SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Interfaces often feel flat, cramped, or unfinished because of small design-engineering details like mismatched border radii, awkward text wrapping, abrupt transitions, and tiny hit areas. This Skill provides a concrete checklist and code patterns to systematically fix those polish issues. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Visual Refinement Rules: Apply concentric border radius math, optical icon alignment, layered shadows, and neutral image outlines for coherent surfaces. - Typography & Motion Guidance: Use text-wrap balance/pretty, tabular numerals for dynamic numbers, font smoothing, and scoped CSS transitions with split enter/exit animations. - Structured Review Output: Produce before/after tables mapping each principle to concrete changes, plus a final checklist covering hit areas, transition scope, and interaction states. - Use Case: When a user says a dashboard or card layout feels generic or jumpy, run a polish pass that fixes radius nesting, replaces transition: all with explicit properties, and adds tactile press states to buttons. ## Quick Start Review my UI components and apply interface polish improvements to spacing, typography, shadows, and transitions.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make my UI feel more polished?▼

Apply small compounding fixes: use concentric border radius on nested surfaces, balance heading text wrapping, add subtle layered shadows, scope transitions to specific properties, and ensure controls have at least 40x40px hit areas.

How to fix awkward text wrapping in headings with CSS?▼

Use text-wrap: balance on headings and short titles, and text-wrap: pretty on short body text and captions. Avoid both on long prose, code, or preformatted content where they can harm readability.

Why should I avoid transition: all in CSS?▼

transition: all animates every property change, causing unintended motion and performance cost. Instead, list explicit properties like transform, background-color, and box-shadow with a defined duration and easing function.

When should I use CSS transitions versus keyframe animations?▼

Use transitions for interactive state changes because they can retarget mid-motion when the user changes intent. Reserve keyframes for staged one-shot entrances or loading sequences that play once.

How do I stop numbers from shifting layout as they update?▼

Apply font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums to counters, timers, prices, and tables. Tabular numerals give each digit equal width so updating values do not cause horizontal jitter.
