Anti-AI-slop design skill for greenfield pages, audits, redesigns, and design extraction from URLs or screenshots. Pushes structural variety, not just colour swaps, so pages built for different briefs stop sharing the same hero → features → CTA rhythm.

    design-taste-frontend

  • GoogleSkill

    prototype

Catalogue stub — full skill: Nutlope/hallmark

<!-- das:install:start — generated from stub.yaml by `npm run generate`; edit stub.yaml, not this block -->

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed?
    • Global: f=~/.agents/skills/hallmark/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • Project: f=.agents/skills/hallmark/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • installed → the skill is installed as hallmark, invoke it and proceed
    • pointer → go to step 2
  2. Detect scope, then install:

    [ -e ~/.agents/skills/hallmark ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

    Global:

    npx skills add Nutlope/hallmark --skill hallmark -g -y

    Project:

    npx skills add Nutlope/hallmark --skill hallmark -y

    Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Heads-up

What it does

A short, opinionated design skill that stops AI coding assistants from falling back to the defaults every model was trained on. The default flow designs a new page from a named theme catalogue with locked tokens and a pre-emit self-critique; audit scores existing UI against an anti-pattern list and returns a ranked punch list without editing; redesign restructures the visual layer inside the existing implementation boundaries; study extracts the design DNA (macrostructure, type pairing, colour anchor) from a screenshot or URL and can emit a portable design.md. Responsive checks and honest-copy rules (no invented metrics) are built in.

When NOT to use

  • Persistent critique commands, Chrome extension, or Live Mode iteration → use impeccable
  • Dial-based premium aesthetics (variance, motion, density) → use taste-skill or ui-craft
  • Accessibility or WCAG audits → use accessibility-catalogue
  • SwiftUI / iOS visual design → use swiftui-design-skill
