Command Reference

The 22 documented task commands in Impeccable 4.0.4, grouped by what they do. Project setup uses init; craft remains only as a deprecated compatibility alias, and teach aliases init.

Create

CommandWhat it does
impeccableThe design intelligence behind every command.
shapePlan UX and UI before code.

Evaluate

CommandWhat it does
auditRun technical quality checks across accessibility, performance, theming, responsive design, and anti-patterns.
critiqueEvaluate design from a UX perspective, assessing visual hierarchy, information architecture, emotional resonance, cognitive load, and overall quality with quantitative scoring, persona-based testing, automated anti-pattern detection, and actionable feedback.

Refine

CommandWhat it does
animateReview a feature and enhance it with purposeful animations, micro-interactions, and motion effects that improve usability and delight.
bolderAmplify safe or boring designs to make them more visually interesting and stimulating.
colorizeAdd strategic color to features that are too monochromatic or lack visual interest, making interfaces more engaging and expressive.
delightAdd moments of joy, personality, and unexpected touches that make interfaces memorable and enjoyable to use.
layoutImprove layout, spacing, and visual rhythm.
overdrivePushes interfaces past conventional limits with technically ambitious implementations — shaders, spring physics, scroll-driven reveals, 60fps animations.
quieterTones down visually aggressive or overstimulating designs, reducing intensity while preserving quality.
typesetImproves typography by fixing font choices, hierarchy, sizing, weight, and readability so text feels intentional.

Simplify

CommandWhat it does
adaptAdapt designs to work across different screen sizes, devices, contexts, or platforms.
clarifyImprove unclear UX copy, error messages, microcopy, labels, and instructions to make interfaces easier to understand.
distillStrip designs to their essence by removing unnecessary complexity.

Harden

CommandWhat it does
hardenMake interfaces production-ready: error handling, i18n, text overflow, edge case management, and resilience under real-world data.
onboardDesign onboarding flows, first-run experiences, and empty states that guide new users to value.
optimizeDiagnoses and fixes UI performance across loading speed, rendering, animations, images, and bundle size.
polishPerforms a final quality pass fixing alignment, spacing, consistency, and micro-detail issues before shipping.

System

CommandWhat it does
documentGenerate a DESIGN.md file that captures the current visual design system.
extractPull reusable patterns, components, and design tokens into the design system.
liveInteractive live variant mode.
