SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated web designs tend to cluster around generic, templated looks—cream backgrounds with terracotta accents, SaaS card kits, tracked-out eyebrow labels—that read as defaults rather than deliberate choices. This Skill provides a design-lead methodology for producing distinctive, brief-specific visual identities instead of interchangeable output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design planning workflow: Brainstorm a compact token system covering color (4-6 named hex values), typography, layout concepts with ASCII wireframes, and guiding principles before writing code. - Anti-default calibration: Identifies common AI-generated design tells (single-word headline accents, ALL-CAPS labels, numbered markers on non-sequential content) and requires revising any plan element that reads as generic. - Typography and copy guidance: Covers typeface selection, type scales, line lengths, and writing interface copy in active voice with user-centered naming. - Use Case: When asked to build a landing page for a new product, use this Skill to first ground the design in the subject matter, draft a distinctive design plan, critique it against generic defaults, then implement with one bold focal element and disciplined supporting choices. ## Quick Start Use the frontend-design skill to create a distinctive landing page design for my product, starting with a design plan before writing any code.

FAQPage Schema
How do I avoid generic AI-generated web design?▼

Start with a written design plan covering color palette, typefaces, layout concept, and principles, then review each element against known AI design defaults like cream backgrounds with terracotta accents or uniform rounded cards. Revise anything that reads as a default rather than a brief-specific choice before coding.

How to choose typography for a web design project?▼

Select one or two clearly distinct typeface families chosen deliberately for the subject, not default go-to fonts. Set a type scale following The Elements of Typographic Style, keep line lengths under 80 characters, and give serif body text slightly more line-height than sans-serif.

What are common tells of AI-generated design?▼

Common tells include warm cream backgrounds with terracotta accents, near-black backgrounds with acid-green accents, identical rounded SaaS cards with soft grey shadows, tracked-out ALL-CAPS eyebrow labels, and accenting a single headline word in italic or a different color.

When should I use animation in web design?▼

Use non-user-triggered motion sparingly, ideally as a single orchestrated page-load moment rather than scattered fade-and-slide entrances on every section. Motion that responds to user actions like opening or expanding elements is appropriate when it shows what changed.

Does this design guidance override the client's brief?▼

No, the brief's explicit visual direction always wins, including when it requests a style listed as a generic default. The anti-default guidance only applies to axes where the brief leaves the choice open.
