# Short **Frontend Design Skill** — 7,842 lines of modular markdown that teach AI agents how to build websites a senior designer would actually ship. 18 files. Each loadable independently. Built around one principle: **restraint over decoration.** Includes: - 7 aesthetic directions, 22 sub-styles with real references (Linear, Pentagram, Müller-Brockmann, NYT Mag) - 28 specific AI-slop patterns to reject, with before/after - Complete type system (typefaces, scale, pairs, code) - Complete color system (tokens, palettes, contrast) - Layout system (containers, spacing scale, grids, responsive) - Component patterns (buttons, forms, cards, states) + 10 product UI components in code - Motion principles (one entrance system, accessibility) - Accessibility (semantics, keyboard, focus, ARIA, testing protocol) - Performance (budgets, fonts, images, Core Web Vitals) - Imagery & icons (no stock, CSS/SVG compositions, icon systems) - Content rules (headlines, body, CTAs, microcopy) - Pre-ship checklist of 70+ items MIT licensed. Use it, modify it, redistribute it. If your AI agent produces purple-to-blue gradient heroes, three-card feature grids, and "Empowering businesses to thrive" copy — this fixes that.

It's a modular skill file for any AI agent that builds websites — 18 files, each independently loadable, covering aesthetics, typography, color, layout, anti-patterns, components, motion, accessibility, performance, imagery, content, and a pre-ship checklist.
