SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? LLM-generated frontend code tends to fall back on the same templated aesthetics: AI-purple gradients, centered heroes, three equal feature cards, and default Inter typography. This Skill forces the agent to read the brief first, infer the right design direction, and ship interfaces that look deliberately designed rather than auto-generated. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Brief Inference and Design Read: Analyzes page kind, vibe words, references, audience, and brand assets to produce a one-line design read before writing any code, with CI-mode defaults when no human can clarify. - Three-Dial Configuration: Tunes DESIGN_VARIANCE, MOTION_INTENSITY, and VISUAL_DENSITY via inference tables and use-case presets to drive layout, motion, and density decisions. - Design System Mapping and Anti-Slop Rules: Selects official design systems (Fluent, Material, Carbon, shadcn/ui, Tailwind v4) when appropriate, and enforces hard pre-flight rules on typography, color, hero layout, eyebrows, CTAs, contrast, and image assets. - Use Case: Given a brief for a premium consumer cookware landing page, the Skill derives a non-default palette (avoiding the banned beige-and-brass family), picks an asymmetric hero layout, generates real image assets, and passes a mechanical pre-flight audit before shipping. ## Quick Start Use the taste-skill to design and build a landing page for my SaaS product based on this brief, inferring the design direction and running the full pre-flight check before shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions about taste-skill

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 reads page kind, vibe words, audience, and brand assets before writing code. Then set variance, motion, and density dials and enforce anti-default rules banning AI-purple gradients, centered heroes, and generic feature cards.

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

Match the system to the brief: Fluent for Microsoft-style enterprise, Material 3 for Google-flavored products, Carbon for IBM-style B2B, shadcn/ui or Tailwind v4 for modern SaaS. Use one official system per project and never recreate its CSS by hand.

Does this approach work in CI pipelines without human feedback?

Yes. In CI mode the agent derives a single best design read from the brief's signals, defaults to the conservative option when ambiguous, declares the assumption in a one-line Design Read, and proceeds without asking clarifying questions.

When should I use serif fonts in web design?

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

Why do AI-built heroes fail pre-flight layout checks?

Common failures include headlines exceeding two lines, subtext over 20 words, top padding above pt-24, more than four text elements, and CTAs hidden below the fold. Fix by reducing font scale, cutting copy, or moving trust elements below the hero.

What are the limitations of aesthetic trends like glassmorphism on the web?

Trends like glassmorphism, bento grids, and Apple Liquid Glass have no official web package, so implementations are approximations using backdrop-filter and layered borders. Always provide solid-fill fallbacks for reduced-transparency preferences and label approximations honestly.
