About tastemaker
tastemaker is a free, open-source skill designed for coding agents like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Windsurf, created by maker Rohit Purkait. If you are tired of AI-generated web applications looking like identical templates, tastemaker injects genuine design taste into your development workflow.
The tool tackles two major pain points in AI-assisted coding: monotonous aesthetics and poor accessibility. It automatically generates fresh color palettes that are rigorously checked against real WCAG contrast standards, ensuring your application is visually appealing and compliant. Additionally, tastemaker varies page structure dynamically so that multiple projects never look like reskins of the exact same template.
