I built an open-source skill that stops AI from making every design look the same
Every AI-generated website looks the same. Centered hero. Purple gradient. Three feature cards.
The reason isn't bad taste. AI agents fill gaps in a brief with the average of their training data. If you don't define what "not average" means for your project, you get the mean.
So I built Intent Interrogator, a free skill that works across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and any agent that reads the Agent Skills standard.
It does three things:
Interrogates - asks 4 questions before writing any code: → What should someone feel in the first 3 seconds? → Who specifically is this for? → What's the one constraint I must respect? → What should this definitely not look like?
Persists - saves the brief to a .intent/ file inside your project. New chat, new week, new agent, the intent is still there.
Verifies - before declaring the work done, it compares what it built against what you asked for, and produces an Intent Receipt showing where it matched and where it drifted.
That last part is the piece I haven't seen anywhere else.
You don't need to code to use it. You just answer four questions.
Free forever. Feedback welcome.

The point about agents filling gaps with the average is spot on. Forcing the brief to say what not to do probably helps more than any style prompt.

The brief gap point is the real one. Give an agent three reference sites and a hard rule like no centered hero, and the output changes more than any prompt tweak.
