Taste — Reverse-Engineer a Website's Design DNA

This skill turns a URL into two files:

  • ./{domain}.md — human-readable. Two sections:
    • Design Map — practical tokens (colors, type scale, spacing, radii, shadows, grid)
    • Taste DNA — 3-4 opinionated trade-offs (Trigger → Decision → Reason → Evidence)
  • ./{domain}.json — structured. Same data, machine-parseable, for downstream tools (Cursor, Windsurf, design systems).

The pipeline rejects generic descriptions like "clean and modern". A finished taste.md should read like a senior designer explaining why this particular page made these particular choices — and what plausible alternatives it rejected.

When to activate

Trigger this skill whenever the user wants to study a website's design and capture it as guidance for future design work. Catch all of these:
