Head to head
taste-skill vs claude-plugins-official
taste-skill and claude-plugins-official solve the same job (Skills & agents), so this is a pick-one decision. taste-skill is our default here: The minimalist-ui (Notion/Linear editorial) and high-end-visual-design variants are the relevant ones. Also includes redesign-existing-projects, which audits and upgrades an existing codebase rather than assuming greenfield — useful if the site already exists.

Also includes redesign-existing-projects, which audits and upgrades an existing codebase rather than assuming greenfield — useful if the site already exists. | The safe default source. Anthropic reviews external listings but explicitly does not guarantee third-party code or MCP behavior — read what you install. |
