design-taste-frontend

design-taste-frontend is a skill for Claude Code from ariadoss/superskills. It costs 55 tokens per session (891 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design and engineering rules for building polished React or Next.js interfaces, including dashboards and SaaS products.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or refining frontend screens, dashboards, admin panels, or SaaS interfaces that need consistent visual and technical decisions.
Why use it?
It reduces generic-looking interfaces by setting deliberate rules for typography, color, layout, motion, dependencies, and component structure.

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

design-taste-frontend 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 11d 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.

Design Taste Frontend — High-Agency UI/UX Engineering System

A comprehensive frontend architecture guide establishing baseline configurations and engineering directives for premium interface design.

Core Configuration Dials

Three primary dials (adjustable per request):

Dial Default Range Effect
Design Variance 8 1–10 How distinctive vs. conventional the design is
Motion Intensity 6 1–10 Amount and complexity of animations
Visual Density 4 1–10 Information density (4 = comfortable)

Users can override via explicit requests ("make it more minimal", "less animation").

Architectural Requirements

  • Framework: React/Next.js with Server Components as default
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS for 90% of styling coverage
  • Viewport: min-h-[100dvh] not h-screen (prevents iOS Safari layout issues)
  • Dependencies: Always verify in package.json before importing

Design Engineering Directives

Typography

  • Avoid Inter for premium contexts — choose distinctive alternatives
  • Never generic system font stacks for display text
  • Establish typographic hierarchy before layout

Color

  • Maximum one accent color below 80% saturation
  • No pure black (#000000) — use off-black (#0a0a0a, #111111)
  • No purple/blue AI aesthetic gradients (most identifiable AI design fingerprint)

Layout

  • Reject centered Hero sections when Design Variance > 4
  • Use asymmetric grids, not three equal columns for feature rows
  • Bento grid layouts for dashboard-style content

Motion

  • Spring physics: stiffness: 100, damping: 20 (Framer Motion)
  • Staggered animations with staggerChildren
  • Perpetual micro-interactions on dashboard cards (not on every click)

Bias Correction — Anti-AI-Default Patterns

Combat common AI design defaults:

  • Liquid Glass refraction effects for depth
  • Magnetic micro-physics for interactive elements
  • Motion that responds to cursor proximity without React state

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.
