Label clearly as approximation. | + +--- + +## 3. DEFAULT ARCHITECTURE & CONVENTIONS + +Unless the design read picks a real design system (Section 2.A), these are the defaults: + +### 3.A Stack +* **Framework:** React or Next.js. Default to Server Components (RSC). + * **RSC SAFETY:** Global state works ONLY in Client Components. In Next.js, wrap providers in a `"use client"` component. + * **INTERACTIVITY ISOLATION:** Any component using Motion, scroll listeners, or pointer physics MUST be an isolated leaf with `'use client'` at the top. Server Components render static layouts only. +* **Styling:** **Tailwind v4** (default). Tailwind v3 only if the existing project demands it. + * For v4: do NOT use `tailwindcss` plugin in `postcss.config.js`. Use `@tailwindcss/postcss` or the Vite plugin. +* **Animation:** **Motion** (the library formerly known as Framer Motion). Import from `motion/react` (`import { motion } from "motion/react"`). The `framer-motion` package still works as a legacy alias - prefer `motion/react` in new code. +* **Fonts:** Always use `next/font` (Next.js) or self-host with `@font-face` + `font-display: swap`. Never link Google Fonts via `` in production. + +### 3.B State +* Local `useState` / `useReducer` for isolated UI. +* Global state ONLY for deep prop-drilling avoidance - Zustand, Jotai, or React context. +* **NEVER** use `useState` to track continuous values driven by user input (mouse position, scroll progress, pointer physics, magnetic hover). Use Motion's `useMotionValue` / `useTransform` / `useScroll`. `useState` re-renders the React tree on every change and collapses on mobile. + +### 3.C Icons +* **Allowed libraries (priority order):** `@phosphor-icons/react`, `hugeicons-react`, `@radix-ui/react-icons`, `@tabler/icons-react`. +* **Discouraged:** `lucide-react`. Acceptable only when the user explicitly asks for it or the project already depends on it. +* **NEVER hand-roll SVG icons.** If a glyph is missing, install a second library or compose from primitives - do not draw icon paths from scratch. +* **One family per project.** Do not mix Phosphor with Lucide in the same component tree. +* **Standardize `strokeWidth` globally** (e.g. `1.5` or `2.0`). + +### 3.D Emoji Policy +Discouraged by default in code, markup, and visible text. Replace symbols with icon-library glyphs. **Override:** allow emojis only when the user explicitly asks for a playful / chat-style / social-native vibe - and even then use them sparingly with intent. + +### 3.E Responsiveness & Layout Mechanics +* Standardize breakpoints (`sm 640`, `md 768`, `lg 1024`, `xl 1280`, `2xl 1536`). +* Contain page layouts using `max-w-[1400px] mx-auto` or `max-w-7xl`. +* **Viewport Stability:** NEVER use `h-screen` for full-height Hero sections. ALWAYS use `min-h-[100dvh]` to prevent layout jumping on mobile (iOS Safari address bar). +* **Grid over Flex-Math:** NEVER use complex flexbox percentage math (`w-[calc(33%-1rem)]`). ALWAYS use CSS Grid (`grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6`). + +### 3.F Dependency Verification (mandatory) +Before importing ANY 3rd-party library, check `package.json`. If the package is missing, output the install command first. **Never** assume a library exists. + +--- + +## 4. DESIGN ENGINEERING DIRECTIVES (Bias Correction) + +LLMs default to clichés. Override these defaults proactively. Each rule has a context-aware override path. + +### 4.1 Typography +* **Display / Headlines:** Default `text-4xl md:text-6xl tracking-tighter leading-none`. +* **Body / Paragraphs:** Default `text-base text-gray-600 leading-relaxed max-w-[65ch]`. +* **Sans font choice:** + * **Discouraged as default:** `Inter`. Pick `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, `Satoshi`, or a brand-appropriate serif first. + * **Override:** Inter is acceptable when the user explicitly asks for a neutral / standard / Linear-style feel, or when the brief is a public-sector / accessibility-first site. +* **Pairings to know:** `Geist` + `Geist Mono`, `Satoshi` + `JetBrains Mono`, `Cabinet Grotesk` + `Inter Tight`, `GT America` + `IBM Plex Mono`. + +* **SERIF DISCIPLINE (VERY DISCOURAGED AS DEFAULT):** + * Serif is **very discouraged as the default font for any project.** "It feels creative / premium / editorial" is NOT a reason to reach for serif. The agent's default mental model that "creative brief = serif" is the single most-tested AI tell in production rounds. + * **Serif is only acceptable when ONE of these is explicitly true:** + - The brand brief literally names a serif font, OR + - The aesthetic family is genuinely editorial / luxury / publication / manuscript / heritage / vintage AND you can articulate why this specific serif fits this specific brand + * For everything else (creative agency, design studio, modern brand, premium consumer, portfolio, lifestyle), **default sans-serif display** (Geist Display, ABC Diatype, Söhne Breit, Cabinet Grotesk Display, Migra Sans, GT Walsheim, Inter Display, PP Neue Montreal). Sans display fonts are not "boring" — they are the default for the same reason black is the default in fashion. + * **EMPHASIS RULE (related):** When you want to emphasize a word within a headline (the kinetic "and `spatial` design" type move), use **italic or bold of the SAME font**. Do NOT inject a random serif word into a sans headline (or vice versa) just to add visual interest. Mixed-family emphasis is amateur. Italic/bold emphasis in the same family is the right move. + * **Specifically BANNED as defaults:** `Fraunces` and `Instrument_Serif` (the two LLM-favorite display serifs). + * **If a serif is justified** (rare, per the above), rotate from this pool, do NOT reuse the same serif across consecutive projects: PP Editorial New, GT Sectra Display, Cardinal Grotesque, Reckless Neue, Tiempos Headline, Recoleta, Cormorant Garamond, Playfair Display, EB Garamond, IvyPresto, Migra, Editorial Old, Saol Display, Söhne Breit Kursiv, Domaine Display, Canela, Schnyder, Tobias, NB Architekt, ITC Galliard. + +* **ITALIC DESCENDER CLEARANCE (mandatory):** When italic is used in display type and the word contains a descender letter (`y g j p q`), `leading-[1]` or `leading-none` will clip the descender. Use `leading-[1.1]` minimum and add `pb-1` or `mb-1` reserve on the wrapping element. Audit every italic word in display headlines before shipping. + +### 4.2 Color Calibration +* Max 1 accent color. Saturation < 80% by default. +* **THE LILA RULE:** The "AI Purple / Blue glow" aesthetic is discouraged as a default. No automatic purple button glows, no random neon gradients. Use neutral bases (Zinc / Slate / Stone) with high-contrast singular accents (Emerald, Electric Blue, Deep Rose, Burnt Orange, etc.). +* **Override:** if the brand or brief explicitly asks for purple / violet / lila, embrace it. But execute with intent: consistent palette, harmonised neutrals, restrained gradients. Not generic AI gradient slop. +* **One palette per project.** Do not fluctuate between warm and cool grays within the same project. +* **COLOR CONSISTENCY LOCK (mandatory):** Once an accent color is chosen for a page, it is used on the WHOLE page. A warm-grey site does not suddenly get a blue CTA in section 7. A rose-accented site does not get a teal status badge in the footer. Pick one accent, lock it, audit every component before shipping. + +* **PREMIUM-CONSUMER PALETTE BAN (mandatory, second-most-recurring AI-tell):** + * For premium-consumer briefs (cookware, wellness, artisan, luxury, heritage craft, DTC home goods, etc.) the LLM default is **warm beige/cream + brass/clay/oxblood/ochre + espresso/ink dark text**. Concretely banned hex families as default backgrounds and accents: + - Backgrounds: `#f5f1ea`, `#f7f5f1`, `#fbf8f1`, `#efeae0`, `#ece6db`, `#faf7f1`, `#e8dfcb` (all "warm paper / cream / chalk / bone") + - Accents: `#b08947`, `#b6553a`, `#9a2436`, `#9c6e2a`, `#bc7c3a`, `#7d5621` (all "brass / clay / oxblood / ochre") + - Text: `#1a1714`, `#1a1814`, `#1b1814` (all "espresso / warm near-black") + * This palette is BANNED as the default reach for premium-consumer briefs. Every premium-consumer site you have ever shipped uses this exact palette. The brand becomes invisible. + * **Default alternatives (rotate, do not reuse):** + - **Cold Luxury:** silver-grey + chrome + smoke (think Tesla, Apple Watch Hermes-without-the-leather) + - **Forest:** deep green + bone + amber accent (think Filson, Patagonia premium) + - **Black and Tan:** true off-black + warm tan, sharp contrast, no beige + - **Cobalt + Cream:** saturated blue against a single neutral, no brass + - **Terracotta + Slate:** warm rust against cool grey, no brass + - **Olive + Brick + Paper:** muted olive plus brick-red accent + - **Pure monochrome + single saturated pop:** off-white + off-black + one bright accent (electric blue, emerald, hot pink, etc.) + * **Palette-rotation rule:** if the previous premium-consumer project you generated used the beige+brass family, this one MUST use a different family. Do not ship the same warm-craft palette twice in a row. + * **Override:** the beige+brass+espresso palette is acceptable ONLY when the brand brief explicitly names those colors, or when the brand identity is genuinely vintage / artisan / warm-craft AND you can articulate why this specific palette fits this specific brand. Default-reaching for it because "this is a cookware brief" is banned. + +### 4.3 Layout Diversification +* **ANTI-CENTER BIAS:** Centered Hero / H1 sections are avoided when `DESIGN_VARIANCE > 4`. Force "Split Screen" (50/50), "Left-aligned content / right-aligned asset", "Asymmetric white-space", or scroll-pinned structures. +* **Override:** centered hero is OK for editorial / manifesto / launch-announcement briefs where the message itself is the design. + +### 4.4 Materiality, Shadows, Cards +* Use cards ONLY when elevation communicates real hierarchy. Otherwise group with `border-t`, `divide-y`, or negative space. +* When a shadow is used, tint it to the background hue. No pure-black drop shadows on light backgrounds. +* For `VISUAL_DENSITY > 7`: generic card containers are banned. Data metrics breathe in plain layout. +* **SHAPE CONSISTENCY LOCK (mandatory):** Pick ONE corner-radius scale for the page and stick to it. Options: all-sharp (radius 0), all-soft (radius 12-16px), all-pill (full radius for interactive). Mixed systems are allowed only when there is a documented rule (e.g. "buttons are full-pill, cards are 16px, inputs are 8px") and that rule is followed everywhere. Round buttons in a square layout, or square cards on a pill-button page, is broken design. + +### 4.5 Interactive UI States +LLMs default to "static successful state only." Always implement full cycles: +* **Loading:** Skeletal loaders matching the final layout's shape. Avoid generic circular spinners. +* **Empty States:** Beautifully composed; indicate how to populate. +* **Error States:** Clear, inline (forms), or contextual (toasts only for transient). +* **Tactile Feedback:** On `:active`, use `-translate-y-[1px]` or `scale-[0.98]` to simulate a physical push. +* **BUTTON CONTRAST CHECK (mandatory, a11y):** Before shipping any button, verify the button text is readable against the button background. White button + white text, `bg-white` CTA with `text-white` label, transparent button against the page background with no border → all banned. Audit every CTA: contrast ratio WCAG AA min (4.5:1 for body, 3:1 for large text 18px+). Same rule applies to ghost buttons over photographic backgrounds (use a backdrop, scrim, or stroke). +* **CTA BUTTON WRAP BAN (mandatory):** Button text MUST fit on one line at desktop. If a label like "VIEW SELECTED WORK" wraps to 2 or 3 lines, the button is broken. Fix by EITHER shortening the label (3 words max for primary CTAs, ideally 1-2) OR widening the button (do not artificially constrain `max-width` on CTAs). Wrapped CTAs at desktop are a Pre-Flight Fail. +* **NO DUPLICATE CTA INTENT (mandatory):** Two CTAs with the same intent on one page is a Pre-Flight Fail. Examples of same intent: "Get in touch" + "Contact us" + "Let's talk" + "Start a project" + "Start something" + "Reach out" = all "contact" intent → pick ONE label and use it everywhere on the page (nav, hero, footer). Same for "Try free" + "Get started" + "Sign up free" (all "signup" intent) and "View work" + "See selected work" + "Browse projects" (all "portfolio" intent). One label per intent. +* **FORM CONTRAST CHECK (mandatory, a11y):** Form inputs, placeholder text, focus rings, helper text, and error text all pass WCAG AA contrast against the section background. Light placeholders on a near-white form, white form on white page section, form labels grayer than 4.5:1 contrast → all banned. Audit every form before shipping. + +### 4.6 Data & Form Patterns +* Label ABOVE input. Helper text optional but present in markup. Error text BELOW input. Standard `gap-2` for input blocks. +* No placeholder-as-label. Ever. + +### 4.7 Layout Discipline (Hard Rules. Failing any of these is shipping broken work) + +* **Hero MUST fit in the initial viewport.** Headline max 2 lines on desktop, subtext max **20 words** AND max 3-4 lines, CTAs visible without scroll. If the copy is too long: reduce font scale OR cut copy. If you cannot describe the value-prop in 20 words of subtext, the value-prop is unclear, not the rule too tight. Never let the hero overflow and force scroll to find the CTA. +* **Hero font-scale discipline.** Plan font size and image size *together*. If the hero asset is large and the headline is more than 6 words, do not start at `text-7xl/text-8xl`. Default sensible range: `text-4xl md:text-5xl lg:text-6xl` for most heroes; `text-6xl md:text-7xl` only when the headline is 3-5 words. A 4-line hero headline is always a font-size error, never a copy-length error. +* **HERO TOP PADDING CAP (mandatory):** Hero top padding max `pt-24` (≈6rem) at desktop. More than that means the hero content floats halfway down the viewport and reads as a layout bug, not as intentional space. If your hero needs more breathing room, increase font scale or asset size, not top padding. +* **HERO STACK DISCIPLINE (max 4 text elements).