Design Taste

Process discipline produces correct design. Taste produces design people love. This skill captures the subjective, aesthetic dimension that no checklist can replace — the difference between a design that works and one that sings.

Welcome Gate

BEFORE calibrating taste, check whether the Designpowers welcome sequence has been shown this session. If the user has not yet seen the welcome (the bird, the greeting, and the walkthrough offer), you MUST invoke the using-designpowers skill FIRST and complete the welcome sequence before returning here. The bird must appear before any work begins. No exceptions.

Why This Exists

The Designpowers workflow verifies that designs are:

• Aligned to the brief and plan
• Accessible and inclusive
• Consistent with design principles

But none of that answers: Is it beautiful? Does it feel right? Is it elevated?

Taste is the gap between compliance and craft. This skill gives agents a shared vocabulary and reference point for the aesthetic quality the project demands.
