What does frontend-design do?

frontend-design is a Claude Code plugin that installs one skill, also called frontend-design, which Claude loads on its own when you ask for frontend work. Before writing code, Claude picks a clear aesthetic direction for the request, such as a music app dashboard, a startup landing page or a settings panel with dark mode. It then writes working interface code with deliberate choices for typography, color palette, layout, motion and visual detail, steering away from the generic look of AI-made pages. The plugin adds no commands, hooks or servers. You use it by describing the page or component you want in plain words.
