design-taste — Claude Code skill for interface design
This skill guides interface design and review, from visual direction to typography, layout, motion, and component states. Use it when building or polishing a web UI.
npx skills add h3nryprod01/design-taste --skill design-taste -a claude-codeWhat design-taste does
The skill starts by reading the brief and setting a design direction, then follows a build, critique, and refinement cycle. Three dials shape the result: design variance, motion intensity, and visual density. Its guidance covers typography, color, responsive layouts, and component states.
Motion rules address timing, CSS properties, and prefers-reduced-motion. Keyboard-triggered actions should not be animated. That constraint matters when polishing interactions: every animation needs an alternative for users who request reduced motion.
What it helps with
- derive a visual direction from a project brief
- check text hierarchy and color contrast
- revise spacing and page layout
- design focus, loading, and error states
- adapt interface motion for reduced-motion preferences
Example prompts for the agent
- Review this landing page against the brief, choose a visual direction, and refine the interface.
- Audit this form for typography, contrast, and component states.
- Adjust the menu animation and account for
prefers-reduced-motion.
