Remove unnecessary complexity from designs, revealing the essential elements and creating clarity through ruthless simplification.

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 complex or cluttered:

Identify complexity sources:

Too many elements: Competing buttons, redundant information, visual clutter

Excessive variation: Too many colors, fonts, sizes, styles without purpose

Information overload: Everything visible at once, no progressive disclosure

Visual noise: Unnecessary borders, shadows, backgrounds, decorations

Confusing hierarchy: Unclear what matters most

Feature creep: Too many options, actions, or paths forward
