What changed
The frontend-design skill changed on 2026-09-03 to reject cliché or templated proposals. Published on 2026-09-28, this article covers commit 1713, which modified skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md. The text asks for deliberate choices about palette, typography, and layout tied to the brief, plus aesthetic risk only if justified.
Subject and hero rules
The skill requires the design to start from the product, audience, and primary job. It points to industry, materials, and vernacular as sources, with a toy for girls aged 8 to 11 differing from a dashboard for financial analysts. It defines the hero as the first thing viewers see and flags the big-number plus gradient pattern as the default.
Next step
Open skills/frontend-design/SKILL.md and compare one current draft against the revised hero rule. Replace the default pattern with one opening tied to the subject.
