design-taste-frontend

design-taste-frontend is a skill for Claude Code from naveedharri/benai-skills. It costs 40 tokens per session (5,100 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of design-taste-frontend-v1, MIT.

A set of rules for designing and coding user interfaces, the screens people use to interact with software. It covers visual choices, component structure, CSS styling, motion, and checking that required libraries are installed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build or review frontend interfaces, especially React interfaces, with defined visual density, movement, component rules, and dependency checks.
Why use it?
It gives interface work a consistent starting point instead of leaving layout and code conventions entirely to guesswork. It also reduces errors from importing packages that the project does not have.

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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 227 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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 check package.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.
  • State Management: Use local useState/useReducer for 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.json first. Do not use v4 syntax in v3 projects.
    • T4 CONFIG GUARD: For v4, do NOT use tailwindcss plugin in postcss.config.js. Use @tailwindcss/postcss or the Vite plugin.
  • 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-auto or max-w-7xl.
    • Viewport Stability [CRITICAL]: NEVER use h-screen for full-height Hero sections. ALWAYS use min-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.
  • Icons: You MUST use exactly @phosphor-icons/react or @radix-ui/react-icons as the import paths (check installed version). Standardize strokeWidth globally (e.g., exclusively use 1.5 or 2.0).

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.
