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 samhvw8/dot-claude at 28c7616211.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The Aesthetic skill helps AI agents create visually appealing user interfaces by applying design principles and systematic workflows. It combines design thinking, frontend implementation patterns, and analysis techniques to generate aesthetically beautiful interfaces. The skill emphasizes intentionality in design choices, whether maximalist or minimalist, and prioritizes a progression from beauty to functionality, satisfaction, and storytelling through design.

When to use it

  • Building or designing user interfaces.
  • Analyzing designs found on inspiration websites like Dribbble, Mobbin, and Behance.
  • Generating design images and evaluating their aesthetic quality.
  • Implementing visual hierarchy, typography, color theory, micro-interactions, and animations.

Key capabilities

  • Applies design thinking principles before coding.
  • Analyzes existing designs to extract patterns and principles.
  • Provides guidance on visual hierarchy, typography, and color theory (references references/design-principles.md).
  • Offers recommendations for micro-interactions and animations (references references/micro-interactions.md).
  • Suggests narrative elements and storytelling techniques in design (references references/storytelling-design.md).
  • Provides guidance on typography, color palettes, and motion & animation implementation.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a design concept for a mobile app landing page with a bold maximalist aesthetic."
  • "Analyze this Dribbble shot [link to Dribbble] and identify the key visual principles used."
  • "Suggest micro-interaction animations for a button click, following best practices for timing and easing curves."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill emphasizes understanding context and committing to a clear aesthetic direction before coding.
  • It relies on analyzing existing designs and referencing provided documents (references/design-principles.md, references/micro-interactions.md, references/storytelling-design.md) for guidance.
  • Beautiful designs must also be functional; usability is paramount.
