Fetched SKILL.md and confirmed frontmatter (name+description) plus 7 fully-specified axis ramp tables; spot-checked referenced sibling skills ss-score/ss-restyle/ss-build (all HTTP 200); STYLESEED.md is a generated project lock, not a missing repo file; no security smells. Output test: took a Tailwind card at "comfortable" density and produced a freehand-denser baseline vs the skill's verbatim "dense" row. Baseline drifted off-grid (gap-2.5=10px, p-3=12px, both outside the sanctioned set the skill bans), dropped the button to py-1.5/px-2 below the 44px touch floor, and left line-height uncoordinated; the skill version applied space-y-4/p-4/gap-3/leading-snug, kept py-3 (touch floor held), and stayed fully on-grid — a concrete measurable win. Could not run the persist/re-gate-to-80 steps (need ss-score + a real STYLESEED lock), but the core deterministic ramp is self-contained and was measured.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Ss Dial does

Turns a single design axis up or down — density, hierarchy contrast, radius, elevation, color saturation/temperature, font weight, or motion — by applying a fixed multi-token ramp instead of freehand reinterpretation, then persisting the new position to STYLESEED.md and re-running the score gate. Triggers on one-axis requests like "make it denser", "sharper corners", "more muted", or "bolder", and defers mood words ("more premium") to ss-restyle and hue rebrands to editing the lock directly. Part of the StyleSeed engine and depends on a STYLESEED.md lock plus sibling skills (ss-build/ss-setup, ss-score) for the full persist-and-gate loop.

How to install Ss Dial

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed.git /tmp/ss-dial-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/ss-dial-src/engine/.claude/skills/ss-dial ~/.claude/skills/ss-dial
# Places SKILL.md at ~/.claude/skills/ss-dial/SKILL.md
# Recommended full install (whole engine, all ss-* skills): npx skills add bitjaru/styleseed
# DEPENDENCY: ss-dial reads/writes a project STYLESEED.md lock (created by /ss-setup or /ss-build)
#   and calls /ss-score to re-gate to >=80. Copy the sibling skills too for the full loop:
#   cp -R /tmp/ss-dial-src/engine/.claude/skills/ss-{setup,build,score,restyle} ~/.claude/skills/

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Ss Dial

  • /ss-dial Move one design axis (density, radius, color, weight) as a coordinated on-grid token ramp

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Make this interface denser and sharper-cornered
  • Turn up the boldness of this design system
  • Make the palette more muted across all tokens

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ss Dial skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from bitjaru/styleseed. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

How do I install Ss Dial?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Ss Dial with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
