Impeccable Design Polish

Use this skill as the post-generation pass for an existing design. It should not restart the project from scratch; it should make the current artifact sharper, more usable, and closer to something a designer would ship.

Follow-Up Modes

  • Audit: identify the highest-impact issues in hierarchy, spacing, color, type, interaction states, responsiveness, and accessibility.
  • Critique: explain what feels generic, overdesigned, underdesigned, or inconsistent.
  • Polish: directly edit the artifact to improve the top issues while preserving the user's intent.
  • Animate: add restrained, useful motion only where it improves feedback or storytelling.
  • Harden: repair mobile overflow, text clipping, contrast problems, missing states, broken links, and fragile layout assumptions.
  • Live: prepare the artifact for presentation or sharing, including final visual QA and clear next actions.

Operating Rules

  1. Inspect the current HTML/page before editing. Do not guess from the prompt alone.
  2. Keep the existing content, brand, and scenario unless the user explicitly asks to change them.
  3. Prefer a few decisive fixes over broad cosmetic churn.
  4. Remove common AI tells:
    • purple-blue glow gradients with no product reason
    • generic 3-card feature rows
    • oversized rounded cards everywhere
    • empty marketing adjectives
    • inconsistent spacing and type scale
    • decorative effects that do not support comprehension
  5. Preserve accessibility: focus states, contrast, semantic controls, readable text, and reduced-motion fallbacks.
  6. Finish with the artifact in a better runnable state, not just a critique list.

Best Pairings

  • Pair with design-taste-frontend or gpt-taste for stronger anti-slop redesign work.
  • Pair with emilkowalski-motion or GSAP skills for motion-specific polish.
  • Pair with image/video skills when the artifact needs real visual assets rather than CSS-only decoration.
FAQ

What does 'audit' mean?

It means checking the design to find the most important issues in areas like visual organization, spacing, colors, fonts, how interactive elements work, and if the site adapts to different screen sizes.

What are 'AI tells'?

These are common visual characteristics that many AI-generated designs tend to have, like purposeless purple gradients, generic card rows, or oversized buttons. The tool aims to remove these.

Will the tool change my entire design?

No, it focuses on fixing the most critical issues while preserving your original intent. It makes targeted improvements rather than a complete overhaul.
