Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00096 | $0.01417 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.00709 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00283 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00142 |
Grade A, and why
make-interfaces-feel-better 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 7d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to make-interfaces-feel-better — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Details that make interfaces feel better
Great interfaces rarely come from a single thing. It's usually a collection of small details that compound into a great experience. Apply these principles when building or reviewing UI code.
Quick Reference
| Category | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Typography | Text wrapping, font smoothing, tabular numbers |
| Surfaces | Border radius, optical alignment, shadows, image outlines, hit areas |
| Animations | Interruptible animations, enter/exit transitions, icon animations, scale on press |
| Performance | Transition specificity, will-change usage |
Core Principles
1. Concentric Border Radius
Outer radius = inner radius + padding. Mismatched radii on nested elements is the most common thing that makes interfaces feel off.
2. Optical Over Geometric Alignment
When geometric centering looks off, align optically. Buttons with icons, play triangles, and asymmetric icons all need manual adjustment.
3. Shadows Over Borders
Layer multiple transparent box-shadow values for natural depth. Shadows adapt to any background; solid borders don't.
4. Interruptible Animations
Use CSS transitions for interactive state changes — they can be interrupted mid-animation. Reserve keyframes for staged sequences that run once.
5. Split and Stagger Enter Animations
Don't animate a single container. Break content into semantic chunks and stagger each with ~100ms delay.
6. Subtle Exit Animations
Use a small fixed translateY instead of full height. Exits should be softer than enters.
7. Contextual Icon Animations
Animate icons with opacity, scale, and blur instead of toggling visibility. Use exactly these values: scale from 0.25 to 1, opacity from 0 to 1, blur from 4px to 0px. If the project has motion or framer-motion in package.json, use transition: { type: "spring", duration: 0.3, bounce: 0 } — bounce must always be 0. If no motion library is installed, keep both icons in the DOM (one absolute-positioned) and cross-fade with CSS transitions using cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1) — this gives both enter and exit animations without any dependency.
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.
