impeccable-design-polish is a Claude agent skill that audits, critiques, polishes, animates, and hardens existing HTML web pages for developers who need to remove AI-generated UI slop before live deployment.
About
impeccable-design-polish is a follow-up design skill from nexu-io/open-design inspired by pbakaus/impeccable for post-generation HTML artifacts. It runs six modes—Audit, Critique, Polish, Animate, Harden, and Live—inspecting the current page before editing, preserving user intent, and removing common AI tells like purple-blue glow gradients, generic three-card rows, and inconsistent spacing. The skill requires a design system context and craft coverage for typography, color, anti-ai-slop, animation discipline, and accessibility baselines. Developers invoke impeccable-design-polish after a web or HTML artifact exists when triggers like design polish, anti ai polish, harden ui, or live review appear. With 700 installs on skills.sh, impeccable-design-polish delivers decisive visual fixes, focus states, contrast repairs, and restrained motion rather than broad cosmetic churn or restart-from-scratch redesigns.

Impeccable Design Polish
Use this skill as the post-generation pass for an existing design. It should not restart the project from scratch; it should make the current artifact sharper, more usable, and closer to something a designer would ship.
Follow-Up Modes
- Audit: identify the highest-impact issues in hierarchy, spacing, color, type, interaction states, responsiveness, and accessibility.
- Critique: explain what feels generic, overdesigned, underdesigned, or inconsistent.
- Polish: directly edit the artifact to improve the top issues while preserving the user's intent.
- Animate: add restrained, useful motion only where it improves feedback or storytelling.
- Harden: repair mobile overflow, text clipping, contrast problems, missing states, broken links, and fragile layout assumptions.
- Live: prepare the artifact for presentation or sharing, including final visual QA and clear next actions.
Operating Rules
1. Inspect the current HTML/page before editing. Do not guess from the prompt alone. 2. Keep the existing content, brand, and scenario unless the user explicitly asks to change them. 3. Prefer a few decisive fixes over broad cosmetic churn. 4. Remove common AI tells:
- purple-blue glow gradients with no product reason
- generic 3-card feature rows
- oversized rounded cards everywhere
- empty marketing adjectives
- inconsistent spacing and type scale
- decorative effects that do not support comprehension
5. Preserve accessibility: focus states, contrast, semantic controls, readable text, and reduced-motion fallbacks. 6. Finish with the artifact in a better runnable state, not just a critique list.
