Uncompromising design guardrails that eliminate generic white cards, harsh borders, and cheesy purple gradients. Force Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to build production-grade interfaces with extreme visual restraint.
When left to default prompts, LLMs consistently fall back on generic 3-column cards with blurry drop shadows, clashing purple-to-blue gradients, uncalibrated padding, and repetitive Lucide icons in colored boxes. They lack innate visual restraint.
The AgentTaste Standard
Strict zinc-950/obsidian surface depth, subtle 1px highlight strokes (rgba(255,255,255,0.08)), tabular figures for numerals, and Apple/Linear-grade typography hierarchy.
Silicon Valley grade dark-mode design system with crisp micro-borders and zero visual bloat.

Frequently Asked Questions: Frontend UI
How do Frontend UI skills prevent AI models from generating ugly websites?
They inject negative design constraints and strict token dictionaries directly into the agent context, prohibiting high-saturation gradients, default card stacks, and excessive box shadows while mandating concrete CSS variables and typography tokens.
Are these skills compatible with Tailwind CSS v4 and modern React?
Yes. All AgentTaste frontend skills are tested against modern Tailwind CSS v4 (@theme tokens) and vanilla CSS custom properties, ensuring seamless integration with React 19, Next.js, Vite, and TanStack Start.
Can I use these skills across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex simultaneously?
Yes. AgentTaste skills use the universal SKILL.md format with YAML frontmatter, making them natively loadable in Claude Code, Cursor (.cursorrules / .cursor/rules), OpenAI Codex, and Google Antigravity.
