Elevate the feel, polish, and 'juice' of UI interactions and animations, in the craft tradition of Emil Kowalski (sonner, vaul) and Josh Comeau. Apply it WHENEVER the user wants an interface to feel better, smoother, more polished, responsive, satisfying, delightful, or 'alive'; when they say an interaction feels stiff, janky, dead, cheap, flat, or off; when they mention adding animation, motion, micro-interactions, springs, transitions, easing, or hover/press effects; or when they ask to 'add…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Interaction Polish: the craft of feel

The goal is not "add animations." It is to make an interaction feel **considered**, 
responsive, alive, and effortless, the way Emil Kowalski's (sonner, vaul) and Josh Comeau's
work feels. Often that means adding one small, well-tuned piece of feedback. Sometimes it means
*removing* animation that's getting in the way. This skill is the taste to tell the difference,
plus the concrete technique to execute it well.

> "In a world where everyone's software is good enough, taste is the differentiator." (Emil Kowalski)

## The one idea: feedback, not decoration

Game designers have a word for this: **juice**. The same action can feel *dead* or *alive*
purely from the feedback layered on top, without changing what the action does or slowing the
user down. A button that instantly swaps state feels dead; the same button with a 120ms
scale-and-spring-back feels alive. In the anatomy of a micro-interaction (Trigger → Rules →
**Feedback** → Loops), juice lives in the *feedback* layer.

So the operating principle is: **add the smallest feedback that confirms the action, and add

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add flagrare/agent-skills/interaction-polish@sha256:237c6befb6aef00c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.0a5d2b2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
