Making AI harnesses better at design
About
- An open-source skill package that provides a design vocabulary and command system to improve the frontend quality of Claude Code, Codex, etc.
- An extended version based on Anthropic's frontend-design skill, adding curated patterns and anti-patterns across typography/color/layout/motion, etc.
- Includes references for 7 domains: typography, color, space, motion, interaction, responsive, UX writing
- 20 design commands such as /audit, /normalize, /polish, /typeset form an audit→align→refine workflow
- /critique, /distill, /animate, etc. enable UX reviews, simplification, and adding motion
- An anti-pattern set blocks common LLM design mistakes (Inter font, nested cards, gray text, etc.)
- Each command can target a specific area (/audit checkout, /polish header)
- Compatible with most major AI harnesses such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI; installable with a single line: npx skills add pbakaus/impeccable
- Apache 2.0 license
