taste-skill

imagegen-frontend-web: tightened hero composition rules (default left-text or right-image hero banned, then revised to a composition bias rather than a hard ban in a follow-up commit). imagegen-frontend-web: required one horizontal reference image per section. A page with eight sections expects eight images; combining multiple sections in one frame is not allowed. imagegen-frontend-web: added brief-adaptation cues plus conditional background rules. imagegen-frontend-web: expanded background modes and gradient discipline (palette-matched gradients encouraged, typical AI-default gradient recipes discouraged). imagegen-frontend-web: documented per-section framing, composition variety, hero scale presets, conversion-oriented section roles, LAYOUT_VARIATION and CONVERSION_DISCIPLINE dials, and expanded clarity checks. imagegen-frontend-web: concept spine, second-read cues, and further anti-slop bans.

Substantial 2026 rewrite of the default skill. New title "tasteskill: Anti-Slop Frontend Skill". Around 900 lines, Sections 0 to 14 plus Appendices A to C. Section 0: Brief inference. The agent reads the room (industry, audience, mood, motion, layout) before generating. Section 2: Brief to design system map. Material, Fluent, Carbon, Polaris, Atlassian, Primer, GOV.UK, USWDS, Bootstrap, Radix, shadcn, Tailwind official, or native CSS. Section 8: Dark mode protocol. Dual-mode by default, contrast and hierarchy parity. Section 11: Redesign protocol. Audit-first, preservation rules, explicit modernisation levers. Section 12: Block library schema. Contract for iterative block additions. Section 14: Hard pre-flight check. Every checkbox must honestly pass. Section 9: Complete em-dash ban. Section-numbering eyebrows banned. Version labels in hero banned. Photo-credit captions, decoration text strips, pills on images, version footers, locale or time strips, scroll cues, decorative status dots all banned. border-t plus border-b on every row of long lists banned. Div-based fake product UI banned. New rules: color consistency lock, shape consistency lock, page theme lock, hero discipline (max 2 lines, 20 words subtext, CTA without scroll), navigation discipline (one line, 80px max), section-layout repetition ban (at least 4 different families across 8 sections), bento cell count rule, italic descender clearance, long lists need a different UI component. Section 5: canonical GSAP code skeletons for sticky-stack, horizontal-pan, scroll-reveal. Forbidden patterns including raw window.addEventListener('scroll'). Reduced motion mandatory for MOTION_INTENSITY greater than 3. Motion claimed equals motion shown. Stack: Tailwind v4 default, Motion (rebranded Framer Motion) recommended, icons from Phosphor, HugeIcons, Radix, Tabler only. Lucide discouraged. Hand-rolled SVG icons banned. taste-skill-v1 preserved at skills/taste-skill-v1/. Install legacy explicitly with --skill "design-taste-frontend-v1". README skills table updated. CHANGELOG.md added at repo root. brutalist-skill BETA badge removed. 4 new sponsors added.

README: banner image, Taste Skill logo asset, and shield row trimmed to Stars, MIT, Tools, and Changelog. gpt-tasteskill (listed as gpt-taste in the README table): stricter GPT and Codex-oriented rules. Landed on 2026-04-16. images-taste-skill: image-first reference pipeline added 2026-04-21. Renamed to image-to-code-skill on 2026-04-25. imagegen-frontend-web and imagegen-frontend-mobile: image-only web and mobile comp skills. Naming and the mobile skill stabilized on 2026-04-25; all three imagegen skills moved under skills/ for npx discovery on 2026-04-28. brandkit: image-only brand kit boards. Added 2026-04-25, included in the 2026-04-28 skills/ layout. License: MIT file added on 2026-04-28. README: documented npx skills add on the repository URL plus optional --skill for installing a single skill.

Repository migrated to the npx skills layout with everything under skills/, llms.txt, and a refreshed README install section. stitch-skill added (Google Stitch-oriented rules with DESIGN.md export). bruitalist-skill added and marked beta. minimalist-skill added. soft-skill added with follow-up naming and description fixes. Split the former single core package into taste-skill, output-skill, and redesign-skill, plus research notes and example shots. Seven implementation skills present after these March commits: taste-skill, redesign-skill, soft-skill, minimalist-skill, brutalist-skill, output-skill, stitch-skill. taste-skill retained the 3-dial system (DESIGN_VARIANCE, MOTION_INTENSITY, VISUAL_DENSITY), the creative arsenal, and the anti-slop ban lists.

Taste Skill shipped as a single primary SKILL.md with the three dials, creative arsenal growth, and anti-slop enforcement. README updates documented installation, dial examples, and the Taste Skill positioning.
