ss-dial — Single-Axis Design Dial

Turns exactly one design axis (denser, bolder, sharper corners, flatter, livelier) up or down along a bounded ramp, with guardrails and a re-gate.

Design & UIIntermediate★ 968⑂ 89AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 29, 2026

What it does

  • Moves seven design axes one supported step at a time: density (compact→comfortable→spacious), hierarchy contrast (subtle→dramatic), corner radius (sharp↔soft↔pill), elevation (flat→lifted), color saturation/temperature, font weight, and motion energy.
  • Clamps at the ends of each ramp — if you are already at spacious or bold, it says so instead of inventing a value.
  • Enforces per-axis guardrails: never a drop shadow in dark mode, always a single accent hue, body weight ≤ 500, numbers/money never animate, prefers-reduced-motion honored, nested inner = outer − padding radii.
  • Persists the new value in the registry (or the legacy lock when no registry exists), recompiles, re-runs the code and rendered gates, and reports axis: old → new with scope and remaining failures.
  • Routes mood words ("premium", "editorial") to /ss-restyle, since those are combinations of axis positions.

Who it's for

  • Teams maintaining a design system inside a styleseed project (.styleseed/project.json, bundles, manifests).
  • Anyone who has broken a grid or introduced a second accent color while hand-editing tokens.
  • Frontend/design engineers who want visual changes to be consistent, scoped, and auditable.

Examples

  1. /ss-dial density denser — steps the density posture down for one artifact, updating only the requested spacing roles while keeping accessibility hit-target floors.
  2. /ss-dial radius sharper — swaps the whole controls/cards/inner-panel radius mapping as one set to avoid mixed-personality UI.
  3. /ss-dial color more-muted — drops accent saturation 10–15% in HSL, re-derives tints at 10–14% alpha, and verifies ≥4.5:1 contrast where the accent carries text.

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitjaru/styleseed/HEAD/engine/.claude/skills/ss-dial/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the engine/.claude/skills/ss-dial folder from the GitHub repo bitjaru/styleseed into my ~/.claude/skills/ss-dial/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r styleseed/engine/.claude/skills/ss-dial ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r styleseed/engine/.claude/skills/ss-dial ~/.claude/skills/
  5. It references sibling docs from ss-update and ss-resolve, so copying the whole set is safer: cp -r styleseed/engine/.claude/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
  6. Restart Claude Code and invoke it inside a project that has a .styleseed/ registry, e.g. /ss-dial density denser.
  7. If no registry exists yet, run the styleseed setup first — this skill will refuse to dial without a valid registry or legacy lock.
