SKILL.md

Amplify safe or generic designs with intentional drama, distinctive choices, and visual confidence while maintaining usability.

Systematically increases impact across typography, color, spatial composition, motion, and visual effects to create memorable experiences

Guides away from AI design clichés (cyan gradients, glassmorphism, neon accents) toward distinctive, purposeful amplification

Requires design context analysis first—assesses brand personality, purpose, audience, and constraints before proposing changes

Emphasizes hierarchy contrast, focal points, and asymmetric layouts to make important elements command attention without sacrificing readability or accessibility

Increase visual impact and personality in designs that are too safe, generic, or visually underwhelming, creating more engaging and memorable experiences.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Invoke /impeccable — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /impeccable teach first.

Assess Current State

Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:

Identify weakness sources:

Generic choices: System fonts, basic colors, standard layouts

Timid scale: Everything is medium-sized with no drama

Low contrast: Everything has similar visual weight

Static: No motion, no energy, no life

Predictable: Standard patterns with no surprises

Flat hierarchy: Nothing stands out or commands attention
