Taste, encoded as an agent skill
What it is
A design skill for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex that pushes back on generic AI output: 22 themes across four genres, four verbs (build, audit, redesign, study), a 65-gate quality checklist, and per-project memory to stop repetitive design choices. Pure HTML/CSS/JS, no build step.
Why it's interesting
From Hassan El Mghari (Nutlope), a prolific open-source AI builder — an early, concrete attempt to make agent-generated interfaces not look agent-generated. 'Taste as code' is either a beautiful idea or a category error, and watching which is half the fun.
Use cases
- Better front-end output from coding agents
- Auditing an existing UI for genericness
Who it's for
Developers shipping front-ends through AI coding agents
Setup
Trivial. Install as a skill in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex
Limitations & cautions
Brand new, tiny, and opinionated — its aesthetics are its author's. Whether encoded taste survives contact with a thousand different projects is an open question.
Editorial takeaway
The smallest project in this catalog and one of the most provocative: a bet that design judgment can be versioned.
