# Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks for considering a contribution. This skill lives from people who spot slop, document it, and ship better patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
## What this repo is
|
||||
|
||||
A collection of markdown files that teach AI agents how to build websites that read as designed, not generated. The files are designed to be **loadable independently** — agents can pull just what they need.
|
||||
|
||||
## What we accept
|
||||
|
||||
- **New anti-patterns** with before/after examples. If you saw an AI ship it, we want it documented.
|
||||
- **Refinements to existing rules** that make them more specific or more actionable.
|
||||
- **New sub-styles** in `aesthetics.md` or one of the `*-patterns.md` files — with real references, real palettes, real typography.
|
||||
- **New components** in `product-ui-patterns.md` or `components.md` — with HTML, CSS, and all states.
|
||||
- **New motion patterns** in `motion.md` — with timing, easing, accessibility considerations.
|
||||
- **Translations.** The skill is currently English-first. Russian, Chinese, Spanish, Japanese are all welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## What we don't accept
|
||||
|
||||
- Generic design advice ("use whitespace", "be consistent") without specifics.
|
||||
- Patterns without references or concrete examples.
|
||||
- Copy that could apply to any product ("empowering teams to thrive").
|
||||
- AI-slop patterns in the skill itself. If your PR introduces vague platitudes, it will be closed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Style guide for contributions
|
||||
|
||||
When writing for this repo, follow the same principles the repo teaches:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Specific > general.** Numbers, names, dates, real references.
|
||||
- **One accent > many neutrals.** Pick a pattern, commit to it.
|
||||
- **Asymmetry > symmetry.** Don't center everything.
|
||||
- **Restraint > decoration.** Every line must earn its place.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to add an anti-pattern
|
||||
|
||||
The best contributions are new anti-patterns. Format:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
### [Number]. [Name of anti-pattern]
|
||||
|
||||
**Slop signature:** What does the AI-shipped version look like? Be specific.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Why does this read as "AI generated"?
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:** The specific replacement. Concrete values where possible.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
See `anti-patterns.md` for 28 examples.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to add a sub-style
|
||||
|
||||
Sub-styles live in `minimal-ui-patterns.md`, `editorial-patterns.md`, or `brutalist-patterns.md`. Each must have:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Live reference** (URL to a real product/studio that exemplifies it)
|
||||
- **When to choose** (specific audience, project type)
|
||||
- **Palette** (concrete hex tokens)
|
||||
- **Typography** (specific typefaces, weights, sizes)
|
||||
- **Layout patterns** (max-width, hero pattern, sidebar pattern)
|
||||
- **Signature patterns** (what makes this sub-style recognizable)
|
||||
- **Hallmarks** (what to preserve)
|
||||
- **Anti-patterns** (what breaks the sub-style)
|
||||
|
||||
## Pull request process
|
||||
|
||||
1. Fork the repo.
|
||||
2. Create a branch: `git checkout -b add-new-anti-pattern-x`.
|
||||
3. Make your changes.
|
||||
4. Run through `checklist.md` mentally for your own contribution.
|
||||
5. Open a PR with a specific title: "Add: emoji-as-icon anti-pattern" not "Update docs".
|
||||
6. Describe what you added and why. Link to real examples where possible.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reporting issues
|
||||
|
||||
Found an anti-pattern we missed? Open an issue with:
|
||||
|
||||
- The pattern (what the AI shipped)
|
||||
- A real example (link or screenshot if possible)
|
||||
- Your proposed fix
|
||||
|
||||
## Code of conduct
|
||||
|
||||
- Be specific. "This is bad" is not feedback. "This violates the 8px grid system because the buttons use 7px padding" is.
|
||||
- Reference real work. If you critique, cite.
|
||||
- No marketing language. We're documenting slop to fight it, not adding to it.

## 🎯 The problem
|
||||
|
||||
Ask any AI agent to build you a landing page. You will get:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🔮 A purple-to-blue gradient hero
|
||||
- 🎯 Centered headline, two CTA buttons, a "Trusted by 10,000+" logo bar
|
||||
- 📦 Three identical feature cards in a row, repeated three times
|
||||
- 🎠 A testimonial carousel with stock headshots
|
||||
- 💬 Lorem-ipsum-level copy that says nothing
|
||||
|
||||
This is **AI slop** — the visual shorthand for "an LLM made this." It is what every AI defaults to, because it is what every AI has seen ten thousand times in its training set. It is the gravitational center of generative output, and everything has to actively push against it.
|
||||
|
||||
**The skills in this repo push against it.**

## 📸 Screenshot examples
|
||||
|
||||
Six sites built using these skills — from warm typography to cold dark SaaS, Swiss grids, and raw brutalism.
|
||||
|
||||
### Style previews (composition examples)
|
||||
|
||||
The first two are design compositions demonstrating the styles:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example 1: Design studio *Halftone* (Editorial / Warm / Light)
|
||||
|
||||
Built with `aesthetics.md` §2 (Editorial) + `editorial-patterns.md` (Pentagram archive).
|
||||
|
||||
**What was applied from the skills:**
|
||||
- Warm paper `#FAF6F0` + ink `#1A1714` + editorial red `#C8281C` (`color.md`)
|
||||
- Fraunces display + Inter text + JetBrains Mono kickers (`typography.md`)
|
||||
- Asymmetric hero, not centered-everything (`anti-patterns.md` §6)
|
||||
- Hero headline `clamp(3.5rem, 9vw, 8.5rem)` — massive, not default (`typography.md`)
|
||||
- 6 works as magazine index, not "3-card grid" (`anti-patterns.md` §12)
|
||||
- Specific names: "Mira Almeida", "Q3 2026", "14,000 shelves" (`content.md`)
|
||||
- No emoji, no stock photos (`anti-patterns.md` §10)
|
||||
- Footer with colophon — real editorial pattern (`aesthetics.md` §2)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example 2: SaaS product *Tempo* (Refined Minimal / Dark / Linear-style)
|
||||
|
||||
Built with `minimal-ui-patterns.md` §1 (Linear).
|
||||
|
||||
**What was applied from the skills:**
|
||||
- Dark surface `#0A0A0A` + ink `#F5F5F5` + Linear purple `#7B85E6` (`color.md` §Dark Mode)
|
||||
- **Not** pure black, **not** pure white — skill explicitly forbids (`color.md`)
|
||||
- Accent purple slightly brightened for dark (`color.md`)
|
||||
- Asymmetric hero: text left, dashboard right (`anti-patterns.md` §6)
|
||||
- Hero headline makes a claim, not "Welcome to Tempo" (`content.md`)
|
||||
- Dashboard mockup in CSS/SVG — no stock screenshots (`anti-patterns.md` §10)
|
||||
- Real metrics: P95 latency, concrete commits with hash + impact (`content.md`)
|
||||
- 3 asymmetric features: metrics / replay / install — three different formats (`anti-patterns.md` §11/12)
|
||||
- Pricing: 2 honest tiers, not 3 with middle highlighted (`anti-patterns.md` §13)
|
||||
- Footer with build info: `v2.4.7 · build a3f9c2 · uptime 99.98%` (`aesthetics.md` §6)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Working examples (ready-made single-file sites)
|
||||
|
||||
Four full sites in the [`examples/`](examples/) folder. Each is a single HTML file with inline CSS and minimal JS. Open in any browser — no build step.
|
||||
|
||||
| # | Screenshot | File | Style | Skills applied |
|
||||

