Design engineering principles for making interfaces feel polished. Use when building UI components, reviewing frontend code, implementing animations, hover states, shadows, borders, micro-interactions, enter/exit animations, choosing or reviewing icons, or any visual detail work. Triggers on UI polish, design details, make it feel better, feels off, stagger animations, border radius, optical alignment, image outlines, box shadows, icons, icon stroke weight, icon states, motion restraint.
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
# Details that make interfaces feel better Great interfaces rarely come from a single thing. It's usually a collection of small details that compound into a great experience. Apply these principles when building or reviewing UI code. When reviewing, slow the interface down: replay motion at 10% speed in the browser's Animations panel and walk every state: hover, focus, active, loading, empty. What feels off at 10% speed is what's subtly wrong at full speed. Preserve the project's component library, tokens, and density. Match its established motion language except where a principle below prescribes an exact interaction pattern. Typography (text wrapping, font rendering, tabular numbers, spacing) is covered by the `better-typography` skill; use that for anything text-related. Accessibility (hit areas, focus states, keyboard support, ARIA, reduced-motion requirements) is covered by the `better-accessibility` skill. Layout structure (grouping, spacing between sections, breakpoints, spatial RTL including icon mirroring) is covered by the `better-layout` skill. When any of those skills is unavailable, do not stop: apply the project's own tokens and component conventions, fall back… …

How to install
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/better-ui@sha256:ab12a47fe03140c5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
