arrange
Assess and improve layout and spacing that feels monotonous, crowded, or structurally weak — turning generic arrangements into intentional, rhythmic compositions.
Use this when the problem is mainly spatial composition. If the bigger issue is unclear priority, competing emphasis, loud section titles, or label/value weighting, use hierarchy.
MANDATORY PREPARATION
Users start this workflow with /arrange. Once this skill is active, load $frontend-design — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow that protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST load $setup first.
Assess Current Layout
Analyze what's weak about the current spatial design:
- Spacing:
- Is spacing consistent or arbitrary? (Random padding/margin values)
- Is all spacing the same? (Equal padding everywhere = no rhythm)
- Are related elements grouped tightly, with generous space between groups?
- Is there more space around groups than within groups? If not, the grouping may feel ambiguous.

critique
Evaluate an interface from a UX perspective, assessing hierarchy, information architecture, emotional resonance, cognitive load, and overall quality with quantitative scoring and actionable feedback. Use when the user wants an overall design or UX review—not when the main need is measurable accessibility/performance diagnosis, or final micro-detail polish.
32polish
Perform a final quality pass fixing alignment, spacing, consistency, and micro-detail issues before shipping. Use when the work is functionally complete and needs finishing touches—not when the hierarchy, structure, tone, or technical foundation still need major changes.
32frontend-design
Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with strong hierarchy, thoughtful systems, and polished implementation that avoid generic AI aesthetics. Use when the user wants to build or redesign web pages, flows, components, or full app surfaces, or when another better-web-ui skill needs shared project design context before other better-web-ui skills.
31empty-state
Design focused empty states for zero-data, no-results, permission, and error situations with clear value framing, strong CTAs, and less dead chrome. Use when the user mentions blank pages, zero-data screens, no results, permission states, or dead controls—not broader onboarding strategy.
30normalize
Audit and realign UI to match design system standards, spacing, tokens, and patterns. Use when the user mentions consistency, design drift, mismatched styles, tokens, or wants to bring a feature back in line with the system.
30colorize
Build or refine UI color systems, warmth, semantic color, and color-based hierarchy in designs that are too gray, monochromatic, or missing color meaning. Use when the user mentions dull colors, gray UI, missing warmth, weak semantic color, or a need for stronger color hierarchy.
