The Divi 5 Skill is open source and always will be — take it, fork it, use it with any AI you like. Divi Connect is what puts it to work on a live site, from $39 a year.
You do not need a licence, an account or an email address to use the Skill. The repository is the product.
