Taste Skill (dont minimalist-ui)
Skill : A reusable method: instructions, procedures, sometimes scripts or templates · requires claude-code
Collection of "anti-slop" skills for front-end work: bans purple gradients, Inter everywhere, and rows of rounded cards; variants include minimalist-ui, etc.
The best antidote to the "AI-generated" look; choose a single variant per project rather than installing everything at once.
Security reflects where data goes, requested permissions and incidents on record at the verification date. It is not a guarantee of zero risk: check the deployment mode and the connections you enable.
What it does, concretely
AI agents often produce interfaces that all look alike: purple gradients, Inter font applied everywhere, heavily rounded card corners, and generic animations. Taste Skill is a collection of rule files (SKILL.md) designed to correct these default reflexes and push the agent toward more considered visual choices.
In practice, you install one or more skills via an npx command, and the rule file is read by the agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, v0, Lovable, and others) before it generates front-end code. The default skill (v2, experimental) reads the project context, infers the appropriate visual direction, then applies strict rules on typography, spacing, motion, and density. Three numeric dials (DESIGN_VARIANCE, MOTION_INTENSITY, VISUAL_DENSITY, from 1 to 10) let you adjust the output without changing the underlying rules.
Taste Skill is aimed at developers and teams who use AI agents to build interfaces and want to avoid a generic look. Specialised skills cover specific cases: auditing existing projects (redesign-skill), minimalist editorial direction (minimalist-skill), brutalist aesthetics (brutalist-skill), generating reference images (imagegen-frontend-web, mobile, brandkit), and Google Stitch compatibility (stitch-skill).
Taste Skill is not a component library or code package: it generates nothing on its own and only works if the tool being used supports SKILL.md files. People who do not use an AI agent for coding will get no direct benefit from it.
What it offers
- ·Default v2 skill (experimental): reads the project context, infers the visual direction, and applies a strict ruleset before any code is generated.
- ·Three adjustment dials (DESIGN_VARIANCE, MOTION_INTENSITY, VISUAL_DENSITY) to tune the level of layout experimentation, animation depth, and information density.
- ·Specialised skills by visual direction: minimalist (minimalist-skill), brutalist (brutalist-skill), premium and calm (soft-skill).
- ·Audit skill for existing projects (redesign-skill): analyses the current interface before proposing fixes to layout, spacing, and hierarchy.
- ·Image-generation skills (imagegen-frontend-web, imagegen-frontend-mobile, brandkit) to produce design references before handing off to a coding agent.
- ·output-skill to force the agent to deliver complete code with no placeholder comments or truncated sections.
- ·Compatible with many agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, v0, Lovable, OpenCode, AI Studio.
- ·Single-skill installation available via the --skill flag, without installing the entire collection at once.
