polish

polish is a skill for Claude Code from VoxTechnologies/transmute-framework. It costs 99 tokens per session (3,908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review and refinement pass for an application's visual interface before release. It checks the running app for issues with layout, text, spacing, motion, responsiveness, visibility, and contrast.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect and refine a frontend after implementation and quality checks, before deployment. It helps fix inconsistent spacing, missing hover states, typography issues, contrast problems, and responsive layout defects.
Why use it?
It helps turn an app that works but looks unfinished into a more consistent interface. It catches visual problems that functional tests may miss.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is mkdir -p ./plancasting/_audits/visual-polish.

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

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 26d 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.

Stage 6P: Visual Polish & UI Refinement

Why This Stage Exists

After Stage 5 implementation and Stage 6 quality passes, the product is functionally complete but often looks "functional rather than polished." Components work correctly but lack the visual refinement that distinguishes a production product from a prototype — inconsistent spacing, missing hover states, contrast issues, and generic typography. This stage transforms a functionally correct app into a visually distinctive product. It runs AFTER 6R (all mechanical issues fixed) and BEFORE deployment.

Analyze the RUNNING application's visual quality, identify UI issues (visibility, layout, typography, spacing, motion, responsiveness), and automatically refine the frontend to production-grade aesthetic quality. Lead a multi-agent visual polish project (teammates are Agent-tool subagents; see the pipeline agent's Execution Model).

Mutual Exclusivity: This stage (6P) and Stage 6P-R (Frontend Design Elevation) are alternatives — run exactly ONE, not both. If 6P has already been run and you want to switch to 6P-R, revert 6P changes first (git revert the 6P commit). See CLAUDE.md for details.

Relationship to frontend-design skill: If available, the frontend-design skill provides aesthetic guidance and design direction. Polish uses it for enhancement decisions but never replaces the project's existing design system. The lead invokes the skill and saves output; teammates read the saved output -- they do not invoke the skill themselves.

Category System Note: This stage uses DIFFERENT categories than 6V/6R. 6P categories: O (objective defects), E (enhancements), D (design elevation). 6V/6R categories: A/B (agent-fixable), C (human judgment). Do not confuse the two systems when reading 6V/6R reports.

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.
