Design with Taste

Apply an opinionated taste overlay after usability constraints are known. This skill chooses among quality-valid directions; it never overrides task success, accessibility, product conventions, or the user's explicit visual direction.

Use design-better-interfaces as the quality gate when it is available. Read references/taste-profile.md completely before making visual decisions.

1. Anchor the interface

Identify the primary task, decisive state, established product language, component families, density, and existing brand signals. Preserve the product's information architecture unless changing it is part of the request.

Complete this step when the current hierarchy and the aspects allowed to change are explicit.
