+  - name: target

+    required: false
+user-invokable: true
+---
+
+Increase visual impact and personality in designs that are too safe, generic, or visually underwhelming, creating more engaging and memorable experiences.
+
+## MANDATORY PREPARATION
+
+### Context Gathering (Do This First)
+
+You cannot do a great job without having necessary context, such as target audience (critical), desired use-cases (critical), brand personality/tone, and everything else that a great human designer would need as well.
+
+Attempt to gather these from the current thread or codebase.
+
+1. If you don't find _exact_ information and have to infer from existing design and functionality, you MUST STOP and {{ask_instruction}} whether you got it right.
+2. Otherwise, if you can't fully infer or your level of confidence is medium or lower, you MUST {{ask_instruction}} clarifying questions first to complete your context.
+
+Do NOT proceed until you have answers. Guessing leads to generic AI slop.
+
+### Use frontend-design skill
+
+Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns. Do NOT proceed until it has executed and you know all DO's and DON'Ts.
+
+---
+
+## Assess Current State
+
+Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:
+
+1. **Identify weakness sources**:
+   - **Generic choices**: System fonts, basic colors, standard layouts
+   - **Timid scale**: Everything is medium-sized with no drama
+   - **Low contrast**: Everything has similar visual weight
+   - **Static**: No motion, no energy, no life
+   - **Predictable**: Standard patterns with no surprises
+   - **Flat hierarchy**: Nothing stands out or commands attention
+
+2. **Understand the context**:
+   - What's the brand personality? (How far can we push?)
+   - What's the purpose? (Marketing can be bolder than financial dashboards)
+   - Who's the audience? (What will resonate?)
+   - What are the constraints? (Brand guidelines, accessibility, performance)
+
+If any of these are unclear from the codebase, {{ask_instruction}}
+
+**CRITICAL**: "Bolder" doesn't mean chaotic or garish. It means distinctive, memorable, and confident. Think intentional drama, not random chaos.
+
+**WARNING - AI SLOP TRAP**: When making things "bolder," AI defaults to the same tired tricks: cyan/purple gradients, glassmorphism, neon accents on dark backgrounds, gradient text on metrics. These are the OPPOSITE of bold—they're generic. Review ALL the DON'T guidelines in the frontend-design skill before proceeding. Bold means distinctive, not "more effects."
+
+## Plan Amplification
+
+Create a strategy to increase impact while maintaining coherence:
+
+- **Focal point**: What should be the hero moment? (Pick ONE, make it amazing)
+- **Personality direction**: Maximalist chaos? Elegant drama? Playful energy? Dark moody? Choose a lane.
+- **Risk budget**: How experimental can we be? Push boundaries within constraints.
+- **Hierarchy amplification**: Make big things BIGGER, small things smaller (increase contrast)
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Bold design must still be usable. Impact without function is just decoration.
+
+## Amplify the Design
+
+Systematically increase impact across these dimensions:
+
+### Typography Amplification
+
+- **Replace generic fonts**: Swap system fonts for distinctive choices (see frontend-design skill for inspiration)
+- **Extreme scale**: Create dramatic size jumps (3x-5x differences, not 1.5x)
+- **Weight contrast**: Pair 900 weights with 200 weights, not 600 with 400
+- **Unexpected choices**: Variable fonts, display fonts for headlines, condensed/extended widths, monospace as intentional accent (not as lazy "dev tool" default)
+
+### Color Intensification
+
+- **Increase saturation**: Shift to more vibrant, energetic colors (but not neon)
+- **Bold palette**: Introduce unexpected color combinations—avoid the purple-blue gradient AI slop
+- **Dominant color strategy**: Let one bold color own 60% of the design
+- **Sharp accents**: High-contrast accent colors that pop
+- **Tinted neutrals**: Replace pure grays with tinted grays that harmonize with your palette
+- **Rich gradients**: Intentional multi-stop gradients (not generic purple-to-blue)
+
+### Spatial Drama
+
+- **Extreme scale jumps**: Make important elements 3-5x larger than surroundings
+- **Break the grid**: Let hero elements escape containers and cross boundaries
+- **Asymmetric layouts**: Replace centered, balanced layouts with tension-filled asymmetry
+- **Generous space**: Use white space dramatically (100-200px gaps, not 20-40px)
+- **Overlap**: Layer elements intentionally for depth
+
+### Visual Effects
+
+- **Dramatic shadows**: Large, soft shadows for elevation (but not generic drop shadows on rounded rectangles)
+- **Background treatments**: Mesh patterns, noise textures, geometric patterns, intentional gradients (not purple-to-blue)
+- **Texture & depth**: Grain, halftone, duotone, layered elements—NOT glassmorphism (it's overused AI slop)
+- **Borders & frames**: Thick borders, decorative frames, custom shapes (not rounded rectangles with colored border on one side)
+- **Custom elements**: Illustrative elements, custom icons, decorative details that reinforce brand
+
+### Motion & Animation
+
+- **Entrance choreography**: Staggered, dramatic page load animations with 50-100ms delays
+- **Scroll effects**: Parallax, reveal animations, scroll-triggered sequences
+- **Micro-interactions**: Satisfying hover effects, click feedback, state changes
+- **Transitions**: Smooth, noticeable transitions using ease-out-quart/quint/expo (not bounce or elastic—they cheapen the effect)
+
+### Composition Boldness
+
+- **Hero moments**: Create clear focal points with dramatic treatment
+- **Diagonal flows**: Escape horizontal/vertical rigidity with diagonal arrangements
+- **Full-bleed elements**: Use full viewport width/height for impact
+- **Unexpected proportions**: Golden ratio? Throw it out. Try 70/30, 80/20 splits
+
+**NEVER**:
+
+- Add effects randomly without purpose (chaos ≠ bold)
+- Sacrifice readability for aesthetics (body text must be readable)
+- Make everything bold (then nothing is bold - need contrast)
+- Ignore accessibility (bold design must still meet WCAG standards)
+- Overwhelm with motion (animation fatigue is real)
+- Copy trendy aesthetics blindly (bold means distinctive, not derivative)
+
+## Verify Quality
+
+Ensure amplification maintains usability and coherence:
+
+- **NOT AI slop**: Does this look like every other AI-generated "bold" design? If yes, start over.
+- **Still functional**: Can users accomplish tasks without distraction?
+- **Coherent**: Does everything feel intentional and unified?
+- **Memorable**: Will users remember this experience?
+- **Performant**: Do all these effects run smoothly?
+- **Accessible**: Does it still meet accessibility standards?
+
+**The test**: If you showed this to someone and said "AI made this bolder," would they believe you immediately? If yes, you've failed. Bold means distinctive, not "more AI effects."
+
+Remember: Bold design is confident design. It takes risks, makes statements, and creates memorable experiences. But bold without strategy is just loud. Be intentional, be dramatic, be unforgettable.
