This is a plug-in for Claude Code, the AI coding assistant, that prevents it from producing the same generic visual style on every project. When you ask Claude to build a website, landing page, dashboard, or slide deck, it normally defaults to a recognizable pattern: purple or indigo color gradients, a flat sans-serif font called Inter, uniformly rounded cards, emoji used as icons, and marketing copy full of words like "Elevate" and "Unlock." This skill overrides those defaults so the output looks like a real design decision rather than a statistical average. The reason this happens is baked into how AI models work. Without explicit constraints, a language model picks the most statistically common choice from its training data. For visual design, that average is whatever appeared most often in the tutorials and templates it learned from, which is why every unconstrained AI-generated page looks nearly identical. The skill addresses this by naming nine specific traps and requiring Claude to make a deliberate choice in each one. The nine rules prohibit reflexive color choices, generic font pairings, uniform spacing, emoji icons, blanket animations, benefit-speak copy, made-up statistics, cookie-cutter page structure, and a second-order trap where the first fix produces its own monoculture (the warm cream paper and terracotta accent look that tends to appear once the purple gradient is banned). The skill also includes a hard requirement to actually render and look at any UI before calling it done. The package includes four files: the core skill rules, a reference for web app and landing page tells, a reference for presentation deck tells, and a toolkit of concrete font pairings, palettes, and spacing scales. Installation takes a single copy command, either into one project or globally so it applies everywhere. The rules were built from a real test: ten baseline artifacts were generated without guidance, dissected for recurring patterns, then rebuilt under the new constraints and scored. A second pass caught the skill's own secondary defaults and tightened the rules further. The license is MIT, meaning it can be used and adapted freely.
