Broooooo this is sooo freaking awesome 🤯 This AI skill actually helps AI coding agents generate better-looking UIs. Taste Skill is an open-source skill that works with popular agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Lovable, v0, and more to reduce generic-looking frontend designs. Perfect for developers, vibe-coders... show more

"Anti-Slop" and it still has the slop-dot 💀

skills are literally 'paste url, say install' and suddenly your agent has taste. lowest-effort upgrade in the game 🔥 (@MatthewBerman)

dont forget to tag the guy that made it @LexnLin

is it better than impeccable ?

This open-source skill addresses a practical challenge in AI-assisted frontend development by reducing generic designs and offers broad compatibility with multiple coding agents, making it a useful addition for developers seeking more refined UI outputs.

nice idea but 'taste' isn't something you bolt on. it's a judgment call that changes per context. reducing generic UIs with a skill is a bandaid - what happens when every agent uses the same taste skill and everything looks same again?

Skillsssss! I’m curious if installing multiple skills backfires ever ?

This is a massive relief for anyone who is sick of the "AI monoculture". 🤩

It doesn’t work, used two of the skills it has with 3 models and it didn’t change anything. One skill was the redesign one all it did in 14 pages was change spacing of one element 😂

credit to @LexnLin he's done an awesome job!

How can you say it's a taste skill when the landing page looks like that

Give credit to @LexnLin

Neat approach - the unlock here is giving the agent an evaluation criterion, not just generation ability. Agents get good when they can judge their own output, not only produce it. Self-eval is the real edge. Built something similar -

Solid list. The quiet gap: Grok Build rarely shows up in these “popular agents” roundups. Not losing a bake-off — just not invited. If the list is meant to map what people actually build with, that absence shapes the narrative as much as anything on it.

Shows Taste skill has great UI skill

Cool addition, gives agents a quick UI polish layer. I’ve seen similar tricks work best when the base code is already clean. Keep the prompt tight for consistent results

@LexnLin

honestly so needed, most AI generated UIs have that same generic look. love seeing open source tools fix design taste for agents

Has anyone stress-tested it on a non-landing-page surface yet? forms, dashboards, the stuff that doesn't have a hero image to carry the look

Better-looking output is a starting point, not an acceptance test. Compare it with a reference at mobile width, check contrast and focus states, and run the core interaction flow. Otherwise “better taste” is just a style preset, not a reliable UI workflow.

终于不用再看满屏默认卡片了

been seeing this problem a lot. agents can build fast but taste still needs a good system behind it

taste is the real gap right now. agents ship working uis but they all look like the same template. curious if it holds up on dense app layouts or mostly landing pages?

honestly curious if it actually moves the needle or just makes AI-generated stuff look less obviously AI-generated for like 5 seconds

Better UIs across all those agents at once is a solid win

Most generated UIs are technically fine. They just look like every component library made the decision at once 😂 Taste is a very good name for the missing layer.

How do you create such screen recoding videos? With the zoom and the animations?

This is probably one of the biggest missing pieces in AI coding.

Honestly, I've seen AI tools struggle with UI. Is this skill for design agents or actual code generation? Curious how it works.

Those who have used it all say yes, and I feel that at least my page has no AI flavor.

Menarik buat dicoba nih! Tapi menurutku implementasi akan lebih terarah dan lebih predictable hasilnya ketika kita udah punya design plannya. Jadi yang sekarang aku pikirin, aku akan pakai OpenDesign untuk desain appnya dulu, kemudian pakai taste-skill untuk implementasi desainnya.