|
||||
- ✅ Colophon in footer (`editorial-patterns.md` §1)
|
||||
|
||||
---

||||
|
||||
#### Example 4: Feature flag system *Latch* (SaaS / Linear-style)
|
||||
|
||||
Developer tool for product teams. Sub-style: Linear.
|
||||
|
||||
**What was applied from the skills:**
|
||||
- ✅ Dark surface `#0A0A0B` + ink `#F4F4F5` (NOT pure black/white — `color.md` explicitly forbids)
|
||||
- ✅ Mint accent `#6EE7B7` — used <10% of pixels (`color.md` §"How to Use the Accent")
|
||||
- ✅ Hero asymmetric: text left, dashboard right (`anti-patterns.md` §6)
|
||||
- ✅ Hero headline: "Feature flags that don't get in the way." — specific claim (`content.md`)
|
||||
- ✅ **Dashboard mockup in CSS-only**: panel chrome, segmented control, flag rows with toggle (`product-ui-patterns.md` §1, §6)
|
||||
- ✅ 3 asymmetric features: install (with code block) / targeting (with viz) / speed (with viz) (`anti-patterns.md` §11/12)
|
||||
- ✅ Pricing: 2 honest tiers (Hobby + Production) (`anti-patterns.md` §13)
|
||||
- ✅ Footer with build info: `v3.2.7 · build 8f4a12 · uptime 99.99%` (`aesthetics.md` §6)
|
||||
- ✅ Tabular numerals everywhere (font-variant-numeric) (`typography.md`)
|
||||
- ✅ JavaScript: segmented control + interactive toggle (`components.md`)
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
Museum exhibition of Swiss graphic design, 1950–1980. Sub-style: Müller-Brockmann / International Typographic.

|
||||
- ✅ Meta-column pattern (200px + 1fr) in every section (`layout.md` §"The meta-column pattern")
|
||||
- ✅ No buttons; the table hover inverts — black background, white text, red catalog number (`layout.md`, `components.md`)
|
||||
- ✅ A real catalogue: Müller-Brockmann "Beethoven" 1955, Neue Grafik issues 1–46, Ruder's "Typographie" 1967 (`content.md`)
|
||||
- ✅ Skip link, semantic table with caption, `:focus-visible`, `prefers-reduced-motion` (`accessibility.md`)
|
||||
- ✅ Map as a CSS grid artifact instead of a stock map embed (`imagery.md` §"The vocabulary")

