deliberate-frontend-redesign

Activation Criteria

Activate this skill only when the user explicitly instructs the agent to redesign a frontend and references this skill by name.

Do not activate this skill for:

• General design discussions
• Critiques without a redesign request
• Implementation-only tasks such as writing code or CSS
• Requests for inspiration, trends, or examples

Execution Steps

1. Identify the provided context for the frontend, including any existing interface description, product type, or constraints.
2. Establish a single, committed aesthetic direction without referencing popular UI styles or industry norms.
3. Define the frontend design across the following dimensions:
   • Typography: select typefaces with strong character and intentional tone, avoiding common UI fonts.
   • Color & Theme: commit to a dominant palette with deliberate contrast and controlled restraint.
   • Layout & Composition: define structure with tension, hierarchy, and asymmetry where appropriate.
   • Backgrounds & Depth: specify atmospheric or structural background treatments that reinforce the aesthetic.
   • Motion or Stillness: declare whether motion is used or avoided, and define its role clearly.
4. Produce the design as a concrete, declarative specification describing visual decisions and their outcomes.
5. Avoid referencing trends, competitors, or familiar product aesthetics.
6. Output the design description directly, without explanation or justification.

Ambiguity Handling

• If product purpose or audience is unspecified, default to a neutral functional context without branding assumptions.
• If no existing interface is provided, design from a blank slate.
• Do not infer business goals, emotional tone, or user demographics beyond what is explicitly stated.

Constraints & Non-Goals

• Do not critique or evaluate existing designs unless explicitly included as part of the redesign context.
• Do not propose multiple stylistic options.
• Do not explain design theory or rationale.
• Do not produce code, mockups, or asset files.
• Do not reference prohibited visual patterns, brands, or aesthetic categories.

Failure Behavior

If the user does not explicitly request a frontend redesign using this skill’s name, or if no visual design can be defined from the provided input, output a minimal statement indicating that activation conditions were not met and terminate without generating a design.
