A design workflow for refining interface details such as surfaces, icons, spacing, interaction states and animation. It is intended for screens and components that already work but need more precise visual and motion treatment.

Use it when building or reviewing buttons, cards, modals, tabs, toasts, skeletons and icons, or when checking hover states, transitions, icon changes and motion performance.

It addresses interfaces that feel unfinished or inconsistent without changing their basic layout or accessibility work. It gives concrete design-engineering guidance instead of broad aesthetic advice.

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 5.1	$0.00099	$0.03715
Opus 5.5	$0.00040	$0.01486
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00743
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00371

Security

Grade A, and why

ui-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 12d 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.

UI Polish & Motion Craft

This skill holds the design-engineering details that separate "assembled by an AI" from "crafted by a design engineer" — with exact values, not vague advice. Apply it when building components or running a refinement/deslop pass once the underlying layout and accessibility are sound.

For aesthetic direction and page macrostructure, see frontend-design; for data-dense layouts, see dashboard-ui; for WCAG accessibility, forms, and copy, see ux-quality; for token architecture, see design-tokens; for text setting, see typography.

When to use

Building or reviewing UI components (buttons, cards, modals, popovers, tabs, toasts, icons, skeletons).
Refining or "deslopping" an existing screen that works functionally but feels unfinished, generic, or slightly off.
Implementing or auditing hover/press states, enter/exit transitions, icon swaps, stagger reveals, or motion performance.

1. Surfaces, depth & optical alignment

Concentric border radius: Where nested surfaces share an even inset (up to 24px padding), set outerRadius = innerRadius + padding (plus border width). Never give a padded parent and child the exact same rounded-* class. Past 24px padding, treat them as separate surfaces.
Optical alignment over geometry: Give a button with a leading/trailing icon 2px less padding on the icon side; nudge play triangles 1–2px toward their point; use text-box: trim-both cap alphabetic as progressive enhancement to center text vertically in tight pills and badges.
Shadows for elevation, borders for structure:
- In light mode, prefer layered transparent box-shadow for elevated cards and buttons (0 0 0 1px oklch(0 0 0 / 0.06), 0 1px 2px -1px oklch(0 0 0 / 0.06), 0 2px 4px oklch(0 0 0 / 0.04)).
- In dark mode, depth shadows disappear — elevate via whisper-quiet surface lightness steps (base → +7% → +9% → +12%) and a 1px ring (0 0 0 1px oklch(1 0 0 / 0.08)). Never use colored glow shadows on dark.
- Keep real 1px borders for dividers, table cells, and form inputs (which need ≥ 3:1 contrast). Put border: 1px solid transparent under shadow-only rings so forced-colors mode still draws an edge.
Neutral image outlines: Give content photos/screenshots a 1px inset outline in pure black/white: outline-1 -outline-offset-1 outline-black/10 dark:outline-white/10 (oklch(0 0 0 / 0.1) light, oklch(1 0 0 / 0.1) dark). Never use a tinted palette or accent border on images — it reads as a colored fringe. Skip transparent artwork such as logos and illustrations.
Theme browser surfaces: Style ::selection, caret-color, focus rings, meta[name="theme-color"], and <html style="color-scheme: dark"> (plus explicit background-color/color on native <option> for Windows dark mode) from your tokens. Unthemed browser defaults are an instant assembly tell.

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.
