What it does

Frontend Design is an agent skill from xenitV1/claude-code-maestro. Elite Tier Web UI standards, including pixel-perfect retro aesthetics, immersive layouts, and UX psychology protocols.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts (for example `animation_reference.md`, `css_art_reference.md` and `frontend_reference.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Frontend development and Design to code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Frontend development
  • Tasks that involve Design to code

Example prompts

  • “/frontend-design”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 924315b. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 490 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Frontend Design System

Philosophy: Minimize cognitive load and make interactions intuitive. Every design decision should respect human psychology, behavioral patterns, and cognitive limitations. The designer bears complexity so the user experiences simplicity. Core Principle: Good design is invisible - users should accomplish their goals without noticing the design itself. Design should feel effortless and natural, aligning with how humans naturally think and behave.

⚠️ Core Protocols & Standards

ANTI-AI AESTHETIC MANDATE (CRITICAL): Never use generic aesthetics that give the impression of being AI-generated. This includes overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliché color schemes (especially purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts, and repetitive component patterns. ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN: The "Cyberpunk" aesthetic is strictly prohibited. Do NOT use neon glows, matrix rain, glitch effects, or "high-tech" dark modes unless explicitly requested for a specific context. This cliché is the hallmark of lazy AI generation. Specifically avoid template-driven designs that lack context-specific character. This skill aims to create distinctive, original, and production-level frontends. Realize functional, high-fidelity code by paying extraordinary attention to aesthetic details and creative decisions.

CRITICAL PROTOCOL: The detailed rules are stored in separate reference files. You MUST use the Read tool to load these files into your context BEFORE starting any design work. Do not assume you know the contents.

  • frontend_reference.md: Contains Technical Standards, Aesthetic Signatures, and Creative Protocols.
  • animation_reference.md: Contains 2025 Motion Standards, Physics-based animation rules, and Micro-interactions.
  • css_art_reference.md: FOR VISUAL OBJECTS. Use this when asked to "draw" or "create" complex items (Swords, Logos, Icons) using code. Defines Geometric Composition & LCH Materials.
  • security-protocols.md: Contains critical Frontend Security rules.

🎬 Core Animation Principles

Motion Mandate: Animation must be Physics-Based (Springs), Continuous (No Teleportation), and Meaningful (Storytelling).

  • Continuity: State changes must morph, not cut (View Transitions).
  • Weight: Objects must feel like they have mass (Use Spring Animations).
  • Focus: Animation guides attention; it does not distract.
  • Narrative: Every motion tells a story about where an element came from and where it is going. (See animation_reference.md for the full 12-Principle Framework)

When executing Frontend tasks, you MUST integrate these complementary skills to ensure architectural integrity:

SkillPurpose in Frontend Context
brainstormingMANDATORY PRE-REQUISITE. Before ANY design work, use this to interrogate the user's vague instructions and crystallize the "Screenplay/Narrative" defined in frontend_reference.md.
clean-codeMANDATORY. Ensures component modularity, cleaner hooks/state logic, and security compliance. Prevents "spaghetti UI code".
tdd-masteryMANDATORY. "Iron Law" applies to components too. Use for visual regression tests and logic verification before coding UI.
optimization-masteryUse for Performance Audits (Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals), reducing bundle size, and optimizing re-renders.
backend-designConsult this when defining API data shapes, error handling states, and ensuring type safety across the network boundary.
planning-masteryUse this to break down complex UI implementations into "Atomic" deliverables (Atoms -> Molecules -> Organisms).

🛠️ Automation Scripts

Use the following script to audit your implementation:

  • scripts/js/ux-audit.js: Run this to perform a heuristic analysis of the UI for consistency, accessibility (contrast/spacing), and compliance with the design tokens.
    • Usage: node scripts/js/ux-audit.js </domain_overview>

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 xenitV1/claude-code-maestro --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?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Frontend Design needs JavaScript for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (node). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash.

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.

Is Frontend Design safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Frontend Design use?

Frontend Design is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Frontend Design use?

About 1.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Frontend Design?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Frontend Design: Frontend UI Standards (MaxHan7/frontend-ui-standards-skill, 106 stars), Frontend UI UX (ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE, 253 stars), Figma use_figma Plugin API Rules (warpdotdev/warp, 65k stars) and Figma Design to Code (warpdotdev/warp, 65k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
