Aesthetic Skill

Transform any design from generic to gorgeous using AgencyOS’s systematic aesthetic framework.

Just Ask Claude To


  • “Analyze this Dribbble design and extract the color palette, typography, and spacing system”
  • “Generate a hero section design for a luxury skincare brand with soft, elegant aesthetics”
  • “Rate this UI mockup’s aesthetic quality and suggest improvements”
  • “Create micro-interactions for this card component—150-300ms, ease-out animations”
  • “Build a design guideline document from this Behance inspiration screenshot”
  • “Iterate this design until it scores 8/10+ on aesthetic quality”
  • “Add storytelling elements with parallax scrolling and thematic consistency”

What You’ll Get

  • Design Analysis Reports: Color palettes (hex codes), typography specs (fonts, sizes, weights), spacing scales, visual hierarchy breakdowns, aesthetic quality scores (1-10)
  • Refined Design Assets: AI-generated hero images, backgrounds, textures—iterated until they meet 7/10+ quality standards
  • Production-Ready Code: Micro-interactions with precise timing (150-300ms), design system implementation, accessibility-compliant components
  • Design Documentation: design-guideline.md and design-story.md templates auto-generated from analysis

Supported Stacks

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, HTML/Tailwind
  • Design Analysis: Dribbble, Mobbin, Behance, Awwwards screenshots
  • Asset Generation: AI-generated images via ai-multimodal skill
  • Media Processing: FFmpeg, ImageMagick for refinement

Common Use Cases

Startup Founder: “Analyze top 3 SaaS landing pages from Dribbble and create our design system” → Extracts color theory, typography hierarchy, component patterns from real examples

Designer: “Generate a glassmorphic dashboard hero with purple-blue gradients, then iterate until perfect” → AI generates → analyzes quality → refines prompt → repeats until 7/10+ score

Developer: “Add satisfying micro-interactions to this navbar—smooth transitions, hover states” → Implements 200ms ease-out animations, sequential delays, professional polish

Agency: “Build a design guideline doc from this client’s Behance inspiration board” → Captures screenshots → extracts design DNA → documents standards

Product Team: “Review our UI mockup and rate aesthetic quality with improvement suggestions” → Scores visual hierarchy, typography, spacing → provides actionable fixes

Pro Tips

  • Quality Gate: Never accept designs scoring below 7/10—iterate using analysis feedback
  • Timing Matters: 150-300ms for micro-interactions; longer feels sluggish, shorter feels jarring
  • Human Standards: AI learns aesthetics from your curated examples (Dribbble, Awwwards)—garbage in, garbage out
  • Progressive Disclosure: Start BEAUTIFUL (aesthetics) → RIGHT (usability) → SATISFYING (micro-interactions) → PEAK (storytelling)
  • Not activating? Say: “Use aesthetic skill to analyze this design” or “Activate aesthetic skill for this UI work”

Framework: Four Stages

  1. BEAUTIFUL: Study high-quality examples (Dribbble, Behance), extract visual principles (hierarchy, typography, color theory, white space)
  2. RIGHT: Ensure functionality—WCAG accessibility, design systems, component architecture
  3. SATISFYING: Add micro-interactions—150-300ms duration, ease-out entry, ease-in exit, sequential delays
  4. PEAK: Storytelling through design—parallax, particle systems, thematic consistency (use restraint)

Key Takeaway

Aesthetic skill turns “AI slop” into professional design by teaching Claude to analyze real-world examples, iterate until quality standards are met (7/10+ scores), and implement with precise micro-interactions. Beauty without usability is worthless—follow BEAUTIFUL → RIGHT → SATISFYING → PEAK.