|
||||
## 🚀 Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Clone
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/AkyRayy/Frontend-Design-SKILLS-for-AI.git
|
||||
cd Frontend-Design-SKILLS-for-AI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Load into your agent's context
|
||||
|
||||
Depends on the platform:
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Where to put it |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Claude Code / Cursor** | `.claude/skills/frontend-design/` — `SKILL.md` carries Agent Skills frontmatter (`name` + `description`), so the skill is discovered automatically |
|
||||
| **Continue** | `.continue/skills/frontend-design/` |
|
||||
| **Cline / Roo Code** | `.roo/skills/frontend-design/` |
|
||||
| **Custom agent** | Copy the relevant `.md` files into your system prompt |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Use
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[context: SKILL.md + aesthetics.md + minimal-ui-patterns.md]
|
||||
|
||||
User: Build me a landing page for an observability SaaS.
|
||||
|
||||
Agent: [reads SKILL.md, picks "Refined Minimal" → sub-style "Linear"]
|
||||
[identifies the job of the page]
|
||||
[builds the token system from color.md]
|
||||
[sets typography from typography.md]
|
||||
[avoids 28 patterns from anti-patterns.md]
|
||||
[writes code in style from code-style.md]
|
||||
→ outputs a design that reads as a senior designer's work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📘 Usage guide
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 0 — Before you start
|
||||
|
||||
Read **[SKILL.md](SKILL.md)** end to end. It's the core. Everything else is detail.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember three questions the agent should ask itself **at every step**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **What is the job of this page?** (one sentence)
|
||||
2. **Which aesthetic am I in?** (one, not a mix)
|
||||
3. **What should dominate?** (one element, not five)
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1 — Identify the job of the page
|
||||
|
||||
Without this, everything else is slop. Ask yourself: **why did the user come here, and what should they do?**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ "Landing page for our SaaS" → unclear what to do
|
||||
✅ "Convince a frontend engineer to try the product → get email signup"
|
||||
✅ "Sell a $40 cookbook to design-minded home cooks"
|
||||
✅ "Get a designer to apply to our 4-person studio"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Write one sentence. Every section must serve that job.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2 — Pick the aesthetic
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[aesthetics.md](aesthetics.md)**. Seven high-level aesthetics:
|
||||
|
||||
| Aesthetic | When to pick |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Refined Minimal** | SaaS, fintech, dev tools, B2B |
|
||||
| **Editorial / Magazine** | Publishing, premium content, manifestos |
|
||||
| **Swiss / Typographic** | Galleries, museums, archives |
|
||||
| **Brutalist / Raw** | Music, fashion, art, counterculture |
|
||||
| **Soft / Hand-crafted** | Lifestyle, hospitality, indie SaaS |
|
||||
| **Technical / Mono** | Dev tools, API, documentation |
|
||||
| **Playful / Geometric** | Consumer, kids, gaming, creative |
|
||||
|
||||
**Commit. Don't blend two.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3 — Drill into a sub-style
|
||||
|
||||
Open the corresponding sub-style file:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Refined Minimal** → [minimal-ui-patterns.md](minimal-ui-patterns.md) (11 sub-styles)
|
||||
- **Editorial** → [editorial-patterns.md](editorial-patterns.md) (6 sub-styles)
|
||||
- **Brutalist** → [brutalist-patterns.md](brutalist-patterns.md) (5 sub-styles)
|
||||
|
||||
Pick a specific sub-style (Linear, Stripe, Vercel, NYT Magazine, Bandcamp, ...) and commit. Don't blend two.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4 — Build the token system
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[color.md](color.md)** and **[typography.md](typography.md)**. Set up:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
/* Palette from color.md, specific hex */
|
||||
--surface: ...
|
||||
--ink: ...
|
||||
--accent: ...
|
||||
|
||||
/* Typography from typography.md */
|
||||
--font-display: ...
|
||||
--font-text: ...
|
||||
--font-mono: ...
|
||||
|
||||
/* Scale 1.25 or 1.333 */
|
||||
--text-base: 1rem;
|
||||
--text-2xl: 1.953rem;
|
||||
/* ... */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**No raw hex in components.** All colors through tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4½ — Set the page skeleton
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[layout.md](layout.md)**. Container (`1200–1280px`), spacing scale (`4/8/12/16/24/32/48/64/96/128`), asymmetric splits (`5/7`, `3/9` — not equal thirds), the meta-column pattern, breakpoints at `480/768/1024`. Grid and spacing are decided before the first component exists.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5 — Avoid slop
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[anti-patterns.md](anti-patterns.md)**. **28 specific patterns** to reject. Each with a "before" and "after" example.
|
||||
|
||||
Before writing the next section, check: **am I repeating one of these 28?**
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6 — Build components right
|
||||
|
||||
| What you're building | Where the rules are |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Buttons, forms, navigation | [components.md](components.md) |
|
||||
| Product chrome (sidebar, command palette) | [product-ui-patterns.md](product-ui-patterns.md) |
|
||||
| Icons, images, favicon/og | [imagery.md](imagery.md) |
|
||||
| Animations | [motion.md](motion.md) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Every component needs 8 states:** default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, empty, error. Without them, the design breaks on the edges.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 7 — Write specific content
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[content.md](content.md)**. Main rules:
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Slop | ✅ Specific |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| "Welcome to [Brand]" | "Design that doesn't need explaining." |
|
||||
| "Empowering businesses to thrive" | "Ship features 3x faster" |
|
||||
| "Trusted by 10,000+" | "Used by Linear, Vercel, Stripe" |
|
||||
| "Lorem ipsum" | Real names, dates, numbers |
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 8 — Write quality code
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[code-style.md](code-style.md)**. This is the skill for code — no GPT-slop in comments, no bloated functions, no `any`, no magic numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Main rule:** names are the design. Spend more time choosing a name than writing the line of code.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 8½ — Accessibility and speed
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[accessibility.md](accessibility.md)** and **[performance.md](performance.md)**.
|
||||
|
||||
- **A11y:** semantics, a keyboard pass, `:focus-visible`, ARIA minimalism, AA contrast — plus the 15-minute testing protocol before shipping.
|
||||
- **Perf:** budgets (LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, ≤ 4 font files, zero blocking JS). An HTML+CSS page with no JS is the norm, not an achievement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 9 — Run the checklist
|
||||
|
||||
Open **[checklist.md](checklist.md)**. **70+ items** across typography, color, layout, components, motion, accessibility, edge cases.
|
||||
|
||||
**Final tests:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Would Massimo Vignelli approve?
|
||||
2. Could you ship this at Linear / Pentagram / NYT?
|
||||
3. Would you screenshot this for design inspiration?
|
||||
4. Would you be proud to put your name on this?
|
||||
|
||||
If 6+ answers are "no" — keep iterating.

## 🎯 Loading strategies
|
||||
|
||||
### Minimum viable (fast, fewer tokens)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. SKILL.md ← core
|
||||
2. aesthetics.md ← pick aesthetic
|
||||
3. checklist.md ← before shipping
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Standard load (recommended)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. SKILL.md
|
||||
2. aesthetics.md
|
||||
3. typography.md
|
||||
4. color.md
|
||||
5. layout.md
|
||||
6. checklist.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### B2B SaaS (Linear / Stripe / Vercel)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. SKILL.md
|
||||
2. minimal-ui-patterns.md ← instead of aesthetics.md §1
|
||||
3. typography.md
|
||||
4. color.md
|
||||
5. layout.md
|
||||
6. product-ui-patterns.md ← for sidebar, command palette, etc
|
||||
7. accessibility.md ← interactive products raise the a11y bar
|
||||
8. checklist.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Editorial (Pentagram / NYT Mag)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. SKILL.md
|
||||
2. editorial-patterns.md ← instead of aesthetics.md §2
|
||||
3. typography.md
|
||||
4. color.md
|
||||
5. layout.md
|
||||
6. checklist.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Brutalist (Bandcamp / Working Format)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. SKILL.md
|
||||
2. brutalist-patterns.md ← instead of aesthetics.md §4
|
||||
3. typography.md
|
||||
4. checklist.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Product / interactive app
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. SKILL.md
|
||||
2. minimal-ui-patterns.md
|
||||
3. typography.md + color.md + layout.md
|
||||
4. product-ui-patterns.md ← chrome: sidebar, ⌘K, list items, modals
|
||||
5. accessibility.md ← focus traps, ARIA, keyboard
|
||||
6. performance.md ← INP/CLS under load
|
||||
7. checklist.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Full load (deep work)
|
||||
|
||||
All 18 files. Used when the project demands maximum specificity.

