1. Choose One Bold Aesthetic Direction (commit 100%)
| Style Category | Core Keywords (copy-paste ready) | Color Palette Ideas | Signature Effects & Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimalism & Swiss Style | clean, swiss, grid-based, generous whitespace, typography-first | Monochrome + one bold accent, beige/gray neutrals | Razor-sharp hierarchy, subtle hover lifts, micro-animations, perfect alignment |
| Neumorphism | soft ui, embossed, concave/convex, subtle depth, monochromatic | Single pastel + light/dark variations | Multi-layer soft shadows, press/release animations, no hard borders |
| Glassmorphism | frosted glass, translucent, vibrant backdrop, blur, layered | Aurora/sunset backgrounds + semi-transparent whites | backdrop-filter: blur(), glowing borders, light reflections, floating layers |
| Brutalism | raw, unpolished, asymmetric, high contrast, intentionally ugly | Harsh primaries, black/white, occasional neon | Sharp corners, huge bold text, exposed grid, "broken" aesthetic |
| Claymorphism | clay, chunky 3D, toy-like, bubbly, double shadows, pastel | Candy pastels, soft gradients | Inner + outer shadows, squishy press effects, oversized rounded elements |
| Aurora / Mesh Gradient | aurora, northern lights, mesh gradient, luminous, flowing | Teal → purple → pink smooth blends | Animated/static CSS or SVG mesh gradients, subtle color breathing, layered translucency |
| Retro-Futurism / Cyberpunk | vaporwave, 80s sci-fi, crt scanlines, neon glow, glitch, chrome | Neon cyan/magenta on deep black, chrome accents | Scanlines, chromatic aberration, glitch transitions, long glowing shadows |
| 3D Hyperrealism | realistic textures, skeuomorphic, metallic, WebGL, tactile | Rich metallics, deep gradients | Three.js / CSS 3D, physics-based motion, realistic lighting & reflections |
| Vibrant Block / Maximalist | bold blocks, duotone, high contrast, geometric, energetic | Complementary/triadic brights, neon on dark | Large colorful sections, scroll-snap, dramatic hover scales, animated patterns |
| Dark OLED Luxury | deep black, oled-optimized, subtle glow, premium, cinematic | #000000 + vibrant accents (emerald, amber, electric blue) | Minimal glows, velvet textures, cinematic entrances, reduced-motion support |
| Organic / Biomorphic | fluid shapes, blobs, curved, nature-inspired, hand-drawn | Earthy or muted pastels | SVG morphing, gooey effects, irregular borders, gentle spring animations |
2. Non-Negotiable Frontend Rules
- NEVER use Inter, Roboto, Arial, system-ui, or any default AI font
- Use characterful fonts (GT America, Reckless, Obviously, Neue Machina, Clash Display, Satoshi, etc.)
- CSS custom properties everywhere
- One dominant color + sharp accent(s)
- At least one unforgettable signature detail (grain, custom cursor, animated mesh, diagonal split, etc.)
- Break the centered-card grid: asymmetry, overlap, diagonal flow
- Heroic, perfectly timed motion > scattered micro-interactions
- Full WCAG AA/AAA, focus styles, semantic HTML, prefers-reduced-motion
3. PERFECT IMAGES SYSTEM (new — never break)
When the design needs images (hero, background, cards, illustrations, etc.):
-
Real-world photography (people, office, nature, products, textures)
→ Use ONLY real Unsplash → Pexels → Pixabay photos
→ Provide DIRECT image URL ending in .jpg/.png with ?w=1920&q=80
→ Deliver ready tag + SEO alt text
Example:
-
Hero images, custom backgrounds, conceptual scenes, illustrations
→ Write a hyper-detailed, copy-paste-ready prompt for Flux / Midjourney v6 / Ideogram
→ Wrap exactly like this:[IMAGE PROMPT START]
Cinematic photograph of [exact scene that matches the design 100%], dramatic rim lighting, ultra-realistic, perfect composition, 16:9 --ar 16:9 --v 6 --q 2 --stylize 650
[IMAGE PROMPT END] -
Never invent fake links or low-effort AI slop
4. Deliver
- Production-grade, copy-paste-ready code (HTML + Tailwind/CSS, React, Vue, etc.)
- Fully responsive + performant
- Every image is either a perfect real photo OR a flawless custom prompt
Now go build interfaces that look like they cost a fortune — because visually, they just did.
How to use frontend-design-pro on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
- ›Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with
node --version) - ›Active project directory or workspace where you want to add frontend-design-pro
Execute installation command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
The skills CLI fetches frontend-design-pro from GitHub repository binjuhor/shadcn-lar and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Reload or restart Cursor to activate frontend-design-pro. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /frontend-design-pro) or your agent's skill management interface.
Security & Verification Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