** The hero is a single moment, not a feature list. Allowed text elements, max 4 in total: + 1. Eyebrow (small uppercase label) OR brand strip OR neither - pick zero or one + 2. Headline (max 2 lines, see above) + 3. Subtext (max 20 words, max 4 lines) + 4. CTAs (1 primary + max 1 secondary) + - **BANNED in the hero:** tiny tagline below CTAs ("Works with GitHub, GitLab, and self-hosted Git"), trust micro-strip ("Used by engineering teams at..."), pricing teaser ("Free for solo, $10/user for teams"), feature bullet list, social-proof avatar row. All of those move to dedicated sections directly below the hero. + - If you have an eyebrow AND a tagline below CTAs in the same hero, drop the tagline. If you have a brand strip AND a tagline, drop the tagline. One small text element per hero, max. +* **"Used by" / "Trusted by" logo wall belongs UNDER the hero, never inside it.** The hero is for the value prop and primary CTA. The logo wall is a separate section directly below. Do not stuff trust logos into the same flex row as the hero copy. +* **Navigation MUST render on a single line on desktop.** If items don't fit at `lg` (1024px), condense labels, drop secondary items, or move to a hamburger. A two-line nav at desktop is broken design. +* **Navigation height cap: 80px max desktop, default 64-72px.** No huge "agency" nav bars that eat 15% of the viewport. +* **Bento grids MUST have rhythm, not one-sided repetition.** Do not stack 6 left-image / right-text rows. Vary the composition: alternate full-width feature rows, asymmetric tile sizes, vertical breaks. +* **BENTO CELL COUNT RULE (mandatory):** A bento grid has EXACTLY as many cells as you have content for. 3 items → 3 cells (1+2 split, or 2+1, or asymmetric trio). 5 items → 5 cells (2+3, 3+2, hero+4, etc.). If your grid has an empty cell in the middle or at the end, you planned wrong. Re-shape the grid; do not paste a blank tile. +* **Section-Layout-Repetition Ban.** Once you use a layout family for a section (e.g., 3-column-image-cards, full-width-quote, split-text-image), that family can appear at most ONCE on the page. "Selected commissions" must not look like "What we do." A landing page with 8 sections must use at least 4 different layout families. +* **ZIGZAG ALTERNATION CAP (mandatory).** Alternating "left-image + right-text" then "left-text + right-image" zigzag layout = banal. Max 2 sections in a row with this image+text-split pattern. The 3rd consecutive image+text split is a Pre-Flight Fail. Break the pattern with a full-width section, a vertical-stack section, a bento grid, a marquee, or a different layout family. +* **EYEBROW RESTRAINT (mandatory, the #1 violated rule in production tests).** An "eyebrow" is the small uppercase wide-tracking label sitting above a section headline (e.g. `FOUR COLORWAYS`, `SELECTED WORK`, `THE HARDWARE`, `Git-native task management`). Typical CSS signature: `text-[11px] uppercase tracking-[0.18em]`, `font-mono text-[10.5px] uppercase tracking-[0.22em]`. Every AI-built site puts an eyebrow above EVERY section header, producing the same templated rhythm. Hard rule: + - **Maximum 1 eyebrow per 3 sections.** Hero counts as 1. So a page with 9 sections may use at most 3 eyebrows total. + - If section A has an eyebrow, the next 2 sections cannot have one. + - **Pre-Flight Check is mechanical:** count instances of `uppercase tracking` (or similar small-caps mono labels above headlines) across all section components. If count > ceil(sectionCount / 3), the output fails. + - **What to do instead of an eyebrow:** drop it entirely. The headline alone is enough. If you need to categorize a section, the section's location on the page already categorizes it; no label needed. +* **SPLIT-HEADER BAN (mandatory).** The pattern "left big headline + right small explainer paragraph" as a section header (left col-span-7/8, right col-span-4/5 with a small body paragraph floating in the right column) is **banned as default**. Sections should have ONE focused message. If you genuinely need both a headline and an explainer paragraph, stack them vertically (headline on top, body below, max-width 65ch). Reach for the split-header pattern only when there is a real compositional reason (e.g., the right column carries a visual or interactive element, not just filler text). +* **Bento Background Diversity (mandatory).** Bento and feature-grid sections cannot be 6 white-on-white cards with text inside. At least 2-3 cells in any multi-cell grid need real visual variation: a real image, a brand-appropriate gradient (not AI-purple), a pattern, a tinted background. A cream-on-cream bento with only typography inside reads as boring AI default, even when the rest of the page is good. +* **Mobile collapse must be explicit per section.** For every multi-column layout, declare the `< 768px` fallback in the same component. No "it'll work, Tailwind handles it" assumptions. + +### 4.8 Image & Visual Asset Strategy + +Landing pages and portfolios are **visual products**. Text-only pages with fake-screenshot divs are slop. + +**Priority order for visual assets:** +1. **Image-generation tool first.** If ANY image-gen tool is available in the environment (`generate_image`, MCP image tool, IDE-integrated gen, OpenAI image tools, etc.) you MUST use it to create section-specific assets: hero photography, product shots, texture backgrounds, mood images. Generate at the right aspect ratio for the section. Do not skip this step because hand-rolled CSS feels faster. +2. **Real web images second.** When no gen tool is available, use real photography sources. Acceptable defaults: + * `https://picsum.photos/seed/{descriptive-seed}/{w}/{h}` for placeholder photography (seed should describe the section, e.g. `marrow-cookware-kitchen`) + * Actual stock or brand URLs when the brief provides them + * Open-license sources (Unsplash via direct URL, Pexels) if explicitly allowed +3. **Last resort: tell the user.** If neither is possible, do NOT fill the page with hand-rolled SVG illustrations or div-based "fake screenshots." Instead, leave clearly-labeled placeholder slots (``) and at the end of the response say: *"This page needs real images at: \[list of placements\]. Please generate or provide them."* + +**Even minimalist sites need real images.** A pure-text page is not minimalism. It is incomplete work. Even an editorial Linear-style site needs at least 2-3 real images (hero, one product/lifestyle shot, one supporting image). Generate B&W minimalist photography if the brief is restrained; do not skip images entirely because the dial is low. + +**Real company logos for social proof.** When the brief calls for a "Trusted by / Used by / Customers" logo wall, do NOT default to plain text wordmarks (`Acme Co` styled in a row). Use real SVG logos: +* **Source: Simple Icons** (`https://cdn.simpleicons.org/{slug}/ffffff` for any color, or `simple-icons` npm package). Covers most known brands. +* **Alternative: devicon** for tech-stack logos (`@svgr/cli` or CDN). +* **Make-up the brand name? Then make-up an SVG mark too.** Generate a simple monogram (one letter in a circle, two-letter ligature, abstract glyph) rendered as an inline `` matching the page style. Plain text wordmarks for invented brand names look generic. +* **Always** ensure logos render in both light and dark mode (white-on-dark, black-on-light, or single-color theme variable). +* **LOGO-ONLY rule (mandatory):** logo wall = logos and nothing else. Do NOT print industry / category labels below each logo (no `Vercel` + `hosting` underneath, no `Stripe` + `payments`, no `Cloudflare` + `infra`). The logo is the credibility, the label adds nothing the user does not already know. Optional: brand name as alt-text for screen readers, optional link to the brand's site. That is it. + +**Hand-rolled illustrations:** +* SVG icons from libraries: fine (see Section 3.C). +* Hand-rolled decorative SVGs (custom illustrations, logos, marks): **strongly discouraged**, never as default. Acceptable only when: + - The brief explicitly calls for it ("draw me an SVG logo") + - It's a single, simple geometric mark (a square, a circle, a wordmark in display type) + - You're confident in the output quality + +**Div-based fake screenshots are banned.** A "hand-built product preview" rendered with `
` rectangles, fake task lists, fake dashboards, fake terminal windows is a Tell. If you need to show a product: +* Use a real screenshot URL if one exists +* Generate one via image tool +* Use a real component preview (an actual mini-version of the UI inside the page) +* Or skip the preview entirely and use editorial photography + +**Hero needs a real visual.** Text + gradient blob is not a hero - it's a placeholder. + +### 4.9 Content Density + +Landing pages live on the **first impression**, not the full read. Cut ruthlessly. + +* **Default content shape per section:** short headline (≤ 8 words) + short sub-paragraph (≤ 25 words) + one visual asset OR one CTA. Anything more must be justified by the section's job. +* **No data-dump sections.** A 20-row publication table, a 30-row award list, a giant pricing matrix on a marketing page = wrong layout. Use: + - Top 3-5 highlights + "View full list" link + - Marquee / carousel for breadth + - Different page entirely if the data is the product +* **Long lists need a different UI component, not a longer list.** Default `
    ` with bullets / `divide-y` rows is the lazy choice. If you have > 5 items, reach for one of these instead: + - 2-column split with grouped items + - Card grid with image + label per item + - Tabs / accordion if items are categorisable + - Horizontal scroll-snap pills + - Carousel for breadth-heavy lists (testimonials, logos, capabilities) + - Marquee for "lots-of-things-that-don't-need-individual-attention" + A spec sheet with 10 rows + a hairline under every row is the WORST default. Either group rows into 2-3 chunks with sparse dividers, or move to a card-per-spec layout. +* **Spec sheets specifically (the Marrow-cookware pattern).** A long product specification table with `border-b` on every row is the AI default for cookware / hardware / apparel / artisan-goods briefs. Banned. Concrete alternatives: + - **2-col card grid:** each spec gets its own card with the spec name, the value (large display number), and a one-line "why it matters" body. Cards arranged 2-col on desktop, 1-col mobile. + - **Scroll-snap horizontal pills:** each spec is a pill, user can flick through. + - **Grouped chunks:** group 10 specs into 3 logical clusters (e.g. "Materials", "Cooking", "Warranty"), each cluster gets ONE soft divider and a cluster heading. + - **Featured-vs-rest:** 3-4 hero specs visualised as large display tiles, the rest collapsed under a "View full specifications" disclosure. + +* **COPY SELF-AUDIT (mandatory before ship):** Before declaring any task done, re-read every visible string on the page (headlines, subheads, eyebrows, button labels, body copy, captions, alt text, footer text, error messages). Flag any string that is: + - **Grammatically broken** ("free on its past", "two plans but one is honest", "to put it on the table" out of context) + - **Has unclear referents** ("we plan to stay that way" without prior context) + - **Sounds like AI hallucination** (cute-but-wrong wordplay, forced metaphors that don't track, "elegant nothing" phrases) + - **Reads like an LLM trying to sound thoughtful** (passive-aggressive humility, fake-craftsman labels, mock-poetic micro-meta) + Rewrite every flagged string. If unsure whether a string makes sense, replace it with a plain functional sentence. AI-generated cute copy is worse than boring copy. +* **Fake-precise numbers are flagged.** Numbers like `92%`, `4.1×`, `48k`, `5.8 mm`, `13.4 lb` either: + - Come from real data (brief, brand guidelines, public metrics) - fine + - Are explicitly labeled as mock (``, "example", "sample data") - fine + - Are AI-invented spec aesthetics - banned. Don't fake engineering precision the brand doesn't claim. +* **One copy register per page.** Don't mix technical mono ("47 tasks · 0.6 ctx-switches/day"), editorial prose, and marketing punch in the same composition unless the brand voice explicitly calls for it. + +### 4.10 Quotes & Testimonials + +* **Max 3 lines** of quote body. Never 6. If the original quote is longer → cut it. A landing-page quote is a snippet, not the full review. +* For very small font sizes (e.g. footer-style testimonials), the line cap can stretch slightly. Spirit: "fits in a glance." +* **No em-dashes inside the quote text** as design flourish (long pauses, kinetic em-dashes, em-dash-bullets). See Section 9.G - em-dash is completely banned. +* Attribution: name + role + (optionally) company. Never name only ("- Sarah"). +* Quote marks: use real typographic quotes ( " " ) or none at all. Not straight ASCII ( " ). + +### 4.11 Page Theme Lock (Light / Dark Mode Consistency) + +The page has ONE theme. Sections do not invert. + +* If the page is dark mode, ALL sections are dark mode. No light-mode-warm-paper section sandwiched between dark sections (or vice versa). The user must not feel they walked into a different website mid-scroll. +* The exception: if the brief explicitly calls for a "Color Block Story" or "Theme Switch on Scroll" device AND that is a deliberate composition (one full theme switch with a strong transition, not random alternation), it is allowed once per page. +* Default behaviour: pick light, dark, or auto (`prefers-color-scheme`) at the page level and lock it. Section-level background tints within the same theme family are fine (`bg-zinc-950` next to `bg-zinc-900`); flipping to `bg-amber-50` in the middle of a `bg-zinc-950` page is broken. +* When using a design system with built-in theming (Radix Themes, shadcn/ui with ``), set the theme ONCE in `layout.tsx` or the page root. Do not let individual sections override. + +--- + +## 5. CONTEXT-AWARE PROACTIVITY + +These are tools, not defaults. Use them when the design read calls for them. **None of these fire automatically.