Apply Aesthetic
Turns a vibe or a named brand style into concrete design tokens, then verifies color contrast so taste never breaks accessibility.

What it does
- Forces a brief inference first: industry, audience & tone, the one mood adjective the result must earn, motion depth, and layout-family sequence.
- Lets you pick an archetype (high-end agency, editorial minimal, brutalist, soft-SaaS, dark-tech) or one of 138 named design systems (apple, linear-app, stripe, vercel, notion, material, shadcn, spotify, tesla…).
- Applies the Library Contract: re-points
semantic.*tokens to the chosen system's color roles and maps typography, spacing, radius, shadow and motion intotokens/*.json. - Verifies contrast on every mapped pair via
scripts/contrast.py/ a11y-audit; failing brand values get adjusted — POUR wins over taste.
Who it's for
- Front-end engineers and product designers working with token-based design systems.
- Anyone tired of AI-generated UI that all looks the same.
- Teams that must honor brand color while still passing WCAG contrast.
Examples
- "Make this landing page feel dark-tech like Linear" → reads the system spec, re-maps tokens, runs contrast checks.
- "Our SaaS dashboard looks cheap — make it feel premium" → infers the brief, then applies a fitting archetype.
- "Keep our brand purple but pass accessibility" → maps brand roles and nudges only the failing pairs.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills/HEAD/.claude/skills/apply-aesthetic/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
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 /tmp/ux-ui-agent-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/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 directory:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skills in:
cp -r ux-ui-agent-skills/.claude/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm the referenced assets came along (
taste/,scripts/,design-systems/library/,tokens/) — the skill depends on them. - Check Python 3 is available (
python3 --version) for the contrast and design-system scripts. - Restart Claude Code and try: "Restyle this UI in a Stripe-like aesthetic."
