Design Taste Frontend (leonxlnx) vs High End Visual Design (leonxlnx)
Design Taste Frontend (leonxlnx) and High End Visual Design (leonxlnx) are both Visual skills, so an agent choosing between them is matching on descriptions that overlap. Here is where they actually diverge.
Design Taste Frontend
leonxlnx
Builds the persuasion surface of a website - a launch page, a personal or studio portfolio, a visual overhaul of a site that already exists - and ships the working page, steered hard away from the templated look a model reaches for by default: a stated aesthetic read of the brief, a committed type and colour language, and motion that has to justify itself. Its scope stops at surfaces meant to be scrolled and read; dashboards, data grids, and multi-step wizards are handed off to a product-UI system rather than restyled.

High End Visual Design
leonxlnx
Spends its rules on the feel of expensive: how far a card lifts, how light falls across it, how long an easing runs, how much room a section is given. It varies the composition every time by design, and the things it bans are the ones that read as cheap, like blunt shadows and motion that snaps.

Should I use Design Taste Frontend or High End Visual Design?
The clearest answer is a situation each one is unambiguously right for. Both of these are drawn from the game's question bank.
Reach for Design Taste Frontend when
The direction for the studio's new site was agreed weeks ago and written down: editorial, warm greys, a serif display face, almost no motion. Someone now has to build the thing - hero, work grid, about, contact, one long scroll.The deciding is done, which removes both skills that decide: frontend-design settles look and feel before the build, and design-consultation proposes a whole system from scratch. What is left is the build, on exactly the surface design-taste-frontend is scoped to - a portfolio site that has to hold a committed type and colour language instead of drifting back to the default. web-artifacts-builder also builds, but it is aimed at claude.ai artifacts with real state and routing, and this is one scrolling site.
Reach for High End Visual Design when
A new marketing site is going up for an AI product and the only brief is a competitor's page with the note that ours has to feel this expensive. The first pass came back tidy and internally consistent and the client called it cheap, pointing at flat cards, a menu that snapped open, and sections crowded up against each other.Every complaint is a quantity: how far a card lifts, how light falls on it, how long the menu takes to arrive, how much room a section is given. This is the option that spends its rules on exactly those, and blunt shadows and motion that snaps are among the things it bans by name. The most tempting wrong answer is design-taste-frontend, which also pushes a page off the templated default and would happily build this site - its trap is that its lever is the aesthetic read of the brief rather than a rulebook for depth and easing, so it can produce another tidy page that loses the same argument. minimalist-ui would make the flatness a rule instead of the problem. industrial-brutalist-ui commits hard, but to machinery, which is not what expensive means here.
What they have in common
Both are filed under Visual, the axis along which they collide. That shared ground is what makes an agent pick between them on description alone - and what makes it pick wrong.
