bolder

SkillDev tools

bolder is a skill that gives your AI a design language to work from. Once added, it guides your agent to produce cleaner, more polished designs and UI in the content it creates.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add bolder, then ask your AI to create designs or UI as you normally would. The design guidance will shape whatever it makes.

Then ask your AI: use the bolder skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Produce cleaner designs in the content it creates
  • Create more polished UI
  • Apply a consistent design language to what it designs
  • Follow design guidance when building interfaces

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by educlopez/ui-craft in .codex/skills/bolder/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

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.

Make the UI at $ARGUMENTS bolder. Load the ui-craft skill and read references/craft-intent.md.

This is amplitude, not decoration. Increase editorial confidence while staying anti-slop clean.

Apply in order (edit code directly):

  1. Declare an updated Craft Read — one line: what changed (variance, motion, signature).
  2. Raise DESIGN_VARIANCE by +1–2 (cap 10). Product surfaces: asymmetric offset, stronger metric hierarchy, or display moment in shell. Marketing: stronger hero composition, section rhythm break, or typographic scale — per references/craft-intent.md variance table.
  3. Raise MOTION_INTENSITY by +1 (cap 10) if below 8 — add one purposeful entrance or hover choreography on the focal element only. Honor prefers-reduced-motion.
  4. Typography — increase display weight or size one step; tighten tracking on headlines; ensure numbers stay tabular-nums.
  5. Accent — strengthen focal accent placement (within 3–5 viewport budget); tint primary card or CTA — never add a second accent hue.
  6. Signature — add or strengthen the one signature bet if missing or weak (see craft-intent §3).

Never add: purple-cyan gradients, bounce easing, glassmorphism stacks, emoji, ALL CAPS headings, three equal icon-card grids, confetti.

Knob gating: if already at variance ≥9 or MOTION ≥9, strengthen signature and typography instead of pushing further.

Output: edit code. Print Review Format table. End with the updated Craft Read line.

Next step: /critique — confirm the added personality did not cost hierarchy or become slop (rung 1).
