// Adapt designs to work across different screen sizes, devices, contexts, or platforms. Implements breakpoints, fluid layouts, and touch targets. Use when the user mentions responsive design, mobile layouts, breakpoints, viewport adaptation, or cross-device compatibility.
Review a feature and enhance it with purposeful animations, micro-interactions, and motion effects that improve usability and delight. Use when the user mentions adding animation, transitions, micro-interactions, motion design, hover effects, or making the UI feel more alive.
Improve layout, spacing, and visual rhythm. Fixes monotonous grids, inconsistent spacing, and weak visual hierarchy. Use when the user mentions layout feeling off, spacing issues, visual hierarchy, crowded UI, alignment problems, or wanting better composition.
Amplify safe or boring designs to make them more visually interesting and stimulating. Increases impact while maintaining usability. Use when the user says the design looks bland, generic, too safe, lacks personality, or wants more visual impact and character.
Improve unclear UX copy, error messages, microcopy, labels, and instructions to make interfaces easier to understand. Use when the user mentions confusing text, unclear labels, bad error messages, hard-to-follow instructions, or wanting better UX writing.
Add strategic color to features that are too monochromatic or lack visual interest, making interfaces more engaging and expressive. Use when the user mentions the design looking gray, dull, lacking warmth, needing more color, or wanting a more vibrant or expressive palette.
Add moments of joy, personality, and unexpected touches that make interfaces memorable and enjoyable to use. Elevates functional to delightful. Use when the user asks to add polish, personality, animations, micro-interactions, delight, or make an interface feel fun or memorable.

Adapt existing designs to work effectively across different contexts - different screen sizes, devices, platforms, or use cases.
Invoke /frontend-design — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-impeccable first. Additionally gather: target platforms/devices and usage contexts.
Understand what needs adaptation and why:
Identify the source context:
Understand target context:
Identify adaptation challenges:
CRITICAL: Adaptation is not just scaling - it's rethinking the experience for the new context.

Apply changes systematically:
Choose appropriate breakpoints:
clamp(): Fluid sizing between min and maxdisplay: none sparingly (still downloads)srcset, picture element)IMPORTANT: Test on real devices, not just browser DevTools. Device emulation is helpful but not perfect.
NEVER:
Test thoroughly across contexts:
Remember: You're a cross-platform design expert. Make experiences that feel native to each context while maintaining brand and functionality consistency. Adapt intentionally, test thoroughly.
