Free, open-source skill for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf. It generates a fresh palette checked against real WCAG contrast, and varies page structure so two projects never look like reskins of the same template.
I kept asking Claude to build a UI and getting the same thing back: an indigo gradient, a rounded card with a soft shadow, a hero that looks like every other SaaS launch this year. That's not a prompting problem. A model has no way to invent taste from a text description alone, so it defaults to whatever's most common in its training data.
tastemaker fixes the actual mechanism instead of writing a longer prompt. It generates a real palette every project and checks every color pairing against WCAG contrast with a script, not a guess. It picks a different page structure than your last build, so two projects don't come out as the same template in different colors. It remembers what you kept and rejected, so your tenth project starts from real preference instead of zero.
It's free, MIT licensed, and runs as plain Markdown and small Python scripts. No account, no API key, no hosted backend. I'd love your feedback, especially anywhere the output still looks generic to you. That's the whole reason this exists.
The WCAG contrast verification is the part that sells it for me. My agents constantly produce palettes that look fine and fail contrast like crazy. Does the preference learning persist across projects, or does each repo start from scratch? Would be cool to have a markdown file that gets updated with personal decisions and preferences. Maybe that could then be included by default into every new session you start.
Cool product! :)
i've tried it myself, it's a good skill one to have for UI designing. easiest way to get rid of AI slop designs
good job rohit
Generated a palette in seconds and the contrast scores actually checked out on my forms. The layout variation between test runs is a nice touch too, beats the usual copy-paste feel you get from most generators.
