Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-impeccable first.\n\n---\n\n## Assess Current State\n\nAnalyze what makes the design feel too intense:\n\n1. **Identify intensity sources**:\n   - **Color saturation**: Overly bright or saturated colors\n   - **Contrast extremes**: Too much high-contrast juxtaposition\n   - **Visual weight**: Too many bold, heavy elements competing\n   - **Animation excess**: Too much motion or overly dramatic effects\n   - **Complexity**: Too many visual elements, patterns, or decorations\n   - **Scale**: Everything is large and loud with no hierarchy\n\n2. **Understand the context**:\n   - What's the purpose? (Marketing vs tool vs reading experience)\n   - Who's the audience? (Some contexts need energy)\n   - What's working? (Don't throw away good ideas)\n   - What's the core message? (Preserve what matters)\n\nIf any of these are unclear from the codebase, ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer.\n\n**CRITICAL**: \"Quieter\" doesn't mean boring or generic. It means refined, sophisticated, and easier on the eyes. Think luxury, not laziness.\n\n## Plan Refinement\n\nCreate a strategy to reduce intensity while maintaining impact:\n\n- **Color approach**: Desaturate or shift to more sophisticated tones?\n- **Hierarchy approach**: Which elements should stay bold (very few), which should recede?\n- **Simplification approach**: What can be removed entirely?\n- **Sophistication approach**: How can we signal quality through restraint?\n\n**IMPORTANT**: Great quiet design is harder than great bold design. Subtlety requires precision.\n\n## Refine the Design\n\nSystematically reduce intensity across these dimensions:\n\n### Color Refinement\n- **Reduce saturation**: Shift from fully saturated to 70-85% saturation\n- **Soften palette**: Replace bright colors with muted, sophisticated tones\n- **Reduce color variety**: Use fewer colors more thoughtfully\n- **Neutral dominance**: Let neutrals do more work, use color as accent (10% rule)\n- **Gentler contrasts**: High contrast only where it matters most\n- **Tinted grays**: Use warm or cool tinted grays instead of pure gray—adds sophistication without loudness\n- **Never gray on color**: If you have gray text on a colored background, use a darker shade of that color or transparency instead\n\n### Visual Weight Reduction\n- **Typography**: Reduce font weights (900 → 600, 700 → 500), decrease sizes where appropriate\n- **Hierarchy through subtlety**: Use weight, size, and space instead of color and boldness\n- **White space**: Increase breathing room, reduce density\n- **Borders & lines**: Reduce thickness, decrease opacity, or remove entirely\n\n### Simplification\n- **Remove decorative elements**: Gradients, shadows, patterns, textures that don't serve purpose\n- **Simplify shapes**: Reduce border radius extremes, simplify custom shapes\n- **Reduce layering**: Flatten visual hierarchy where possible\n- **Clean up effects**: Reduce or remove blur effects, glows, multiple shadows\n\n### Motion Reduction\n- **Reduce animation intensity**: Shorter distances (10-20px instead of 40px), gentler easing\n- **Remove decorative animations**: Keep functional motion, remove flourishes\n- **Subtle micro-interactions**: Replace dramatic effects with gentle feedback\n- **Refined easing**: Use ease-out-quart for smooth, understated motion—never bounce or elastic\n- **Remove animations entirely** if they're not serving a clear purpose\n\n### Composition Refinement\n- **Reduce scale jumps**: Smaller contrast between sizes creates calmer feeling\n- **Align to grid**: Bring rogue elements back into systematic alignment\n- **Even out spacing**: Replace extreme spacing variations with consistent rhythm\n\n**NEVER**:\n- Make everything the same size/weight (hierarchy still matters)\n- Remove all color (quiet ≠ grayscale)\n- Eliminate all personality (maintain character through refinement)\n- Sacrifice usability for aesthetics (functional elements still need clear affordances)\n- Make everything small and light (some anchors needed)\n\n## Verify Quality\n\nEnsure refinement maintains quality:\n\n- **Still functional**: Can users still accomplish tasks easily?\n- **Still distinctive**: Does it have character, or is it generic now?\n- **Better reading**: Is text easier to read for extended periods?\n- **Sophistication**: Does it feel more refined and premium?\n\nRemember: Quiet design is confident design.

