Polish

polish

Final craft pass applying the compound details from the polish checklist — micro-typography, spacing rhythm, hover states, and a signature detail — directly to code. Use when the surface is functionally complete but feels unfinished, or when the user says "polish this" / "it looks generic" / "add the final touches". Invoke when the user asks for polish on their UI, or mentions 'polish' alongside design / UI / frontend work.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by educlopez on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Polish AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/educlopez/ui-craft.git /tmp/ui-craft
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ui-craft/cli/assets/codex/skills/polish .claude/skills/polish

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Polish in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Polish on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Polish is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Context: this sub-skill is one lens of the broader ui-craft skill. If the ui-craft skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below.

Polish the UI at $ARGUMENTS. Load the ui-craft skill.

Source of truth: read references/review.md → Polish Pass (Compound Details) section. Apply every item on that list to the target. Do not re-derive the list here — review.md owns it.

Then the signature detail: surfaces built via /craft already carry exactly one signature bet, chosen in the Craft Read and built in the first pass (references/craft-intent.md). Polish verifies it survived and strengthens it — never stacks a second. Only if the surface predates craft-intent (no signature anywhere) do you propose and add one: a subtle motif, an asymmetric layout break, a custom list marker, a distinctive hover — one thing someone would remember.

Knob gating (CRAFT_LEVEL):

≤ 4 → skip the Polish Pass. Ask the user first before running it.
5-7 → apply everything on the list, leave the signature as-built unless asked.
8+ → apply everything + verify/strengthen the signature detail (add one only if the surface has none).

Output: edit the code directly (polish is implementation, not critique). After each file, print the Review Format table from SKILL.md showing what changed and why. No full diffs — one row per change.

Close every run with a Craft Report (references/review.md → Craft Report). The table above is the per-file diff log; the Craft Report is the run's receipt — Checked / Passed / Changed / Left alone / Verdict. Produce it even when the Polish Pass found nothing to change — that is itself the finding.

Next step: /finalize — the pre-ship gate (rung 3).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Polish AI skill do?

Why use Polish on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Polish is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Polish in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/educlopez/ui-craft/tree/main/cli/assets/codex/skills/polish. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Polish?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Polish?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Polish with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Polish AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by educlopez under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
