Why Impeccable?

Anthropic created frontend-design, a skill that guides Claude toward better UI design. Impeccable builds on that foundation with deeper expertise and more control.

Every LLM learned from the same generic templates. Without guidance, you get the same predictable mistakes: Inter font, purple gradients, cards nested in cards, gray text on colored backgrounds.

Impeccable fights that bias with:

• An expanded skill with 7 domain-specific reference files (view source)
• 20 steering commands to audit, review, polish, distill, animate, and more
• Curated anti-patterns that explicitly tell the AI what NOT to do

What's Included

The Skill: frontend-design

A comprehensive design skill with 7 domain-specific references (view skill):

Reference	Covers
typography	Type systems, font pairing, modular scales, OpenType
color-and-contrast	OKLCH, tinted neutrals, dark mode, accessibility
spatial-design	Spacing systems, grids, visual hierarchy
motion-design	Easing curves, staggering, reduced motion
interaction-design	Forms, focus states, loading patterns
responsive-design	Mobile-first, fluid design, container queries
ux-writing	Button labels, error messages, empty states

20 Commands

Command	What it does
/teach-impeccable	One-time setup: gather design context, save to config
/audit	Run technical quality checks (a11y, performance, responsive)
/critique	UX design review: hierarchy, clarity, emotional resonance
/normalize	Align with design system standards
/polish	Final pass before shipping
/distill	Strip to essence
/clarify	Improve unclear UX copy
/optimize	Performance improvements
/harden	Error handling, i18n, edge cases
/animate	Add purposeful motion
/colorize	Introduce strategic color
/bolder	Amplify boring designs
/quieter	Tone down overly bold designs
/delight	Add moments of joy
/extract	Pull into reusable components
/adapt	Adapt for different devices
/onboard	Design onboarding flows
/typeset	Fix font choices, hierarchy, sizing
/arrange	Fix layout, spacing, visual rhythm
/overdrive	Add technically extraordinary effects

Usage Examples

/audit - Run quality checks, get a report (no edits)

/audit blog              # Audit blog hub + post pages
/audit dashboard         # Check dashboard components
/audit checkout flow     # Focus on checkout UX

When to use: Before making changes, to understand what needs fixing.

/normalize - Align with design system

/normalize blog          # Apply design tokens, fix spacing
/normalize buttons       # Standardize button styles

When to use: After audit, to fix inconsistencies.

/critique - UX design review

/critique landing page   # Review landing page UX
/critique onboarding     # Check onboarding flow

When to use: When you want design feedback, not technical fixes.

/polish - Final pass before shipping

/polish feature modal    # Clean up modal before release
/polish settings page    # Final review of settings UI

When to use: Last step before deploying to production.

Combining commands:

/audit /normalize /polish blog    # Full workflow: audit → fix → polish
/critique /harden checkout        # UX review + add error handling

Anti-Patterns

The skill includes explicit guidance on what to avoid:

• Don't use overused fonts (Arial, Inter, system defaults)
• Don't use gray text on colored backgrounds
• Don't use pure black/gray (always tint)
• Don't wrap everything in cards or nest cards inside cards
• Don't use bounce/elastic easing (feels dated)
