make-interfaces-better

v2026.09.25

Design engineering principles for making interfaces feel polished and alive. Covers micro-interactions, typography details, visual refinement, and the small decisions that separate "it works" from "it feels right". By Jakub Krehel (Interfere, Interfaces magazine, oklch.fyi).

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed? Check whether the skill at this location still has a das: block:

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

    To detect scope:

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

    Global (installed with -g):

    npx skills add jakubkrehel/make-interfaces-feel-better --skill make-interfaces-better -g -y
    

    Project (installed without -g):

    npx skills add jakubkrehel/make-interfaces-feel-better --skill make-interfaces-better -y
    

    Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

What it does

Applies Jakub Krehel's design engineering principles to make interfaces feel genuinely polished — not just functional. Covers micro-interactions, precise typography choices, visual hierarchy refinement, motion timing, and the subtle details (hover states, transitions, spacing rhythm) that distinguish well-crafted UI from generic output. By the creator of oklch.fyi and the Interfaces publication.
