TASTE_ENGINE // ARCHETYPE #07: MINIMALISM & DATA COCKPITS
CANONICAL AESTHETIC SYSTEM ZERO AI-SLOP VERIFIED WCAG AA CONTRAST COUPLED

PURPOSEFUL RESTRAINT MEETS OPERATIONAL DATA DENSITY.

The seamless fusion of Dieter Rams intentional negative space and modern high-density cloud cockpits (Linear, Stripe, Vercel). Eliminates nested card clutter and decorative slop in favor of hairline divider rules, scannable tabular numbers, and instant keyboard productivity.

COMPONENT ANATOMY & RESTRICTIONS

Clean, hairline-bordered primitives with zero unnecessary shadow elevation and calibrated contrast.

Restrained Action Controls
Zero blur noise, high-contrast states, and visible focus rings.
Auto-Recovery Daemon
Automatically restart degraded pods
Semantic Status Tokens (WCAG AA)
Explicit operational denominators, never decorative vanity cards.
Core Authentication Gateway Healthy
Telemetry Collector Ingestion Degraded (Rate Limited)
Legacy Webhook Dispatcher Failed (Connection Timeout)
Every status token maintains at least 4.5:1 text-to-surface contrast across both dark and light modes with explicit indicator dots enforcing aspect-ratio: 1 / 1.
Token Matrix (Minimalism & Enterprise)
Exact CSS variable mappings for theme coupling and scaffolding.

PRODUCTION BLUEPRINTS

Battle-tested layout archetypes utilizing the merged minimalism & enterprise design system.

Pattern 01 // Operations

Cloud Infrastructure Cockpit

Designed for devops, site reliability engineers, and telemetry monitors where seconds matter and visual noise is fatal.

  • 32px high-density table rows
  • Flush-right tabular numerals
  • Floating batch remediation dock
  • Keyboard filter shortcuts (⌘K)
Pattern 02 // Developer Tools

API Documentation & Hub

Mathematical negative space, high-contrast code snippets, and quiet navigation headers for developer productivity.

  • Pure sans typographic scale
  • Hairline split viewports
  • Zero decorative badge clutter
  • JetBrains Mono code blocks
Pattern 03 // Fintech

Institutional Audit Ledger

Strict decimal point alignment, immutable record status pills, and truthful empty/loading states.

  • Tabular currency alignment
  • WCAG AA compliance audit
  • Master-detail lateral drawer
  • Deterministic audit logs

INSTALLATION & AGENT INTEGRATION

Choose between the dedicated standalone Minimalism skill, the full 10-style autonomous Taste Engine suite, or Tailwind/shadcn presets.

Option A: Dedicated Minimalism Style Skill

Installs only the unified Minimalism & Data Cockpit skill pack. Ideal if your project has already committed to this aesthetic and does not need the dynamic multi-style router.

bash — agent skills cli
# Install standalone Minimalism pack via universal Agent Skills CLI:
$npx skills add kennedys0/taste-engine --skill taste-style-minimalism
# Or copy directly into your Google Antigravity IDE global skills folder:
$git clone https://github.com/kennedys0/taste-engine.git && cp -r taste-engine/optional-standalone-skills/taste-style-minimalism ~/.gemini/config/skills/

Option B: Full Taste Engine (All 10 Styles + Router + SEO)

Equips your AI agent with the complete design system intelligence, automated style router, preflight interviews, anti-slop audits, and conditional SEO readiness.

bash — multi-agent native installer
# Universal Agent Skills CLI (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity):
$npx skills add kennedys0/taste-engine --skill taste-engine
# Or run native zero-dependency CLI installer for all project agents:
$node bin/taste-engine.mjs install --agent all --project
# Or install globally for Google Antigravity IDE / CLI (agy):
$node bin/taste-engine.mjs install --agent antigravity --global

Option C: Tailwind CSS & shadcn/ui Presets

Scaffold official design tokens, paired color variables, and component presets directly into your frontend repository.

bash — scaffolding cli
# Scaffold presets directly into your repository:
$taste-engine init
// Or import directly into tailwind.config.js:
module.exports = {
  presets: [require('@kennedys0/taste-engine/presets/tailwind/tailwind.preset.js')],
};
