frontend-design

This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.

The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.

Scope Boundary (Conflict Avoidance)

This skill is for Expressive Visual mode, not the default for every UI request.

• Use this skill when the user wants standout aesthetics, unique branding, or a dramatic visual direction.
• If the user asks for clean/professional/minimal product UI, strict consistency, or adherence to an existing design system, defer style decisions to design-guide.
• If both skills are active, pick one mode first. Do not apply conflicting typography policies simultaneously.

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?
