Been improving my app's UI with Claude and found the thing that actually moves the needle. Frontend skill + Claude on its own gets you functional but generic. The jump happens when you feed it real references. I pull a few screens from Dribbble and other pro work, drop them in, and the output goes from "fine" to something I'd actually ship. The model isn't the bottleneck. Your taste input is. Most people skip the reference step and blame the tool. Before and after below.
