SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Polish existing interfaces to feel refined and intentional by tightening radii, shadows, typography, motion, and micro-interactions while preserving the design system.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Maps visual polish opportunities to concrete deltas aligned with design system tokens (typography, surfaces, animations, performance).
  • Produces non-invasive, before/after recommendations and guidance for UI components like cards, buttons, modals, and lists.
  • Works on existing interfaces with minimal disruption and no new dependencies; outputs actionable change requests for designers and engineers.

Quick Start

Inspect the target UI, identify polish gaps, and present concrete before/after deltas grouped by principle.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I polish existing UI components to feel more intentional?

Polish existing UI components by refining radii, shadows, typography, motion, and micro-interactions to align with your design system. The Skill maps visual gaps to concrete before/after deltas grouped by design principles, avoiding new dependencies.

What is the best way to improve hover states and focus outlines without breaking my design system?

Improve hover states and focus outlines by applying non-invasive refinements to micro-interactions that map directly to existing design system tokens. The Skill outputs actionable change requests for designers and engineers grouped by typography, surfaces, and animations.

Can I refine motion and typography on cards and modals without adding new dependencies?

You can refine motion and typography on cards and modals without adding new dependencies. The Skill works on existing interfaces with minimal disruption, mapping polish opportunities to performance and animation principles using your current stack.

How do I identify and fix UI polish gaps across multiple interface surfaces?

Identify and fix UI polish gaps by inspecting target surfaces like menus and lists, then presenting concrete before/after deltas grouped by principle. The Skill maps issues across typography, surfaces, and animations to produce actionable guidance.

Does this approach work for tightening shadows and radii on buttons and lists?

This approach works for tightening shadows and radii on buttons and lists by producing non-invasive before/after recommendations. It applies to existing components where polish gaps are perceived, aligning changes with design system tokens.

When should I not use automated UI polish refinements on my interfaces?

Avoid automated UI polish refinements when your interface lacks an established design system or when components require structural redesign rather than visual tightening. The Skill focuses on mapping surface, motion, and typography gaps to existing tokens, not introducing new patterns.
