Question 1

What is Taste Skill?

Accepted Answer

Taste Skill is a free, open-source SKILL.md file that gives AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex 'good taste' — preventing them from generating generic, repetitive frontend designs (AI slop).

Question 2

How do I install Taste Skill?

Accepted Answer

Run 'npx skills add Leonxlnx/taste-skill' in your project directory. This adds a SKILL.md file that your AI agent reads automatically.

Question 3

Which AI coding agents does Taste Skill work with?

Accepted Answer

Taste Skill works with every major AI coding agent: Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, v0, Lovable, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and AI Studio.

Question 4

Is Taste Skill free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Taste Skill is completely free and open-source under the MIT license.

Question 5

What is AI slop?

Accepted Answer

AI slop refers to the generic, repetitive frontend patterns that AI coding agents produce by default — 3-column icon grids, gradient buttons, emoji headers, and visually monotonous layouts. Taste Skill eliminates these patterns.

Question 6

How do I stop AI from generating boring, generic frontends?

Accepted Answer

Install Taste Skill with one command: npx skills add Leonxlnx/taste-skill. It injects opinionated design rules directly into your AI agent's context, replacing generic patterns with premium, intentional designs.

Question 7

What is a SKILL.md file and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A SKILL.md file is a portable instruction set that AI coding agents read automatically. It works like a system prompt — when your AI agent detects the file in your project, it follows the design rules inside it without any extra configuration.

Question 8

Does Taste Skill work with Claude Code and Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Taste Skill is compatible with every major AI coding agent including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Gemini CLI, v0, Lovable, OpenCode, OpenClaw, and AI Studio.

Question 9

Can I use Taste Skill to improve my existing UI designs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The redesign-skill variant is specifically built for auditing and upgrading existing interfaces. It runs a 6-category diagnostic and generates concrete improvements.

Question 10

Is Taste Skill a design system or a prompt framework?

Accepted Answer

It's both. Taste Skill encodes a complete design philosophy as structured rules that AI agents interpret as engineering constraints — not just suggestions.

Question 11

How does Taste Skill compare to custom cursor rules?

Accepted Answer

Custom cursor rules are project-specific and manually maintained. Taste Skill is a portable, versioned skill file backed by research on LLM probability bias and design variance, with 7 specialized variants and a parameterization system.