Use when the user mentions fonts, type, readability, text hierarchy, sizing looks off, or wants more polished, intentional typography.\n---\n\nAssess and improve typography that feels generic, inconsistent, or poorly structured — turning default-looking text into intentional, well-crafted type.\n\n## MANDATORY PREPARATION\n\nInvoke /frontend-design — 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 /teach-impeccable first.\n\n---\n\n## Assess Current Typography\n\nAnalyze what's weak or generic about the current type:\n\n1. **Font choices**:\n   - Are we using invisible defaults? (Inter, Roboto, Arial, Open Sans, system defaults)\n   - Does the font match the brand personality? (A playful brand shouldn't use a corporate typeface)\n   - Are there too many font families? (More than 2-3 is almost always a mess)\n\n2. **Hierarchy**:\n   - Can you tell headings from body from captions at a glance?\n   - Are font sizes too close together? (14px, 15px, 16px = muddy hierarchy)\n   - Are weight contrasts strong enough? (Medium vs Regular is barely visible)\n\n3. **Sizing & scale**:\n   - Is there a consistent type scale, or are sizes arbitrary?\n   - Does body text meet minimum readability? (16px+)\n   - Is the sizing strategy appropriate for the context? (Fixed `rem` scales for app UIs; fluid `clamp()` for marketing/content page headings)\n\n4. **Readability**:\n   - Are line lengths comfortable? (45-75 characters ideal)\n   - Is line-height appropriate for the font and context?\n   - Is there enough contrast between text and background?\n\n5. **Consistency**:\n   - Are the same elements styled the same way throughout?\n   - Are font weights used consistently? (Not bold in one section, semibold in another for the same role)\n   - Is letter-spacing intentional or default everywhere?\n\n**CRITICAL**: The goal isn't to make text \"fancier\" — it's to make it clearer, more readable, and more intentional. Good typography is invisible; bad typography is distracting.\n\n## Plan Typography Improvements\n\nConsult the [typography reference](reference/typography.md) from the frontend-design skill for detailed guidance on scales, pairing, and loading strategies.\n\nCreate a systematic plan:\n\n- **Font selection**: Do fonts need replacing? What fits the brand/context?\n- **Type scale**: Establish a modular scale (e.g., 1.25 ratio) with clear hierarchy\n- **Weight strategy**: Which weights serve which roles? (Regular for body, Semibold for labels, Bold for headings — or whatever fits)\n- **Spacing**: Line-heights, letter-spacing, and margins between typographic elements\n\n## Improve Typography Systematically\n\n### Font Selection\n\nIf fonts need replacing:\n- Choose fonts that reflect the brand personality\n- Pair with genuine contrast (serif + sans, geometric + humanist) — or use a single family in multiple weights\n- Ensure web font loading doesn't cause layout shift (`font-display: swap`, metric-matched fallbacks)\n\n### Establish Hierarchy\n\nBuild a clear type scale:\n- **5 sizes cover most needs**: caption, secondary, body, subheading, heading\n- **Use a consistent ratio** between levels (1.25, 1.333, or 1.5)\n- **Combine dimensions**: Size + weight + color + space for strong hierarchy — don't rely on size alone\n- **App UIs**: Use a fixed `rem`-based type scale, optionally adjusted at 1-2 breakpoints. Fluid sizing undermines the spatial predictability that dense, container-based layouts need\n- **Marketing / content pages**: Use fluid sizing via `clamp(min, preferred, max)` for headings and display text. Keep body text fixed\n\n### Fix Readability\n\n- Set `max-width` on text containers using `ch` units (`max-width: 65ch`)\n- Adjust line-height per context: tighter for headings (1.1-1.2), looser for body (1.5-1.7)\n- Increase line-height slightly for light-on-dark text\n- Ensure body text is at least 16px / 1rem\n\n### Refine Details\n\n- Use `tabular-nums` for data tables and numbers that should align\n- Apply proper `letter-spacing`: slightly open for small caps and uppercase, default or tight for large display text\n- Use semantic token names (`--text-body`, `--text-heading`), not value names (`--font-16`)\n- Set `font-kerning: normal` and consider OpenType features where appropriate\n\n### Weight Consistency\n\n- Define clear roles