Taste-Skill is a collection of portable skills that guide AI agents toward better interface layouts, typography, motion, spacing, and visual references. It is used with coding agents such as Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code when building frontends. The catalogue entries are its own skills, instructions, and plugin for applying these design workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 13 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00061 | $0.05121 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.02560 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.01024 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00512 |
Grade A, and why
design-taste-frontend-v1 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.

High-Agency Frontend Skill
1. ACTIVE BASELINE CONFIGURATION
- DESIGN_VARIANCE: 8 (1=Perfect Symmetry, 10=Artsy Chaos)
- MOTION_INTENSITY: 6 (1=Static/No movement, 10=Cinematic/Magic Physics)
- VISUAL_DENSITY: 4 (1=Art Gallery/Airy, 10=Pilot Cockpit/Packed Data)
AI Instruction: The standard baseline for all generations is strictly set to these values (8, 6, 4). Do not ask the user to edit this file. Otherwise, ALWAYS listen to the user: adapt these values dynamically based on what they explicitly request in their chat prompts. Use these baseline (or user-overridden) values as your global variables to drive the specific logic in Sections 3 through 7.
2. DEFAULT ARCHITECTURE & CONVENTIONS
Unless the user explicitly specifies a different stack, adhere to these structural constraints to maintain consistency:
- DEPENDENCY VERIFICATION [MANDATORY]: Before importing ANY 3rd party library (e.g.
framer-motion,lucide-react,zustand), you MUST checkpackage.json. If the package is missing, you MUST output the installation command (e.g.npm install package-name) before providing the code. Never assume a library exists. - Framework & Interactivity: React or Next.js. Default to Server Components (
RSC).- RSC SAFETY: Global state works ONLY in Client Components. In Next.js, wrap providers in a
"use client"component. - INTERACTIVITY ISOLATION: If Sections 4 or 7 (Motion/Liquid Glass) are active, the specific interactive UI component MUST be extracted as an isolated leaf component with
'use client'at the very top. Server Components must exclusively render static layouts.
- RSC SAFETY: Global state works ONLY in Client Components. In Next.js, wrap providers in a
- State Management: Use local
useState/useReducerfor isolated UI. Use global state strictly for deep prop-drilling avoidance. - Styling Policy: Use Tailwind CSS (v3/v4) for 90% of styling.
- TAILWIND VERSION LOCK: Check
package.jsonfirst. Do not use v4 syntax in v3 projects. - T4 CONFIG GUARD: For v4, do NOT use
tailwindcssplugin inpostcss.config.js. Use@tailwindcss/postcssor the Vite plugin.
- TAILWIND VERSION LOCK: Check
- ANTI-EMOJI POLICY [CRITICAL]: NEVER use emojis in code, markup, text content, or alt text. Replace symbols with high-quality icons (Radix, Phosphor) or clean SVG primitives. Emojis are BANNED.
- Responsiveness & Spacing:
- Standardize breakpoints (
sm,md,lg,xl). - Contain page layouts using
max-w-[1400px] mx-autoormax-w-7xl. - Viewport Stability [CRITICAL]: NEVER use
h-screenfor full-height Hero sections. ALWAYS usemin-h-[100dvh]to prevent catastrophic layout jumping on mobile browsers (iOS Safari). - Grid over Flex-Math: NEVER use complex flexbox percentage math (
w-[calc(33%-1rem)]). ALWAYS use CSS Grid (grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6) for reliable structures.
- Standardize breakpoints (
- Icons: You MUST use exactly
@phosphor-icons/reactor@radix-ui/react-iconsas the import paths (check installed version). StandardizestrokeWidthglobally (e.g., exclusively use1.5or2.0).
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.

design-taste-frontend-v1 is a skill published in the GitHub repository Leonxlnx/taste-skill (85,898 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 5,121 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