|
||||
## 💎 Code quality
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond design, the repo includes **[code-style.md](code-style.md)** — a skill for the code that AI agents write.
|
||||
|
||||
**Core principles:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Principle | Anti-pattern |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Names are the design** | `processData`, `doSomething`, `result` — all broken |
|
||||
| **Comments explain WHY, not WHAT** | `// This function adds two numbers` above `add(a, b)` |
|
||||
| **Errors are values** | `catch (e) {}` silently swallows errors |
|
||||
| **Small functions** | A 200-line function with 8 parameters |
|
||||
| **No `any`** | TypeScript lying to itself |
|
||||
| **Delete first** | Before adding code, ask: can I delete something? |
|
||||
|
||||
**GPT-slop in code** (catalog of 30+ patterns):
|
||||
- Comments like "This function does X" (the code already does that)
|
||||
- Empty `catch {}`
|
||||
- `any`, `as any`, `@ts-ignore` without justification
|
||||
- Magic numbers (`0.5`, `3600`, `100`) without names
|
||||
- Functions with boolean flags: `doThing(x, true, false)`
|
||||
- Dependencies for a single function
|
||||
|
||||
**Full catalog and rules** → [code-style.md](code-style.md)

|
||||
|
||||
## 👥 Who this is for
|
||||
|
||||
- **AI agent builders** — to raise the quality of frontend output
|
||||
- **Designers using AI** — to stop fixing the same 5 patterns every time
|
||||
- **Developers without a designer** — so AI-generated sites look considered, not generated
|
||||
- **Founders shipping fast** — so they don't ship ugly
|
||||
|
||||
**This is not for:** designers who already produce great work — you don't need it. It's for everyone downstream of an LLM who wants to upgrade the output.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚫 What this is NOT
|
||||
|
||||
- **❌ Not a Figma plugin.** It's a markdown skill for AI agents, not a design tool for humans.
|
||||
- **❌ Not a CSS framework.** It produces no code; it shapes the code the agent writes.
|
||||
- **❌ Not a replacement for taste.** The skill raises the floor. The ceiling is still up to you.
|
||||
- **❌ Not magic.** A skill is a set of instructions. If the agent doesn't follow them, the output is still slop.

## 🎯 Проблема
|
||||
|
||||
Попросите любого ИИ-агента сделать лендинг. Вы получите:
|
||||
|
||||
- 🔮 Hero-секцию с фиолетово-синим градиентом
|
||||
- 🎯 Центрированный заголовок, две CTA-кнопки, лого-бар «Trusted by 10,000+»
|
||||
- 📦 Три одинаковые карточки фич в ряд, повторённые три раза
|
||||
- 🎠 Карусель отзывов со стоковыми фотографиями
|
||||
- 💬 Lorem-ipsum-уровень копирайтинга, который ничего не говорит
|
||||
|
||||
Это **AI slop** — визуальный маркер «это сгенерировано LLM». Это то, что выдаёт каждый ИИ по умолчанию, потому что это то, что каждый ИИ видел десять тысяч раз в обучающих данных. Это гравитационный центр генеративного вывода, и всё должно активно с ним бороться.
|
||||
|
||||
**Скиллы в этом репозитории борются с ним.**

## 📸 Скриншоты примеров
|
||||
|
||||
Шесть сайтов, построенных с применением этих скиллов — от тёплой типографики до холодного dark SaaS, швейцарской сетки и сырого брутализма.
|
||||
|
||||
### Демонстрационные превью (стилевые композиции)
|
||||
|
||||
Два первых — дизайн-композиции, демонстрирующие стили:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Пример 1: Дизайн-студия *Halftone* (Editorial / Warm / Light)
|
||||
|
||||
Создано с применением `aesthetics.md` §2 (Editorial) + `editorial-patterns.md` (Pentagram archive).
|
||||
|
||||
**Что применено из скиллов:**
|

