SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated web designs tend to cluster around generic, templated aesthetics—cream backgrounds with terracotta accents, SaaS card kits, tracked-out eyebrow labels—that make every page look the same. This Skill provides design-lead guidance for making deliberate, opinionated choices about palette, typography, layout, and motion that are specific to each brief. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Brief-grounded design direction: Anchors visual choices in the subject matter, audience, and industry rather than defaulting to generic patterns. - Two-pass planning workflow: Brainstorm a compact token system (color, type, layout, principles), review it against the brief for generic defaults, then build. - Anti-pattern calibration: Explicitly catalogs common AI-generated design tells (numbered markers, single-word accents, fade-and-slide entrances) so they can be avoided or used only when justified. - Copywriting guidance: Covers interface writing—active voice, user-perspective naming, error and empty-state messaging—as part of the design. - Use Case: When asked to build a landing page for a new product, use this Skill to produce a distinctive hero treatment, deliberate type scale, and restrained motion instead of a templated gradient-and-cards layout. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to design a landing page for your product using the frontend-design skill, providing your brief and subject matter.

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

Ground every visual choice in the brief's subject matter, audience, and industry rather than reaching for defaults. Plan a compact token system of color, type, and layout first, then review it against common AI design tells before writing any code.

What are common signs of AI-generated website design?▼

Common tells include cream backgrounds with terracotta accents, identical rounded cards with soft grey shadows, tracked-out all-caps eyebrow labels, numbered markers on non-sequential content, and fade-and-slide-up entrances on every section.

How should I choose typography for a web design project?▼

Choose one or two clearly distinct typefaces deliberately rather than default families, and set a type scale with intentional weights, widths, and spacing. Keep line lengths under 80 characters and give serif body text slightly more line-height.

When should I use animation and motion in web UI?▼

Use non-user-triggered motion sparingly, ideally as a single orchestrated page-load moment rather than scattered effects. Motion that responds to user actions like opening or confirming is welcome when it shows what changed.

Does this design guidance work when the brief specifies a visual style?▼

Yes. When the brief pins down a visual direction, follow it exactly, even if it matches a common pattern. The anti-default guidance only applies to axes the brief leaves open.
