How to build frontends without the generic AI look in Claude Code with Anthropic Skills

Install Anthropic's example Anthropic Skills in Claude Code and use the frontend-design skill to commit to a bold aesthetic direction, with a reviewed design plan, before Claude writes any UI code.

Short answer: Run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills in Claude Code to register the repo as a plugin marketplace; then run /plugin install example-skills@anthropic-agent-skills to install the example Anthropic Skills, which include frontend-design; give Claude a brief with the real subject, audience and primary job of the page; if the brief leaves the subject out, the skill has Claude propose one and confirm it with you. All steps.

Who it is forA developer or founder who asks Claude for a landing page or app UI and keeps getting the same templated look.

The problemGenerated pages cluster around the same defaults the skill itself lists: a warm cream background with a terracotta accent, identical rounded SaaS cards with soft grey shadows, and an all-caps eyebrow label above every heading.

The outcomeA UI built from a design plan specific to your subject (named palette, deliberate typefaces, a layout concept), with one memorable element and a quality floor of mobile responsiveness, visible keyboard focus and reduced motion.

What you need first

  • Claude Code to install the plugins (Claude.ai paid plans already include the example skills)
  • The Claude API only if you use pre-built or custom skills through the API
  • Many skills are Apache 2.0; the docx, pdf, pptx and xlsx skills are source-available, not open source

Steps

  1. Run /plugin marketplace add anthropics/skills in Claude Code to register the repo as a plugin marketplace
  2. Run /plugin install example-skills@anthropic-agent-skills to install the example Anthropic Skills, which include frontend-design
  3. Give Claude a brief with the real subject, audience and primary job of the page; if the brief leaves the subject out, the skill has Claude propose one and confirm it with you
  4. Ask for the design plan first: 4 to 6 named hex colors, the typefaces and their roles, a layout concept with ASCII wireframes, and the principles that make this page unique
  5. Have Claude review the plan against the brief and revise any part that reads like a generic default, saying what changed and why, before it writes code
  6. Check the build against the quality floor: responsive down to mobile, visible keyboard focus, reduced motion respected

Prompt for your agent

Use the frontend-design skill from anthropics/skills to design a landing page for my product. Before writing any code, give me a design plan: 4 to 6 named hex colors, the typefaces and their roles, a layout concept with an ASCII wireframe, and the principles. Review the plan against my brief, revise anything that reads like a generic default and tell me what you changed. Spend the boldness in one place, and keep it responsive down to mobile with visible keyboard focus and reduced motion respected.

Caveat. The README says these Anthropic Skills are for demonstration and educational purposes and that what Claude does may differ from what is shown, so test the skill in your own environment first. On Claude.ai paid plans the example Anthropic Skills are already available without the plugin.
