# UI polish

This skill holds the visual polish for surfaces, icons and motion, with the exact value each detail takes. It applies once the underlying interaction is sound, and a polish finding never outranks a broken interaction.

## Exact values, optional polish

The values below are exact, not ranges to approximate. `cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0, 1)` is not `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`, and `0.96` is not `0.95`. The optical nudges and the concentric padding cutoff are the exceptions. They are starting points, judged by eye.

Keep the project's component library, tokens and density, and match its motion language wherever no rule here gives a value. A deliberate and consistent project convention, such as a style with no shadows, is a preference and not a finding. The same detail done two ways within the project is a finding.

Text wrapping, font rendering, tabular numbers and text spacing belong to `better-typography`. Hit areas, keyboard support, ARIA and the reduced-motion requirement belong to `better-accessibility`. Grouping, section spacing, breakpoints and spatial RTL belong to `better-layout`, except directional icon mirroring. Color tokens and contrast measurement belong to `better-colors`.

## Outer radius equals inner radius plus padding
