plugin87 / apply-aesthetic

Apply a visual direction — 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…) — by resolving it into the token system. Use when the user wants a specific look/vibe/brand feel, or asks to make a design feel premium/expensive/non-generic.

Skill: Apply Aesthetic

Step 0 — is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING
On KIT_MISSING only the skill folders were installed, which is what
npx skills add does. Say so plainly, point the user at
npx ux-ui-agent-skills init or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the
contents of a file you could not open.

Choose and apply a design direction without breaking accessibility.

Steps

  1. Brief Inference first (mandatory) — before any tokens, name it: industry/domain, audience & tone, the one mood adjective the result must earn, motion depth, and the layout-family sequence (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../taste/design-taste.md → Brief Inference + Variance Mandate). Generating before deciding = slop.

  2. Pick a direction in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../taste/aesthetic-systems.md:

    • An archetype (recipe mapped to our tokens), or
    • A named library system — browse with python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/design_systems.py list (or search <term> / show <name>); specs live in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../design-systems/library/<name>/DESIGN.md.
  3. Apply the Library Contract (in aesthetic-systems.md): re-point semantic.* tokens to the chosen system's color roles; map typography/spacing/radius/shadow/motion to ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens/*.json.
  4. Verify contrast of every mapped color pair (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/contrast.py / a11y-audit). A brand value that fails must be adjusted — taste never overrides POUR.
  5. Add motion per ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../taste/motion-choreography.md; run the pre-flight aesthetic check in design-taste.md.

Output

Updated/overridden semantic tokens + notes on type/space/motion, then render via design-code. Confirm the result passes both the aesthetic check and accessibility.
