# Taste Skill

A pack of design rulebooks that steer AI-built pages away from generic and toward deliberate.

A fast-rising pack of 13 design skills that steer AI tools like Cursor and Claude away from cookie-cutter layouts, with adjustable dials for layout adventure, motion, and density, plus image skills that mock up reference designs. Big caveat: GitHub itself flagged the repository for suspected fake stars, so treat its popularity numbers with skepticism and vet it before installing.

## Project facts

- **License:** MIT
- **Repo:** https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill
- **Stars:** 83819
- **Language:** JavaScript

## What it does

- Installs into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and similar tools through the standard skills installer, or drops into a chat as a single reference file
- Offers 10 implementation styles, from general polish to minimalist, brutalist, soft, and a redesign mode for fixing pages you already have
- Adds three image-generation skills that produce reference designs and brand boards to guide the build
- Tunes three settings per project: layout adventure level, amount of motion and animation, and visual density
- Enforces anti-slop rules, including a hard ban on em-dashes, anti-repetition checks, and a redesign-audit protocol for existing projects
- Exports brand guidance in a format other design tools can read, and installs as a plugin in supported editors

## What it can't do

- Prove its popularity is real; GitHub flagged the repository for suspected fake stars
- Hold behavior steady yet; the default version is explicitly experimental and changes between updates
- Build the final site by itself; the image skills produce reference pictures that still need someone to turn into working pages
- Guarantee smooth installs; early users hit name-matching errors until a recent fix aligned the install names
- Enforce its own rules mechanically; everything is written guidance the AI chooses to follow
