Apply the Doherty Threshold — keep system response under 400ms to preserve user flow. Use when diagnosing perceived slowness or setting a performance budget. For what to show during unavoidable waits, use `loading-states`.
Design confirmations, status updates, and notifications that tell users an action registered. Use when the system must acknowledge success or change. For waiting states use `loading-states`; for failures use `error-handling-ux`.
Design error prevention, detection, and recovery across a product — message content, placement, and escape routes. Use when errors span multiple flows. For validation inside a single form, use `form-design`.
Model component behaviour as explicit states, events, and transitions. Use when a component has many interacting states that must be exhaustive. For the feel and feedback of a single interaction, use `micro-interaction-spec`.
Specify one micro-interaction completely — trigger, rules, feedback, loops, and modes. Use when handing a single interaction to engineering. For motion craft alone use `animation-principles`; for multi-state components use `state-machine`.
Techniques for mapping interaction structure and flow — places, affordances, edge cases, and failure paths — without committing to visual form
Apply foundational design principles: affordances, signifiers, constraints, feedback, and conceptual models. Use when the user mentions "why is this confusing", "affordance", "error prevention", "discoverability", "human-centered design", "fault tolerance", "mental model", "mapping", or "seven stages of action". Also trigger when diagnosing why users make mistakes, reducing product complexity, or improving error messages and feedback systems. Covers the gulfs of execution and evaluation. For usa
Design the small details -- triggers, rules, feedback, loops and modes -- that separate good products from great ones. Use when the user mentions "microinteraction", "button feedback", "loading state", "toggle design", "animation detail", "interaction polish", "state transitions", or "input feedback". Also trigger when designing form validation responses, progress indicators, confirmation dialogs, or any UI element where the user expects immediate feedback. Covers trigger design, state rules, fe
Motion and interaction design expert based on Emil Kowalski, Jakub Krehel, and Jhey Tompkins' techniques. Two modes — build interactive components with purposeful motion, or audit existing animations to catch AI-slop motion patterns (audit emits a branded HTML report with looping demos). Use when creating, adding, animating, or reviewing UI motion: transitions, hover states, micro-interactions, enter/exit animations, or any motion design work in React, Framer Motion, CSS, or HTML. Provides per-d
Design and implement microinteractions, motion design, transitions, and user feedback patterns. Use when adding polish to UI interactions, implementing loading states, or creating delightful user experiences.
Performs a final quality pass fixing alignment, spacing, consistency, and micro-detail issues before shipping. Use when the user mentions polish, finishing touches, pre-launch review, something looks off, or wants to go from good to great.
Use when activating visual showcase modes (supersaiyan, kamehameha, over9000) for UI or interaction design - provides mode-specific enhancement checklists.
