Make interfaces production-ready: error handling, empty states, onboarding flows, i18n, text overflow, and edge case management. Use when the user asks to harden, make production-ready, handle edge cases, add error states, design empty states, improve onboarding, or fix overflow and i18n issues.
Build high-quality image generation and edit prompts from user intent using prompt structures proven across prompts.chat examples and OpenAI image prompting guidance.
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.
Run technical quality checks across accessibility, performance, theming, responsive design, and anti-patterns. Generates a scored report with P0-P3 severity ratings and actionable plan. Use when the user wants an accessibility check, performance audit, or technical quality review.
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.

Increase visual impact and personality in designs that are too safe, generic, or visually underwhelming, creating more engaging and memorable experiences.
Load the impeccable skill first — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow that protocol before proceeding. If design context is still missing, run the teach flow inside impeccable before continuing.
Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:
Identify weakness sources:
Understand the context:
If any of these are unclear from the codebase, STOP and call the question tool to clarify.
CRITICAL: "Bolder" doesn't mean chaotic or garish. It means distinctive, memorable, and confident. Think intentional drama, not random chaos.
WARNING - AI SLOP TRAP: When making things "bolder," AI defaults to the same tired tricks: cyan/purple gradients, glassmorphism, neon accents on dark backgrounds, gradient text on metrics. These are the OPPOSITE of bold—they're generic. Review ALL the DON'T guidelines in the impeccable skill before proceeding. Bold means distinctive, not "more effects."
Create a strategy to increase impact while maintaining coherence:
IMPORTANT: Bold design must still be usable. Impact without function is just decoration.
Systematically increase impact across these dimensions:
NEVER:
Ensure amplification maintains usability and coherence:
The test: If you showed this to someone and said "AI made this bolder," would they believe you immediately? If yes, you've failed. Bold means distinctive, not "more AI effects."
Remember: Bold design is confident design. It takes risks, makes statements, and creates memorable experiences. But bold without strategy is just loud. Be intentional, be dramatic, be unforgettable.
