Built the same hero section twice: my no-skill default landed on Inter, a purple-to-pink gradient and a centered symmetric layout, hitting four of the anti-patterns the skill explicitly names. The skill-guided version used a DM Serif Display / DM Sans pairing, a warm-white plus terracotta palette lifted from its themes.md, a 5:7 asymmetric grid and an offset-shadow button, clearing all four. A guidance-only skill with a genuinely visible delta; the 189-line themes.md and 351-line components.md are real, concrete references, not filler.

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 5/5

What Frontend Design System does

A design-guidance skill that names the AI-slop anti-patterns (Inter font, purple-pink gradients, symmetric hero, even 3-column grids) and supplies concrete alternatives: serif/sans font pairings, non-default palettes, asymmetric layouts and restrained motion. Triggers when building landing pages, dashboards or UI components. Bundles themes.md and components.md with ready CSS.
