adapt
Rethink designs for different screens, devices, and contexts while maintaining consistency.
- Assess source and target contexts (device type, input method, screen size, connection speed, usage patterns) to identify what won't fit or work across platforms
- Apply context-specific strategies: single-column layouts and touch targets for mobile, two-column hybrid layouts for tablet, multi-column and hover states for desktop, narrow widths and inline CSS for email
- Use responsive techniques including CSS Grid/Flexbox, media queries, container queries, and
clamp()for fluid sizing; increase touch targets to 44x44px minimum and remove hover dependencies on touch devices - Test on real devices across orientations, browsers, and input methods rather than relying solely on browser emulation
Adapt existing designs to work effectively across different contexts - different screen sizes, devices, platforms, or use cases.
MANDATORY PREPARATION
Invoke /impeccable — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /impeccable teach first. Additionally gather: target platforms/devices and usage contexts.
Assess Adaptation Challenge
Understand what needs adaptation and why:
-
Identify the source context:
- What was it designed for originally? (Desktop web? Mobile app?)
- What assumptions were made? (Large screen? Mouse input? Fast connection?)
- What works well in current context?
-
Understand target context:
- Device: Mobile, tablet, desktop, TV, watch, print?

Performs a final quality pass fixing alignment, spacing, consistency, and micro-detail issues before shipping. Use when the user mentions polish, finishing touches, pre-launch review, something looks off, or wants to go from good to great.
85.5Kcritique
Evaluate design from a UX perspective, assessing visual hierarchy, information architecture, emotional resonance, cognitive load, and overall quality with quantitative scoring, persona-based testing, automated anti-pattern detection, and actionable feedback. Use when the user asks to review, critique, evaluate, or give feedback on a design or component.
83.0Kimpeccable
Use when the user wants to design, redesign, shape, critique, audit, polish, clarify, distill, harden, optimize, adapt, animate, colorize, extract, or otherwise improve a frontend interface. Covers websites, landing pages, dashboards, product UI, app shells, components, forms, settings, onboarding, and empty states. Handles UX review, visual hierarchy, information architecture, cognitive load, accessibility, performance, responsive behavior, theming, anti-patterns, typography, fonts, spacing, layout, alignment, color, motion, micro-interactions, UX copy, error states, edge cases, i18n, and reusable design systems or tokens. Also use for bland designs that need to become bolder or more delightful, loud designs that should become quieter, live browser iteration on UI elements, or ambitious visual effects that should feel technically extraordinary. Not for backend-only or non-UI tasks.
82.7Kaudit
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 an accessibility check, performance audit, or technical quality review.
82.2Kanimate
Review a feature and enhance it with purposeful animations, micro-interactions, and motion effects that improve usability and delight. Use when the user mentions adding animation, transitions, micro-interactions, motion design, hover effects, or making the UI feel more alive.
82.1Kclarify
