What it does

Frontend Design is an agent skill from HezaoHezao/poirot. Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: Poirot is a deep research agent kernel built for those who care about how agents are architected. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/frontend-design”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): bash, write_file, read_file

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the user's frontend requirements
  2. Choose an aesthetic direction (tone, fonts, colors, motion)
  3. Generate the HTML/CSS/JS code
  4. Present the file path so the user can open it in a browser

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 86bf279. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • bash
    • write_file
    • read_file

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Frontend Design loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~18
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Frontend Design

Overview

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.

Output Requirements

MANDATORY: The entry HTML file MUST be named index.html.

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.
  • Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility)
  • Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?

CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work — the key is intentionality.

Then implement working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is:

  • Production-grade and functional
  • Visually striking and memorable
  • Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view
  • Meticulously refined in every detail

Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines

Typography
  • Choose fonts that are beautiful, unique, and interesting
  • Avoid generic fonts (Arial, Inter, Roboto, system fonts)
  • Pair a distinctive display font with a refined body font
  • Use Google Fonts or local font files
Color & Theme
  • Commit to a cohesive aesthetic
  • Use CSS variables for consistency
  • Dominant colors with sharp accents outperform timid, evenly-distributed palettes
  • Avoid cliched purple gradients on white backgrounds
Motion
  • Use animations for effects and micro-interactions
  • Prioritize CSS-only solutions for HTML
  • Focus on high-impact moments: one well-orchestrated page load with staggered reveals creates more delight than scattered micro-interactions
  • Use scroll-triggering and hover states that surprise
Spatial Composition
  • Unexpected layouts. Asymmetry. Overlap. Diagonal flow
  • Grid-breaking elements
  • Generous negative space OR controlled density
Show full SKILL.md (205 more words)Show less
Backgrounds & Visual Details
  • Create atmosphere and depth rather than defaulting to solid colors
  • Add contextual effects and textures: gradient meshes, noise textures, geometric patterns, layered transparencies, dramatic shadows, decorative borders, custom cursors, grain overlays

NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics:

  • Overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial)
  • Cliched color schemes (purple gradients on white)
  • Predictable layouts and component patterns
  • Cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character

Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code. Minimalist designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details.

Workflow

  1. Understand the user's frontend requirements
  2. Choose an aesthetic direction (tone, fonts, colors, motion)
  3. Generate the HTML/CSS/JS code:
    write_file("index.html", "<full HTML content>")
write_file("styles.css", "<full CSS content>")
write_file("script.js", "<full JS content>")
  4. Present the file path so the user can open it in a browser

Pitfalls

  • Generic aesthetics: the #1 failure mode. If it looks like every other AI-generated page, redo it with a bolder direction.
  • Font convergence: don't use the same fonts across every project. Vary.
  • Over-animation: too many animations overwhelm. One well-orchestrated moment beats ten scattered micro-interactions.
  • No dark mode: consider whether the design should support dark mode.
  • Accessibility: bold aesthetics must not sacrifice readability. Check contrast ratios, font sizes, focus states.

Can I use Frontend Design in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add HezaoHezao/poirot --skill frontend-design -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/frontend-design, .gemini/skills/frontend-design, .github/skills/frontend-design and .opencode/skills/frontend-design in your project.

What does Frontend Design need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Frontend Design is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: bash, write_file, read_file.

Does Frontend Design access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
