Every AI-built site looks the same, so I built a skill that locks taste before any code is written

I build a lot of side projects with AI coding tools. Mostly Claude Code. A few months ago I noticed something that kept bugging me. Every site I shipped looked the same. Same indigo gradient. Same default font. Same rounded cards with the same soft shadow. Then I started noticing it on other people's projects too. Demo days, launch posts, screenshots on social media. The indigo gradient is everywhere. It is basically a uniform at this point. This is not really the AI's fault. When you do not give a model a design direction, it picks the average of the internet. And the average of the internet is a Tailwind starter template with an indigo gradient and Inter. The model is doing exactly what it was trained to do. The problem is that nobody told it what you actually want. So I built tastemaker. It is a skill for Claude Code, and it also works with Cursor, Windsurf, and Codex. The idea is simple: lock the design system before the AI writes a single line of UI. Full disclosure before we go further: I built this. I am a solo builder. It is free and open source under the MIT license. I am posting it here because I want honest feedback, not because I have anything to sell you. There is nothing to buy. Taste first, code second A skill is just a folder of instructions the AI reads before it starts working. tastemaker forces a design decision step at the beginning, with real constraints, instead of letting the model improvise the look as it goes. When you start a UI project with it installed, this is what gets locked before any code exists: A palette. 5 presets, each matched to a mood. Not random hex codes. Combinations that were picked to work together. Fonts. 24 curated Google Font pairings. A display font and a body font that actually belong on the same page. Real assets. Illustrator-grade illustrations, recolored to your palette. No gray placeholder boxes. No generic stock photo energy. A logo. A constructed geometric mark, plus a full favicon set, so the tab icon is not th
