description: Final craft pass applying the compound details from the polish checklist — micro-typography, spacing rhythm, hover states, and a signature detail — directly to code. Use when the surface is functionally complete but feels unfinished, or when the user says "polish this" / "it looks generic" / "add the final touches".

Polish the UI at `$ARGUMENTS`. Load the `ui-craft` skill.

**Source of truth:** read `references/review.md` → **Polish Pass (Compound Details)** section. Apply every item on that list to the target. Do not re-derive the list here — `review.md` owns it.

**Then the signature detail**: surfaces built via `/craft` already carry exactly one signature bet, chosen in the Craft Read and built in the first pass (`references/craft-intent.md`). Polish **verifies it survived and strengthens it** — never stacks a second. Only if the surface predates craft-intent (no signature anywhere) do you propose and add one: a subtle motif, an asymmetric layout break, a custom list marker, a distinctive hover — one thing someone would remember.

**Knob gating (CRAFT_LEVEL):**
- `≤ 4` → skip the Polish Pass. Ask the user first before running it.
- `5-7` → apply everything on the list, leave the signature as-built unless asked.
- `8+` → apply everything + verify/strengthen the signature detail (add one only if the surface has none).

**Output**: edit the code directly (polish is implementation, not critique). After each file, print the Review Format table from SKILL.md showing what changed and why. No full diffs — one row per change.

**Close every run with a Craft Report** (`references/review.md` → Craft Report). The table above is the per-file diff log; the Craft Report is the run's receipt — Checked / Passed / Changed / Left alone / Verdict. Produce it even when the Polish Pass found nothing to change — that is itself the finding.
