Design-quality layer for frontend code — typography, color, motion, spatial composition, and avoiding generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Use this as a companion when you are already writing or styling frontend code and want it to look distinctive and production-grade. For building an app, dashboard, tracker, calculator, visualization, landing page, or slide deck the user wants inside the assistant, load `app-builder` instead — it loads this skill itself for the design pass.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices. The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints. ## Design Thinking Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction: - **Purpose**: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it? - **Tone**: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction. - **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility). - **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember? …

How to install
mdr add vellum-ai/vellum-assistant/frontend-design@sha256:a5942fcd29d847fdThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.5802532, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
