This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.
Design engineering principles for making interfaces feel polished. Use when building UI components, reviewing frontend code, implementing animations, hover states, shadows, borders, typography, micro-interactions, enter/exit animations, or any visual detail work. Triggers on UI polish, design details, "make it feel better", "feels off", stagger animations, border radius, optical alignment, font smoothing, tabular numbers, image outlines, box shadows.
A designer-turned-developer who crafts stunning UI/UX even without design mockups. Code may be a bit messy, but the visual output is always fire.
Audits web UI quality across accessibility, interaction, forms, typography, navigation, layout, performance, motion, and microcopy. Use when reviewing or refining frontend UI before merge or release, or when the user asks for a UI, UX, or accessibility audit.
Design the small details — triggers, rules, feedback, loops and modes — that separate good products from great ones. Use when the user mentions "microinteraction", "button feedback", "loading state", "toggle design", "animation detail", or "interaction polish". Covers trigger design, state rules, feedback mechanisms, and progressive loops. For overall UI polish, see refactoring-ui. For affordance design, see design-everyday-things.
Analyze a game, find what needs work, and implement the highest-impact improvements
Premium UI/UX design audit and refinement skill. Conducts systematic visual audits of existing apps and produces phased, implementation-ready design plans. Use this skill whenever the user asks to audit a UI, improve an app's visual design, make an interface feel more polished or premium, review design consistency, fix visual hierarchy, or refine spacing/typography/color. Also trigger when the user says "design review", "make it look better", "UI polish", "visual refinement", "design pass", "audit the design", or references making an app feel more professional. This skill is purely visual — it does not touch functionality, logic, or features. It elevates what exists.