for each weight and stick to them\n- Don't use more than 3-4 weights (Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold is plenty)\n- Load only the weights you actually use (each weight adds to page load)\n\n**NEVER**:\n- Use more than 2-3 font families\n- Pick sizes arbitrarily — commit to a scale\n- Set body text below 16px\n- Use decorative/display fonts for body text\n- Disable browser zoom (`user-scalable=no`)\n- Use `px` for font sizes — use `rem` to respect user settings\n- Default to Inter/Roboto/Open Sans when personality matters\n- Pair fonts that are similar but not identical (two geometric sans-serifs)\n\n## Verify Typography Improvements\n\n- **Hierarchy**: Can you identify heading vs body vs caption instantly?\n- **Readability**: Is body text comfortable to read in long passages?\n- **Consistency**: Are same-role elements styled identically throughout?\n- **Personality**: Does the typography reflect the brand?\n- **Performance**: Are web fonts loading efficiently without layout shift?\n- **Accessibility**: Does text meet WCAG contrast ratios? Is it zoomable to 200%?\n\nRemember: Typography is the foundation of interface design — it carries the majority of information. Getting it right is the highest-leverage improvement you can make."}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1775941183747}}

Fixes monotonous grids, inconsistent spacing, and weak visual hierarchy. Use when the user mentions layout feeling off, spacing issues, visual hierarchy, crowded UI, alignment problems, or wanting better composition.\n---\n\nAssess and improve layout and spacing that feels monotonous, crowded, or structurally weak — turning generic arrangements into intentional, rhythmic compositions.\n\n## MANDATORY PREPARATION\n\nInvoke /frontend-design — 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 /teach-impeccable first.\n\n---\n\n## Assess Current Layout\n\nAnalyze what's weak about the current spatial design:\n\n1. **Spacing**:\n   - Is spacing consistent or arbitrary? (Random padding/margin values)\n   - Is all spacing the same? (Equal padding everywhere = no rhythm)\n   - Are related elements grouped tightly, with generous space between groups?\n\n2. **Visual hierarchy**:\n   - Apply the squint test: blur your (metaphorical) eyes — can you still identify the most important element, second most important, and clear groupings?\n   - Is hierarchy achieved effectively? (Space and weight alone can be enough — but is the current approach working?)\n   - Does whitespace guide the eye to what matters?\n\n3. **Grid & structure**:\n   - Is there a clear underlying structure, or does the layout feel random?\n   - Are identical card grids used everywhere? (Icon + heading + text, repeated endlessly)\n   - Is everything centered? (Left-aligned with asymmetric layouts feels more designed, but not a hard and fast rule)\n\n4. **Rhythm & variety**:\n   - Does the layout have visual rhythm? (Alternating tight/generous spacing)\n   - Is every section structured the same way? (Monotonous repetition)\n   - Are there intentional moments of surprise or emphasis?\n\n5. **Density**:\n   - Is the layout too cramped? (Not enough breathing room)\n   - Is the layout too sparse? (Excessive whitespace without purpose)\n   - Does density match the content type? (Data-dense UIs need tighter spacing; marketing pages need more air)\n\n**CRITICAL**: Layout problems are often the root cause of interfaces feeling \"off\" even when colors and fonts are fine. Space is a design material — use it with intention.\n\n## Plan Layout Improvements\n\nConsult the [spatial design reference](reference/spatial-design.md) from the frontend-design skill for detailed guidance on grids, rhythm, and container queries.\n\nCreate a systematic plan:\n\n- **Spacing system**: Use a consistent scale — whether that's a framework's built-in scale (e.g., Tailwind), rem-based tokens, or a custom system. The specific values matter less than consistency.\n- **Hierarchy strategy**: How will space communicate importance?\n- **Layout approach**: What structure fits the content? Flex for 1D, Grid for 2D, named areas for complex page layouts.\n- **Rhythm**: Where should spacing be tight vs generous?