Frontend Design
If you're tired of churning out the same purple gradient hero sections and Inter font layouts, this one's worth trying. It pushes you to commit to bold aesthetic directions before writing code, whether that's brutalist rawness, art deco geometry, or maximalist chaos. The guidance is opinionated about avoiding generic AI aesthetics: it wants distinctive typography, cohesive color systems with CSS variables, intentional motion design, and unexpected spatial composition. The key insight is matching implementation complexity to your vision. Minimalist designs need restraint and precision, while maximalist ones demand elaborate animations and effects. It works with plain HTML/CSS/JS or modern frameworks like React and Vue.

Files
This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.
The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.
Design Thinking
Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
- Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
- Tone: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.
- Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
- Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
