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

Inspect the current HTML/page before editing. Do not guess from the prompt alone.
Keep the existing content, brand, and scenario unless the user explicitly asks to change them.
Prefer a few decisive fixes over broad cosmetic churn.
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
Preserve accessibility: focus states, contrast, semantic controls, readable text, and reduced-motion fallbacks.
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.

Install impeccable-design-polish and it becomes one more candidate the router can pick - when it fits.

A listing is a routing target with a manifest: what it does, which domains it covers, what it costs and who publishes it. Once installed it sits beside your own models and tools, is scored like any other candidate for each request, and shows up in the trace when it wins. Ratings come from workspaces that installed it, one per account.
