# Quality Standards for All Skills

This document defines the universal quality standards that apply to ALL skills and outputs.

## Core Principles

1. **Professional Quality**: Every output should be production-ready, not a prototype or demo
2. **Modern Design**: Use current best practices, modern patterns, and contemporary aesthetics
3. **Attention to Detail**: Pay attention to spacing, typography, colors, and visual hierarchy
4. **User Experience**: Consider usability, accessibility, and user delight
5. **Completeness**: Deliver fully functional, polished results

## Universal Quality Checklist

## What to AVOID

- ❌ Basic, minimal designs that look like beginner work

## Skill-Specific Standards

Each skill (pdf, pptx, frontend-design, etc.) has its own SKILL.md file with detailed, domain-specific quality standards. Always refer to the activated skill's guidelines for specific requirements.

## Remember

Quality is not optional. Users expect professional, polished results. When in doubt, aim higher.