\n\n## Improve Layout Systematically\n\n### Establish a Spacing System\n\n- Use a consistent spacing scale — framework scales (Tailwind, etc.), rem-based tokens, or a custom scale all work. What matters is that values come from a defined set, not arbitrary numbers.\n- Name tokens semantically if using custom properties: `--space-xs` through `--space-xl`, not `--spacing-8`\n- Use `gap` for sibling spacing instead of margins — eliminates margin collapse hacks\n- Apply `clamp()` for fluid spacing that breathes on larger screens\n\n### Create Visual Rhythm\n\n- **Tight grouping** for related elements (8-12px between siblings)\n- **Generous separation** between distinct sections (48-96px)\n- **Varied spacing** within sections — not every row needs the same gap\n- **Asymmetric compositions** — break the predictable centered-content pattern when it makes sense\n\n### Choose the Right Layout Tool\n\n- **Use Flexbox for 1D layouts**: Rows of items, nav bars, button groups, card contents, most component internals. Flex is simpler and more appropriate for the majority of layout tasks.\n- **Use Grid for 2D layouts**: Page-level structure, dashboards, data-dense interfaces, anything where rows AND columns need coordinated control.\n- **Don't default to Grid** when Flexbox with `flex-wrap` would be simpler and more flexible.\n- Use `repeat(auto-fit, minmax(280px, 1fr))` for responsive grids without breakpoints.\n- Use named grid areas (`grid-template-areas`) for complex page layouts — redefine at breakpoints.\n\n### Break Card Grid Monotony\n\n- Don't default to card grids for everything — spacing and alignment create visual grouping naturally\n- Use cards only when content is truly distinct and actionable — never nest cards inside cards\n- Vary card sizes, span columns, or mix cards with non-card content to break repetition\n\n### Strengthen Visual Hierarchy\n\n- Use the fewest dimensions needed for clear hierarchy. Space alone can be enough — generous whitespace around an element draws the eye. Some of the most sophisticated designs achieve rhythm with just space and weight. Add color or size contrast only when simpler means aren't sufficient.\n- Be aware of reading flow — in LTR languages, the eye naturally scans top-left to bottom-right, but primary action placement depends on context (e.g., bottom-right in dialogs, top in navigation).\n- Create clear content groupings through proximity and separation.\n\n### Manage Depth & Elevation\n\n- Create a semantic z-index scale (dropdown → sticky → modal-backdrop → modal → toast → tooltip)\n- Build a consistent shadow scale (sm → md → lg → xl) — shadows should be subtle\n- Use elevation to reinforce hierarchy, not as decoration\n\n### Optical Adjustments\n\n- If an icon looks visually off-center despite being geometrically centered, nudge it — but only if you're confident it actually looks wrong. Don't adjust speculatively.\n\n**NEVER**:\n- Use arbitrary spacing values outside your scale\n- Make all spacing equal — variety creates hierarchy\n- Wrap everything in cards — not everything needs a container\n- Nest cards inside cards — use spacing and dividers for hierarchy within\n- Use identical card grids everywhere (icon + heading + text, repeated)\n- Center everything — left-aligned with asymmetry feels more designed\n- Default to the hero metric layout (big number, small label, stats, gradient) as a template. If showing real user data, a prominent metric can work — but it should display actual data, not decorative numbers.\n- Default to CSS Grid when Flexbox would be simpler — use the simplest tool for the job\n- Use arbitrary z-index values (999, 9999) — build a semantic scale\n\n## Verify Layout Improvements\n\n- **Squint test**: Can you identify primary, secondary, and groupings with blurred vision?\n- **Rhythm**: Does the page have a satisfying beat of tight and generous spacing?\n- **Hierarchy**: Is the most important content obvious within 2 seconds?\n- **Breathing room**: Does the layout feel comfortable, not cramped or wasteful?\n- **Consistency**: Is the spacing system applied uniformly?\n- **Responsiveness**: Does the layout adapt gracefully across screen sizes?\n\nRemember: Space is the most underused design tool. A layout with the right rhythm and hierarchy can make even simple content feel polished and intentional."}],"isError":false,"timestamp":1775941183749}}
