This is a Claude skill that provides methodology and guidance for designing distinctive, non-generic user interfaces. It walks through grounding a design in the actual subject matter, making deliberate choices about color, typography, and layout, and avoiding visual patterns that are recognizable as generic AI output. It also lays out a two-pass workflow: first draft a compact design plan (color, type, layout, principles), review that plan against the brief to catch generic defaults, and only then build the code. Additional guidance covers restraint, self-critique through screenshots, and writing interface copy from the end user's perspective. It does not connect to any external service; it is a set of design and writing principles for Claude to apply when creating or reworking UI.
