delight
Context: this sub-skill is one lens of the broader ui-craft skill. If the ui-craft skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.
Add delight to the UI at the target the user described. Load the ui-craft skill.
Delight is specificity, not decoration. The goal is one or two moments a user would screenshot — not confetti, not bounce, not emoji.
Candidates, ordered by safety (start at the top):
- Copy specificity — confirmation toasts name the thing ("3 members invited — Alex, Sam, Jordan", not "Invites sent"). Empty states with wit but no cringe ("Nothing here yet — add your first project" > "Oops! Looks like it's empty 😅").
- Hover choreography — multi-property hover (transform + color + shadow) that moves together on one shared duration/easing. One card, not every card.
- State transitions — optimistic UI + tiny success micro-animation (checkmark stroke draw, count-up on a number, subtle scale-and-settle on the updated row).
- One signature detail — custom list markers tied to the domain, asymmetric column offset on a single section, scroll-linked progress that tracks something real (reading progress, form completion).
