The AI skill stack
12curated skills across design, engineering, and QA. Each is an instruction pack you install with the skills CLI — expand one to see what it's for, how to install it, and any modes or sub-skills it adds.
ImpeccablePrimary design and polish
Visual direction, landing pages, layout, spacing, typography, hierarchy, and anti-generic UI critique — making work feel designed rather than templated.
npx skills add pbakaus/impeccableEmil Design EngineeringInteraction feel
Micro-interactions, hover states, transitions, motion restraint, removing cheap AI-looking animation, and premium component feel.
npx skills add emilkowalski/skillAvoid AI WritingVoice and copy — the only writing-layer skill
Removing AI-writing patterns from headlines, body copy, case studies, and service descriptions; auditing text without rewriting; targeted in-place edits; preserving a voice profile.
npx skills add conorbronsdon/avoid-ai-writingTaste SkillOptional — stronger stylistic variation
Stronger stylistic variation, redesigns of existing sites, image-to-code, and high-end direction. Install only when the project calls for it — it adds a second strong design opinion and is the most likely source of conflicts with Impeccable.
npx skills add Leonxlnx/taste-skillnext-best-practicesNext.js framework correctness
App Router structure, server/client boundaries, data loading, route handlers, metadata, image and font optimization, runtime selection, Suspense and loading states, hydration, and deployment correctness.
npx skills add vercel-labs/next-skills --skill next-best-practicesVercel Agent SkillsReact and component quality
Semantic HTML, accessibility structure, component quality and composition, avoiding messy AI-generated code, and performance polish. This repo holds many skills — the stack installs only the three below by default (vercel-optimize is added later, just before deploy).
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill web-design-guidelinesnpx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill react-best-practicesnpx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill composition-patternsKarpathy GuidelinesCoding discipline
Simpler solutions, surgical edits, avoiding overengineering, calling out assumptions, verifying success criteria, and preventing broad unrelated changes.
npx skills add forrestchang/andrej-karpathy-skills --skill karpathy-guidelinesMatt Pocock SkillsSelective — serious work only
Do not install the full set by default — pick the two below. grill-with-docs when architecture matters (challenging decisions, documenting tradeoffs, ADRs); tdd when logic must not regress (test-driven development, safer refactoring).
npx skills add mattpocock/skills --skill grill-with-docsnpx skills add mattpocock/skills --skill tddAccessLintAccessibility audit
WCAG checks, colour contrast, keyboard navigation, focus states, and accessible forms and interactive elements. Run before shipping anything public or client-facing.
npx skills add accesslint/claude-marketplacewebapp-testingBrowser QA
Screenshot testing, browser inspection, Playwright-style QA, checking rendered layouts, and catching broken states after implementation.
npx skills add anthropics/skills --skill webapp-testingvercel-optimizePre-deployment only
Performance and deployment optimization. A sub-skill of the Vercel agent-skills repo — install it only when a deployment is imminent, not by default.
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill vercel-optimizeGSAPMotion implementation
Serious motion: scroll-based animation, timelines, ScrollTrigger, cinematic landing pages, and hero sequences. A per-project dependency decision, not part of the default stack — motion must support meaning, hierarchy, or flow.