## 🚀 Быстрый старт
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Клонировать
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/AkyRayy/Frontend-Design-SKILLS-for-AI.git
|
||||
cd Frontend-Design-SKILLS-for-AI
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Положить в контекст агента
|
||||
|
||||
Зависит от платформы:
|
||||
|
||||
| Платформа | Куда положить |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Claude Code / Cursor** | `.claude/skills/frontend-design/` — `SKILL.md` содержит Agent Skills frontmatter (`name` + `description`), так что скилл подхватывается автоматически |
|
||||
| **Continue** | `.continue/skills/frontend-design/` |
|
||||
| **Cline / Roo Code** | `.roo/skills/frontend-design/` |
|
||||
| **Custom agent** | Скопировать нужные `.md` файлы в system prompt |
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Использовать
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[контекст: SKILL.md + aesthetics.md + minimal-ui-patterns.md]
|
||||
|
||||
Пользователь: Сделай мне лендинг для SaaS-стартапа в сфере observability.
|
||||
|
||||
Агент: [читает SKILL.md, выбирает эстетику "Refined Minimal" → под-стиль "Linear"]
|
||||
[определяет job страницы]
|
||||
[строит токен-систему из color.md]
|
||||
[пишет типографику из typography.md]
|
||||
[избегает 28 паттернов из anti-patterns.md]
|
||||
[пишет код в стиле code-style.md]
|
||||
→ выдаёт дизайн, который читается как работа старшего дизайнера
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📘 Гайд по использованию
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 0 — Перед началом
|
||||
|
||||
Прочитайте **[SKILL.md](SKILL.md)** полностью. Это ядро. Всё остальное — детали.
|
||||
|
||||
Запомните три вопроса, которые агент должен задать себе **на каждом этапе**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Какая работа этой страницы?** (одно предложение)
|
||||
2. **В какой я эстетике?** (одна, не смесь)
|
||||
3. **Что должно доминировать?** (один элемент, не пять)
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 1 — Определите работу страницы
|
||||
|
||||
Без этого шага всё остальное — slop. Спросите себя: **зачем пользователь сюда пришёл и что должен сделать?**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ "Лендинг для нашего SaaS" → непонятно что делать
|
||||
✅ "Убедить frontend engineer попробовать продукт → получить email"
|
||||
✅ "Получить pre-orders для книги за $40"
|
||||
✅ "Собрать заявки на работу в студию"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Запишите одно предложение. Все секции страницы должны служить этой работе.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 2 — Выберите эстетику
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[aesthetics.md](aesthetics.md)**. Семь высокоуровневых эстетик:
|
||||
|
||||
| Эстетика | Когда выбирать |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Refined Minimal** | SaaS, fintech, dev tools, B2B |
|
||||
| **Editorial / Magazine** | Publishing, premium content, манифесты |
|
||||
| **Swiss / Typographic** | Galleries, museums, архивы |
|
||||
| **Brutalist / Raw** | Music, fashion, art, counterculture |
|
||||
| **Soft / Hand-crafted** | Lifestyle, hospitality, indie SaaS |
|
||||
| **Technical / Mono** | Dev tools, API, документация |
|
||||
| **Playful / Geometric** | Consumer, kids, gaming, creative |
|
||||
|
||||
**Зафиксируйте выбор. Не смешивайте два.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 3 — Углубитесь в подстиль
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте соответствующий файл подстилей:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Refined Minimal** → [minimal-ui-patterns.md](minimal-ui-patterns.md) (11 подстилей)
|
||||
- **Editorial** → [editorial-patterns.md](editorial-patterns.md) (6 подстилей)
|
||||
- **Brutalist** → [brutalist-patterns.md](brutalist-patterns.md) (5 подстилей)
|
||||
|
||||
Выберите конкретный подстиль (Linear, Stripe, Vercel, NYT Magazine, Bandcamp, ...) и зафиксируйте его. Не смешивайте два.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 4 — Соберите систему токенов
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[color.md](color.md)** и **[typography.md](typography.md)**. Установите:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
/* Палитра из color.md, конкретные hex */
|
||||
--surface: ...
|
||||
--ink: ...
|
||||
--accent: ...
|
||||
|
||||
/* Типографика из typography.md */
|
||||
--font-display: ...
|
||||
--font-text: ...
|
||||
--font-mono: ...
|
||||
|
||||
/* Шкала 1.25 или 1.333 */
|
||||
--text-base: 1rem;
|
||||
--text-2xl: 1.953rem;
|
||||
/* ... */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Никаких raw hex в компонентах.** Все цвета через токены.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 4½ — Задайте скелет страницы
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[layout.md](layout.md)**. Контейнер (`1200–1280px`), spacing-шкала (`4/8/12/16/24/32/48/64/96/128`), асимметричные сплиты (`5/7`, `3/9` — не равные трети), мета-колонка, брейкпоинты `480/768/1024`. Сетка и отступы решаются до первой компоненты.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 5 — Избегайте slop
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[anti-patterns.md](anti-patterns.md)**. **28 конкретных паттернов**, которые нужно отвергнуть. Каждый с примером «до» и «после».
|
||||
|
||||
Перед тем как писать очередную секцию, проверьте: **не повторяю ли я один из этих 28 паттернов?**
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 6 — Стройте компоненты правильно
|
||||
|
||||
| Что строим | Где правила |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Кнопки, формы, навигация | [components.md](components.md) |
|
||||
| Product chrome (sidebar, command palette) | [product-ui-patterns.md](product-ui-patterns.md) |
|
||||
| Иконки, изображения, favicon/og | [imagery.md](imagery.md) |
|
||||
| Анимации | [motion.md](motion.md) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Каждый компонент должен иметь 8 состояний:** default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, empty, error. Без них дизайн ломается на границах.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 7 — Пишите конкретный контент
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[content.md](content.md)**. Главные правила:
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Slop | ✅ Конкретно |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| «Welcome to [Brand]» | «Design that doesn't need explaining.» |
|
||||
| «Empowering businesses to thrive» | «Ship features 3x faster» |
|
||||
| «Trusted by 10,000+» | «Used by Linear, Vercel, Stripe» |
|
||||
| «Lorem ipsum» | Реальные имена, даты, цифры |
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 8 — Пишите качественный код
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[code-style.md](code-style.md)**. Это скилл про код — без GPT-slop в комментариях, без раздутых функций, без `any`, без магических чисел.
|
||||
|
||||
**Главное правило:** имена — это дизайн. Потратьте на имя больше времени, чем на саму строку кода.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 8½ — Доступность и скорость
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[accessibility.md](accessibility.md)** и **[performance.md](performance.md)**.
|
||||
|
||||
- **A11y:** семантика, клавиатурный проход, `:focus-visible`, ARIA-минимализм, контраст AA — 15-минутный тест-протокол перед шипом.
|
||||
- **Perf:** бюджеты (LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, ≤ 4 font-файла, ноль блокирующего JS). Страница на HTML+CSS без JS — норма, не подвиг.
|
||||
|
||||
### Шаг 9 — Прогоните чеклист
|
||||
|
||||
Откройте **[checklist.md](checklist.md)**. **70+ пунктов** по типографике, цвету, layout, компонентам, motion, accessibility, edge cases.
|
||||
|
||||
**Финальные тесты:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Would Massimo Vignelli approve?
|
||||
2. Could you ship this at Linear / Pentagram / NYT?
|
||||
3. Would you screenshot this for design inspiration?
|
||||
4. Would you be proud to put your name on this?
|
||||
|
||||
Если 6+ ответов «нет» — продолжайте итерировать.

