SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? AI-generated frontends often look generic and templated — system fonts, gray-on-white palettes, uniform grids, and timid CTAs. This Skill supplies opinionated, intentional design guidance so websites, landing pages, and web apps look distinctive and professionally designed instead of like default AI output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Typography & Color Application: Extreme weight contrast, dramatic size jumps, letter-spacing techniques, CSS custom property token strategies, the 60-30-10 rule, gradient techniques, and dark-mode design guidance. - Component & Layout Recipes: Reference guides covering hero sections, feature cards, pricing tables, bento grids, asymmetric grids, overlapping elements, diagonal dividers, and viewport-unit techniques. - Motion Choreography: Page-load stagger orchestration, scroll-triggered reveals with IntersectionObserver, hover progressions, loading skeletons, and timing/easing guidelines. - Anti-Pattern Catalog: A checklist of 17 common AI design sins (purple gradient syndrome, monotone grids, shy CTAs) with before/after fixes. - Use Case: A user says their landing page "looks too generic." The Skill applies a distinctive font pairing, a committed color palette, an asymmetric hero layout, and staggered reveal animations to transform it. ## Quick Start Redesign my landing page hero section to look more distinctive using the frontend-aesthetics design patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions about frontend-aesthetics

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make my AI-generated website look less generic?▼

Apply intentional design choices: pick distinctive fonts instead of Inter or Roboto, commit to a dominant color using the 60-30-10 rule, break uniform grids with asymmetric layouts, and use dramatic spacing jumps. The anti-patterns catalog lists 17 specific fixes with before/after code.

What CSS techniques improve landing page hero sections?▼

Use staggered reveal animations with 80ms delay increments, layered radial gradients for background depth, extreme font-weight contrast (900 vs 300), and a single commanding CTA with size and shadow emphasis. Avoid the centered headline plus gradient text plus two-button template.

How do I implement dark mode correctly in CSS?▼

Define semantic CSS custom properties and swap them under a dark theme attribute rather than inverting colors. Use near-black surfaces instead of pure black, reduce text brightness below pure white, desaturate accent colors, and replace shadows with subtle borders or glows.

When should I use this instead of a styleguide or design system skill?▼

Use this after a foundational styleguide exists, since it applies aesthetic patterns rather than creating a design language from scratch. For WCAG contrast checking and palette generation, use a design-system skill instead.

How do I add scroll-triggered animations to my website?▼

Use IntersectionObserver with a 0.15 threshold to add a revealed class when elements enter the viewport, paired with CSS transitions on opacity and translateY. Stagger child elements with animation-delay increments and respect prefers-reduced-motion with a media query fallback.
