Curated by Skill Harbor — @bencium's impact-designer skill (based on Anthropic's Frontend Designer skill): build distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Core philosophy: ask to understand context first (purpose, tone, constraints, what makes it unforgettable), then COMMIT BOLDLY to one aesthetic direction. Ships a huge tone-option menu (brutally minimal, retro-futuristic, brutalist, art deco, clay/soft 3D, cinematic noir, Nordic calm, museum exhibition, blueprint…), foundational design principles (distinctive typography — never Inter/Roboto/Arial/Space Grotesk by default; cohesive color with sharp accents; deliberate motion; unexpected spatial composition; atmospheric backgrounds), an anti-generic-patterns list (no SaaS blue, no purple gradients on white, no glass morphism, no "Claude-generated" look), inspiration sources (Awwwards, FWA, Codrops, studio references), creative reframing prompts ("What would Sagmeister do?", "What if this was a museum exhibit?"), an anti-sameness protocol (roll dice on color temperature, layout, type personality, motion, density), and an implementation checklist (gradient meshes, grain overlays, dramatic shadows, custom cursors). Honest caveats: guidance + creative process, no tooling — the agent writes the code; overlaps with other design listings here (anthropics frontend-design variants, cline-skills-frontend-design, affaan-m-ecc-frontend-design) — same craft, different authors. MIT licensed. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Discovered via skills.sh.

Install
Prerequisites: a frontend project or UI request to apply it to — the skill is design guidance the agent follows, not software to install Install "Impact designer — distinctive production-grade frontend interfaces" for me. It gives my agent @bencium's impact-design workflow (based on Anthropic's Frontend Designer skill): ask for context first, then commit boldly to one aesthetic direction from a large tone menu (minimal, retro-futuristic, brutalist, art deco, clay 3D, noir…); distinctive typography, cohesive color, deliberate motion, unexpected composition, atmospheric backgrounds; anti-generic-patterns rules (no SaaS blue, no purple gradients, no glass morphism); inspiration sources, creative reframing prompts, an anti-sameness dice protocol, and an implementation checklist. MIT-licensed. Repository: https://github.com/bencium/bencium-marketplace/blob/main/bencium-impact-designer/skills/bencium-impact-designer/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "bencium-impact-designer". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. point the agent at the UI to build or redesign; nothing else — it's a methodology). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
