distill

Featured

Reduction pass — cuts content, structure, visuals, and dead code that doesn't answer a user question or drive an action, respecting CRAFT_LEVEL. Use when the UI feels cluttered, has too many CTAs, walls of text, or decorative noise, or when the user says "simplify this" / "it feels too busy". Invoke when the user asks for distill on their UI, or mentions 'distill' alongside design / UI / frontend work.

Load the `ui-craft` skill. **The test for every section, component, prop, and word:** > Does this answer a question the user is asking or drive an action they need to take? If not — cut it. **Knob gating (CRAFT_LEVEL):** - `≤ 4` → be more aggressive with cuts; strip anything that doesn't directly drive action. - `5-7` → standard cuts per the test below. - `8+` → preserve signature details even if they don't directly drive action — the one memorable element that makes this feel designed stays. **Apply ruthlessly:** 1. **Content** — walls of text → 2-3 sentences max per landing section. Vague testimonials → specific metrics or cut. "Features" lists with 12 items → pick the 4 that matter. Placeholder copy → real or removed. 2. **Structure** — identical card grids → asymmetric rows with real visuals. Three competing CTAs → one primary + one secondary. Breadcrumbs + title + subtitle + description + icon → pick the two that are load-bearing. 3. **Visuals** — decorative gradient blobs → gone. Background patterns that don't carry meaning → gone.
