| Design Taste Frontend leonxlnx/taste-skill | When the prompt is about visual taste, distinctive art direction, or escaping generic AI UI. | Cursor | 2026-05-26 | pass |
| Frontend Design anthropics/skills | When you want Anthropic’s broader frontend brief, including type and color, not only “taste” as a slogan. | Claude Code | 2026-09-03 | pass |
| Impeccable pbakaus/impeccable | When the interface exists and needs a meticulous pass rather than a new aesthetic. | Claude Code | 2026-09-09 | pass |
| Emil Design Engineering emilkowalski/skills | When the gap is interaction and motion craft, not a new brand. | Any agent | 2026-07-21 | pass |
Safety is a text search on the file, not an audit. Pass / Review / Risk are explained in the evaluation guide.

01
Design Taste Frontend
A taste playbook against generic AI UI, aimed at landings, portfolios, and redesigns. Use it when the prompt is about looking designed, especially landings and portfolios. It overlaps frontend-design; prefer this one when taste is the actual job.

02
Frontend Design
Anthropic’s broader frontend brief, including type and color, not only “taste” as a slogan. Default when you want one general UI file. It is less of a dedicated art-direction playbook than taste-skill.

03
Impeccable
A craft pass on work that already exists. Install after a first render, not as the file that invents the aesthetic. Distinct from taste-skill, which is for new pages and look-and-feel.

04
Emil Design Engineering
Interaction and motion craft, not a new brand. Use it when the visual direction is fine and the gap is how the UI moves. Skip it as a taste substitute.

FAQ
Is taste the same as frontend-design?
They overlap. frontend-design is Anthropic’s general UI brief. taste-skill is a dedicated taste playbook against generic AI UI. impeccable is a craft pass on work that already exists.
Can I install all of them?
You can. Agents then compete on trigger descriptions. Prefer one taste file plus a component skill, not four overlapping taste files.
Does a high star count mean better taste?
No. Stars are repository-level. Read the SKILL.md.
