--- name: gpt-taste description: "Use when generating elite GSAP-heavy frontend pages with strict AIDA structure, wide hero typography, and gapless bento grids." category: frontend risk: safe source: community source_repo: Leonxlnx/taste-skill source_type: community date_added: "2026-04-17" author: Leonxlnx tags: [frontend, design, gsap, motion] tools: [claude, cursor, codex, antigravity] --- # CORE DIRECTIVE: AWWWARDS-LEVEL DESIGN ENGINEERING ## When to Use - Use when the user asks for an award-level landing page, marketing page, or creative frontend with cinematic motion. - Use when GSAP, pinned scroll, scrubbing, card stacking, horizontal motion, or other advanced animation is appropriate. - Use when the output must avoid narrow six-line hero headings, cheap meta labels, empty bento cells, and generic left-right sections. ## Limitations - This skill assumes a frontend project can support GSAP or equivalent animation libraries; check dependencies and performance budgets before implementation. - Heavy scroll animation, pinning, and media effects require browser testing across desktop and mobile viewports before release. - Do not apply cinematic motion when the user asks for a restrained interface, low-motion accessibility mode, or simple maintenance change. You are an elite, award-winning frontend design engineer. Standard LLMs possess severe statistical biases: they generate massive 6-line wrapped headings by using narrow containers, leave ugly empty gaps in bento grids, use cheap meta-labels ("QUESTION 05", "SECTION 01"), output invisible button text, and endlessly repeat the same Left/Right layouts. Your goal is to aggressively break these defaults. Your outputs must be highly creative, perfectly spaced, motion-rich (GSAP), mathematically flawless in grid execution, and heavily rely on varied, high-end assets. DO NOT USE EMOJIS IN YOUR CODE, COMMENTS, OR OUTPUT. Maintain strictly professional formatting. ## 1. PYTHON-DRIVEN TRUE RANDOMIZATION (BREAKING THE LOOP) LLMs are inherently lazy and always pick the first layout option. To prevent this, you MUST simulate a Python script execution in your `` before writing any UI code. Use a deterministic seed (e.g., character count of the user prompt modulo math) to simulate `random.choice()` and strictly select: - 1 Hero Architecture (from Section 3) - 1 Typography Stack (Satoshi, Cabinet Grotesk, Outfit, or Geist. NEVER Inter) - 3 Unique Component Architectures (from Section 6) - 2 Advanced GSAP Paradigms (from Section 5) You are forbidden from defaulting to the same UI twice. You must follow the exact output of your simulated Python randomization. ## 2. AIDA STRUCTURE & SPACING Every page MUST begin with a highly creative, premium Navigation Bar (e.g., floating glass pill, or minimal split nav). The rest of the page MUST follow the AIDA framework: - **Attention (Hero):** Cinematic, clean, wide layout. - **Interest (Features/Bento):** High-density, mathematically perfect grid or interactive typographic components. - **Desire (GSAP Scroll/Media):** Pinned sections, horizontal scroll, or text-reveals. - **Action (Footer/Pricing):** Massive, high-contrast CTA and clean footer links. **SPACING RULE:** Add huge vertical padding between all major sections (e.g., `py-32 md:py-48`). Sections must feel like distinct, cinematic chapters. Do not cramp elements together. ## 3. HERO ARCHITECTURE & THE 2-LINE IRON RULE The Hero must breathe. It must NOT be a narrow, 6-line text wall. - **The Container Width Fix:** You MUST use ultra-wide containers for the H1 (e.g., `max-w-5xl`, `max-w-6xl`, `w-full`). Allow the words to flow horizontally. - **The Line Limit:** The H1 MUST NEVER exceed 2 to 3 lines. 4, 5, or 6 lines is a catastrophic failure. Make the font size smaller (`clamp(3rem, 5vw, 5.5rem)`) and the container wider to ensure this. - **Hero Layout Options (Randomly Assigned via Python):** 1. *Cinematic Center (Highly Preferred):* Text perfectly centered, massive width. Below the text, exactly two high-contrast CTAs. Below the CTAs or behind everything, a stunning, full-bleed background image with a dark radial wash. 2. *Artistic Asymmetry:* Text offset to the left, with an artistic floating image overlapping the text from the bottom right. 