** + +* **Liquid Glass / Glassmorphism:** Appropriate for premium consumer, Apple-adjacent, luxury brand, or media-overlay vibes. Inappropriate for dashboards, public-sector, or "boring B2B." When used, go beyond `backdrop-blur`: add a 1px inner border (`border-white/10`) and a subtle inner shadow (`shadow-[inset_0_1px_0_rgba(255,255,255,0.1)]`) for physical edge refraction. Provide a solid-fill fallback under `prefers-reduced-transparency`. +* **Magnetic Micro-physics:** Use when `MOTION_INTENSITY > 5` AND the brief reads premium / playful / agency. Implement EXCLUSIVELY with Motion's `useMotionValue` / `useTransform` outside the React render cycle. Never `useState`. See Section 3.B. +* **Perpetual Micro-Interactions** (Pulse, Typewriter, Float, Shimmer, Carousel): Use when `MOTION_INTENSITY > 5` AND the section actively benefits from motion (status indicators, live feeds, AI-feel). **Not every card needs an infinite loop.** If a section is informational, leave it still. Apply Spring Physics (`type: "spring", stiffness: 100, damping: 20`) - no linear easing. +* **"Motion claimed, motion shown."** If `MOTION_INTENSITY > 4`, the page must actually move: entry transitions on hero, scroll-reveal on key sections, hover physics on CTAs, at minimum. A static page that claims `MOTION_INTENSITY: 7` is broken. Conversely, if you cannot ship working motion in the available scope, drop the dial to 3 and ship a clean static page. Never half-build motion that breaks (cut-off ScrollTriggers, jumpy enters, missing cleanups). +* **MOTION MUST BE MOTIVATED (mandatory).** Before adding any animation, ask: "what does this animation communicate?" Valid answers: hierarchy (drawing attention to the right thing), storytelling (revealing content in sequence that matches a narrative), feedback (acknowledging a user action), state transition (showing something changed). Invalid answer: "it looked cool". GSAP everywhere because GSAP is available is amateur. Each ScrollTrigger, each marquee, each pinned section needs a reason. If you cannot articulate the reason in one sentence, drop the animation. +* **MARQUEE MAX-ONE-PER-PAGE (mandatory).** Horizontal scrolling text marquees ("logos endlessly scrolling", "manifesto scrolling sideways", "kinetic word strip") are appropriate at most ONCE per page. Two or more marquees on the same page reads as lazy filler. Pick the one section where the marquee actually serves the content; the others get a different layout. +* **GSAP Sticky-Stack Pattern (when scroll-stack is used).** A "card stack on scroll" must be a REAL sticky-stack, not a sequential reveal list. See Section 5.A below for the canonical code skeleton. Common failure: trigger fires halfway through scroll instead of pinning at viewport top. Fix: `start: "top top"` not `start: "top center"` or `"top 80%"`. +* **GSAP Horizontal-Pan Pattern (when horizontal scroll-hijack is used).** See Section 5.B below for the canonical skeleton. Common failure: animation starts before the section is pinned, so the user sees half a slide. Same fix: `start: "top top"`, pin the wrapper, scrub the inner track. + +### 5.A Sticky-Stack - Canonical Skeleton + +```tsx +"use client"; +import { useRef, useEffect } from "react"; +import { gsap } from "gsap"; +import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger"; +import { useReducedMotion } from "motion/react"; + +gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger); + +export function StickyStack({ cards }: { cards: React.ReactNode[] }) { + const ref = useRef(null); + const reduce = useReducedMotion(); + + useEffect(() => { + if (reduce || !ref.current) return; + const ctx = gsap.context(() => { + const cardEls = gsap.utils.toArray(".stack-card"); + cardEls.forEach((card, i) => { + if (i === cardEls.length - 1) return; + ScrollTrigger.create({ + trigger: card, + start: "top top", // pin at viewport top + endTrigger: cardEls[cardEls.length - 1], + end: "top top", + pin: true, + pinSpacing: false, + }); + gsap.to(card, { + scale: 0.92, + opacity: 0.55, + ease: "none", + scrollTrigger: { + trigger: cardEls[i + 1], + start: "top bottom", + end: "top top", + scrub: true, + }, + }); + }); + }, ref); + return () => ctx.revert(); + }, [reduce]); + + return ( +
    + {cards.map((card, i) => ( +
    + {card} +
    + ))} +
    + ); +} +``` + +Critical points: `start: "top top"`, `pin: true`, every card except the last is pinned, the scale/opacity transform is driven by the NEXT card's scroll trigger (so previous card shrinks as next one arrives). + +### 5.B Horizontal-Pan - Canonical Skeleton + +```tsx +"use client"; +import { useRef, useEffect } from "react"; +import { gsap } from "gsap"; +import { ScrollTrigger } from "gsap/ScrollTrigger"; +import { useReducedMotion } from "motion/react"; + +gsap.registerPlugin(ScrollTrigger); + +export function HorizontalPan({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { + const wrap = useRef(null); + const track = useRef(null); + const reduce = useReducedMotion(); + + useEffect(() => { + if (reduce || !wrap.current || !track.current) return; + const ctx = gsap.context(() => { + const distance = track.current!.scrollWidth - window.innerWidth; + gsap.to(track.current, { + x: -distance, + ease: "none", + scrollTrigger: { + trigger: wrap.current, + start: "top top", // pin starts when section top hits viewport top + end: () => `+=${distance}`, // scroll distance = track width minus viewport + pin: true, + scrub: 1, + invalidateOnRefresh: true, + }, + }); + }, wrap); + return () => ctx.revert(); + }, [reduce]); + + return ( +
    +
    + {children} +
    +
    + ); +} +``` + +Critical points: `start: "top top"`, `pin: true`, `end: "+=${distance}"` (scroll length = horizontal travel needed), `scrub: 1`. The wrapper is pinned, the inner track slides horizontally as the user scrolls vertically. + +### 5.C Scroll-Reveal Stagger - Canonical Skeleton (lighter alternative) + +For simple "items appear as they enter viewport" (no pinning), prefer Motion's `whileInView` over GSAP - lighter, no ScrollTrigger needed: + +```tsx +"use client"; +import { motion, useReducedMotion } from "motion/react"; + +export function RevealStagger({ items }: { items: string[] }) { + const reduce = useReducedMotion(); + return ( +
      + {items.map((item, i) => ( + + {item} + + ))} +
    + ); +} +``` + +Use this for: feature lists, testimonial grids, logo walls, anything that just needs "enter on scroll." Save GSAP for actual pin/scrub work. + +### 5.D Forbidden Animation Patterns + +* **`window.addEventListener("scroll", ...)`** is banned. It runs on every scroll frame, jank-prone, no batching. Use Motion's `useScroll()`, GSAP's `ScrollTrigger`, IntersectionObserver, or CSS `scroll-driven animations` (`animation-timeline: view()`). +* **Custom scroll progress calculations using `window.scrollY`** in React state. Same reason. Re-renders on every frame. +* **`requestAnimationFrame` loops that touch React state.** Use motion values (`useMotionValue` + `useTransform`) instead. +* **Layout Transitions:** Use Motion's `layout` and `layoutId` props for visible state changes (re-ordering lists, expanding modals, shared elements between routes). Do not wrap static content in `layout` props "for safety" - it costs measurement work. +* **Staggered Orchestration:** Use `staggerChildren` (Motion) or CSS cascade (`animation-delay: calc(var(--index) * 100ms)`) for reveal moments where sequence matters. For `staggerChildren`, parent (`variants`) and children MUST share the same Client Component tree. + +--- + +## 6. PERFORMANCE & ACCESSIBILITY GUARDRAILS + +### 6.A Hardware Acceleration +* Animate ONLY `transform` and `opacity`. Never animate `top`, `left`, `width`, `height`. +* Use `will-change: transform` sparingly - only on elements that will actually animate. + +### 6.B Reduced Motion (mandatory) +* **Any motion above `MOTION_INTENSITY > 3` MUST honor `prefers-reduced-motion`.** This is non-negotiable. +* In Motion: wrap with `useReducedMotion()` and degrade to static. +* In CSS: gate animations behind `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference)` or provide an override block under `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` that disables. +* Infinite loops, parallax, scroll-hijack, and magnetic physics MUST collapse to static / instant under reduced motion. + +### 6.C Dark Mode (mandatory for any consumer-facing page) +* Design for **both modes from the start**. Never ship light-only or dark-only without explicit user instruction. +* Use Tailwind `dark:` variant OR CSS variables for tokens. Pick one strategy per project. +* **Do not prescribe specific dark-mode colors here.** The brief decides. Maintain visual hierarchy, brand identity, and WCAG AA contrast (AAA for body) across both modes. +* Respect `prefers-color-scheme: dark`. Default to system preference unless the brand insists on one mode. + +### 6.D Core Web Vitals Targets +* **LCP** < 2.5s. Hero image must be `next/image priority` or preloaded. +* **INP** < 200ms. Heavy work off main thread. +* **CLS** < 0.1. Reserve space for images, fonts, embeds. +* Run Lighthouse before declaring a page done. + +### 6.E DOM Cost +* Apply grain / noise filters EXCLUSIVELY to fixed, `pointer-events-none` pseudo-elements (e.g., `fixed inset-0 z-[60] pointer-events-none`). NEVER on scrolling containers - continuous GPU repaints destroy mobile FPS. +* Be aware of bundle size. Motion is not tiny. Three.js is large. Lazy-load anything that's not above-the-fold. + +### 6.F Z-Index Restraint +NEVER spam arbitrary `z-50` or `z-10`. Use z-index strictly for systemic layer contexts (sticky navbars, modals, overlays, grain). Document the z-index scale in a project constants file. + +--- + +## 7. DIAL DEFINITIONS (Technical Reference) + +### DESIGN_VARIANCE (Level 1-10) +* **1-3 (Predictable):** Symmetrical CSS Grid (12-col, equal fr-units), equal paddings, centered alignment. +* **4-7 (Offset):** `margin-top: -2rem` overlaps, varied image aspect ratios (4:3 next to 16:9), left-aligned headers over center-aligned data. +* **8-10 (Asymmetric):** Masonry layouts, CSS Grid with fractional units (`grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr 1fr`), massive empty zones (`padding-left: 20vw`). +* **MOBILE OVERRIDE:** For levels 4-10, asymmetric layouts above `md:` MUST collapse to strict single-column (`w-full`, `px-4`, `py-8`) on viewports `< 768px`. + +### MOTION_INTENSITY (Level 1-10) +* **1-3 (Static):** No automatic animations. CSS `:hover` and `:active` states only. `prefers-reduced-motion` is the default mode anyway. +* **4-7 (Fluid CSS):** `transition: all 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`. `animation-delay` cascades for load-ins. Focus on `transform` and `opacity`. +* **8-10 (Advanced Choreography):** Complex scroll-triggered reveals, parallax, scroll-driven animation (CSS `animation-timeline` or GSAP ScrollTrigger). Use Motion hooks. **NEVER use `window.addEventListener('scroll')`** - it is a hard ban, not a "prefer-not." See Section 5.D for the allowed alternatives. + +### VISUAL_DENSITY (Level 1-10) +* **1-3 (Art Gallery):** Lots of white space. Huge section gaps (`py-32` to `py-48`). Expensive, clean. +* **4-7 (Daily App):** Standard web app spacing (`py-16` to `py-24`). +* **8-10 (Cockpit):** Tight paddings. No card boxes; 1px lines separate data. Mandatory: `font-mono` for all numbers. + +--- + +## 8. DARK MODE PROTOCOL + +Dual-mode by default. Never assume light-only unless the brief is print-emulating editorial. + +### 8.A Token Strategy (pick one, stick to it) +* **Tailwind `dark:` variant** (default for utility-first projects): every color utility paired with its dark variant (`bg-white dark:bg-zinc-950`, `text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100`). +* **CSS variables** (for shadcn/ui, Radix Themes, or component libraries with theming): define semantic tokens (`--surface`, `--surface-elevated`, `--text-primary`, `--accent`) and swap values under `[data-theme="dark"]` or `@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)`. + +### 8.B Do Not Prescribe Specific Colors Here +The brief and brand decide. This skill enforces only: +* **Contrast** - WCAG AA minimum for body text, AAA target for hero copy. +* **Hierarchy parity** - visual hierarchy that works in light must work in dark. If a CTA pops in light, it pops in dark. +* **Brand fidelity** - primary brand color stays recognisable. Don't desaturate the brand into a dark mode. +* **No pure `#000000` and no pure `#ffffff`** - use off-black (zinc-950, near-black warm gray) and off-white. Pure values kill depth. + +### 8.C Default Mode +Respect `prefers-color-scheme` unless the brand insists. Add a manual toggle if either mode would lose key brand expression. + +### 8.D Test in Both Modes Before Finishing +Open the page in both modes during development. Do not ship a page you've only seen in one mode. + +--- + +## 9. AI TELLS (Forbidden Patterns) + +Avoid these signatures unless the brief explicitly asks for them. + +### 9.A Visual & CSS +* **NO neon / outer glows** by default. Use inner borders or subtle tinted shadows. +* **NO pure black (`#000000`).** Off-black, zinc-950, or charcoal. +* **NO oversaturated accents.** Desaturate to blend with neutrals. +* **NO excessive gradient text** for large headers. +* **NO custom mouse cursors.** Outdated, accessibility-hostile, perf-hostile. + +### 9.B Typography +* **AVOID Inter as default.** See Section 4.1. Override path exists. +* **NO oversized H1s** that just scream. Control hierarchy with weight + color, not raw scale. +* **Serif constraints:** Serif for editorial / luxury / publication. Not for dashboards. + +### 9.C Layout & Spacing +* **Mathematically perfect** padding and margins. No floating elements with awkward gaps. +* **NO 3-column equal feature cards.** The generic "three identical cards horizontally" feature row is banned. Use 2-column zig-zag, asymmetric grid, scroll-pinned, or horizontal-scroll alternative. + +### 9.D Content & Data ("Jane Doe" Effect) +* **NO generic names.** "John Doe", "Sarah Chan", "Jack Su" → use creative, realistic, locale-appropriate names. +* **NO generic avatars.** No SVG "egg" or Lucide user icons → use believable photo placeholders or specific styling. +* **NO fake-perfect numbers.** Avoid `99.99%`, `50%`, `1234567`. Use organic, messy data (`47.2%`, `+1 (312) 847-1928`). +* **NO startup-slop brand names.** "Acme", "Nexus", "SmartFlow", "Cloudly" → invent contextual, premium names that sound real. +* **NO filler verbs.** "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Revolutionize" → concrete verbs only. + +### 9.E External Resources & Components +* **NO hand-rolled SVG icons.** Use Phosphor / HugeIcons / Radix / Tabler. Lucide on explicit request only. +* **Hand-rolled decorative SVGs strongly discouraged** as default (see Section 4.8). +* **NO div-based fake screenshots.** Never build a fake product UI out of `
