Frontend Design Skill codifies aesthetic archetypes

Ilm-Alan's MIT-licensed open-source skill gives AI coding assistants a stricter front-end playbook: pick an aesthetic archetype, define one differentiator, and encode it in design tokens, layout, motion, and texture. It works with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, aiming to keep generated interfaces from drifting into generic templates.

// ANALYSIS

The SKILL.md file spells out a five-step workflow before code, then a final checklist, which makes the skill feel enforceable instead of aspirational (https://github.com/Ilm-Alan/frontend-design/blob/main/SKILL.md). The 10 archetypes are broad enough to cover most product vibes, from Editorial and Swiss to Brutalist, Industrial, and Lo-Fi. The token discipline is the real moat: CSS custom properties, spacing scales, and shadow tiers keep the style portable across components. The anti-pattern section is the most practical part, because it directly bans system fonts, purple gradients, centered card grids, and purposeless motion. Cross-support for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI makes it a shared design vocabulary, not a one-editor gimmick.
