Our verdict

3/5 out of 5

Passed the cut

Design Artifact gave Tally its own idea: cash envelopes drawn with flaps and fill bars, tally marks that count days left and form the logo, cool ledger grey with cobalt and marigold, and condensed Big Shoulders Display headlines. The dashboard is a calm, cool-toned app screen with Bricolage Grotesque and one cobalt accent. Both are clean and distinct. Pick it when you want the agent to come up with a concept, not just a palette.

Pick it for

  • product landing pages
  • demos and prototypes
  • reports and plans
  • clean dashboards

Skip it for

  • teams with a fixed brand
  • playful consumer brands
  • image-led marketing

Observations

  1. the landing and dashboard use different display fonts, so they feel like siblings rather than one system

ECC Frontend Design Direction

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 282k

ECC keeps a Fraunces and cream landing page but adds mono labels and a tilted sticky note. The IBM Plex dashboard is more useful than the baseline's, with a sync alert, search and person filters.

Passed, score 3 out of 5

Creative (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

Creative turns Tally into a comic book: Bangers headlines, IBM Plex Mono body text, thick black outlines with pop shadows, halftone dots, speech bubbles and highlighter yellow. The dashboard is a set of comic panels on cream halftone. It is one of the boldest looks here, but both mobile pages scroll sideways. Pick it for playful brands, and plan to fix the phone layout.

Taste Skill (design-taste-frontend)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 98k

Taste makes the boldest landing page in the set, a white Swiss poster with giant Anton type, electric blue and red. The dashboard looks like a different skill made it, and it scrolls sideways on a phone.

Passed, score 3 out of 5

Product Proof SaaS (Meng To)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 6.8k

Product Proof SaaS puts the product first: a white page with a large, readable app screen right under the headline, Inter Tight, mono labels and a single blue accent. The dashboard is clean Geist with blue bars and a clear overspend alert. It is focused and credible, if plain, and the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for SaaS pages that need to show the product working.
