colorize
Strategically introduce color to designs that are too monochromatic, gray, or lacking in visual warmth and personality.
MANDATORY PREPARATION
Users start this workflow with /colorize. 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. Additionally gather: existing brand colors.
Assess Color Opportunity
Analyze the current state and identify opportunities:
- Understand current state:
- Color absence: Pure grayscale? Limited neutrals? One timid accent?
- Missed opportunities: Where could color add meaning, hierarchy, or delight?
- Context: What's appropriate for this domain and audience?
- Brand: Are there existing brand colors we should use?
- Temperature: Do the neutrals feel warm, cool, or accidentally lifeless?
- Hierarchy without color: If you mentally remove color, is the interface still clear?

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.
31polish
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.
31frontend-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.
30empty-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.
29normalize
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.
29audit
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 measurable accessibility, performance, responsive, theming, or anti-pattern findings—not when they mainly want an overall UX critique or final visual/detail polish.
