This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade Svelte/SvelteKit interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices, leveraging Svelte's reactivity and SvelteKit's full-stack capabilities.
The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.
Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:
CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work - the key is intentionality, not intensity.
Then implement working Svelte/SvelteKit code that is:
Focus on:
NEVER use generic AI-generated aesthetics like overused font families (Inter, Roboto, Arial, system fonts), cliched color schemes (particularly purple gradients on white backgrounds), predictable layouts and component patterns, and cookie-cutter design that lacks context-specific character.
Interpret creatively and make unexpected choices that feel genuinely designed for the context. No design should be the same. Vary between light and dark themes, different fonts, different aesthetics. NEVER converge on common choices (Space Grotesk, for example) across generations.
IMPORTANT: Match implementation complexity to the aesthetic vision. Maximalist designs need elaborate code with extensive animations and effects. Minimalist or refined designs need restraint, precision, and careful attention to spacing, typography, and subtle details. Elegance comes from executing the vision well.
Remember: Claude is capable of extraordinary creative work. Don't hold back, show what can truly be created when thinking outside the box and committing fully to a distinctive vision.
When working on Svelte projects, leverage these component libraries:
Invoke shadcn-svelte-management skill when:
1. shadcn-svelte
src/lib/components/ui/src/app.css2. Skeleton UI
3. Melt UI
4. Custom Components
Choose component library based on project needs
Apply frontend-design principles for Svelte:
src/app.css with CSS variablestailwind.config.js with custom colors, fonts, animationsfade, fly, slide, scale)Leverage Svelte features:
$:) for dynamic styling<slot>on:eventKey customization files:
src/app.css → CSS variables, theme imports, custom fonts
tailwind.config.js → theme.extend: colors, fontFamily, animation, keyframes
src/lib/components/ui/* → Component overrides and custom components
src/routes/+layout.svelte → Global layout and theme provider
Svelte Design Patterns:
class: directives for conditional stylingtransition: directives for animationsRemember: Svelte component libraries provide solid structure; your job is to create visually distinctive and memorable interfaces through creative theming and Svelte's unique capabilities.
