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.

⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 19, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Tested on an AI-slop hero (indigo-to-violet gradient, gradient-clip headline, glassmorphism, Inter, emoji, 'Elevate Your Workflow', arrow CTA): the bundled 40-plus-tell catalog let it flag ten labeled issues with P0/P1 severity, then forced a commitment to one named aesthetic direction. Its explicit guard against 'second-order defaults' like Space Grotesk and warm-paper serif heads off the exact trap the no-skill baseline fell into, which caught roughly four tells informally and reached for a generic replacement. The reference catalog is unusually rigorous, citing a Playwright study of ~1,400 sites with a stated false-positive rate.

What Avoid AI Design does

A frontend design-review skill that audits HTML/CSS and React/Tailwind/shadcn for the patterns that make a UI look AI-generated, then rewrites around one committed aesthetic direction. Triggers on 'de-slop this UI', 'make this look less AI-generated', or 'audit for AI design tells'. Ships a 40-plus-tell catalog with P0/P1/P2 severity plus a detect-only mode and a guard against second-order defaults.

How to install Avoid AI Design

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
