Taste Skill — The Anti-Slop Frontend Framework for AI Agents
A 63k+ star collection of Agent Skills: 13 single-purpose skills spanning taste injection (layout, type, motion), image-to-code, redesign audits, and brand-board generation — one npx skills add away in Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, so your AI stops shipping boilerplate-looking UI.
Taste Skill calls itself "the Anti-Slop Frontend Framework for AI Agents": portable Agent Skills that fix the chronic diseases of AI-built UI — stiff layouts, mediocre typography, no motion hierarchy. 63k+ GitHub stars, MIT licensed, sponsored by Emil Kowalski (animations.dev) and the Vercel OSS Program.
The flagship skill, design-taste-frontend (v2), is thoughtfully engineered: it reads your brief, infers a design language, then exposes three 1-10 dials — DESIGN_VARIANCE (layout experimentation), MOTION_INTENSITY (animation depth), VISUAL_DENSITY (information per viewport) — with canonical GSAP skeletons and a strict pre-flight check.
The collection has 13 single-purpose skills: gpt-taste (a stricter GPT/Codex variant), image-to-code (generate references → analyze → implement), redesign (audit-then-fix for existing projects), three committed styles (soft / minimalist / brutalist), output enforcement (for models that ship half-finished work), stitch (with DESIGN.md export), plus three image-only skills for web comps, mobile flows, and brand kits.
