design intelligence for AI agents

Make it yours, not the average.

Every AI builds the same site. tastecheck interviews you into a real design system first — then 15 skills make sure your agent ships taste, not slop.

Works with Claude Code · Codex · Gemini · Cursor · MIT

the problem

There isn’t one AI slop. There are three.

It’s not just the look — the skeleton repeats, and so does the copy. tastecheck refuses all three planes.

The look

Purple gradient or editorial serif — the same average, one season apart.

The structure

Centered hero, three cards, equal grid — the same bones under any skin.

The copy

The ChatGPT accent — buzzwords, hedging, one tired rhythm. We strip it.

how it works

It interviews you first.

No menus. It surfaces every decision you didn’t know you had.

01

It grills you

Function first, then references — it finds the pattern across what you love.

“‘Modern’ is a non-answer — name one you’d resemble.”
02

It commits

OKLCH palette with verified contrast, real type, structure, motion — as tokens.

“One dominant color, not five. And not indigo→violet.”
03

It builds & checks

The skills apply the system, then audit the result against your spec.

“That wine-red is the new tell. For your energy, push here.”
