About Taste Skill
Taste Skill is an open-source frontend framework for AI agents that prevents generic, templated UI generation. It provides skill files that integrate with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, v0, Lovable, and OpenCode. The framework enforces design direction through brief inference, design system mapping, dark mode protocol, and redesign audits. v2 is a substantial rewrite with stricter rules, bans, and animation stack control. Multiple skill variants are available for different design preferences, including minimalist, brutalist, soft, and image generation skills.
