Hallmark is a design skill for AI coding assistants that makes the UIs they generate look made, not generated. It is opinionated, short, and boring on purpose: it encodes a tight rule set drawn from the consensus of the anti-AI-slop design field (Anthropic's frontend-design skill, the Claude cookbook on frontend aesthetics, and the 2026 "tactile rebellion" movement), and refuses to let the model fall back to the defaults every LLM was trained on.
The differentiator is structural variety, not just visual variety. Two pages built by Hallmark for two different briefs should not share the same hero, three-feature, CTA, footer rhythm. They should feel like different sites, not different color swaps of the same template. The structural rules live in references/structure.md in the repo. The skill is Powered by Together AI.
The skill has one default behavior and three explicit verbs (defined in SKILL.md), which gives a Hermes agent a fixed interface for steering design output instead of free-form prompting.
Installation¶
npx skills add https://github.com/nutlope/hallmark --skill hallmark
Or the shorthand:
npx skills add nutlope/hallmark
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Node.js | Recent LTS for the npx skills installer |
| Agent skill directory | Any agent that reads SKILL.md packages (Hermes skills format) |
Core Skill¶
| Skill | Installs | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| hallmark | 48.5K | Anti-slop frontend design: structural variety, non-default layouts, tactile-rebellion styling, and a fixed verb interface (one default behavior + three explicit verbs) for steering generated UI |
Security Audit Status (skills.sh, verified Aug 31, 2026)¶
| Skill | Gen Agent Trust Hub | Socket | Snyk |
|---|---|---|---|
| hallmark | Pass | Pass | Pass |
All three audits Pass - the basis for the 🟢 Production tier.
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Landing pages that do not look template-generated | Hallmark's structural-variety rules prevent the hero → 3 features → CTA → footer rhythm that flags AI output; every CorpusIQ page gets a distinct structure |
| Visual answers and reports | When agents generate HTML for business reports or visual answers, Hallmark's rules stop the default LLM aesthetics |
| Brand surface work | SEO pages, pricing pages, and product pages generated by agents read as designed artifacts rather than model defaults |
| Prompt design reference | The SKILL.md is a working example of a tight, opinionated design constraint set - a model for CorpusIQ's own content gates |
Limitations / Verification¶
- Single-skill cluster; the full anti-slop rule set lives in
references/structure.mdinside the repo - install with the repo (not a copied excerpt) so the reference files stay available. - Hallmark is a constraint skill, not a component library: it shapes how an agent writes HTML/CSS but ships no UI components itself.
- The three explicit verbs and default behavior are documented in SKILL.md; read them once before relying on the verb interface.
Verification after install:
npx skills add nutlope/hallmark --list # skill discovered by the installer
ls ~/.claude/skills/hallmark/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null || echo "check your agent skill dir"
