bolder

Skill441 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub

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.

    layout

    Improve layout, spacing, and visual rhythm. Fixes monotonous grids, inconsistent spacing, and weak visual hierarchy. Use when the user mentions layout feeling off, spacing issues, visual hierarchy, crowded UI, alignment problems, or wanting better composition.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 33 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Knob gating: if already at variance ≥9 or MOTION ≥9, strengthen signature and typography instead of pushing further.

    line 25

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 33 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Context: this sub-skill is one lens of the broader ui-craft skill. If the ui-craft skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Make the UI at $ARGUMENTS bolder. Load the ui-craft skill and read references/craft-intent.md.

This is amplitude, not decoration. Increase editorial confidence while staying anti-slop clean.

Apply in order (edit code directly):

  1. Declare an updated Craft Read — one line: what changed (variance, motion, signature).
  2. Raise DESIGN_VARIANCE by +1–2 (cap 10). Product surfaces: asymmetric offset, stronger metric hierarchy, or display moment in shell. Marketing: stronger hero composition, section rhythm break, or typographic scale — per references/craft-intent.md variance table.
  3. Raise MOTION_INTENSITY by +1 (cap 10) if below 8 — add one purposeful entrance or hover choreography on the focal element only. Honor prefers-reduced-motion.
  4. Typography — increase display weight or size one step; tighten tracking on headlines; ensure numbers stay tabular-nums.
  5. Accent — strengthen focal accent placement (within 3–5 viewport budget); tint primary card or CTA — never add a second accent hue.
  6. Signature — add or strengthen the one signature bet if missing or weak (see craft-intent §3).

Never add: purple-cyan gradients, bounce easing, glassmorphism stacks, emoji, ALL CAPS headings, three equal icon-card grids, confetti.

Knob gating: if already at variance ≥9 or MOTION ≥9, strengthen signature and typography instead of pushing further.

Output: edit code. Print Review Format table. End with the updated Craft Read line.

Next step: /critique — confirm the added personality did not cost hierarchy or become slop (rung 1).
