Use for UI design and implementation work to avoid generic AI-looking interfaces. Provides anti-slop rules, a required discovery phase before coding, and guidance for layout, typography, color, motion, accessibility, dashboards, tables, landing pages, theming, and polish. Trigger when editing UI code or reviewing and refining components, pages, screens, layouts, animations, responsive behavior, or design systems.
Front door. Reads the current project (framework, tokens, brief, spec, harness) and reports what ui-craft can do right now, then routes you to the right next step. Run this first if you're new or unsure where to begin. No code changes. Invoke when the user asks for start on their UI, or mentions 'start' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Full spec-driven pipeline — walks brief → tokens → shape (spec) → craft (build) → converge → ship in one guided run. Writes `.ui-craft/spec.md`. Run when starting a net-new surface from scratch. Invoke when the user asks for sddesign on their UI, or mentions 'sddesign' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Add or fix motion. Honors MOTION_INTENSITY and loads the stack reference if opted in. Invoke when the user asks for animate on their UI, or mentions 'animate' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
UX critique — hierarchy, clarity, anti-slop. No code changes unless asked. Invoke when the user asks for critique on their UI, or mentions 'critique' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Technical UI audit — a11y, performance, responsive. Produces a prioritized findings table. Invoke when the user asks for audit on their UI, or mentions 'audit' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Pre-ship gate — runs detector, verifies brief and tokens, applies the 10-pass finish bar, ranks findings by feedback hierarchy. Invoke when the user asks for finalize on their UI, or mentions 'finalize' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Production-readiness pass — audits and implements the full non-happy-path matrix: loading skeletons, empty states, error messages, partial data, i18n, offline, permissions, and first-run guidance. Use when preparing a surface for production or when the user says "it crashes on empty data" / "there's no loading state" / "harden this". Invoke when the user asks for harden on their UI, or mentions 'harden' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Amplify personality — raises layout variance and motion, strengthens typography and one signature detail, without slop. Use when the UI works but feels safe, flat, or "template-y", or when the user says "bolder", "more personality", "more creative", or "make it pop" (still professional). Invoke when the user asks for bolder on their UI, or mentions 'bolder' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Tone down visual noise — lowers variance and motion, simplifies layout and color weight, keeps hierarchy clear. Use when the UI feels loud, busy, or over-designed, or when the user says "quieter", "more restrained", "simpler", or "tone it down". Invoke when the user asks for quieter on their UI, or mentions 'quieter' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
Delight pass — adds one or two memorable micro-interactions (copy specificity, hover choreography, state transitions, one signature detail) without decoration or confetti. Use when the UI works but feels generic, or when the user says "make it feel special" / "add some personality". Invoke when the user asks for delight on their UI, or mentions 'delight' alongside design / UI / frontend work.
