SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated web designs tend to converge on generic, templated looks—cream backgrounds with serif displays, dark themes with acid accents, or broadsheet layouts—regardless of the subject. This Skill provides a disciplined design methodology that produces intentional, subject-specific visual identities instead of defaults. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Planning Framework: Brainstorm a compact token system covering color (4-6 named hex values), typography (display, body, and utility faces), layout concepts with ASCII wireframes, and a single signature element before writing code. - Self-Critique Process: Review the plan against the brief to detect generic defaults, revise weak choices, then build following the revised plan exactly. - UX Writing Guidance: Write interface copy with active voice, consistent action naming, and error/empty states that direct users rather than decorate. - Use Case: When asked to build a landing page for a new product, use this Skill to first derive a palette, type pairing, and signature element from the product's own world, then implement a page that could not be mistaken for a template. ## Quick Start Design a landing page for my product using the frontend-design skill, starting with a design plan before writing any code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated web designs look less generic?▼

Ground every choice in the subject's own world—its materials, artifacts, and vernacular—rather than reaching for default looks. Plan a token system with named hex colors, deliberate type pairings, and one signature element, then critique the plan for templated patterns before coding.

What is a good process for planning a website design before coding?▼

Work in two passes: first brainstorm a compact plan covering color, typography, layout concepts with ASCII wireframes, and a signature element. Then review the plan against the brief, revise anything that reads as a generic default, and only then write code following the revised plan.

How should typography be chosen for a web page design?▼

Pair a characterful display face used with restraint with a complementary body face, plus a utility face for captions or data if needed. Set a clear type scale with intentional weights, widths, and spacing so the type treatment itself becomes a memorable part of the design.

When should animation be used in web design?▼

Use animation only where it serves the subject: a page-load sequence, scroll-triggered reveal, hover micro-interactions, or ambient atmosphere. One orchestrated moment usually lands harder than scattered effects, and excess animation can make a design feel AI-generated.

What are the limitations of AI-generated design aesthetics?▼

AI-generated designs cluster around three defaults: cream backgrounds with serif displays and terracotta accents, near-black themes with acid-green accents, and broadsheet layouts with hairline rules. These are legitimate only when the brief explicitly calls for them, not as free choices.
