bolder

A command that makes an existing user interface more expressive through stronger layout differences, typography, motion, and one distinctive visual detail while keeping it professional.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking for a bolder, more creative, or more memorable UI, with attention to reduced-motion settings and consistent accents.
Why use it?
It gives a safe, repeatable way to improve an interface that feels flat, generic, or too much like a template.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bolder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

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).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
