SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated web designs tend to cluster around a few generic looks—cream backgrounds with serif displays, dark themes with acid accents, or broadsheet layouts—regardless of the subject. This Skill provides a disciplined design process that produces intentional, subject-specific visual identities instead of templated defaults. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Planning Framework: Brainstorm a compact token system covering color (4-6 named hex values), typography (display, body, and utility faces), layout concepts with ASCII wireframes, and a single signature element. - Self-Critique Workflow: Review the plan against the brief before building, revise anything that reads as a generic default, then build exactly to the revised plan. - UX Writing Guidance: Write interface copy with active voice, consistent action naming, and purposeful error and empty states. - Use Case: When asked to build a landing page for a new product, use this Skill to ground the palette, type pairing, and hero concept in the product's own world rather than falling back on a familiar template. ## Quick Start Design a landing page for my project using the frontend-design skill, with a distinctive visual direction grounded in the product's subject matter.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated web designs look less generic?

Ground every design choice in the subject's own world—its materials, instruments, and vernacular—rather than defaulting to common patterns. Plan a token system with named colors, deliberate type pairings, and one signature element, then critique the plan against the brief before coding.

What is a good process for planning a website's visual design?

Work in two passes: first brainstorm a compact plan covering color, typography, layout, and a signature element, then review it against the brief and revise anything that reads as a generic default. Only start writing code after confirming the plan is specific to this brief.

How should typography be chosen for a web page?

Pair a characterful display face used with restraint with a complementary body face, plus a utility face for captions or data if needed. Set a clear type scale with intentional weights, widths, and spacing so the type treatment itself becomes a memorable part of the design.

When should animation be used in web design?

Use animation only where it serves the subject, such as a page-load sequence, scroll-triggered reveal, or hover micro-interactions. One orchestrated moment usually lands harder than scattered effects, and excess animation can make a design feel AI-generated.

What are common mistakes in AI-generated CSS layouts?

A frequent issue is CSS selector specificity conflicts, where type-based and element-based classes cancel each other out, especially with paddings and margins between sections. Structure selectors carefully and derive every color and type decision from the design plan.
