SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated frontend code tends to look templated: purple gradients, centered heroes, three equal feature cards, and generic glassmorphism. This Skill forces the agent to read the brief first, infer the right design direction, and ship landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns that do not look like default LLM output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Brief Inference and Design Read: Analyzes page kind, vibe words, references, audience, and constraints, then declares a one-line design read before writing any code. - Three-Dial Configuration: Tunes DESIGN_VARIANCE, MOTION_INTENSITY, and VISUAL_DENSITY based on the brief, with presets for SaaS landings, portfolios, editorial sites, and public-sector services. - Design System Mapping: Routes briefs to official packages (Fluent, Material 3, Carbon, Polaris, GOV.UK, shadcn/ui, Tailwind v4) instead of hand-rolled imitations, with honesty rules for aesthetics like glassmorphism and bento grids. - Hard Layout Rules and Pre-Flight Checks: Enforces hero viewport fit, eyebrow restraint, CTA contrast and wrap bans, palette locks, and section-layout diversity before shipping. - Use Case: Ask for a redesign of a premium consumer cookware landing page and receive a React/Tailwind implementation with a non-default palette, real image assets, and a passing pre-flight audit. ## Quick Start Redesign my SaaS landing page so it looks like a Linear-style minimalist site and audit it against the pre-flight checklist before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions about design-taste-frontend

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated landing pages not look templated?

Start with a brief inference step that identifies page kind, audience, and vibe before writing code, then set variance, motion, and density dials accordingly. Avoid default patterns like purple gradients, centered heroes, and three equal feature cards, and run a pre-flight audit before shipping.

What design system should I use for a React landing page?

Match the system to the brief: shadcn/ui or Tailwind v4 for modern SaaS, Fluent for Microsoft-style enterprise, Material 3 for Google-flavored products, Carbon for IBM-style B2B, and GOV.UK or USWDS for public-sector sites. Use one official system per project rather than hand-rolling its CSS.

Does this skill work with Next.js and Tailwind v4?

Yes, Next.js with React Server Components and Tailwind v4 are the default stack. Interactive components using Motion must be isolated client components, and Tailwind v4 requires @tailwindcss/postcss or the Vite plugin instead of the old PostCSS setup.

When should I use serif fonts in web design?

Serif is appropriate only when the brand brief names a serif font or the aesthetic is genuinely editorial, luxury, or heritage. For creative agencies, portfolios, and modern brands, sans-serif display fonts like Geist Display or Cabinet Grotesk are the correct default.

Why does my hero section break on mobile Safari?

Using h-screen for full-height heroes causes layout jumps because of the iOS Safari address bar. Use min-h-[100dvh] instead, keep hero top padding under pt-24, and ensure the headline fits in two lines with CTAs visible without scrolling.

What are the limits of this frontend design skill?

It is scoped to landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns, not dashboards, data tables, or multi-step product UI. It also requires real image assets for visual sections and will flag placeholder slots rather than ship hand-rolled fake screenshots.
