Two design skills · both proven

design-taste-frontend-v1 vs web-design-guidelines

Both skills were run through Claude twice: once on a fixed brief without the skill, once with it. The briefs differ because each is written for the job the skill claims to do, so compare each skill against its own baseline, then decide which difference matters for your work.

design-taste-frontend-v1

The original taste-skill v1, kept for projects that depend on its exact behaviour. Opt-in: it runs only when called by name.
