This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.
The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.
Design Thinking
Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
- Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
- Tone: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc.
- Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
- Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?
CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision.
Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines
Focus on:
- Typography: Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting. Avoid generic fonts like Arial and Inter.
- Color & Theme: Commit to a cohesive aesthetic. Use CSS variables for consistency.
- Motion: Use animations for effects and micro-interactions.
- Spatial Composition: Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Diagonal flow.
- Backgrounds & Visual Details: Create atmosphere and depth.
NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial), cliched color schemes (purple gradients on white), predictable layouts.
