What this skill does
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.
