Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned block/agent-skills at 329a55d150.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps AI agents create distinctive and production-ready frontend interfaces that move beyond typical generic designs. It guides the agent through a design process emphasizing aesthetic choices and creative execution, resulting in functional HTML/CSS/JS code (including React or Vue). The focus is on producing visually striking and memorable user experiences with intentional design direction.

When to use it

  • You need a custom frontend component, page, application, or interface built.
  • You want to avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics and create something truly unique.
  • You have specific technical constraints (framework, performance, accessibility) that need to be considered during design.
  • You're looking for inspiration on how to make a frontend unforgettable through deliberate aesthetic choices.

Key capabilities

  • Design Thinking Process: Guides the agent through defining purpose, tone, constraints, and differentiation for the interface.
  • Aesthetic Direction Selection: Encourages choosing an extreme aesthetic (e.g., brutalist, maximalist, retro-futuristic) to provide a clear design focus.
  • Code Implementation: Generates production-grade HTML/CSS/JS code, potentially utilizing React or Vue frameworks.
  • Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines: Provides specific guidance on typography, color & theme, motion, spatial composition, and backgrounds for impactful visual design.

Example prompts

  • "Create a login page with a retro-futuristic aesthetic using React."
  • "Design a product listing component with a brutally minimal style and focus on typography."
  • "Build an editorial/magazine-style landing page for our new service, considering accessibility constraints."

Tips & gotchas

  • Define a Bold Aesthetic: The skill's success hinges on choosing a clear and intentional aesthetic direction. Don’t be afraid to pick something extreme!
  • Avoid Generic Choices: The agent is specifically instructed not to use common fonts (Arial, Inter, Roboto) or clichéd color schemes.
  • Focus on Intentionality: The key isn't just intensity of design elements but ensuring they serve a cohesive and deliberate aesthetic purpose.
