Score: 9.2/10

Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)

Given the same brief (a noir fraud-detection SaaS hero), a plain prompt produced the default dark-gradient-hero-plus-glass-card that every 'premium dark SaaS' request produces; following the skill instead pulled David Fincher/Se7en straight out of its 200-director table and turned 'desaturated teal, deep shadows, scan lines' into an actual evidence-board hero concept with named hex tokens and an explicit list of banned defaults.

What Cinematic UI does

A four-phase design workflow (decisions -> storyboard -> compiled spec -> build) that names a real director/film to anchor color, typography, composition, and motion instead of generic 'premium SaaS' defaults, with a large reference library of directors, hero archetypes, camera shots, and color grades. Triggers on explicit requests for a cinematic, movie-style, director-inspired, or film-genre (noir, sci-fi, thriller, etc.) site, including Chinese-language requests; explicitly opts out of generic web design asks.