## 💎 Качество кода
|
||||
|
||||
Кроме дизайна, репозиторий включает **[code-style.md](code-style.md)** — скилл для качества кода, который ИИ-агенты пишут.
|
||||
|
||||
**Главные принципы:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Принцип | Антипаттерн |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| **Имена — это дизайн** | `processData`, `doSomething`, `result` — всё это сломано |
|
||||
| **Комментарии объясняют ПОЧЕМУ, не ЧТО** | `// This function adds two numbers` над `add(a, b)` |
|
||||
| **Ошибки — это значения** | `catch (e) {}` молчаливо проглатывает ошибки |
|
||||
| **Маленькие функции** | Функция на 200 строк с 8 параметрами |
|
||||
| **Никакого `any`** | TypeScript лжёт сам себе |
|
||||
| **Удаляй первым** | Прежде чем добавить код, спроси — можно ли удалить |
|
||||
|
||||
**GPT-slop в коде** (catalog из 30+ паттернов):
|
||||
- Комментарии «This function does X» (код уже это делает)
|
||||
- Пустые `catch {}`
|
||||
- `any`, `as any`, `@ts-ignore` без обоснования
|
||||
- Магические числа (`0.5`, `3600`, `100`) без имён
|
||||
- Функции с булевыми флагами: `doThing(x, true, false)`
|
||||
- Зависимости для одной функции
|
||||
|
||||
**Полный каталог и правила** → [code-style.md](code-style.md)

- **Дизайнеры, использующие ИИ** — чтобы перестать чинить одни и те же 5 паттернов
|
||||
- **Разработчики без дизайнера** — чтобы AI-генерируемые сайты выглядели достойно
|
||||
- **Стартаперы, которые шлют быстро** — чтобы не отправлять уродливое
|
||||
|
||||
**Это не для:** дизайнеров, которые уже делают отличную работу — вы не нуждаетесь. Это для всех, кто работает downstream от LLM и хочет улучшить результат.

|
||||
|
||||
## 🚫 Что это НЕ
|
||||
|
||||
- **❌ Не Figma-плагин.** Это markdown-скилл для ИИ-агентов, не дизайн-инструмент для людей.
|
||||
- **❌ Не CSS-фреймворк.** Не производит код; формирует код, который пишет агент.
|
||||
- **❌ Не замена вкусу.** Скилл поднимает пол. Потолок — всё ещё ваш.
|
||||
- **❌ Не магия.** Скилл — это инструкции. Если агент их не следует, вывод всё равно slop.

## 🤝 Contributing
|
||||
|

# SKILL: Frontend Design — Craft, Not Slop
|
||||
|
||||
> A design-quality skill for AI agents building websites, web apps, and digital interfaces. Goal: output that reads as if made by a senior designer at a top studio — not by an LLM guessing at "modern web design."
|
||||
>
|
||||
> This file is the entry point. It is valid [Agent Skills](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills) format — the frontmatter above lets skill loaders (Claude Code, claude.ai) discover and activate it automatically. Supporting files are loaded by context (§7).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Identity
|
||||
|
||||
You are a **senior frontend designer-craftsman**. You treat interfaces as a craft, not a template. Your aesthetic north stars are studios and individuals who care about typography, restraint, and intent:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Studios:** Pentagram, &Walsh, DIA Studio, Manual, Working Format, Locomotive, Instrument, Buck, Studio Dumbar, Bureau Cool
|
||||
- **Product design:** Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Arc, Figma, Things 3, Cron, Notion Calendar
|
||||
- **Editorial:** NYT Mag, Bloomberg Businessweek, It's Nice That, Wallpaper*, Apartamento, Kinfolk (the good years)
|
||||
- **Type foundries & designers:** Massimo Vignelli, Wim Crouwel, Jan Tschichold, Erik Spiekermann, Stefan Sagmeister, Paula Scher, Tibor Kalman, Michael Bierut
|
||||
|
||||
When in doubt: **would Massimo Vignelli approve?** Would **Linear's design team** ship this? If no — redesign.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Core Philosophy (7 Principles)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Restraint over decoration.** Every element must earn its place. If you can remove it without losing meaning — remove it.
|
||||
2. **Typography is the design.** 80% of "design quality" is type selection, sizing, hierarchy, and spacing. Pick one great typeface and use it well.
|
||||
3. **One accent, many neutrals.** A site has one brand color. Everything else is a thoughtful neutral palette. Color is punctuation, not wallpaper.
|
||||
4. **Whitespace is a feature.** Empty space is not "nothing" — it is composition, focus, breathing. Generous margins signal confidence.
|
||||
5. **Asymmetry with intent.** Default to asymmetric layouts. Centered, symmetric everything reads as default AI output. Break the grid deliberately, not randomly.
|
||||
6. **Specificity over generality.** Real content, real names, real numbers. No "Lorem ipsum." No "Welcome to our platform." No "Empowering businesses to thrive."
|
||||
7. **Craft in the details.** Hover states, focus rings, transitions, edge cases, 404 pages, empty states, loading states. These are where amateurs stop and pros begin.

## 3. AI Slop — Instant Rejection List
|
||||
|
||||
**If your output contains any of these, it is rejected. Start over.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Visual slop
|
||||
- ❌ Purple-to-blue gradients (`#667eea → #764ba2` and friends)
|
||||
- ❌ Glassmorphism on everything (`backdrop-blur`, translucent cards floating on gradients)
|
||||
- ❌ Generic 3D abstract shapes / "blob" backgrounds
|
||||
- ❌ Stock-style hero: smiling person + laptop + gradient overlay
|
||||
- ❌ Emoji as icons (🚀 ✨ 🎉 💡 in product UI)
|
||||
- ❌ `border-radius: 9999px` on every button, card, badge, image
|
||||
- ❌ `box-shadow` soup: multiple stacked soft shadows making things look gummy
|
||||
- ❌ Drop shadows on text (`drop-shadow` on headlines)
|
||||
- ❌ "Aurora" backgrounds, mesh gradients, animated noise overlays
|
||||
- ❌ Centered hero with three feature cards in a row, each with an emoji-free colored icon
|
||||
|
||||
### Structural slop
|
||||
- ❌ Identical 3-column feature grid repeated three times down the page
|
||||
- ❌ "Hero → social proof logos → 3 features → big CTA → footer" template
|
||||
- ❌ Pricing page with three identical cards, middle one "highlighted" with a glow
|
||||
- ❌ FAQ with 8 questions, all starting with "What is..." / "How do..."
|
||||
- ❌ Testimonial carousel with stock headshots
|
||||
- ❌ Every section a horizontal banded container with rounded corners
|
||||
- ❌ "Trusted by 10,000+ companies" with logos of companies that don't exist
|
||||
|
||||
### Copy slop
|
||||
- ❌ "Welcome to [Brand] — your one-stop solution for [abstract noun]"
|
||||
- ❌ "Empowering / enabling / unlocking / supercharging"
|
||||
- ❌ "Built for the modern [audience]"
|
||||
- ❌ "Seamlessly integrate, effortlessly scale"
|
||||
- ❌ Headlines that say nothing: "The future of work is here"
|
||||
- ❌ Taglines with three adjectives stacked: "Fast. Simple. Beautiful."
|
||||
- ❌ Mission statements that could apply to any company on Earth
|
||||
|
||||
### Code slop
|
||||
- ❌ Tailwind utility soup: 14 utilities per element, no extraction, no semantic naming
|
||||
- ❌ Inline `style={{...}}` for things that should be tokens / variables
|
||||
- ❌ Random hex colors not in the token system
|
||||
- ❌ `font-weight: 700` on every heading regardless of family
|
||||
- ❌ Default browser focus rings on form elements
|
||||
- ❌ `<div>` soup where semantic elements exist (`<article>`, `<section>`, `<nav>`, `<aside>`)
|
||||
- ❌ Animations on `transform: scale(1.05)` on every hover — pick a *system* and apply consistently

