SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Existing websites and apps often carry generic AI-generated design patterns—default fonts, purple-blue gradients, three-card layouts, and missing interaction states—that make products look unfinished. This Skill audits a codebase for those patterns and applies targeted visual upgrades without breaking functionality. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Audit: Scans the codebase to identify the framework and styling method, then diagnoses issues across typography, color, layout, interactivity, content, components, iconography, and code quality. - Targeted Upgrades: Applies high-impact fixes in priority order—font swaps, palette cleanup, hover/active states, layout and spacing corrections, and loading/empty/error states. - Use Case: You have a working SaaS dashboard built with Tailwind that looks generic. Run this Skill to replace default fonts, fix the three-column card layout, add skeleton loaders and focus rings, and align buttons across pricing cards—without migrating frameworks or rewriting components. ## Quick Start Redesign this existing project by auditing its current design patterns and applying premium upgrades while preserving all functionality.

FAQPage Schema
How do I redesign an existing website without breaking functionality?

Scan the codebase to identify the framework and styling method, diagnose generic patterns with a structured audit, then apply targeted fixes in priority order. Start with font swaps and color cleanup, then add interaction states, and test after every change.

What are the most common AI-generated design patterns to avoid?

Common patterns include purple-blue gradients, Inter font everywhere, three equal card columns, pure black backgrounds, generic box-shadows, and Lucide icons. Replace them with a single desaturated accent, off-black surfaces, asymmetric layouts, and a distinctive font.

Does this redesign approach work with Tailwind CSS projects?

Yes, it works with Tailwind, vanilla CSS, styled-components, and other styling methods. Check the Tailwind version (v3 vs v4) before modifying config, and work within the existing stack rather than migrating frameworks.

What should I fix first when upgrading a website's design?

Start with a font swap, which gives the biggest visual improvement at the lowest risk. Then clean up the color palette, add hover and active states, fix layout and spacing, replace generic components, and finish with loading, empty, and error states.

Why does my mobile layout jump when using 100vh sections?

Using height: 100vh causes layout jumping on mobile browsers due to the iOS Safari viewport behavior. Replace it with min-height: 100dvh so full-screen sections account for the dynamic browser chrome.
