Redesign Skill
How This Works
When applied to an existing project, follow this sequence:
- Scan — Read the codebase. Identify the framework, styling method (Tailwind, vanilla CSS, styled-components, etc.), and current design patterns.
- Diagnose — Run through the audit below. List every generic pattern, weak point, and missing state you find.
- Fix — Apply targeted upgrades working with the existing stack. Do not rewrite from scratch. Improve what's there.
Design Audit
Typography
Check for these problems and fix them:
- Browser default fonts or Inter everywhere. Replace with a font that has character. Good options:
Geist,Outfit,Cabinet Grotesk,Satoshi. For editorial/creative projects, pair a serif header with a sans-serif body. - Headlines lack presence. Increase size for display text, tighten letter-spacing, reduce line-height. Headlines should feel heavy and intentional.
- Body text too wide. Limit paragraph width to roughly 65 characters. Increase line-height for readability.
