⚠ 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 20, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Read the 451-line Bento Grid guide it ships: real Apple-style CSS variables, named font pairings, and a concrete AI-slop blocklist (no default Inter, no purple-gradient-on-white). Building a hero section from it beat a no-skill baseline on token specificity instead of generic Tailwind defaults. Caveat: the advertised 'VS-based style recommendation' flow lives in a separate design-discovery agent that the skill install does NOT copy, so standalone it is a strong style-reference library rather than the full guided workflow.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What Design System Reference does
Ships twenty detailed frontend style guides (Bento Grid, Glassmorphism, Swiss Minimal, Neobrutalism and more), each with concrete CSS variable palettes, font pairings, and layout patterns, plus a shared AI-slop anti-pattern checklist. Triggers when building or styling a web UI in a named aesthetic or when trying to avoid generic AI-looking designs.
How to install Design System Reference
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.
