Instructions

This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.

The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.

## Design Thinking

Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
- **Purpose**: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
- **Tone**: Commit to a distinct direction: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, luxury/refined, lo-fi/zine, dark/moody, soft/pastel, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, retro-futuristic, handcrafted/artisanal, organic/natural, art deco/geometric, playful/whimsical, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are infinite varieties to start from and surpass. Use these as inspiration, but the final design should feel singular, with every detail working in service of one cohesive direction.
- **Constraints**: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
- **Differentiation**: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?

**CRITICAL**: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it vigorously. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity.

Then implement working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is:
- Production-grade, functional, and responsive
- Visually striking and memorable
- Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view
- Meticulously refined in every detail

## Frontend Aesthetics Guidelines

Focus on:
- **Typography**: Typography carries the design's singular voice. Choose fonts with interesting personality. Default fonts signal default thinking: skip Arial, Inter, Roboto, system stacks. Font choices should be inseparable from the aesthetic direction. Display type should be expressive, even risky. Body text shou
