Make it yours, not the average.
Every AI builds the same site. tastecheck interviews you into a real design system first — then 19 skills make sure your agent ships taste, not slop.
Works with Claude Code · Codex · Gemini · Cursor · MIT
nineteen skills
What you get. All of it.
Each skill is a checkable contract — a real outcome you can hold, not a vibe.
design-system-interview
Grills you into a committed system + tokens before a line of code.
improve-existing-website
Audit a site, infer its intended system, and make it true.
color-system
OKLCH palettes that pass contrast.
web-typography
Scale, measure, rhythm, font loading.
spacing-system
One --space-* scale; section rhythm.
theming
Light + dark + high-contrast from one token set.
responsive-layout
Survives any width.
component-states
Every interactive state + ARIA.

deslop-ui

humanize-copy
Remove the ChatGPT accent from writing.
tastecheck-pass
The ship gate: every self-check, run + reported. With a pasteable auditor.
method
It interviews you first.
No menus. It surfaces every decision you didn't know you had, precisely and without rush.
It grills you
Function first, then references — it finds the pattern across what you love.
It commits
OKLCH palette with verified contrast, real type, structure, motion — as tokens.
It builds & checks
The skills apply the system, then audit the result against your spec.
findings
Three planes of slop. All of them.
It's not only the look — the skeleton repeats, and so does the copy. tastecheck quietly refuses all three.
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.
install
One command. Then just build.
