What This Skill Does

The ui-polish-pass skill is the essential final checkpoint for all visual interface work within OpenClaw. Designed as a core, always-active agent behavior, it functions as a digital design director. After your AI agent has completed the functional construction, layout, and UX baseline checks, this skill initiates a systematic review of the UI to transition the output from 'functional' to 'professional.' It does not invent new features; instead, it refines the existing structure through four rigorous, sequential passes: Spacing & Breathing Room, Typography Hierarchy, Alignment & Grid, and Color & Contrast. By distilling the interface to its essential components, the skill ensures that spacing is consistent, type hierarchy is logical, and the visual noise is minimized.

Installation

You can install this skill directly via the OpenClaw command-line interface using the following command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aa-on-ai/ui-polish-pass

Ensure that you have appropriate project permissions to modify styling or UI components before execution.

Use Cases

  • Finalizing dashboard layouts: Applying consistent spacing and grid alignment to complex data views.
  • Refining component prototypes: Ensuring headers, labels, and input fields adhere to a strict typography scale.
  • Post-development cleanup: Removing excess visual 'clutter' from auto-generated or code-injected UI elements.
  • Accessibility refinement: Adjusting contrast ratios and font hierarchy to meet standard design readability requirements.

Example Prompts

  1. "The dashboard looks a bit messy after the latest data pull; please run the ui-polish-pass to clean up the spacing and hierarchy."
  2. "I've finished the functional layout for the user settings page. Can you execute a ui-polish-pass to ensure all alignment and typography meet our style guide?"
  3. "The alignment on this form feels off—apply a ui-polish-pass and focus specifically on the grid gutters and edge padding."

Tips & Limitations

  • Distill before decorating: The skill is most effective when it removes unnecessary visual weight rather than adding it. If the UI feels overwhelmed, use the /quieter directive.
  • The 'Squint Test': Use this as a mental heuristic when reviewing the skill's suggestions; if the page looks like an undifferentiated blob, the spacing pass needs more aggressive intervention.
  • Hierarchy over Decoration: Never allow the agent to add new colors or chrome. The goal is clarity, not style-inflation. If the agent suggests adding decorative elements, override the suggestion to maintain strict adherence to your design system. Remember, this skill is a final polish pass, not a feature generator.
