taste-skill
High-agency frontend skill that gives AI good taste with tunable design variance, motion intensity, and visual density. Prevents generic AI UI slop through metric-based rules, strict component architecture, and premium design engineering directives.

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