    ` rectangles to simulate a screenshot. Use real images, generated images, or skip the preview. +* **NO broken Unsplash links.** Use `https://picsum.photos/seed/{descriptive-string}/{w}/{h}`, or generated photo placeholders, or actual assets. +* **shadcn/ui customization:** Allowed, but NEVER in default state. Customize radii, colors, shadows, typography to the project aesthetic. +* **Production-Ready Cleanliness:** Code visually clean, memorable, meticulously refined. + +### 9.F Production-Test Tells (banned outright) + +These patterns came out of real LLM-generated landing-page tests. They are the signatures the model defaults to when it tries to "look designed." Treat them as hard bans unless the brief explicitly calls for one. + +**Hero & top-of-page** +* **NO version labels in the hero.** `V0.6`, `v2.0`, `BETA`, `INVITE-ONLY PREVIEW`, `EARLY ACCESS`, `ALPHA` - banned as default eyebrows. Only acceptable when the brief is explicitly about a product launch / preview status. +* **NO "Brand · No. 01"-style sub-eyebrows.** "Marrow · No. 01 · The 6-quart" type micro-meta lines. Skip them. + +**Section numbering & micro-labels** +* **NO section-number eyebrows.** `00 / INDEX`, `001 · Capabilities`, `002 · Featured commission`, `06 · how it works`, `05 · The honest table` - banned. Eyebrows should name the topic in plain language, not enumerate. +* **NO `01 / 4`-style pagination on images or bento tiles.** If the user can count, they don't need the label. +* **NO `Scroll · 001 Capabilities`-style scroll cues.** A simple arrow or "Scroll" is enough; no section-number prefix. +* **NO "Index of Work, 2018 - 2026"-style range labels** as eyebrows. Just say what the section is. + +**Separators & dots** +* **The middle-dot (`·`) is rationed.** Maximum 1 per line in metadata strips. Do NOT use it as the default separator for everything ("foo · bar · baz · qux · quux"). If you need a separator family, prefer line breaks, hairlines, or columns. +* **NO decorative colored status dots on every list/nav/badge.** A colored dot before "ONE Q4 SLOT OPEN" or before every nav link, or every task row - banned by default. Acceptable only when the dot conveys actual semantic state (a server status, an availability flag) and is used sparingly. + +**Em-dashes & typography flourishes** +* **NO em-dash (`—`) as a design element OR anywhere else.** See Section 9.G below for the complete, non-negotiable ban. The em-dash character is forbidden in headlines, eyebrows, pills, body copy, quotes, attribution, captions, button text, and alt text. Use the regular hyphen (`-`). +* **NO `
    `-broken-and-italicized headlines** as a default "design move." "for thirty\*years.*" type splits. Headlines should read naturally first, get clever only when the brief demands it. +* **NO vertical rotated text** ("INDEX OF WORK, 2018 - 2026" rotated 90°). Agency-portfolio cliché. Use it only when the brief is explicitly agency / Awwwards / experimental AND it serves a real composition purpose. +* **NO crosshair / hairline grid lines as decoration.** Vertical and horizontal lines drawn just to make the page "feel designed" - banned. Use them only when they organize real content. + +**Fake product previews** +* **NO div-based fake product UI in the hero** (fake task list, fake terminal, fake dashboard built from styled divs). It is the #1 LLM-design Tell. Use a real screenshot, a generated image, a real component preview, or none at all. +* **NO fake version footers** ("v0.6.2-rc.1", "last sync 4s ago · main") inside fake screenshots. Adds nothing, screams AI. + +**Marketing-copy Tells** +* **NO "Quietly in use at" / "Quietly trusted by"** social-proof headers. Use natural language: "Trusted by", "Used at", "Customers include", or skip the heading entirely if the logos speak. +* **NO "From the field" / "Field notes" / "Currently on the bench" / "On our desks" / "Loose plates" style poetic labels** on quote, blog, or sidebar sections. Reads as performative-craftsman. Use plain functional labels ("Testimonials", "Latest writing", "Now working on") or skip the label. +* **NO "We respect the French ones"-style** mock-humble industry-references in body copy. Cute and AI-y. +* **NO weather / locale strips** ("LIS 14:23 · 18°C") in headers/footers unless the brief is explicitly about a place / time-zone-distributed studio. +* **NO micro-meta-sentences under eyebrows.** Sentences like *"Each of these is a feature we ship today, not a roadmap promise. The list will stay short on purpose."* sitting under a section heading are clutter. Eyebrow + Headline + Body is enough. +* **NO generic step labels.** "Stage 1 / Stage 2 / Stage 3", "Step 1 / Step 2 / Step 3", "Phase 01 / Phase 02 / Phase 03", "Pass One / Pass Two / Pass Three". Banned. The actual step content is the label. If you must show progression, use the verb-noun directly ("Install", "Configure", "Ship") not "Stage 1: Install". + +**Pills, labels and version stamps** +* **NO pills/labels/tags overlaid on images.** No `` overlays on photos with tags like `Brand · 02`, `PLATE · BRAND`, `Field notes - journal`. Either let the image speak alone, or add a caption directly below (outside the image). +* **NO photo-credit captions as decoration.** Strings like `Field study no. 12 · Ines Caetano`, `Plate 03 · House archive`, `Frame XII · 35mm` under stock/picsum images are pretentious. Photo credit is allowed ONLY when there is a real photographer being credited for a real photo (with permission). Otherwise: skip the caption or use a one-line functional caption ("The 6-quart, in Sage."). +* **NO version footers on marketing pages.** Footer strings like `v1.4.2`, `Build 0048`, `last sync 4s ago · main` are CLI / devtool fixtures, not landing-page content. Banned on marketing/landing/portfolio pages. +* **NO "Reservation 412 of 800"-style live-stock counters** as decoration. Only if the brief is explicitly a limited-run waitlist with real data. + +**Decoration text strips** +* **NO decoration text strip at hero bottom.** Patterns like `BRAND. MOTION. SPATIAL.`, `TYPE / FORM / MOTION`, `DESIGN · BUILD · SHIP`, `ESTD. 2018 · LISBON · BRAND. MOTION. SPATIAL.` as a small mono-caps strip across the bottom of the hero are an agency-portfolio cliché. Banned by default. Only acceptable when the strip carries real, navigable links (sticky bottom nav) or real status info (cookie banner, build info on a docs site). +* **NO floating top-right sub-text in section headings.** Pattern: section has a giant left-aligned headline; in the top-right corner of the same section header there is a small explainer paragraph floating with no clear alignment to anything else. That floater is the Tell. Either put the sub-text directly under the headline, or build a clean 2-column header (left: headline, right: aligned body), but not a tiny corner paragraph. + +**Lists, dividers and scoring** +* **NO `border-t` + `border-b` on every row of a long list / spec table.** Pick one (bottom-border between rows OR top-border above the group) and use it sparsely. A 10-row spec table with hairlines under each row is the laziest layout - see Section 4.9 for alternative UI components. +* **NO scoring/progress bars with filled background tracks** as comparison visuals. If you need to show "X out of Y" comparisons, prefer a number + small icon, or a tiny inline bar WITHOUT a background track. Big filled `bg-zinc-200` tracks with a partial fill on top are dashboard-UI clutter on a landing page. + +**Locale, time, scroll cues** +* **Locale / city-name / time / weather strips are banned for 99% of briefs.** "Lisbon, working with founders" in the hero, "1200-690 Lisbon, Portugal" in the footer, "Lisbon 14:23 · 18°C" in the nav. These are agency-portfolio decoration tells. Allowed ONLY when: the brief explicitly describes a globally-distributed studio with timezone-relevant work, OR a travel-focused brand, OR a real-world physical venue. A single contact-address mention in the footer is fine; an atmospheric locale strip is not. +* **Scroll cues are banned.** `Scroll`, `↓ scroll`, `Scroll to explore`, `Scroll to walk through it`, animated mouse-wheel icons. If the user has not scrolled yet, they are looking at the hero. They know what scroll is. The bottom of the viewport does not need a label. +* **ZERO decorative status dots by default.** A coloured dot before nav items, before list rows, before badges, before status labels is a Tell. Only acceptable when conveying real semantic state (a live indicator on actual server status, a live availability flag) and limited to one per page section. + +### 9.G EM-DASH BAN (the single most-violated Tell) + +**Em-dash (`—`) is COMPLETELY banned.** It is the LLM's signature stylistic crutch and it is the #1 visual Tell in production tests. There is no "limited use" allowance, no "natural language frequency" allowance, no "in body copy is fine" allowance. None. + +* **Banned in headlines.** Use a period or a comma. +* **Banned in eyebrows / labels / pills / button text / image captions / nav items.** Replace with line breaks, columns, or hairlines. +* **Banned in body copy.** Restructure the sentence: two sentences with a period, OR a comma, OR parentheses, OR a colon. +* **Banned in quote attribution.** Use a normal hyphen with spaces (` - `) or a line break + smaller-weight name. +* **Banned in en-dash form too (`–`) when used as a separator.** Date ranges (`2018-2026`) use a hyphen. Number ranges (`€40-80k`) use a hyphen. + +The ONLY permitted dash characters on the page are: +* Regular hyphen `-` (for compound words, ranges, line dividers in markup) +* Minus sign in math (`-5°C`) + +If your output contains a single `—` or `–` anywhere visible to the user, the output fails the Pre-Flight Check and must be rewritten. + +This rule is non-negotiable. The agent has historically ignored em-dash limits when phrased as "use sparingly." The phrasing here is binary: zero em-dashes. + +--- + +## 10. REFERENCE VOCABULARY (Pattern Names the Agent Should Know) + +This is a vocabulary, not a library. The agent should KNOW these pattern names to communicate about them, design with them in mind, and reach for them when the design read calls for them. **Implementations and code sketches live in the Block Library (Section 12), which is populated iteratively.** + +### Hero Paradigms +* **Asymmetric Split Hero** - Text on one side, asset on the other, generous white space. +* **Editorial Manifesto Hero** - Large type, no asset, almost-poster. +* **Video / Media Mask Hero** - Type cut out as mask over video background. +* **Kinetic-Type Hero** - Animated typography as the primary visual. +* **Curtain-Reveal Hero** - Hero parts on scroll like a curtain. +* **Scroll-Pinned Hero** - Hero stays pinned while content scrolls behind. + +### Navigation & Menus +* **Mac OS Dock Magnification** - Edge nav, icons scale fluidly on hover. +* **Magnetic Button** - Pulls toward cursor. +* **Gooey Menu** - Sub-items detach like viscous liquid. +* **Dynamic Island** - Morphing pill for status / alerts. +* **Contextual Radial Menu** - Circular menu expanding at click point. +* **Floating Speed Dial** - FAB springing into curved secondary actions. +* **Mega Menu Reveal** - Full-screen dropdown, stagger-fade content. + +### Layout & Grids +* **Bento Grid** - Asymmetric tile grouping (Apple Control Center). +* **Masonry Layout** - Staggered grid, no fixed row height. +* **Chroma Grid** - Borders / tiles with subtle animating gradients. +* **Split-Screen Scroll** - Two halves sliding in opposite directions. +* **Sticky-Stack Sections** - Sections that pin and stack on scroll. + +### Cards & Containers +* **Parallax Tilt Card** - 3D tilt tracking mouse coordinates. +* **Spotlight Border Card** - Borders illuminate under cursor. +* **Glassmorphism Panel** - Frosted glass with inner refraction. +* **Holographic Foil Card** - Iridescent rainbow shift on hover. +* **Tinder Swipe Stack** - Physical card stack, swipe-away. +* **Morphing Modal** - Button expands into its own dialog. + +### Scroll Animations +* **Sticky Scroll Stack** - Cards stick and physically stack. +* **Horizontal Scroll Hijack** - Vertical scroll → horizontal pan. +* **Locomotive / Sequence Scroll** - Video / 3D sequence tied to scrollbar. +* **Zoom Parallax** - Central background image zooming on scroll. +* **Scroll Progress Path** - SVG line drawing along scroll. +* **Liquid Swipe Transition** - Page transition like viscous liquid. + +### Galleries & Media +* **Dome Gallery** - 3D panoramic gallery. +* **Coverflow Carousel** - 3D carousel with angled edges. +* **Drag-to-Pan Grid** - Boundless draggable canvas. +* **Accordion Image Slider** - Narrow strips expanding on hover. +* **Hover Image Trail** - Mouse leaves popping image trail. +* **Glitch Effect Image** - RGB-channel shift on hover. + +### Typography & Text +* **Kinetic Marquee** - Endless text bands reversing on scroll. +* **Text Mask Reveal** - Massive type as transparent window to video. +* **Text Scramble Effect** - Matrix-style decoding on load / hover. +* **Circular Text Path** - Text curving along spinning circle. +* **Gradient Stroke Animation** - Outlined text with running gradient. +* **Kinetic Typography Grid** - Letters dodging the cursor. + +### Micro-Interactions & Effects +* **Particle Explosion Button** - CTA shatters into particles on success. +* **Liquid Pull-to-Refresh** - Reload indicator like detaching droplets. +* **Skeleton Shimmer** - Shifting light reflection across placeholders. +* **Directional Hover-Aware Button** - Fill enters from cursor's exact side. +* **Ripple Click Effect** - Wave from click coordinates. +* **Animated SVG Line Drawing** - Vectors drawing themselves in real time. +* **Mesh Gradient Background** - Organic lava-lamp blobs. +* **Lens Blur Depth** - Background UI blurred to focus foreground action. + +### Animation Library Choice +* **Motion (`motion/react`)** - default for UI / Bento / state-change motion. +* **GSAP + ScrollTrigger** - for full-page scrolltelling and scroll hijacks. Isolate in dedicated leaf components with `useEffect` cleanup. +* **Three.js / WebGL** - for canvas backgrounds and 3D scenes. Same isolation rule. +* **NEVER mix GSAP / Three.js with Motion in the same component tree.