Catalogue stub — full skill: @Leonxlnx/taste-skill

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed?

Check whether the skill at this location still has a das: block: - Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/taste-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed" - Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/taste-skill/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed" - No das: block → full skill installed, invoke it and proceed - das: block present → go to step 2

  1. Detect scope, then install:

To detect scope: ``bash [ -e ~/.agents/skills/taste-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project" ``

Global (installed with -g): ``bash npx skills add Leonxlnx/taste-skill --skill taste-skill -g -y ``

Project (installed without -g): ``bash npx skills add Leonxlnx/taste-skill --skill taste-skill -y ` > Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with !` to run it without leaving the conversation.

Invoke after install

  • Skill name: taste-skill or design-taste-frontend
  • Trigger phrases: "design taste", "good taste", "anti slop", "visual density", "premium UI"

What it does

Applies senior UI/UX engineer taste via three tunable dials:

Dial Default Range Effect
DESIGN_VARIANCE 8 1–10 1 = perfect symmetry → 10 = artsy asymmetry
MOTION_INTENSITY 6 1–10 1 = static → 10 = cinematic spring physics
VISUAL_DENSITY 4 1–10 1 = art gallery / airy → 10 = cockpit / data-packed

Override dials in chat: "set motion to 3", "max density". Enforces strict bans against AI design tells: Inter font, centered heroes, 3-column equal card rows, neon glows, pure black (#000), AI-purple gradients, emoji in UI.

When NOT to use

  • Backend code, APIs, data pipelines, CLI tools, or any non-UI task
  • When the user explicitly wants generic or template-style UI
