What it does
- Forces a brief inference first: industry, audience/tone, the single mood adjective the design must earn, motion depth, and layout-family sequence — no generating before deciding.
- Lets you pick an archetype (high-end agency, editorial minimal, brutalist, soft-SaaS, dark-tech) or one of 138 named systems (Apple, Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Notion, Material, shadcn, Spotify, Tesla…).
- Applies a "Library Contract": re-points
semantic.*color tokens and maps typography, spacing, radius, shadow, and motion intotokens/*.json. - Verifies contrast on every mapped pair via
scripts/contrast.py/ an a11y audit; brand colors that fail get adjusted — taste never overrides POUR.
Who it's for
- Front-end engineers and product designers working from design tokens.
- Anyone tired of AI-generated UI all looking the same.
- Teams that must satisfy both brand look-and-feel and WCAG contrast.
Example uses
- "Make this landing page feel like Linear" → loads the Linear spec, re-maps semantic tokens, checks contrast.
- "Make this fintech dashboard look more expensive" → brief inference, then the high-end agency archetype plus motion choreography.
- "Use our brand palette in a dark-tech style" → brand colors enter the token set, failing pairs are corrected automatically.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .claude/skills/apply-aesthetic folder from the GitHub repo plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/apply-aesthetic/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r ux-ui-agent-skills/.claude/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the whole skill set (don't copy SKILL.md alone — it depends on
taste/,scripts/,tokens/, anddesign-systems/):cp -r ux-ui-agent-skills/.claude/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm Python 3 is available with
python3 --version(needed forscripts/contrast.pyandscripts/design_systems.py). - Restart Claude Code, then try a prompt like "restyle this page to feel like Stripe" to confirm the skill triggers.