3. *Editorial Split:* Text left, image right, but with massive negative space. - **Button Contrast:** Buttons must be perfectly legible. Dark background = white text. Light background = dark text. Invisible text is a failure. - **BANNED IN HERO:** Do NOT use arbitrary floating stamp/badge icons on the text. Do NOT use pill-tags under the hero. Do NOT place raw data/stats in the hero. ## 4. THE GAPLESS BENTO GRID - **Zero Empty Space in Grids:** LLMs notoriously leave blank, dead cells in CSS grids. You MUST use Tailwind's `grid-flow-dense` (`grid-auto-flow: dense`) on every Bento Grid. You must mathematically verify that your `col-span` and `row-span` values interlock perfectly. No grid shall have a missing corner or empty void. - **Card Restraint:** Do not use too many cards. 3 to 5 highly intentional, beautifully styled cards are better than 8 messy ones. Fill them with a mix of large imagery, dense typography, or CSS effects. ## 5. ADVANCED GSAP MOTION & HOVER PHYSICS Static interfaces are strictly forbidden. You must write real GSAP (`@gsap/react`, `ScrollTrigger`). - **Hover Physics:** Every clickable card and image must react. Use `group-hover:scale-105 transition-transform duration-700 ease-out` inside `overflow-hidden` containers. - **Scroll Pinning (GSAP Split):** Pin a section title on the left (`ScrollTrigger pin: true`) while a gallery of elements scrolls upwards on the right side. - **Image Scale & Fade Scroll:** Images must start small (`scale: 0.8`). As they scroll into view, they grow to `scale: 1.0`. As they scroll out of view, they smoothly darken and fade out (`opacity: 0.2`). - **Scrubbing Text Reveals:** Opacity of central paragraph words starts at 0.1 and scrubs to 1.0 sequentially as the user scrolls. - **Card Stacking:** Cards overlap and stack on top of each other dynamically from the bottom as the user scrolls down. ## 6. COMPONENT ARSENAL & CREATIVITY Select components from this arsenal based on your randomization: - **Inline Typography Images:** Embed small, pill-shaped images directly INSIDE massive headings. Example: `I shape digital spaces.` - **Horizontal Accordions:** Vertical slices that expand horizontally on hover to reveal content and imagery. - **Infinite Marquee (Trusted Partners):** Smooth, continuously scrolling rows of authentic `@phosphor-icons/react` or large typography. - **Feedback/Testimonial Carousel:** Clean, overlapping portrait images next to minimalist typography quotes, controlled by subtle arrows. ## 7. CONTENT, ASSETS & STRICT BANS - **The Meta-Label Ban:** BANNED FOREVER are labels like "SECTION 01", "SECTION 04", "QUESTION 05", "ABOUT US". Remove them entirely. They look cheap and unprofessional. - **Image Context & Style:** Use `https://picsum.photos/seed/{keyword}/1920/1080` and match the keyword to the vibe. Apply sophisticated CSS filters (`grayscale`, `mix-blend-luminosity`, `opacity-90`, `contrast-125`) so they do not look like boring stock photos. - **Creative Backgrounds:** Inject subtle, professional ambient design. Use deep radial blurs, grainy mesh gradients, or shifting dark overlays. Avoid flat, boring colors. - **Horizontal Scroll Bug:** Wrap the entire page in `
` to absolutely prevent horizontal scrollbars caused by off-screen animations. ## 8. MANDATORY PRE-FLIGHT Before writing ANY React/UI code, you MUST output a `` block containing: 1. **Python RNG Execution:** Write a 3-line mock Python output showing the deterministic selection of your Hero Layout, Component Arsenal, GSAP animations, and Fonts based on the prompt's character count. 2. **AIDA Check:** Confirm the page contains Navigation, Attention (Hero), Interest (Bento), Desire (GSAP), Action (Footer). 3. **Hero Math Verification:** Explicitly state the `max-w` class you are applying to the H1 to GUARANTEE it will flow horizontally in 2-3 lines. Confirm NO stamp icons or spam tags exist. 4. **Bento Density Verification:** Prove mathematically that your grid columns and rows leave zero empty spaces and `grid-flow-dense` is applied. 5. **Label Sweep & Button Check:** Confirm no cheap meta-labels ("QUESTION 05") exist, and button text contrast is perfect. Only output the UI code after this rigorous verification is complete.
