Skill Claude CodeCodex
Diagnose your taste gaps across six skill areas. Know what to practice. Use when starting a taste development program, checking progress, or identifying specific areas to improve.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Task sequences, progressive disclosure, and the pacing of an experience over time. Use when designing multi-step flows, evaluating onboarding, or diagnosing why users get lost.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Animation as communication. Feedback, orientation, emphasis, delight. If motion doesn't serve one of these four purposes, it shouldn't exist. Use when evaluating animation quality, designing transitions, or deciding whether motion adds or subtracts.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Response timing, acknowledgment, and making the interface feel alive. Every action deserves a response at the right speed. Use when designing interactions, evaluating responsiveness, or diagnosing why a product feels sluggish or dead.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Understand the constraints a design was built under and evaluate quality within that context. Use when reviewing work that had limited time, budget, or team size, or when assessing whether constraints were handled well.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Rank multiple design solutions and explain why. Separate personal preference from quality judgment. Use when comparing design options, evaluating competing approaches, or making design decisions with clear reasoning.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use taste as a competitive moat and business advantage. In the AI and vibe-coding era, execution is commoditized. Taste is the defensible edge. Use when advising founders on product differentiation, building product culture, evaluating why some products win despite fewer features, or understanding taste as a strategic…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Navigate the gap between what you can see and what you can make. The Ira Glass gap. Use when a designer is frustrated by the distance between their taste and their output, when mentoring someone through a creative plateau, or when someone is considering quitting because their work doesn't match their vision.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Tell the difference between design decisions that age well and decisions that follow the crowd. Use when evaluating whether a design choice is principled or fashionable, or when a client asks to 'make it look modern.'.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Name what was prioritized, what was sacrificed, and whether the tradeoff was right. Every design decision trades something. Use when evaluating design decisions, defending choices, or helping teams understand what they're giving up.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Structured exposure habits for building taste through relentless, intentional consumption. Not passive scrolling. Active intake across design, architecture, film, music, food, and culture. Use when building a taste practice, advising on professional development, or diagnosing why someone's design range feels narrow.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Pull design principles from architecture, fashion, film, industrial design, and physical spaces into screen-based design. Use when seeking inspiration beyond digital, expanding creative range, or building cross-disciplinary design vocabulary.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Micro-decision analysis. Catalog the border radii, spacing scales, type sizes, and state coverage that most people miss. Use when auditing design systems, evaluating craft quality, or training granular perception.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Annotate and map the anatomy of any design. Identify visual hierarchy, spacing systems, color roles, and tension points through clinical analysis. Use when doing formal design audits, teaching design analysis, or building structured observation skills.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
The 10-second design audit. Look at any design and name what's working and what's not within seconds. Trains rapid pattern recognition for hierarchy, spacing, type, and color. Use when evaluating designs quickly, giving first-impression feedback, or building perception speed.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Draw from architecture, fashion, music, food, and industrial design to expand your design taste range. Use when seeking inspiration beyond digital, building diverse reference sets, or expanding creative vocabulary.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Build a reference system that returns the right reference in under 60 seconds. Use when setting up a design reference library, reorganizing existing collections, or helping teams build shared reference systems.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Tag design references by principle, not aesthetic. Build a library you can actually search. Use when saving references, organizing inspiration, or building a design library that returns useful results.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
15-minute daily taste exercises. Monday through Friday. Compound effect over time. Use when building personal practice habits, training a team's design eye, or adding structure to professional development.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Run taste-informed design reviews using Observation > Principle > Question. Use when facilitating design critiques, improving feedback quality on a team, or building a shared vocabulary for quality.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Help other designers develop judgment without imposing your style. Use when mentoring designers, running design education, or building team-wide quality standards.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Read a designer's taste through their typography decisions alone. Type is the fastest taste signal in any design. Use when evaluating design maturity, assessing portfolio quality, or understanding what typography reveals about design thinking.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Choose typefaces based on voice and context, not trends. Use when selecting fonts for a project, evaluating type choices, or understanding what a typeface communicates before anyone reads a word.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Scale, weight, line height, and tracking as a coherent system. Use when building type scales, auditing typography consistency, or diagnosing why text feels off.
