frontend-design
This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces. Implement real working code with close attention to aesthetic details and purposeful choices.
Use this as the general frontend implementation skill. Route supplied screenshots to shared image-to-code, Figma sources to native figma-design-to-code when available or shared implement-design otherwise, existing-site redesigns to redesign-existing-projects, and visual-comp-only requests to imagegen-frontend-web. An explicit user choice overrides this routing. If the user chooses a named style, follow it without blending incompatible mandates from other visual skills.
The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.
Design Thinking
Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
- Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
- Tone: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.
- Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
- Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity.
