Taste Skill

The Anti-Slop Frontend Framework for AI Agents

Portable Agent Skills that upgrade AI-built interfaces: stronger layout, typography, motion, and spacing instead of boilerplate-looking UIs. This repo also includes image-generation skills for reference boards (web, mobile, brand kits). Pair them with ChatGPT Images or similar generators, then hand the frames to Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code for implementation.

Installing

The npx skills add CLI scans the skills/ folder in this repo, so all skills below (code and image-generation) install the same way.

npx skills add https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill

Install a single skill by name (example):

npx skills add https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill --skill "imagegen-frontend-mobile"

You can also copy any SKILL.md into your project or paste it into ChatGPT / Codex conversations.

Skills

Each skill does one job; you do not need all of them at once. Implementation skills output code. Image-generation skills output reference images only.

Skill	Description
taste-skill	Default all-rounder for premium frontend output without locking one narrow visual style.
gpt-taste	Stricter variant for GPT/Codex: higher layout variance, stronger GSAP direction, aggressive anti-slop.
image-to-code-skill	Image-first pipeline: generate site references, analyze them, then implement the frontend to match.
redesign-skill	Existing projects: audit the UI first, then fix layout, spacing, hierarchy, styling.
soft-skill	Polished, calm, expensive UI with softer contrast, whitespace, premium fonts, spring motion.
output-skill	When the model ships half-finished work: full output, no placeholder comments.
minimalist-skill	Editorial product UI (Notion/Linear vibes), restrained palette, crisp structure.
brutalist-skill	⚠️ `BETA` Hard mechanical language: Swiss type, sharp contrast, experimental layout.
stitch-skill	Google Stitch-compatible rules, including optional `DESIGN.md` export format.

Image generation skills

These produce design images only (no code). Use with ChatGPT Images, Codex image mode, or any agent that generates images.

Skill	Description
imagegen-frontend-web	Website comps: hero, landing, multi-section with strong typography, spacing, anti-slop art direction.
imagegen-frontend-mobile	Mobile screens and flows: iOS/Android/cross-platform, mockups, readable type, coherent sets.
brandkit	Brand-kit boards: logo directions, palettes, type, identity applications across categories.

Which one should I use?

Start with taste-skill for the safest general default.
Use gpt-taste when you want the stricter GPT/Codex-oriented rules and motion/layout enforcement.
Use image-to-code-skill for image → analyze → code website workflows.
Use redesign-skill to improve an existing codebase instead of greenfield styling.
Add soft-skill, minimalist-skill, or brutalist-skill when the visual direction is already chosen.
Add output-skill if the agent keeps truncating output.
Use imagegen-frontend-web, imagegen-frontend-mobile, or brandkit when the deliverable is images (comps, flows, identity boards), then pass results to your coding agent.

Image-first tip

For image-to-code-skill, state the pipeline in the prompt, e.g.: follow the skill: generate images, then analyze, then code.

ChatGPT Images and Codex

Attach or paste imagegen-frontend-web, imagegen-frontend-mobile, or brandkit and ask for the frames you need, then feed the renders to Codex, Cursor, or Claude Code. Use image-to-code-skill when you want one workflow that both generates references and implements the site in code.

Settings (taste-skill only)

Numbers at the top of the file are 1-10 dials:

DESIGN_VARIANCE: Layout experimentation (lower: centered/clean · higher: asymmetric/modern).
MOTION_INTENSITY: Animation depth (lower: hover · higher: scroll/magnetic).
VISUAL_DENSITY: Information per viewport (lower: spacious · higher: dense dashboards).

Common Questions

How is this different from other AI design skills?
Multiple specialized variants, adjustable dials in key skills, anti-repetition rules informed by dedicated research. All are framework agnostic across major coding agents.

Does it work with React, Vue, Svelte?
Yes. Rules target design intent, not a single framework API.

What is SKILL.md?
A portable instruction file agents can load automatically; install via npx skills add or by copying into a repo or conversation.

Do image-generation skills install with npx skills add?
Yes. They live under skills/ alongside the code skills so the same CLI discovers them.
