Taste Lab
Sen Lin
Taste Lab is a Claude Code skill that turns any URL into a complete design context: design tokens plus the reasoning and trade-offs behind every choice.
Key features
- Design Map Extraction: Captures every color, font weight, spacing value, radius, and shadow with exact px/hex/ratio citations across 20 measurement categories.
- Taste DNA Inference: Derives four design principles, each with a Trigger, Decision, Reason, Evidence, and Trade-off explaining why each choice was made.
- Four-Agent Pipeline: Runs Extract, Detect Patterns, Infer Taste, and Observer stages, each reading the page through a sharper lens.
- Anti-Slop Quality Gate: A final critic stage runs anti-slop checks and validates JSON before writing output.
- Dual File Output: Writes a {domain}.md and {domain}.json that any AI agent can build from.
Best for
- Cloning Design Systems: Give an AI agent a complete, reasoned design context to rebuild a site's look and feel.
- Design Reviews: Understand the deliberate trade-offs behind a website's visual decisions.
- Agent-Assisted Frontend Work: Feed structured taste files into coding agents so they make the right call on unseen pages.
