Is the Aesthetic skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from mrgoonie/claudekit-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Aesthetic SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Aesthetic?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Aesthetic with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 10, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 4422cac

Asked for pricing-card hierarchy + hover-state advice twice: baseline gave generic bullets ('add whitespace', 'good contrast'), the skill run cited exact numbers — 200ms ease-out lift, 4.5:1 WCAG text contrast, 2-3 typeface cap — pulled straight from its bundled reference files.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5

What Aesthetic does

Guides UI/UX design work through a four-stage framework (aesthetics, functionality, micro-interactions, storytelling) backed by reference files with concrete numbers — WCAG contrast ratios, 150-300ms animation timing, ease-out/ease-in curves. Triggers when building interfaces, analyzing design inspiration, or adding micro-interactions; the inspiration-capture and image-generation workflows depend on companion skills (chrome-devtools, ai-multimodal) also present in the same repo.

How to install Aesthetic

git clone https://github.com/mrgoonie/claudekit-skills
cd claudekit-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r .claude/skills/aesthetic ~/.claude/skills/aesthetic

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Aesthetic

/aesthetic Structured BEAUTIFUL/RIGHT/SATISFYING/PEAK framework for UI design with concrete timing and contrast rules

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Review this UI's contrast ratios against WCAG guidelines
Add micro-interactions with proper easing and timing
Make this interface feel more polished and satisfying
