Two design skills · both proven

high-end-visual-design 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.

high-end-visual-design

Classic style skill, opt-in: it runs only when called by name. A calm, polished look with soft contrast, generous whitespace and spring motion.
