- Environment
- Claude Code 2.x
Same landing-page brief run with and without the skill: the with-skill version had a real type scale, intentional palette and none of the neon-gradient tells. Night and day.
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 10/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What it does
The single highest-leverage skill for anyone shipping web UI with Claude. Injects real design discipline — typography scales, color systems, anti-slop rules — into every frontend task. Our before/after test showed the largest quality delta of any skill in this category.
Before / after — same task, with and without the skill
Without the skill
Purple-to-blue gradient hero, Inter everywhere, three identical feature cards with big icons, neon glow buttons — the default "AI made this" look.
With Frontend Design
A real type scale, one deliberate accent color, asymmetric layout, hairline borders — output reviewers mistake for a designed site.
