SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill fixes interfaces that feel monotonous, crowded, or structurally weak by improving layout spacing, visual rhythm, and hierarchy so the important content stands out.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layout assessment: Evaluates spacing consistency, visual hierarchy using a squint test, grid/structure clarity, rhythm/variety, and density fit for the content type.
  • Systematic layout improvement: Establishes a spacing system, strengthens grouping via proximity, and selects the right layout tool (Flexbox for 1D, Grid for 2D) to avoid mismatched patterns.
  • Monotony breakers: Improves repeated card grids by varying sizes/spans and mixing cards with non-card content to create intentional visual composition.
  • Hierarchy and layering guidance: Reinforces hierarchy with whitespace/weight, and defines semantic z-index and elevation/shadow scales to support depth properly.

Quick Start

Improve the layout spacing and hierarchy of the current feature or component by asking the arrange skill to fix its layout and visual rhythm for better readability.
