interfaces-that-feel

Catalogue stub — full skill: Owl-Listener/designer-skills

Decision tree

1. Is the full skill already installed?

   • Global: grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/interfaces-that-feel/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • Project: grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/interfaces-that-feel/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
   • No das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
   • das: block present → go to step 2

2. Detect scope, then install:

   [ -e ~/.agents/skills/interfaces-that-feel ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
   

   Global:

   npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill interfaces-that-feel -g -y
   

   Project:

   npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill interfaces-that-feel -y

What it does

Owls distinctive affective-design method: name the user’s felt state → find a physical-world analogue → extract a behavioral property (weight, resistance, recovery arc) → apply it to easing, delay, copy tone, or spacing. Includes a copy-voice-by-state table and emotional-timing principles. Bigger general UX skills exist, but none package this specific felt-state→property translation.

When NOT to use

• You need raw motion engineering → use gsap-skills or motion-design-skill
• A broad design review → use design-consultation or plan-design-review
