Anti-Slop UI

"Slop" is design produced by default rather than by decision: the gradients, glass panels, pill badges, stat cards, centered cards, and "Unlock your potential" copy that appear when a model (or a hurried person) reaches for what usually appears in interfaces instead of what this product needs.

This skill judges justification, not aesthetics by category. A glass surface, bento layout, generous whitespace, gradient, or pill can be excellent in the right context. The failure is using one without a job.

1. Read references/_shared/experience-core.md.
2. Read references/_shared/experience-operating-contract.md; its significance, render, and evidence rules are mandatory for pre-ship work.
3. Read references/_shared/model-instincts.md. Most slop comes from those reflexes (whitespace → premium, cards → organized, empty page → add filler, simple input → make it special).
