snr-emphasis-economy

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents emphasis inflation by helping you decide where to allocate finite visual attention (color, weight, size, and motion) so the user can reliably find the primary action and true status at a glance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Emphasis budgeting: Keeps a surface readable by limiting the number of highlighted cues and maintaining a quiet background.
• Contrast-first emphasis: Ensures emphasized elements stand out against non-emphasized UI rather than competing with other equally-emphasized elements.
• Role-based cue restraint: Restricts brand color, destructive/status colors, bold typography, and motion to the situations where they carry unique meaning.
• Practical UI audits: Detects and fixes common anti-patterns like “multiple primaries,” “status-everywhere syndrome,” and “animation inflation.”
• Worked guidance: Provides heuristics and a before/after example for economizing a noisy toolbar.

Quick Start

Apply snr-emphasis-economy to your current screen by selecting the single primary action per visible region and demoting everything else to outline/ghost/text-only.