|
||||
## 4. Aesthetic Selection (Adaptive Style)
|
||||
|
||||
Don't ship the same aesthetic for every project. **Match style to context.** Read the brief, the audience, the industry, and pick one of these directions. Hold the line.
|
||||
|
||||
| Aesthetic | Use when | Reference studios |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Refined Minimal** | SaaS, fintech, dev tools, B2B | Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Arc |
|
||||
| **Editorial / Magazine** | Publishing, content, journalism, premium brands | NYT Mag, Bloomberg BW, Magazine N° |
|
||||
| **Swiss / International Typographic** | Galleries, archives, museums, manifestos | Müller-Brockmann, Pentagram, DIA |
|
||||
| **Brutalist / Raw** | Music, fashion, streetwear, counterculture, art | Working Format, Bloomberg BW, Bandcamp |
|
||||
| **Soft / Warm / Hand-crafted** | Lifestyle, hospitality, food, small business, indie SaaS | Mailbrew, Cron, Cobot, Glossier (early) |
|
||||
| **Technical / Mono** | Dev tools, APIs, infrastructure, docs, hacker aesthetic | Fly.io, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Planetscale |
|
||||
| **Playful / Geometric** | Consumer, kids, gaming, social, creative tools | Notion Calendar, Linear (mobile), Things 3 |
|
||||
|
||||
> **Default**: if unsure, pick **Refined Minimal** with editorial typography accents. It is the safest high-quality baseline.
|
||||
|
||||

## 5. Process — How to Build a Page
|
||||
|
||||
Follow this order. Skipping steps = slop.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1 — Read the brief hard
|
||||
Identify the **single job** of the page. One sentence. If you cannot, ask the user. Examples:
|
||||
- "Convince a CTO that our observability tool is faster than Datadog."
|
||||
- "Sell a $40 cookbook to design-minded home cooks."
|
||||
- "Get a designer to apply to our 4-person studio."
|
||||
|
||||
Everything else on the page must serve that one job.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2 — Pick the aesthetic
|
||||
From `aesthetics.md`. Name it. Commit to it. **Don't mix two.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3 — Choose typography
|
||||
From `typography.md`. Pick ONE display face, ONE text face. Max two. Establish a scale (1.2–1.333 modular ratio, or hand-tuned). Set the headline size for the hero: **massive** (clamp 4rem–10rem) or **deliberate** (clamp 2rem–3.5rem). Never default to "h1 is 2.25rem."
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4 — Build the token system
|
||||
From `color.md`. Define:
|
||||
- 1 brand accent (used 5–10% of the page, never on backgrounds)
|
||||
- 1–2 surface tones (paper, off-white, deep navy, near-black)
|
||||
- 1 ink tone (text)
|
||||
- 1 muted ink (secondary text)
|
||||
- 1 hairline tone (borders)
|
||||
|
||||
Use CSS variables or design tokens. **No raw hex in components.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5 — Sketch the layout on paper / in your head
|
||||
Before code. From `layout.md` — container system, spacing scale, grid splits. Identify:
|
||||
- The one element that must dominate (the hero, the headline, the product image)
|
||||
- The path the eye should take (Z-pattern, F-pattern, or a deliberate single-axis scroll)
|
||||
- Where whitespace will carry the design
|
||||
- The structure of each section — asymmetric splits (5/7, 3/9), no two consecutive sections alike
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 6 — Build components
|
||||
From `components.md`. Buttons, inputs, cards, navigation, footer. Build them once, reuse. Each must have: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled states. Icons come from ONE set, inline SVG — `imagery.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 7 — Write real content
|
||||
From `content.md`. Specific. Concrete. No fluff. Headlines that make a claim. Subheads that earn the click.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 8 — Add motion (sparingly)
|
||||
From `motion.md`. One entrance animation system. One hover treatment. Page transitions only where they add meaning.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 9 — Edge cases & accessibility
|
||||
404 page. Loading state. Empty state. Error state. Mobile breakpoint at 480px and 768px. Keyboard navigation, semantics, focus, contrast — `accessibility.md` is the floor (WCAG 2.2 AA), not the ceiling.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 10 — Performance & quality pass
|
||||
Budgets from `performance.md`: LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, ≤ 4 font files, no blocking JS. Then run the `checklist.md`. Remove one element. Then another. If the design is better without them, they were slop.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 6. The Quality Bar
|
||||
|
||||
Before declaring done, ask:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Would this survive a design critique?** (Could you defend every choice?)
|
||||
2. **Does the typography do 80% of the work?** (Are sizes, weights, spacing varied and intentional?)
|
||||
3. **Is whitespace generous?** (Could you add more?)
|
||||
4. **Is the accent color used <10% of pixels?** (Or is it everywhere, washing out the design?)
|
||||
5. **Could a designer identify the typeface family / studio inspiration?** (If generic, push harder.)
|
||||
6. **Is the copy specific?** (Could a stranger tell what this product *does*?)
|
||||
7. **Do the small details feel crafted?** (Focus rings, transitions, hover, empty states?)
|
||||
8. **Does it work for everyone?** (Keyboard-only pass? Screen-reader outline makes sense? Contrast AA?)
|
||||
9. **Is it fast?** (LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, page under budget — or is it heavy because it can be?)
|
||||
10. **Would you be proud to show this in a portfolio?**
|
||||
|
||||
If 6+ answers are "no" — keep iterating.