** They fight over the same frames. + +--- + +## 11. REDESIGN PROTOCOL + +This skill handles **greenfield builds AND redesigns**. Misclassifying the mode is the single biggest source of bad redesign output. + +### 11.A Detect the Mode (first action) +* **Greenfield** - no existing site, or full overhaul approved. Dial baseline from Section 1. +* **Redesign - Preserve** - modernise without breaking the brand. Audit first, extract brand tokens, evolve gradually. +* **Redesign - Overhaul** - new visual language on top of existing content. Treat as greenfield for visuals; preserve content and IA. + +If ambiguous, ask **once**: *"Should this redesign preserve the existing brand, or are we starting visually from scratch?"* + +### 11.B Audit Before Touching +Document the current state before proposing changes: +* **Brand tokens** - primary / accent colors, type stack, logo treatment, radii. +* **Information architecture** - page tree, primary nav, key conversion paths. +* **Content blocks** - what exists, what's doing work, what's filler. +* **Patterns to preserve** - signature interactions, recognisable hero, copy voice. +* **Patterns to retire** - AI-slop tells, broken layouts, dead links, generic stock imagery, perf traps. +* **Dial reading of the existing site** - infer current `DESIGN_VARIANCE` / `MOTION_INTENSITY` / `VISUAL_DENSITY`. That's your starting point, not the baseline. +* **SEO baseline** - current ranking pages, meta titles, structured data, OG cards. **SEO migration is the #1 redesign risk.** + +### 11.C Preservation Rules +* **Do not change information architecture** unless asked. Keep page slugs, anchor IDs, primary nav labels stable for SEO and muscle memory. +* **Extract brand colors before applying Section 4.2.** A brand that is already purple stays purple - apply the LILA RULE's override. +* **Preserve copy voice** unless asked for a rewrite. Visual modernisation ≠ content rewrite. +* **Honor existing accessibility wins.** Do not regress focus states, alt text, keyboard nav, contrast. +* **Respect existing analytics events.** Do not rename buttons, form fields, section IDs that downstream tracking depends on. + +### 11.D Modernisation Levers (priority order) +Apply in order - stop when the brief is satisfied: +1. **Typography refresh** - biggest visual lift per unit of risk. +2. **Spacing & rhythm** - increase section padding, fix vertical rhythm. +3. **Color recalibration** - desaturate, unify neutrals, keep brand accent. +4. **Motion layer** - add `MOTION_INTENSITY`-appropriate micro-interactions to existing components. +5. **Hero & key-section recomposition** - restructure top-of-funnel using Section 10 vocabulary. +6. **Full block replacement** - only when the existing block is unsalvageable. + +### 11.E Decision Tree: Targeted Evolution vs Full Redesign +* IA, content, and SEO sound → **targeted evolution** (Levers 1-4). ~70% of value at ~40% of risk. +* Visual debt is structural (broken IA, no design system, broken mobile) → **full redesign** with strict content preservation. +* Brand itself is changing → **greenfield**. + +### 11.F What Never Changes Silently +Never modify without explicit user approval: +* URL structure / route slugs. +* Primary nav labels. +* Form field names or order (breaks analytics + autofill). +* Brand logo or wordmark. +* Existing legal / consent / cookie copy. + +--- + +## 12. THE BLOCK LIBRARY (Contract - Implementations Land Here Iteratively) + +The Reference Vocabulary (Section 10) names patterns. The Block Library implements them with real props, real motion specs, and real code sketches. + +**Status:** schema defined here. Blocks will be added iteratively.

OUT OF SCOPE + +This skill is NOT for: +* Dashboards / dense product UI / admin panels (use Fluent, Carbon, Atlassian, or Polaris from Section 2.A). +* Data tables (use TanStack Table or AG Grid). +* Multi-step forms / wizards (use Form-specific patterns; this skill won't make them better). +* Code editors (use Monaco / CodeMirror with their official skinning). +* Native mobile (use Apple HIG / Material directly). +* Realtime collab UIs (presence, cursors, OT-aware - different problem class). + +If the brief is one of the above, **say so explicitly**, point to the right tool, and only apply this skill's marketing-page / about-page / landing-page parts to the surfaces where they apply. + +--- + +## 14.

Enforces Python-driven true randomization for layout variance, strict AIDA page structure, wide editorial typography (bans 6-line wraps), gapless bento grids, strict GSAP ScrollTriggers (pinning, stacking, scrubbing), inline micro-images, and massive section spacing. +--- + +# CORE DIRECTIVE: AWWWARDS-LEVEL DESIGN ENGINEERING +You are an elite, award-winning frontend design engineer. Standard LLMs possess severe statistical biases: they generate massive 6-line wrapped headings by using narrow containers, leave ugly empty gaps in bento grids, use cheap meta-labels ("QUESTION 05", "SECTION 01"), output invisible button text, and endlessly repeat the same Left/Right layouts. + +Your goal is to aggressively break these defaults. Your outputs must be highly creative, perfectly spaced, motion-rich (GSAP), mathematically flawless in grid execution, and heavily rely on varied, high-end assets. + +DO NOT USE EMOJIS IN YOUR CODE, COMMENTS, OR OUTPUT. Maintain strictly professional formatting. + +## 1. PYTHON-DRIVEN TRUE RANDOMIZATION (BREAKING THE LOOP) +LLMs are inherently lazy and always pick the first layout option. To prevent this, you MUST simulate a Python script execution in your `` before writing any UI code. +Use a deterministic seed (e.g., character count of the user prompt modulo math) to simulate `random.choice()` and strictly select: +- 1 Hero Architecture (from Section 3) +- 1 Typography Stack (Satoshi, Cabinet Grotesk, Outfit, or Geist. NEVER Inter) +- 3 Unique Component Architectures (from Section 6) +- 2 Advanced GSAP Paradigms (from Section 5) +You are forbidden from defaulting to the same UI twice. You must follow the exact output of your simulated Python randomization. + +## 2. AIDA STRUCTURE & SPACING +Every page MUST begin with a highly creative, premium Navigation Bar (e.g., floating glass pill, or minimal split nav). +The rest of the page MUST follow the AIDA framework: +- **Attention (Hero):** Cinematic, clean, wide layout. +- **Interest (Features/Bento):** High-density, mathematically perfect grid or interactive typographic components. +- **Desire (GSAP Scroll/Media):** Pinned sections, horizontal scroll, or text-reveals. +- **Action (Footer/Pricing):** Massive, high-contrast CTA and clean footer links. +**SPACING RULE:** Add huge vertical padding between all major sections (e.g., `py-32 md:py-48`). Sections must feel like distinct, cinematic chapters. Do not cramp elements together. + +## 3. HERO ARCHITECTURE & THE 2-LINE IRON RULE +The Hero must breathe. It must NOT be a narrow, 6-line text wall. +- **The Container Width Fix:** You MUST use ultra-wide containers for the H1 (e.g., `max-w-5xl`, `max-w-6xl`, `w-full`). Allow the words to flow horizontally. +- **The Line Limit:** The H1 MUST NEVER exceed 2 to 3 lines. 4, 5, or 6 lines is a catastrophic failure. Make the font size smaller (`clamp(3rem, 5vw, 5.5rem)`) and the container wider to ensure this. +- **Hero Layout Options (Randomly Assigned via Python):** + 1. *Cinematic Center (Highly Preferred):* Text perfectly centered, massive width. Below the text, exactly two high-contrast CTAs. Below the CTAs or behind everything, a stunning, full-bleed background image with a dark radial wash. + 2. *Artistic Asymmetry:* Text offset to the left, with an artistic floating image overlapping the text from the bottom right. + 3. *Editorial Split:* Text left, image right, but with massive negative space. +- **Button Contrast:** Buttons must be perfectly legible. Dark background = white text. Light background = dark text. Invisible text is a failure. +- **BANNED IN HERO:** Do NOT use arbitrary floating stamp/badge icons on the text. Do NOT use pill-tags under the hero. Do NOT place raw data/stats in the hero. + +## 4. THE GAPLESS BENTO GRID +- **Zero Empty Space in Grids:** LLMs notoriously leave blank, dead cells in CSS grids. You MUST use Tailwind's `grid-flow-dense` (`grid-auto-flow: dense`) on every Bento Grid. You must mathematically verify that your `col-span` and `row-span` values interlock perfectly. No grid shall have a missing corner or empty void. +- **Card Restraint:** Do not use too many cards. 3 to 5 highly intentional, beautifully styled cards are better than 8 messy ones. Fill them with a mix of large imagery, dense typography, or CSS effects. + +## 5. ADVANCED GSAP MOTION & HOVER PHYSICS +Static interfaces are strictly forbidden. You must write real GSAP (`@gsap/react`, `ScrollTrigger`). +- **Hover Physics:** Every clickable card and image must react. Use `group-hover:scale-105 transition-transform duration-700 ease-out` inside `overflow-hidden` containers. +- **Scroll Pinning (GSAP Split):** Pin a section title on the left (`ScrollTrigger pin: true`) while a gallery of elements scrolls upwards on the right side. +- **Image Scale & Fade Scroll:** Images must start small (`scale: 0.8`). As they scroll into view, they grow to `scale: 1.0`. As they scroll out of view, they smoothly darken and fade out (`opacity: 0.2`). +- **Scrubbing Text Reveals:** Opacity of central paragraph words starts at 0.1 and scrubs to 1.0 sequentially as the user scrolls. +- **Card Stacking:** Cards overlap and stack on top of each other dynamically from the bottom as the user scrolls down. + +## 6. COMPONENT ARSENAL & CREATIVITY +Select components from this arsenal based on your randomization: +- **Inline Typography Images:** Embed small, pill-shaped images directly INSIDE massive headings. Example: `I shape digital spaces.` +- **Horizontal Accordions:** Vertical slices that expand horizontally on hover to reveal content and imagery. +- **Infinite Marquee (Trusted Partners):** Smooth, continuously scrolling rows of authentic `@phosphor-icons/react` or large typography. +- **Feedback/Testimonial Carousel:** Clean, overlapping portrait images next to minimalist typography quotes, controlled by subtle arrows. + +## 7. CONTENT, ASSETS & STRICT BANS +- **The Meta-Label Ban:** BANNED FOREVER are labels like "SECTION 01", "SECTION 04", "QUESTION 05", "ABOUT US". Remove them entirely. They look cheap and unprofessional. +- **Image Context & Style:** Use `https://picsum.photos/seed/{keyword}/1920/1080` and match the keyword to the vibe. Apply sophisticated CSS filters (`grayscale`, `mix-blend-luminosity`, `opacity-90`, `contrast-125`) so they do not look like boring stock photos. +- **Creative Backgrounds:** Inject subtle, professional ambient design. Use deep radial blurs, grainy mesh gradients, or shifting dark overlays. Avoid flat, boring colors. +- **Horizontal Scroll Bug:** Wrap the entire page in `
      ` to absolutely prevent horizontal scrollbars caused by off-screen animations. + +## 8. MANDATORY PRE-FLIGHT +Before writing ANY React/UI code, you MUST output a `` block containing: +1. **Python RNG Execution:** Write a 3-line mock Python output showing the deterministic selection of your Hero Layout, Component Arsenal, GSAP animations, and Fonts based on the prompt's character count. +2. **AIDA Check:** Confirm the page contains Navigation, Attention (Hero), Interest (Bento), Desire (GSAP), Action (Footer). +3. **Hero Math Verification:** Explicitly state the `max-w` class you are applying to the H1 to GUARANTEE it will flow horizontally in 2-3 lines. Confirm NO stamp icons or spam tags exist. +4. **Bento Density Verification:** Prove mathematically that your grid columns and rows leave zero empty spaces and `grid-flow-dense` is applied. +5. **Label Sweep & Button Check:** Confirm no cheap meta-labels ("QUESTION 05") exist, and button text contrast is perfect. +Only output the UI code after this rigorous verification is complete. diff --git a/.agents/skills/high-end-visual-design/SKILL.md b/.agents/skills/high-end-visual-design/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4038f41e --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/high-end-visual-design/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,98 @@ +--- +name: high-end-visual-design +description: Teaches the AI to design like a high-end agency.

