What problem does it solve?
Distill eliminates unnecessary complexity from interfaces and designs so users can focus on the single primary goal; it reduces visual noise, redundant options, and confusing hierarchies that slow task completion and increase cognitive load.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Assess complexity sources: Identify too many elements, excessive variation, information overload, visual noise, unclear hierarchy, and feature creep.
- Plan and apply simplification: Define the core purpose, essential elements, progressive disclosure points, and consolidation opportunities.
- Multi-dimensional simplification: Tackle information architecture, visual design, layout, interaction flow, content, and code cleanup while preserving accessibility and necessary functionality.
- Verification and documentation: Measure faster task completion, reduced cognitive load, preserved feature access, and document removed complexity with rationale.
- Use Case: Convert a crowded dashboard into a focused task flow by removing redundant widgets, consolidating actions, and proposing a single primary CTA.
Quick Start
Use the distill skill to simplify the interface by removing nonessential elements and proposing a focused, accessible layout.
