Route frontend design direction work to the pinned taste skills. Use for a landing page, redesign, brand system or mockup-to-code task, not for a bug fix.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Add the source id to upstream in .agents/compass.json.

    line 18
  2. Distinctive:

    Do not use a landing-page skill and a product-UI skill in one project, unless the project has both surfaces.

    line 30
  3. Very specific:

    If the project has a design system, the system wins.

    line 41

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

design-taste-skills

Design skills are pinned upstream under the source id taste. Compass keeps no copy. They do not mix. A dense product UI and a landing page need opposite advice. Pick one group and stay in it.

Install

Add the source id to upstream in .agents/compass.json. Then run ac sync. The source id is taste.

Pick the group

SurfaceSkills
Landing page, marketing site, portfoliodesign-taste-frontend, and at most one of industrial-brutalist-ui or stitch-design-taste
Dense product UI, admin, dashboardhigh-end-visual-design and minimalist-ui
An existing surface to reworkredesign-existing-projects
Brand system, logo, identitybrandkit
A mockup, screenshot or Figma frame to convertimage-to-code

Do not use a landing-page skill and a product-UI skill in one project, unless the project has both surfaces. Say which surface you work on.

Give it a direction

Fix these items before you generate anything:

  1. The surface and its main job.
  2. A named style direction, such as editorial, Swiss or brutalist. "Clean and modern" is not a direction.
  3. The source of the palette and the type: the design system, a Figma token export, or a choice that you can defend.
  4. What must not change: tokens, component API, brand constraints.

If the project has a design system, the system wins. Use the skill to apply it well. When Figma is the source, run ui-conformance first.

Prove it

A design change is visible, so it needs visual proof at each viewport. Run ui-conformance. A skill that says the result "looks expensive" is not proof. A direction that fails contrast or keyboard navigation is not finished.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