Symmetrical, boring 3-column Bootstrap-style grids without massive whitespace gaps. +- **Banned Motion:** Standard `linear` or `ease-in-out` transitions. Instant state changes without interpolation. + +## 3. THE CREATIVE VARIANCE ENGINE +Before writing code, silently "roll the dice" and select ONE combination from the following archetypes based on the prompt's context to ensure the output is uniquely tailored but always premium: + +### A. Vibe & Texture Archetypes (Pick 1) +1. **Ethereal Glass (SaaS / AI / Tech):** Deepest OLED black (`#050505`), radial mesh gradients (e.g., subtle glowing purple/emerald orbs) in the background. Vantablack cards with heavy `backdrop-blur-2xl` and pure white/10 hairlines. Wide geometric Grotesk typography. +2. **Editorial Luxury (Lifestyle / Real Estate / Agency):** Warm creams (`#FDFBF7`), muted sage, or deep espresso tones. High-contrast Variable Serif fonts for massive headings. Subtle CSS noise/film-grain overlay (`opacity-[0.03]`) for a physical paper feel. +3. **Soft Structuralism (Consumer / Health / Portfolio):** Silver-grey or completely white backgrounds. Massive bold Grotesk typography. Airy, floating components with unbelievably soft, highly diffused ambient shadows. + +### B. Layout Archetypes (Pick 1) +1. **The Asymmetrical Bento:** A masonry-like CSS Grid of varying card sizes (e.g., `col-span-8 row-span-2` next to stacked `col-span-4` cards) to break visual monotony. + - **Mobile Collapse:** Falls back to a single-column stack (`grid-cols-1`) with generous vertical gaps (`gap-6`). All `col-span` overrides reset to `col-span-1`. +2. **The Z-Axis Cascade:** Elements are stacked like physical cards, slightly overlapping each other with varying depths of field, some with a subtle `-2deg` or `3deg` rotation to break the digital grid. + - **Mobile Collapse:** Remove all rotations and negative-margin overlaps below `768px`. Stack vertically with standard spacing. Overlapping elements cause touch-target conflicts on mobile. +3. **The Editorial Split:** Massive typography on the left half (`w-1/2`), with interactive, scrollable horizontal image pills or staggered interactive cards on the right. + - **Mobile Collapse:** Converts to a full-width vertical stack (`w-full`). Typography block sits on top, interactive content flows below with horizontal scroll preserved if needed. + +**Mobile Override (Universal):** Any asymmetric layout above `md:` MUST aggressively fall back to `w-full`, `px-4`, `py-8` on viewports below `768px`. Never use `h-screen` for full-height sections — always use `min-h-[100dvh]` to prevent iOS Safari viewport jumping. + +## 4. HAPTIC MICRO-AESTHETICS (COMPONENT MASTERY) + +### A. The "Double-Bezel" (Doppelrand / Nested Architecture) +Never place a premium card, image, or container flatly on the background. They must look like physical, machined hardware (like a glass plate sitting in an aluminum tray) using nested enclosures. +- **Outer Shell:** A wrapper `div` with a subtle background (`bg-black/5` or `bg-white/5`), a hairline outer border (`ring-1 ring-black/5` or `border border-white/10`), a specific padding (e.g., `p-1.5` or `p-2`), and a large outer radius (`rounded-[2rem]`). +- **Inner Core:** The actual content container inside the shell. It has its own distinct background color, its own inner highlight (`shadow-[inset_0_1px_1px_rgba(255,255,255,0.15)]`), and a mathematically calculated smaller radius (e.g., `rounded-[calc(2rem-0.375rem)]`) for concentric curves. + +### B. Nested CTA & "Island" Button Architecture +- **Structure:** Primary interactive buttons must be fully rounded pills (`rounded-full`) with generous padding (`px-6 py-3`). +- **The "Button-in-Button" Trailing Icon:** If a button has an arrow (`↗`), it NEVER sits naked next to the text. It must be nested inside its own distinct circular wrapper (e.g., `w-8 h-8 rounded-full bg-black/5 dark:bg-white/10 flex items-center justify-center`) placed completely flush with the main button's right inner padding. + +### C. Spatial Rhythm & Tension +- **Macro-Whitespace:** Double your standard padding. Use `py-24` to `py-40` for sections. Allow the design to breathe heavily. +- **Eyebrow Tags:** Precede major H1/H2s with a microscopic, pill-shaped badge (`rounded-full px-3 py-1 text-[10px] uppercase tracking-[0.2em] font-medium`). + +## 5. MOTION CHOREOGRAPHY (FLUID DYNAMICS) +Never use default transitions. All motion must simulate real-world mass and spring physics. Use custom cubic-beziers (e.g., `transition-all duration-700 ease-[cubic-bezier(0.32,0.72,0,1)]`). + +### A. The "Fluid Island" Nav & Hamburger Reveal +- **Closed State:** The Navbar is a floating glass pill detached from the top (`mt-6`, `mx-auto`, `w-max`, `rounded-full`). +- **The Hamburger Morph:** On click, the 2 or 3 lines of the hamburger icon must fluidly rotate and translate to form a perfect 'X' (`rotate-45` and `-rotate-45` with absolute positioning), not just disappear. +- **The Modal Expansion:** The menu should open as a massive, screen-filling overlay with a heavy glass effect (`backdrop-blur-3xl bg-black/80` or `bg-white/80`). +- **Staggered Mask Reveal:** The navigation links inside the expanded state do not just appear. They fade in and slide up from an invisible box (`translate-y-12 opacity-0` to `translate-y-0 opacity-100`) with a staggered delay (`delay-100`, `delay-150`, `delay-200` for each item). + +### B. Magnetic Button Hover Physics +- Use the `group` utility. On hover, do not just change the background color. +- Scale the entire button down slightly (`active:scale-[0.98]`) to simulate physical pressing. +- The nested inner icon circle should translate diagonally (`group-hover:translate-x-1 group-hover:-translate-y-[1px]`) and scale up slightly (`scale-105`), creating internal kinetic tension. + +### C. Scroll Interpolation (Entry Animations) +- Elements never appear statically on load. As they enter the viewport, they must execute a gentle, heavy fade-up (`translate-y-16 blur-md opacity-0` resolving to `translate-y-0 blur-0 opacity-100` over 800ms+). +- For JavaScript-driven scroll reveals, use `IntersectionObserver` or Framer Motion's `whileInView`. Never use `window.addEventListener('scroll')` — it causes continuous reflows and kills mobile performance. + +## 6. PERFORMANCE GUARDRAILS +- **GPU-Safe Animation:** Never animate `top`, `left`, `width`, or `height`. Animate exclusively via `transform` and `opacity`. Use `will-change: transform` sparingly and only on elements that are actively animating. +- **Blur Constraints:** Apply `backdrop-blur` only to fixed or sticky elements (navbars, overlays). Never apply blur filters to scrolling containers or large content areas — this causes continuous GPU repaints and severe mobile frame drops. +- **Grain/Noise Overlays:** Apply noise textures exclusively to fixed, `pointer-events-none` pseudo-elements (`position: fixed; inset: 0; z-index: 50`). Never attach them to scrolling containers. +- **Z-Index Discipline:** Do not use arbitrary `z-50` or `z-[9999]`. Reserve z-indexes strictly for systemic layers: sticky nav, modals, overlays, tooltips. + +## 7. EXECUTION PROTOCOL +When generating UI code, follow this exact sequence: +1. **[SILENT THOUGHT]** Roll the Variance Engine (Section 3).

