Frontend Design Deslop
This does the thing you've probably noticed: stops Claude from spitting out another purple gradient Tailwind site with Inter and rounded cards. It forces a strategy-first workflow where you classify what you're building (landing page, dashboard, SaaS app), commit to brand adjectives, then translate those into typography and color tokens before touching components. The discipline is borrowed from brand design, and it doubles as both a de-slop tool and an actual design system builder. It walks you through discovery questions using the structured question tool, builds OKLCH color palettes, sets up modular type scales, and applies layout and interaction craft. Use it whenever you're building any frontend and don't want it to look like statistical median 2024 web code.

Questions: Ask the user through the environment's question tool — never as plain-text prose. One question at a time, 2–4 tappable options, wait for the answer. If the environment has no question tool, ask in prose with the same options, one at a time.

AI-generated UI looks generic for two reasons:
- No constraints. The model samples the statistical median of 2019-2024 web code — Tailwind UI's
bg-indigo-500, Inter, rounded cards, soft shadows. You cannot out-prompt a vacuum. - Designing before knowing what you're designing. A corporate landing page, a creative portfolio, a developer-tool landing page, an analytics dashboard, and an ecommerce product page share almost no design DNA — a beautiful aesthetic that fights the artifact's job is its own slop.
The fix is a discipline borrowed from brand design: strategy drives design, never aesthetics first.
- Commit to words first — what this is, who it serves, the adjectives it must feel like.
- Translate those words into a typography and color system.
- Build from tokens.
- Apply the craft layer (layout, components, motion, iconography, imagery, dark mode, accessibility).
- Audit.
