Taste Skill: Make your coding agent design pages with real art direction

Added · Updated

Lets developers have their coding agent design a landing page or dashboard with an art direction, real pictures and a browser check.

Taste Skill is a set of Agent Skills; the default skill deals three of 20 researched design directions, finds credited pictures from open archives, then checks the page in a real browser at three widths and fixes what it finds.

What it does

Taste Skill is a set of Agent Skills built from a study of 247 curated sites. The default skill (install name design-taste-frontend) runs a build in six steps: it reads the brief and lists what only this client has, a script deals three of 20 researched directions and the agent picks one, it finds one idea tying the client’s material to that direction, builds with credited pictures and footage from open collections, checks the page in a real browser at three widths and fails it on generic “slop”, then reviews its own screenshots and fixes the top three problems, up to three rounds. Since v2.1, dashboards and app screens get their own route with app-specific checks. It works with React, Vue, Svelte or plain HTML. Seven older “classic” skills stay available and run only when called by name.

How to use it

Input: a brief for a page or app screen, or an existing page to redesign. Action: install with `npx skills add https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill --skill "design-taste-frontend"`, or add the Claude Code or Codex plugin from the Leonxlnx/taste-skill marketplace, then ask your agent to build or review the page. Output: the page in your project, with picture credits on it, after the skill’s browser checks.

Common use cases

  • Give your agent a one-paragraph brief for a coffee shop site and get a page built around one art direction, with credited archive photos, checked at three screen widths.
  • Ask for an admin dashboard or settings screen and get panels, charts and tables styled from a study of real product screens, checked with the app rules (`inspect.mjs --app`).
  • Point it at an existing landing page for a redesign: it audits the page in a real browser first, then fixes the top problems it sees in its own screenshots.

Can I use this?

Runs inside your coding agent; the skill installs nothing

Requirements Node 22 or newer, an installed Chrome, Edge or Chromium, a coding agent that can load Agent Skills, and network access for finding pictures. No API keys are needed.

Caveat Results depend on the coding agent and model you run it with, and a build spends a few hundred thousand tokens. The source also links TasteCode, a separate desktop app by the same author; this card covers the skills repository only.

Worth knowing The source says a build takes roughly 30 to 45 minutes and a few hundred thousand tokens. Pictures come only from public domain, CC0, CC BY and CC BY-SA files in open collections, credited on the page; swap in your own when you have them. Open source under the MIT license.