This discipline requires absolute mastery over rigid modular grids, extreme typographic scale contrast, purely utilitarian color palettes, and the programmatic simulation of analog degradation (halftones, CRT scanlines, bitmap dithering). The objective is to construct digital environments that project raw functionality, mechanical precision, and high data density, deliberately discarding conventional consumer UI patterns. + +## 2. Visual Archetypes +The design system operates by merging two distinct but highly compatible visual paradigms. **Pick ONE per project and commit to it. Do not alternate or mix both modes within the same interface.** + +### 2.1 Swiss Industrial Print +Derived from 1960s corporate identity systems and heavy machinery blueprints. +* **Characteristics:** High-contrast light modes (newsprint/off-white substrates). Reliance on monolithic, heavy sans-serif typography. Unforgiving structural grids outlined by visible dividing lines. Aggressive, asymmetric use of negative space punctuated by oversized, viewport-bleeding numerals or letterforms. Heavy use of primary red as an alert/accent color. + +### 2.2 Tactical Telemetry & CRT Terminal +Derived from classified military databases, legacy mainframes, and aerospace Heads-Up Displays (HUDs). +* **Characteristics:** Dark mode exclusivity. High-density tabular data presentation. Absolute dominance of monospaced typography. Integration of technical framing devices (ASCII brackets, crosshairs). Application of simulated hardware limitations (phosphor glow, scanlines, low bit-depth rendering). + +## 3. Typographic Architecture +Typography is the primary structural and decorative infrastructure. Imagery is secondary. The system demands extreme variance in scale, weight, and spacing. + +### 3.1 Macro-Typography (Structural Headers) +* **Classification:** Neo-Grotesque / Heavy Sans-Serif. +* **Optimal Web Fonts:** Neue Haas Grotesk (Black), Inter (Extra Bold/Black), Archivo Black, Roboto Flex (Heavy), Monument Extended. +* **Implementation Parameters:** + * **Scale:** Deployed at massive scales using fluid typography (e.g., `clamp(4rem, 10vw, 15rem)`). + * **Tracking (Letter-spacing):** Extremely tight, often negative (`-0.03em` to `-0.06em`), forcing glyphs to form solid architectural blocks. + * **Leading (Line-height):** Highly compressed (`0.85` to `0.95`). + * **Casing:** Exclusively uppercase for structural impact. + +### 3.2 Micro-Typography (Data & Telemetry) +* **Classification:** Monospace / Technical Sans. +* **Optimal Web Fonts:** JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, Space Mono, VT323, Courier Prime. +* **Implementation Parameters:** + * **Scale:** Fixed and small (`10px` to `14px` / `0.7rem` to `0.875rem`). + * **Tracking:** Generous (`0.05em` to `0.1em`) to simulate mechanical typewriter spacing or terminal matrices. + * **Leading:** Standard to tight (`1.2` to `1.4`). + * **Casing:** Exclusively uppercase. Used for all metadata, navigation, unit IDs, and coordinates. + +### 3.3 Textural Contrast (Artistic Disruption) +* **Classification:** High-Contrast Serif. +* **Optimal Web Fonts:** Playfair Display, EB Garamond, Times New Roman. +* **Implementation Parameters:** Used exceedingly sparingly. Must be subjected to heavy post-processing (halftone filters, 1-bit dithering) to degrade vector perfection and create textural juxtaposition against the clean sans-serifs. + +## 4. Color System +The color architecture is uncompromising. Gradients, soft drop shadows, and modern translucency are strictly prohibited. Colors simulate physical media or primitive emissive displays. + +**CRITICAL: Choose ONE substrate palette per project and use it consistently. Never mix light and dark substrates within the same interface.** + +### If Swiss Industrial Print (Light): +* **Background:** `#F4F4F0` or `#EAE8E3` (Matte, unbleached documentation paper). +* **Foreground:** `#050505` to `#111111` (Carbon Ink). +* **Accent:** `#E61919` or `#FF2A2A` (Aviation/Hazard Red). This is the ONLY accent color. Used for strike-throughs, thick structural dividing lines, or vital data highlights. + +### If Tactical Telemetry (Dark): +* **Background:** `#0A0A0A` or `#121212` (Deactivated CRT. Avoid pure `#000000`). +* **Foreground:** `#EAEAEA` (White phosphor). This is the primary text color. +* **Accent:** `#E61919` or `#FF2A2A` (Aviation/Hazard Red). Same red, same rules. +* **Terminal Green (`#4AF626`):** Optional. Use ONLY for a single specific UI element (e.g., one status indicator or one data readout) — never as a general text color. If it doesn't serve a clear purpose, omit it entirely. + +## 5. Layout and Spatial Engineering +The layout must appear mathematically engineered. It rejects conventional web padding in favor of visible compartmentalization. + +* **The Blueprint Grid:** Strict adherence to CSS Grid architectures. Elements do not float; they are anchored precisely to grid tracks and intersections. +* **Visible Compartmentalization:** Extensive utilization of solid borders (`1px` or `2px solid`) to delineate distinct zones of information. Horizontal rules (`
      `) frequently span the entire container width to segregate operational units. +* **Bimodal Density:** Layouts oscillate between extreme data density (tightly packed monospace metadata clustered together) and vast expanses of calculated negative space framing macro-typography. +* **Geometry:** Absolute rejection of `border-radius`. All corners must be exactly 90 degrees to enforce mechanical rigidity. + +## 6. UI Components and Symbology +Standard web UI conventions are replaced with utilitarian, industrial graphic elements. + +* **Syntax Decoration:** Utilization of ASCII characters to frame data points. + * *Framing:* `[ DELIVERY SYSTEMS ]`, `< RE-IND >` + * *Directional:* `>>>`, `///`, `\\\\` +* **Industrial Markers:** Prominent integration of registration (`®`), copyright (`©`), and trademark (`™`) symbols functioning as structural geometric elements rather than legal text. +* **Technical Assets:** Integration of crosshairs (`+`) at grid intersections, repeating vertical lines (barcodes), thick horizontal warning stripes, and randomized string data (e.g., `REV 2.6`, `UNIT / D-01`) to simulate active mechanical processes. + +## 7. Textural and Post-Processing Effects +To prevent the design from appearing purely digital, simulated analog degradation is engineered into the frontend via CSS and SVG filters. + +* **Halftone and 1-Bit Dithering:** Transforming continuous-tone images or large serif typography into dot-matrix patterns. Achieved via pre-processing or CSS `mix-blend-mode: multiply` overlays combined with SVG radial dot patterns. +* **CRT Scanlines:** For terminal interfaces, applying a `repeating-linear-gradient` to the background to simulate horizontal electron beam sweeps (e.g., `repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, transparent, transparent 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 4px)`). +* **Mechanical Noise:** A global, low-opacity SVG static/noise filter applied to the DOM root to introduce a unified physical grain across both dark and light modes. + +## 8. Web Engineering Directives +1. **Grid Determinism:** Utilize `display: grid; gap: 1px;` with contrasting parent/child background colors to generate mathematically perfect, razor-thin dividing lines without complex border declarations. +2. **Semantic Rigidity:** Construct the DOM using precise semantic tags (``, ``, ``, ``, `
      `) to accurately reflect the technical nature of the telemetry. +3. **Typography Clamping:** Implement CSS `clamp()` functions exclusively for macro-typography to ensure massive text scales aggressively while maintaining structural integrity across viewports. diff --git a/.agents/skills/minimalist-ui/SKILL.md b/.agents/skills/minimalist-ui/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..44ead27e --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/minimalist-ui/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,85 @@ +--- +name: minimalist-ui +description: Clean editorial-style interfaces.

Absolute Negative Constraints (Banned Elements) +The AI must strictly avoid the following generic web development defaults: +- DO NOT use the "Inter", "Roboto", or "Open Sans" typefaces. +- DO NOT use generic, thin-line icon libraries like "Lucide", "Feather", or standard "Heroicons". +- DO NOT use Tailwind's default heavy drop shadows (e.g., `shadow-md`, `shadow-lg`, `shadow-xl`). Shadows must be practically non-existent or heavily customized to be ultra-diffuse and low opacity (< 0.05). +- DO NOT use primary colored backgrounds for large elements or sections (e.g., no bright blue, green, or red hero sections). +- DO NOT use gradients, neon colors, or 3D glassmorphism (beyond subtle navbar blurs). +- DO NOT use `rounded-full` (pill shapes) for large containers, cards, or primary buttons. +- DO NOT use emojis anywhere in code, markup, text content, headings, or alt text. Replace with proper icons or clean SVG primitives. +- DO NOT use generic placeholder names like "John Doe", "Acme Corp", or "Lorem Ipsum". Use realistic, contextual content. +- DO NOT use AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Game-changer", "Delve". Write plain, specific language. + +## 3. Typographic Architecture +The interface must rely on extreme typographic contrast and premium font selection to establish an editorial feel. +- Primary Sans-Serif (Body, UI, Buttons): Use clean, geometric, or system-native fonts with character. Target: `font-family: 'SF Pro Display', 'Geist Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', 'Switzer', sans-serif`. +- Editorial Serif (Hero Headings & Quotes): Target: `font-family: 'Lyon Text', 'Newsreader', 'Playfair Display', 'Instrument Serif', serif`. Apply tight tracking (`letter-spacing: -0.02em` to `-0.04em`) and tight line-height (`1.1`). +- Monospace (Code, Keystrokes, Meta-data): Target: `font-family: 'Geist Mono', 'SF Mono', 'JetBrains Mono', monospace`. +- Text Colors: Body text must never be absolute black (`#000000`). Use off-black/charcoal (`#111111` or `#2F3437`) with a generous `line-height` of `1.6` for legibility. Secondary text should be muted gray (`#787774`). + +## 4. Color Palette (Warm Monochrome + Spot Pastels) +Color is a scarce resource, utilized only for semantic meaning or subtle accents. +- Canvas / Background: Pure White `#FFFFFF` or Warm Bone/Off-White `#F7F6F3` / `#FBFBFA`. +- Primary Surface (Cards): `#FFFFFF` or `#F9F9F8`. +- Structural Borders / Dividers: Ultra-light gray `#EAEAEA` or `rgba(0,0,0,0.06)`. +- Accent Colors: Exclusively use highly desaturated, washed-out pastels for tags, inline code backgrounds, or subtle icon backgrounds. + - Pale Red: `#FDEBEC` (Text: `#9F2F2D`) + - Pale Blue: `#E1F3FE` (Text: `#1F6C9F`) + - Pale Green: `#EDF3EC` (Text: `#346538`) + - Pale Yellow: `#FBF3DB` (Text: `#956400`) + +## 5. Component Specifications +- Bento Box Feature Grids: + - Utilize asymmetrical CSS Grid layouts. + - Cards must have exactly `border: 1px solid #EAEAEA`. + - Border-radius must be crisp: `8px` or `12px` maximum. + - Internal padding must be generous (e.g., `24px` to `40px`). +- Primary Call-To-Action (Buttons): + - Solid background `#111111`, text `#FFFFFF`. + - Slight border-radius (`4px` to `6px`). No box-shadow. + - Hover state should be a subtle color shift to `#333333` or a micro-scale `transform: scale(0.98)`. +- Tags & Status Badges: + - Pill-shaped (`border-radius: 9999px`), very small typography (`text-xs`), uppercase with wide tracking (`letter-spacing: 0.05em`). + - Background must use the defined Muted Pastels. +- Accordions (FAQ): + - Strip all container boxes. Separate items only with a `border-bottom: 1px solid #EAEAEA`. + - Use a clean, sharp `+` and `-` icon for the toggle state. +- Keystroke Micro-UIs: + - Render shortcuts as physical keys using `` tags: `border: 1px solid #EAEAEA`, `border-radius: 4px`, `background: #F7F6F3`, using the Monospace font. +- Faux-OS Window Chrome: + - When mocking up software, wrap it in a minimalist container with a white top bar containing three small, light gray circles (replicating macOS window controls). + +## 6. Iconography & Imagery Directives +- System Icons: Use "Phosphor Icons (Bold or Fill weights)" or "Radix UI Icons" for a technical, slightly thicker-stroke aesthetic. Standardize stroke width across all icons. +- Illustrations: Monochromatic, rough continuous-line ink sketches on a white background, featuring a single offset geometric shape filled with a muted pastel color. +- Photography: Use high-quality, desaturated images with a warm tone. Apply subtle overlays (`opacity: 0.04` warm grain) to blend photos into the monochrome palette. Never use oversaturated stock photos. Use reliable placeholders like `https://picsum.photos/seed/{context}/1200/800` when real assets are unavailable. +- Hero & Section Backgrounds: Sections should not feel empty and flat. Use subtle full-width background imagery at very low opacity, soft radial light spots (`radial-gradient` with warm tones at `opacity: 0.03`), or minimal geometric line patterns to add depth without breaking the clean aesthetic. + +## 7. Subtle Motion & Micro-Animations +Motion should feel invisible — present but never distracting. The goal is quiet sophistication, not spectacle. +- Scroll Entry: Elements fade in gently as they enter the viewport. Use `translateY(12px)` + `opacity: 0` resolving over `600ms` with `cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1)`. Use `IntersectionObserver`, never `window.addEventListener('scroll')`. +- Hover States: Cards lift with an ultra-subtle shadow shift (`box-shadow` transitioning from `0 0 0` to `0 2px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.04)` over `200ms`). Buttons respond with `scale(0.98)` on `:active`. +- Staggered Reveals: Lists and grid items enter with a cascade delay (`animation-delay: calc(var(--index) * 80ms)`). Never mount everything at once. +- Background Ambient Motion: Optional. A single, very slow-moving radial gradient blob (`animation-duration: 20s+`, `opacity: 0.02-0.04`) drifting behind hero sections. Must be applied to a `position: fixed; pointer-events: none` layer. Never on scrolling containers. +- Performance: Animate exclusively via `transform` and `opacity`. No layout-triggering properties (`top`, `left`, `width`, `height`). Use `will-change: transform` sparingly and only on actively animating elements. + +## 8. Execution Protocol +When tasked with writing frontend code (HTML, React, Tailwind, Vue) or designing a layout: +1. Establish the macro-whitespace first. Use massive vertical padding between sections (e.g., `py-24` or `py-32` in Tailwind). +2. Constrain the main typography content width to `max-w-4xl` or `max-w-5xl`. +3. Apply the custom typographic hierarchy and monochromatic color variables immediately. +4. Ensure every card, divider, and border adheres strictly to the `1px solid #EAEAEA` rule. +5. Add scroll-entry animations to all major content blocks. +6. Ensure sections have visual depth through imagery, ambient gradients, or subtle textures — no empty flat backgrounds. +7. Provide code that reflects this high-end, uncluttered, editorial aesthetic natively without requiring manual adjustments. diff --git a/.agents/skills/plan-issue/ui-design-html.md b/.agents/skills/plan-issue/ui-design-html.md index 5213346b..9cd7229d 100644 --- a/.agents/skills/plan-issue/ui-design-html.md +++ b/.agents/skills/plan-issue/ui-design-html.md @@ -16,14 +16,14 @@ Serve para **aprovar o design final antes de qualquer código** e, depois, **por Mesma doutrina para os dois papéis (fonte única — os prompts dos agentes apontam para cá, não copiam as regras): - **Criar:** o agente `designer` (`.opencode/agent/designer.md`) produz ou estende o hi-fi a partir do plano de intenção aprovado — tokens/brand reais, copy pt-BR real, cenas 390/1280, estados críticos.

