How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/garrytan/gstack

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (plan-design-review) or with one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.

junior-to-senior
Adversarial senior-engineer review for agent-generated plans, designs, and architectures. Treats the current output as junior work, constructs a senior reviewer whose domain expertise comes from live codebase research plus web research of current best practices, diagnoses altitude failures (too vague or too granular), then rewrites the plan into a scoped, state-of-the-art version. Use when the user says "junior to senior", "senior review", "review this like a staff engineer", when a plan feels hand-wavy or lost in details, or before committing to any agent-written plan.

design-taste-frontend
tasteskill v2, the anti-slop frontend skill. Art direction for websites, distilled from a study of 247 curated gallery sites (One Page Love, Awwwards Sites of the Day). Deals researched directions (idea, composition, type, palette, photographs, section blueprints) from a library, enforces a strict no-slop house style with a real-browser inspector, and runs a look-and-fix loop on screenshots. Use this whenever you build, design, redesign, restyle, polish or review a landing page, marketing site, portfolio, product page, one-pager, hero or any public-facing web page, in any stack (HTML/CSS, React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Tailwind) — also when the user says a page looks generic, templated, "AI-made", sloppy, or asks to make it look designed, premium, award-level or less like every other site. Also for app screens: dashboards, admin and analytics views, settings, inboxes and other screens people work in, with their own run and rules.

frontend-design-deslop
Designs distinctive, non-generic UI — typography, OKLCH color, design tokens (DESIGN.md), layout, components, motion, dark mode, accessibility — for landing pages, SaaS apps, dashboards, ecommerce, decks, docs, portfolios, avoiding the AI-slop / Claude-esque default look. Use whenever building or styling any web frontend, app, dashboard, landing page, deck, or artifact, or when the user says "make it not look like AI", "de-slopify", "deslop", "less generic", "give it character", "design a UI for X", "design an app", "update DESIGN.md", or complains the output looks like every other AI site. Trigger even on a bare "build a UI for X" with no aesthetic named. Not for writing marketing copy.
