Apply in-product expectation cues — typography, animation, spacing, copy tone, micro-interactions, and visual register that signal "this is the kind of product you''re using" within seconds of opening it. Use when designing the first-screen experience, picking a typography system, deciding loading-state behavior, choosing animation timing, or polishing the surface details that telegraph product quality. Surface cues set expectations for the whole session and create halo effects (positive or negative) that color every later interaction. Small surface details have outsized impact on perceived overall quality.

From the source SKILL.md

In-product design cues are everything the user sees, hears, and feels in the first few seconds of using the product. Typography, color, spacing, animation timing, copy tone, micro-interaction polish, loading-state behavior — all set expectations almost instantly for what the rest of the experience will be like.

Expectation Effect Design Cues is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the conversion sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/expectation-effect-design-cues/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