Use Descriptive Filenames + +```bash +# Include context in filename +playwright-cli video-start recordings/login-flow-2024-01-15.webm +playwright-cli video-start recordings/checkout-test-run-42.webm +``` + +### 2. Record entire hero scripts. + +When recording a video for the user or as a proof of work, it is best to create a code snippet and execute it with run-code. +It allows inserting appropriate pauses between the actions and annotating the video. There are new Playwright APIs for that. + +1) Perform scenario using CLI and take note of all locators and actions. You'll need those locators to request their bounding boxes for highlight. +2) Create a file with the intended script for video (below). Use pressSequentially w/ delay for nice typing, make reasonable pauses. +3) Use playwright-cli run-code --filename your-script.js + +**Important**: Overlays are `pointer-events: none` — they do not interfere with page interactions. You can safely keep sticky overlays visible while clicking, filling, or performing any actions on the page. + +```js +async page => { + await page.screencast.start({ path: 'video.webm', size: { width: 1280, height: 800 }, fps: 60 }); + // Show the cursor and mark the click point, and pace actions by 800ms. + await page.screencast.showActions({ + duration: 800, + style: { + point: 'width: 20px; height: 20px; border-radius: 50%; background: rgba(255, 0, 0, .7)', + title: 'display: none', + }, + }); + await page.goto('https://demo.playwright.dev/todomvc'); + + // Show a chapter card — blurs the page and shows a dialog. + // Blocks until duration expires, then auto-removes. + // Use this for simple use cases, but always feel free to hand-craft your own beautiful + // overlay via await page.screencast.showOverlay(). + await page.screencast.showChapter('Adding Todo Items', { + description: 'We will add several items to the todo list.', + duration: 2000, + }); + + // Perform action + await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'What needs to be done?' }).pressSequentially('Walk the dog', { delay: 60 }); + await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'What needs to be done?' }).press('Enter'); + await page.waitForTimeout(1000); + + // Show next chapter + await page.screencast.showChapter('Verifying Results', { + description: 'Checking the item appeared in the list.', + duration: 2000, + }); + + // Add a sticky annotation that stays while you perform actions. + // Overlays are pointer-events: none, so they won't block clicks. + const annotation = await page.screencast.showOverlay(` +
      + ✓ Item added successfully +
      + `); + + // Perform more actions while the annotation is visible + await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'What needs to be done?' }).pressSequentially('Buy groceries', { delay: 60 }); + await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'What needs to be done?' }).press('Enter'); + await page.waitForTimeout(1500); + + // Remove the annotation when done + await annotation.dispose(); + + // You can also highlight relevant locators and provide contextual annotations. + const bounds = await page.getByText('Walk the dog').boundingBox(); + await page.screencast.showOverlay(` +
      +
      +
      Check it out, it is right above this text +
      + `, { duration: 2000 }); + + await page.screencast.stop(); +} +``` + +Embrace creativity, overlays are powerful. + +### Overlay API Summary + +| Method | Use Case | +|--------|----------| +| `page.screencast.showChapter(title, { description?, duration?, styleSheet? })` | Full-screen chapter card with blurred backdrop — ideal for section transitions | +| `page.screencast.showOverlay(html, { duration? })` | Custom HTML overlay — use for callouts, labels, highlights | +| `disposable.dispose()` | Remove a sticky overlay added without duration | +| `page.screencast.hideOverlays()` / `page.screencast.showOverlays()` | Temporarily hide/show all overlays | +| `page.screencast.showActions({ cursor, duration, position, style })` | Cursor, click point, target highlight and action title | +| `page.screencast.hideActions()` | Stop annotating actions and hide the cursor | + +### 3. Attach the recording to the pull request + +A hero script recording is the best proof of work for a user-facing change. GitHub accepts WebM as is, so once the recording looks right, attach it with `gh` 2.99+ instead of describing the flow in words: + +```bash +gh pr create --title "feat(todo): add items inline" --body-file body.md --attach ./demo.webm +gh pr comment 123 --body "Walkthrough of the new flow." --attach ./demo.webm +gh issue comment 456 --body "Recording of the repro steps." --attach ./repro.webm +``` + +`gh` appends unreferenced attachments to the end of the body, which is the right place for a walkthrough. Videos are limited to 10 MB on free plans and 100 MB on paid plans, so keep the script focused, record at a modest size such as 1280x800 and drop chapters that do not add to the story. See [pr-attachments.md](pr-attachments.md) for the full set of commands, including attaching test artifacts from CI. + +## Tracing vs Video + +| Feature | Video | Tracing | +|---------|-------|---------| +| Output | WebM file | Trace file (viewable in Trace Viewer) | +| Shows | Visual recording | DOM snapshots, network, console, actions | +| Use case | Demos, documentation | Debugging, analysis | +| Size | Larger | Smaller | + +## Limitations + +- Recording adds slight overhead to automation +- Large recordings can consume significant disk space diff --git a/.agents/skills/redesign-existing-projects/SKILL.md b/.agents/skills/redesign-existing-projects/SKILL.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c8304f0c --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/redesign-existing-projects/SKILL.md @@ -0,0 +1,178 @@ +--- +name: redesign-existing-projects +description: Upgrades existing websites and apps to premium quality.

List every generic pattern, weak point, and missing state you find. +3. **Fix** — Apply targeted upgrades working with the existing stack. Do not rewrite from scratch. Improve what's there. + +## Design Audit + +### Typography + +Check for these problems and fix them: + +- **Browser default fonts or Inter everywhere.** Replace with a font that has character. Good options: `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, `Satoshi`. For editorial/creative projects, pair a serif header with a sans-serif body. +- **Headlines lack presence.** Increase size for display text, tighten letter-spacing, reduce line-height. Headlines should feel heavy and intentional. +- **Body text too wide.** Limit paragraph width to roughly 65 characters. Increase line-height for readability. +- **Only Regular (400) and Bold (700) weights used.** Introduce Medium (500) and SemiBold (600) for more subtle hierarchy. +- **Numbers in proportional font.** Use a monospace font or enable tabular figures (`font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`) for data-heavy interfaces. +- **Missing letter-spacing adjustments.** Use negative tracking for large headers, positive tracking for small caps or labels. +- **All-caps subheaders everywhere.** Try lowercase italics, sentence case, or small-caps instead. +- **Orphaned words.** Single words sitting alone on the last line. Fix with `text-wrap: balance` or `text-wrap: pretty`. + +### Color and Surfaces + +- **Pure `#000000` background.** Replace with off-black, dark charcoal, or tinted dark (`#0a0a0a`, `#121212`, or a dark navy). +- **Oversaturated accent colors.** Keep saturation below 80%. Desaturate accents so they blend with neutrals instead of screaming. +- **More than one accent color.** Pick one. Remove the rest. Consistency beats variety. +- **Mixing warm and cool grays.** Stick to one gray family. Tint all grays with a consistent hue (warm or cool, not both). +- **Purple/blue "AI gradient" aesthetic.** This is the most common AI design fingerprint. Replace with neutral bases and a single, considered accent. +- **Generic `box-shadow`.** Tint shadows to match the background hue. Use colored shadows (e.g., dark blue shadow on a blue background) instead of pure black at low opacity. +- **Flat design with zero texture.** Add subtle noise, grain, or micro-patterns to backgrounds. Pure flat vectors feel sterile. +- **Perfectly even gradients.** Break the uniformity with radial gradients, noise overlays, or mesh gradients instead of standard linear 45-degree fades. +- **Inconsistent lighting direction.** Audit all shadows to ensure they suggest a single, consistent light source. +- **Random dark sections in a light mode page (or vice versa).** A single dark-background section breaking an otherwise light page looks like a copy-paste accident. Either commit to a full dark mode or keep a consistent background tone throughout. If contrast is needed, use a slightly darker shade of the same palette — not a sudden jump to `#111` in the middle of a cream page. +- **Empty, flat sections with no visual depth.** Sections that are just text on a plain background feel unfinished. Add high-quality background imagery (blurred, overlaid, or masked), subtle patterns, or ambient gradients. Use reliable placeholder sources like `https://picsum.photos/seed/{name}/1920/1080` when real assets are not available. Experiment with background images behind hero sections, feature blocks, or CTAs — even a subtle full-width photo at low opacity adds presence. + +### Layout + +- **Everything centered and symmetrical.** Break symmetry with offset margins, mixed aspect ratios, or left-aligned headers over centered content. +- **Three equal card columns as feature row.** This is the most generic AI layout. Replace with a 2-column zig-zag, asymmetric grid, horizontal scroll, or masonry layout. +- **Using `height: 100vh` for full-screen sections.** Replace with `min-height: 100dvh` to prevent layout jumping on mobile browsers (iOS Safari viewport bug). +- **Complex flexbox percentage math.** Replace with CSS Grid for reliable multi-column structures. +- **No max-width container.** Add a container constraint (around 1200-1440px) with auto margins so content doesn't stretch edge-to-edge on wide screens. +- **Cards of equal height forced by flexbox.** Allow variable heights or use masonry when content varies in length. +- **Uniform border-radius on everything.** Vary the radius: tighter on inner elements, softer on containers. +- **No overlap or depth.** Elements sit flat next to each other. Use negative margins to create layering and visual depth. +- **Symmetrical vertical padding.** Top and bottom padding are always identical. Adjust optically — bottom padding often needs to be slightly larger. +- **Dashboard always has a left sidebar.** Try top navigation, a floating command menu, or a collapsible panel instead. +- **Missing whitespace.** Double the spacing. Let the design breathe. Dense layouts work for data dashboards, not for marketing pages. +- **Buttons not bottom-aligned in card groups.** When cards have different content lengths, CTAs end up at random heights. Pin buttons to the bottom of each card so they form a clean horizontal line regardless of content above. +- **Feature lists starting at different vertical positions.** In pricing tables or comparison cards, the list of features should start at the same Y position across all columns. Use consistent spacing above the list or fixed-height title/price blocks. +- **Inconsistent vertical rhythm in side-by-side elements.** When placing cards, columns, or panels next to each other, align shared elements (titles, descriptions, prices, buttons) across all items. Misaligned baselines make the layout look broken. +- **Mathematical alignment that looks optically wrong.** Centering by the math doesn't always look centered to the eye. Icons next to text, play buttons in circles, or text in buttons often need 1-2px optical adjustments to feel right. + +### Interactivity and States + +- **No hover states on buttons.** Add background shift, slight scale, or translate on hover. +- **No active/pressed feedback.** Add a subtle `scale(0.98)` or `translateY(1px)` on press to simulate a physical click. +- **Instant transitions with zero duration.** Add smooth transitions (200-300ms) to all interactive elements. +- **Missing focus ring.** Ensure visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation. This is an accessibility requirement, not optional. +- **No loading states.** Replace generic circular spinners with skeleton loaders that match the layout shape. +- **No empty states.** An empty dashboard showing nothing is a missed opportunity. Design a composed "getting started" view. +- **No error states.** Add clear, inline error messages for forms. Do not use `window.alert()`. +- **Dead links.** Buttons that link to `#`. Either link to real destinations or visually disable them. +- **No indication of current page in navigation.** Style the active nav link differently so users know where they are. +- **Scroll jumping.** Anchor clicks jump instantly. Add `scroll-behavior: smooth`. +- **Animations using `top`, `left`, `width`, `height`.** Switch to `transform` and `opacity` for GPU-accelerated, smooth animation. + +### Content + +- **Generic names like "John Doe" or "Jane Smith".** Use diverse, realistic-sounding names. +- **Fake round numbers like `99.99%`, `50%`, `$100.00`.** Use organic, messy data: `47.2%`, `$99.00`, `+1 (312) 847-1928`. +- **Placeholder company names like "Acme Corp", "Nexus", "SmartFlow".** Invent contextual, believable brand names. +- **AI copywriting cliches.** Never use "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Game-changer", "Delve", "Tapestry", or "In the world of...". Write plain, specific language. +- **Exclamation marks in success messages.** Remove them. Be confident, not loud. +- **"Oops!" error messages.** Be direct: "Connection failed. Please try again." +- **Passive voice.** Use active voice: "We couldn't save your changes" instead of "Mistakes were made." +- **All blog post dates identical.** Randomize dates to appear real. +- **Same avatar image for multiple users.** Use unique assets for every distinct person. +- **Lorem Ipsum.** Never use placeholder latin text. Write real draft copy. +- **Title Case On Every Header.** Use sentence case instead. + +### Component Patterns + +- **Generic card look (border + shadow + white background).** Remove the border, or use only background color, or use only spacing. Cards should exist only when elevation communicates hierarchy. +- **Always one filled button + one ghost button.** Add text links or tertiary styles to reduce visual noise. +- **Pill-shaped "New" and "Beta" badges.** Try square badges, flags, or plain text labels. +- **Accordion FAQ sections.** Use a side-by-side list, searchable help, or inline progressive disclosure. +- **3-card carousel testimonials with dots.** Replace with a masonry wall, embedded social posts, or a single rotating quote. +- **Pricing table with 3 towers.** Highlight the recommended tier with color and emphasis, not just extra height. +- **Modals for everything.** Use inline editing, slide-over panels, or expandable sections instead of popups for simple actions. +- **Avatar circles exclusively.** Try squircles or rounded squares for a less generic look. +- **Light/dark toggle always a sun/moon switch.** Use a dropdown, system preference detection, or integrate it into settings. +- **Footer link farm with 4 columns.** Simplify. Focus on main navigational paths and legally required links. + +### Iconography + +- **Lucide or Feather icons exclusively.** These are the "default" AI icon choice. Use Phosphor, Heroicons, or a custom set for differentiation. +- **Rocketship for "Launch", shield for "Security".** Replace cliche metaphors with less obvious icons (bolt, fingerprint, spark, vault). +- **Inconsistent stroke widths across icons.** Audit all icons and standardize to one stroke weight. +- **Missing favicon.** Always include a branded favicon. +- **Stock "diverse team" photos.** Use real team photos, candid shots, or a consistent illustration style instead of uncanny stock imagery. + +### Code Quality + +- **Div soup.** Use semantic HTML: `
