taste-enforcement

taste-enforcement is a cursor rule for Cursor from Kevin-Liu-01/Sigil-UI. It costs 2,171 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for making frontend interfaces distinctive and consistent, while adapting the visual style to the requested mood. It also requires Sigil's shared design values to be used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing a frontend, especially when choosing layouts, visual style, motion, and how components consume Sigil design values.
Why use it?
It reduces generic-looking interface decisions and gives later design skills a common set of constraints.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

taste-enforcement scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Taste Enforcement — Anti-Slop Frontend Rules

Adapted from tasteskill.dev for Sigil's token-driven architecture. These rules override default LLM biases that produce generic, forgettable frontends. Cross-reference with sigil-design-system.mdc for token consumption rules.

Available taste skills (user-level at ~/.cursor/skills/taste-*/SKILL.md):

  • taste-core — general anti-slop default
  • taste-gpt — GPT/Codex stricter variant
  • taste-image-to-code — image-first then implement
  • taste-redesign — audit existing UI
  • taste-soft — premium calm/expensive
  • taste-output — output completeness
  • taste-minimalist — editorial monochrome
  • taste-brutalist — Swiss/CRT/terminal
  • taste-stitch — Google Stitch DESIGN.md
  • taste-imagegen-web — web reference images
  • taste-imagegen-mobile — mobile screen images
  • taste-brandkit — brand-kit overview images

See taste-skills-index.mdc for the full selection guide.

Variance Baseline

These dials drive all downstream decisions. Adjust per-prompt when the user specifies a different mood.

Dial Default Range What It Controls
DESIGN_VARIANCE 8 1-10 Layout asymmetry, grid complexity, whitespace distribution
MOTION_INTENSITY 6 1-10 Animation density, spring physics, scroll effects
VISUAL_DENSITY 4 1-10 Spacing tightness, card usage, data presentation

Interpret user requests dynamically: "make it airy" → VISUAL_DENSITY 2; "dashboard" → VISUAL_DENSITY 7-8; "cinematic" → MOTION_INTENSITY 8-9.

Banned Visual Patterns (Hard Failures)

These patterns are the hallmark of generic AI output. Never produce them.

Layout

  • Centered hero + blur blobs when DESIGN_VARIANCE > 4. Use split-screen, left-aligned, or asymmetric whitespace.
  • 3 equal cards in a row for feature sections. Use 2-column zig-zag, asymmetric bento, or horizontal scroll.
  • h-screen for full-height sections. Always use min-h-[100dvh].
  • Flexbox percentage math (w-[calc(33%-1rem)]). Use CSS Grid.
  • Complex layouts without mobile fallback. Levels 4-10 variance MUST collapse to single-column below md:.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
