About emil-design-eng

emil-design-eng
Encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design
emil-design-eng is an agent skill that makes an AI coding assistant work the way Emil Kowalski approaches interface craft. It is built around his design-engineering philosophy: taste is a trained instinct, and the details that make an interface feel right are the ones users rarely notice. When the skill is active, the assistant treats UI polish, component design and animation decisions as the core of the job, studies why well-made interfaces feel the way they do, and looks at how their interactions and animations are built. It is for front-end developers and designers who want their agent to push past a working interface toward one that feels finished. The skill is free and is installed from the emilkowalski/skills repository with the skills CLI. On skills.sh it passes all three security audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk.
