Use when user asks to build a web component, page, or application, or when the task involves frontend design, HTML/CSS generation, or UI layout. Applies specific rules for typography, OKLCH color, layout, motion, interaction, and UX writing to produce distinctive, production-grade interfaces that avoid generic AI aesthetics.
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. ## Context Gathering Protocol Design without project context produces generic output. Before designing anything: 1. **Check for existing context**: If your loaded instructions contain a **Design Context** section, use it. 2. **Ask if missing**: You need at minimum — *target audience*, *use cases*, *brand personality/tone*. Code tells you what was built, not who it's for or what it should feel like. Ask before generating. ## The AI Slop Test Before shipping: "If someone saw this and said 'AI made this,' would they believe it immediately?" If yes — fix it. The recurring fingerprints of AI-generated work: - Inter font, Roboto, Open Sans, Arial, or system defaults - Purple-to-blue gradients; cyan-on-dark; neon accents on dark backgrounds - Gray text on colored backgrounds - Glassmorphism used decoratively (blur cards, glow borders) - Pure black (#000) or pure white (#fff) anywhere - Everything wrapped in cards; cards nested inside cards; identical card grids …

How to install
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/frontend-design@sha256:91d5b00b08e9aebeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260727.f61816c, 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.
