normalize
Audits and realigns UI to match design system standards, spacing, tokens, and patterns. Use when the user mentions consistency, design drift, mismatched styles, tokens, or wants to bring a feature back in line with the system.
Best use case
normalize is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Audits and realigns UI to match design system standards, spacing, tokens, and patterns. Use when the user mentions consistency, design drift, mismatched styles, tokens, or wants to bring a feature back in line with the system.
Teams using normalize should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

Analyze and redesign the feature to perfectly match our design system standards, aesthetics, and established patterns. ## MANDATORY PREPARATION Invoke /frontend-design — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the **Context Gathering Protocol**. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-impeccable first. --- ## Plan Before making changes, deeply understand the context: 1. **Discover the design system**: Search for design system documentation, UI guidelines, component libraries, or style guides (grep for "design system", "ui guide", "style guide", etc.). Study it thoroughly until you understand: - Core design principles and aesthetic direction - Target audience and personas - Component patterns and conventions - Design tokens (colors, typography, spacing) **CRITICAL**: If something isn't clear, ask. Don't guess at design system principles. 2. **Analyze the current feature**: Assess what works and what doesn't: - Where does it deviate from design system patterns? - Which inconsistencies are cosmetic vs. functional? - What's the root cause—missing tokens, one-off implementations, or conceptual misalignment? 3. **Create a normalization plan**: Define specific changes that will align the feature with the design system: - Which components can be replaced with design system equivalents? - Which styles need to use design tokens instead of hard-coded values? - How can UX patterns match established user flows? **IMPORTANT**: Great design is effective design. Prioritize UX consistency and usability over visual polish alone. Think through the best possible experience for your use case and personas first. ## Execute Systematically address all inconsistencies across these dimensions: - **Typography**: Use design system fonts, sizes, weights, and line heights. Replace hard-coded values with typographic tokens or classes. - **Color & Theme**: Apply design system color tokens. Remove one-off color choices that break the palette. - **Spacing & Layout**: Use spacing tokens (margins, padding, gaps). Align with grid systems and layout patterns used elsewhere. - **Components**: Replace custom implementations with design system components. Ensure props and variants match established patterns. - **Motion & Interaction**: Match animation timing, easing, and interaction patterns to other features. - **Responsive Behavior**: Ensure breakpoints and responsive patterns align with design system standards. - **Accessibility**: Verify contrast ratios, focus states, ARIA labels match design system requirements. - **Progressive Disclosure**: Match information hierarchy and complexity management to established patterns. **NEVER**: - Create new one-off components when design system equivalents exist - Hard-code values that should use design tokens - Introduce new patterns that diverge from the design system - Compromise accessibility for visual consistency This is not an exhaustive list—apply judgment to identify all areas needing normalization. ## Clean Up After normalization, ensure code quality: - **Consolidate reusable components**: If you created new components that should be shared, move them to the design system or shared UI component path. - **Remove orphaned code**: Delete unused implementations, styles, or files made obsolete by normalization. - **Verify quality**: Lint, type-check, and test according to repository guidelines. Ensure normalization didn't introduce regressions. - **Ensure DRYness**: Look for duplication introduced during refactoring and consolidate. Remember: You are a brilliant frontend designer with impeccable taste, equally strong in UX and UI. Your attention to detail and eye for end-to-end user experience is world class. Execute with precision and thoroughness.
