Frontend Design

Frontend & Design

Creates distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that break free from generic AI aesthetics.

Overview

Frontend Design is an anti-"AI slop" skill that steers AI agents away from cookie-cutter output — no more default Inter/Roboto fonts, gratuitous purple gradients, or identical card-grid layouts. Instead, it pushes toward bold, intentional aesthetic directions that give each project a unique visual identity.

The skill provides concrete guidance on typography, color, motion, spatial composition, and background textures, enabling the agent to produce interfaces that look hand-crafted rather than template-generated.

When to Use

  • Starting a new frontend project and want a distinctive visual identity
  • Redesigning an existing UI that looks too "generic AI"
  • Need a specific aesthetic direction: brutalist, maximalist, retro-futuristic, organic, luxury, editorial, etc.
  • Want opinionated typography and color choices instead of safe defaults
  • Building landing pages, portfolios, or marketing sites where visual impact matters

Key Features

  • Anti-"AI slop" rules — explicitly avoids overused fonts, color schemes, and layout patterns
  • Bold aesthetic directions — brutalist, maximalist, retro-futuristic, organic, luxury, editorial, and more
  • Typography-first approach — distinctive font selections with strong hierarchy and personality
  • Color with intent — palettes chosen for mood and brand alignment, not just "looks nice"
  • Motion design — purposeful animations and transitions that enhance UX
  • Spatial composition — unconventional layouts, asymmetry, and whitespace as a design element
  • Backgrounds & textures — gradients, noise, grain, patterns, and layered depth
