Increase visual impact and personality in designs that are too safe, generic, or visually underwhelming, creating more engaging and memorable experiences.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Users start this workflow with /bolder. 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 State

Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:

Identify weakness sources:
- Generic choices: System fonts, basic colors, standard layouts
- Timid scale: Everything is medium-sized with no drama
- Low contrast: Everything has similar visual weight
- Static: No motion, no energy, no life
- Predictable: Standard patterns with no surprises
- Flat hierarchy: Nothing stands out or commands attention
