SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? LLM-generated frontend code tends to fall back on the same templated aesthetic: AI-purple gradients, centered heroes, three equal feature cards, and Inter on slate. 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 machine-generated. ## 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: Selects official packages (Fluent, Material, Carbon, Polaris, GOV.UK Frontend, shadcn/ui, Tailwind v4) when the brief matches a real system, and gives honest implementation guidance for aesthetics like glassmorphism, bento, and brutalism. - Anti-Slop Guardrails: Enforces hard rules on typography, color palettes, hero layout, eyebrows, CTA contrast, bento rhythm, and a mandatory pre-flight check before shipping. - Use Case: Ask the agent to redesign a portfolio homepage; it declares a design read, sets dials, picks fonts and an accent palette, builds the page with real images, and audits every section against the pre-flight checklist. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design a landing page or portfolio from your brief, for example: build a minimalist landing page for my B2B SaaS product aimed at technical buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions about design-taste-frontend

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop AI-generated landing pages from looking templated?

Start with a brief inference step that identifies page kind, audience, and vibe before writing code. Then set explicit dials for layout variance, motion intensity, and visual density, and enforce bans on defaults like purple gradients, centered heroes, and Inter on slate.

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

For indie and small-team SaaS, Tailwind v4 utilities with shadcn/ui components is the default. If the brief matches an established ecosystem, use the official package instead, such as Fluent for Microsoft-style products or Carbon for IBM-style B2B.

Does this approach work with Next.js and React Server Components?

Yes. The default stack is React or Next.js with Server Components. Any component using Motion, scroll listeners, or pointer physics must be an isolated client leaf with 'use client', while server components render static layouts only.

When should I use a serif font 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, default to a sans display face like Geist Display or Cabinet Grotesk.

Why do AI-built sites fail accessibility contrast checks?

Common failures include white text on white buttons, light placeholders on near-white forms, and ghost buttons over photos without a scrim. The fix is a mandatory audit: every CTA and form element must meet WCAG AA contrast ratios before shipping.

What are the limitations of this frontend design approach?

It targets landing pages, portfolios, and redesigns, not dashboards, data tables, or multi-step product UI. It also depends on image-generation tools or real photography sources; without them, pages ship with labeled placeholder slots instead of fake CSS illustrations.
