$npx -y skills add educlopez/ui-craft --skill quieterTone down visual noise — lowers variance and motion, simplifies layout and color weight, keeps hierarchy clear. Use when the UI feels loud, busy, or over-designed, or when the user says "quieter", "more restrained", "simpler", or "tone it down". Invoke when the user asks for quie

| 3 | **Context:** this sub-skill is one lens of the broader `ui-craft` skill. If the `ui-craft` skill is also installed, read its SKILL.md first for Discovery + Anti-Slop + Craft Test, then apply the specific lens below. |

| 5 | Make the UI at `the target the user described` quieter. Load the `ui-craft` skill and read `references/craft-intent.md`. |

| 7 | **Reduce amplitude without gutting hierarchy.** Calm ≠ boring. |

| 9 | **Apply in order (edit code directly):** |
| 10 | |
| 11 | 1. **Declare an updated Craft Read** — one line: what softened. |
| 12 | 2. **Lower DESIGN_VARIANCE** by −1–2 (floor 2). Simplify asymmetric breaks; return to clearer grid rhythm where layout was experimental. |
| 13 | 3. **Lower MOTION_INTENSITY** by −1–2 (floor 2). Remove scroll reveals and stagger; keep hover/focus only. |
| 14 | 4. **Visual weight** — compress display sizes one step (e.g. 56→48px); reduce shadow depth to hairline or ambient-only; fewer bordered containers. |
| 15 | 5. **Color** — pull accent placements toward the 3 minimum; neutralize decorative tints; no new hues. |
| 16 | 6. **Cut decorative motion** — idle animations, parallax, floating elements with no job. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | **Preserve:** primary hierarchy, one CTA level, accessibility, states, signature detail only if it carries meaning (else simplify it). |
| 19 | |
| 20 | **Overlap:** for structural cuts (sections, copy), also apply `/distill` logic. For color strategy, see `/colorize`. |

| 22 | **Output:** edit code. Print Review Format table. End with the updated Craft Read line. |
