A final review process for improving a finished user interface. It checks details such as spacing, alignment, consistency, interaction states, error states, loading behavior, and responsive layouts.

Use it to review completed web pages or components for visual alignment, spacing, copy consistency, responsive behavior, and missing interface states.

It catches small visual and interaction problems that can remain after the main feature works. This helps make the interface more consistent before release.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00026	$0.01793
Opus 5	$0.00013	$0.00897
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00359
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00179

Security

Grade A, and why

polish 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 201 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

First: Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns.

Perform a meticulous final pass to catch all the small details that separate good work from great work. The difference between shipped and polished.

Pre-Polish Assessment

Understand the current state and goals:

Review completeness:
- Is it functionally complete?
- Are there known issues to preserve (mark with TODOs)?
- What's the quality bar? (MVP vs flagship feature?)
- When does it ship? (How much time for polish?)
Identify polish areas:
- Visual inconsistencies
- Spacing and alignment issues
- Interaction state gaps
- Copy inconsistencies
- Edge cases and error states
- Loading and transition smoothness

CRITICAL: Polish is the last step, not the first. Don't polish work that's not functionally complete.

Polish Systematically

Work through these dimensions methodically:

Visual Alignment & Spacing

Pixel-perfect alignment: Everything lines up to grid
Consistent spacing: All gaps use spacing scale (no random 13px gaps)
Optical alignment: Adjust for visual weight (icons may need offset for optical centering)
Responsive consistency: Spacing and alignment work at all breakpoints
Grid adherence: Elements snap to baseline grid

Check:

Enable grid overlay and verify alignment
Check spacing with browser inspector
Test at multiple viewport sizes
Look for elements that "feel" off

Typography Refinement

Hierarchy consistency: Same elements use same sizes/weights throughout
Line length: 45-75 characters for body text
Line height: Appropriate for font size and context
Widows & orphans: No single words on last line
Hyphenation: Appropriate for language and column width
Kerning: Adjust letter spacing where needed (especially headlines)
Font loading: No FOUT/FOIT flashes

Color & Contrast

Contrast ratios: All text meets WCAG standards
Consistent token usage: No hard-coded colors, all use design tokens
Theme consistency: Works in all theme variants
Color meaning: Same colors mean same things throughout
Accessible focus: Focus indicators visible with sufficient contrast
Tinted neutrals: No pure gray or pure black—add subtle color tint (0.01 chroma)
Gray on color: Never put gray text on colored backgrounds—use a shade of that color or transparency

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.

polish is a skill published in the GitHub repository childrentime/reactuse (1,048 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,793 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
