frontend-design

frontend-design is a skill for Claude Code from anton-abyzov/vskill. It costs 133 tokens per session (2,160 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for building web interfaces such as pages, dashboards, and components, with checks in a real browser to see whether they look right.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or styling React, Vue, Svelte, HTML, or CSS interfaces that need a deliberate visual design and browser verification.
Why use it?
It helps catch layout, colour, and animation problems that are easy to miss when writing frontend code without viewing the result.

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

frontend-design 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 9d 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.

Frontend Design with Visual Verification

Build distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces — then verify they actually look right in a real browser. This skill closes the gap between "generate code" and "ship something beautiful" by combining bold design thinking with a browser-based verification loop.

Why Visual Verification Matters

Writing frontend code without seeing the result is like painting blindfolded. Generic AI-generated UIs happen because the model never sees what it produced — it can't catch misaligned layouts, clashing colors, or broken animations. This skill ensures you always close the loop: generate code, open it in a browser, see what it looks like, and iterate until it's genuinely good.

Phase 1: Design Thinking

Before writing any code, commit to a clear aesthetic direction. The goal is intentionality — bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work when executed with precision.

Aesthetic Direction

Pick a strong conceptual direction and execute it consistently:

  • Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
  • Tone: Choose something specific — brutally minimal, retro-futuristic, luxury editorial, organic/natural, playful, industrial, art deco, soft/pastel. Vague directions produce vague results.
  • Differentiation: What makes this memorable? Identify one signature element someone will remember.

Typography

Font choice is the single biggest design signal. Generic fonts (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system defaults) immediately signal "AI-generated."

  • Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font
  • Use a clear typographic scale (e.g., Golden Ratio: 1.618 multiplier between sizes)
  • Load fonts from Google Fonts or bundle them — never rely on system fonts for character
  • Vary choices across projects — converging on the same "safe" picks (Space Grotesk, Poppins) defeats the purpose

Color & Theme

  • Commit to a cohesive palette using CSS variables for consistency
  • A dominant color with sharp accents outperforms timid, evenly-distributed palettes
  • Dark mode: deep, rich backgrounds (not pure black) with vibrant accents that pop
  • Light mode: warm off-whites (not sterile #fff) with deeper accent variants
  • Never default to purple gradients on white — the most recognizable AI-slop pattern
