How does this skill differ from standard Claude frontend output?

This skill specifically prevents generic design choices by enforcing a design thinking phase. It instructs Claude to avoid common fonts like Inter or Arial and steer clear of predictable 'AI-style' purple gradients and layouts.

Does the generated code remain production-grade?

Absolutely. While the focus is on high-end aesthetics, the skill emphasizes writing functional, performant, and accessible code suitable for real-world applications.

Can I use this with frameworks like React or Vue?

Yes, the skill is designed to guide implementation across various technologies, including HTML/CSS/JS, React, and Vue, while leveraging specific libraries like Motion for animations.

How do I choose a specific aesthetic style?

You can mention a desired tone in your prompt, such as 'brutalist,' 'luxury,' or 'playful.' The skill will then commit to that specific direction, ensuring cohesive typography, color, and spacing throughout the project.

About

The Frontend Design skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated UI/UX engineer capable of producing memorable, professional-grade web interfaces. Rather than defaulting to predictable layouts and system fonts, this skill applies intentional design thinking to create interfaces with a specific aesthetic point-of-view—from brutalist and maximalist to refined luxury. It emphasizes unique typography, advanced spatial composition, and high-impact motion design, ensuring every component or application is visually striking, functional, and devoid of the common 'AI slop' aesthetic.

Key Features

Complex spatial layouts featuring asymmetry, grid-breaking elements, and negative space
Advanced typography pairing using unique and characterful font choices
Atmospheric visual details like gradient meshes, noise textures, and custom cursors
High-impact motion design including staggered reveals and CSS-only interactions
Intentional aesthetic direction selection (e.g., retro-futuristic, editorial, brutalist)
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Developing experimental web applications requiring bold, memorable user interfaces