|
||||
## 7. Sub-Skills (load by context)
|
||||
|
||||
| File | Read when |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `aesthetics.md` | At the start of a project — to pick the style direction |
|
||||
| `minimal-ui-patterns.md` | When `aesthetics.md` §1 (Refined Minimal) is right but you need a specific Linear / Stripe / Vercel sub-style |
|
||||
| `editorial-patterns.md` | When `aesthetics.md` §2 (Editorial) is right but you need a specific Pentagram / Bloomberg BW / NYT Mag sub-style |
|
||||
| `brutalist-patterns.md` | When `aesthetics.md` §4 (Brutalist / Raw) is right but you need a specific Bandcamp / Working Format sub-style |
|
||||
| `product-ui-patterns.md` | When building product chrome (sidebar, command palette, list items, modals) — code-first Linear-style components |
|
||||
| `typography.md` | When setting up type scale, choosing fonts, or headlines look weak |
|
||||
| `color.md` | When building the palette, choosing accent, or contrast feels off |
|
||||
| `layout.md` | When structuring the page — containers, spacing scale, grid splits, responsive strategy |
|
||||
| `anti-patterns.md` | When output feels generic; for full rejection catalog with fixes |
|
||||
| `components.md` | When building buttons, forms, cards, navigation, footer |
|
||||
| `motion.md` | When adding animations, transitions, scroll effects |
|
||||
| `content.md` | When writing copy, microcopy, error messages, CTAs |
|
||||
| `accessibility.md` | When building anything interactive — semantics, keyboard, focus, ARIA, testing protocol |
|
||||
| `performance.md` | When the page is designed — budgets, fonts, images, Core Web Vitals |
|
||||
| `imagery.md` | When the page needs visuals — CSS/SVG compositions, photo direction, icon systems, favicon/og-image |
|
||||
| `code-style.md` | **When writing code** — naming, comments, error handling, anti-slop patterns for code |
|
||||
| `checklist.md` | Before declaring a page done — final QA |
|
||||
|
||||
**Default load:** `aesthetics.md` + `typography.md` + `color.md` + `layout.md` + `code-style.md` + `checklist.md`.
|
||||
**B2B SaaS load:** replace `aesthetics.md` §1 with `minimal-ui-patterns.md` + add `product-ui-patterns.md` for chrome.
|
||||
**Editorial load:** replace `aesthetics.md` §2 with `editorial-patterns.md`.
|
||||
**Brutalist load:** replace `aesthetics.md` §4 with `brutalist-patterns.md`.
|
||||
**Product/app load:** add `product-ui-patterns.md` + `accessibility.md` (interactive surfaces raise the a11y bar).
|
||||
**Code-heavy load:** add `code-style.md` (always recommended when agent writes code).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. The One-Line Mantra
|
||||
|
||||
> **If the design is good, you won't notice the design. If it's bad, you notice immediately.**
|
||||
|
||||
Your job is the first. Slop is the second.

# Accessibility — Craft, Not Compliance
|
||||
|
||||
> Accessibility is where amateurs stop and pros begin — it is `SKILL.md` principle 7 applied to people. It is also the fastest way to tell real craft from generated output: slop pages are keyboard-hostile, unlabeled, and focus-invisible. The floor is **WCAG 2.2 AA**. The target is: nobody can tell this page was built by an LLM, including someone using a screen reader.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Mental Model
|
||||
|
||||
Accessibility is three habits, not a checklist bolted on at the end:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Robust structure** — semantic HTML that means what it says.
|
||||
2. **Visible states** — focus, hover, error, disabled (already required by `components.md`).
|
||||
3. **Respect** — for motion sensitivity, zoom, touch, and slow connections.
|
||||
|
||||
If you build with these from Step 1 (see `SKILL.md` process), accessibility costs almost nothing extra. If you bolt it on at Step 10, it costs a rewrite.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Semantic HTML First
|
||||
|
||||
### Landmarks, one of each where it matters
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<header> <!-- site masthead -->
|
||||
<nav aria-label="Primary"> <!-- main navigation -->
|
||||
<main id="main"> <!-- THE one per page -->
|
||||
<section aria-labelledby="features-title">
|
||||
<aside> <!-- truly tangential content -->
|
||||
<footer> <!-- colophon -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Heading order
|
||||
|
||||
- **One `<h1>`** per page — the page's claim.
|
||||
- Never skip levels downward (`h2` → `h4`). Headings are the screen reader's table of contents.
|
||||
- The visual hierarchy and the heading hierarchy must match. If a kicker looks bigger than the `h2`, fix the CSS, not the outline.
|
||||
|
||||
### Button or link? (decide correctly, agents get this wrong constantly)
|
||||
|
||||
| It does this | Use |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Goes somewhere (URL changes) | `<a href="...">` |
|
||||
| Does something (opens, submits, toggles, copies) | `<button>` |
|
||||
| Submits a form | `<button type="submit">` |
|
||||
| Toggles a menu that navigates | `<a>` styled as a control — not a `<div onclick>` |
|
||||
|
||||
A `<div>` with a click handler is not a button. No exceptions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Lists are lists
|
||||
|
||||
Indexes, catalogs, feature lists, nav items: use `<ol>`/`<ul>`/`<li>`. Screen readers announce "list, 8 items" — that announcement is design.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Keyboard
|
||||
|
||||
- **Tab order = DOM order = visual order.** If they diverge, restructure the DOM — never "fix" it with `tabindex` above 0.
|
||||
- `tabindex="0"` only for genuinely focusable custom components (a custom tab, a combobox — before you build one, check if a native element works).
|
||||
- **Skip link** on any page longer than one screen:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<a class="skip-link" href="#main">Skip to content</a>
|
||||
|
||||
.skip-link {
|
||||
position: absolute; left: var(--sp-4); top: var(--sp-4);
|
||||
transform: translateY(-200%);
|
||||
/* visible + on-brand when focused */
|
||||
}
|
||||
.skip-link:focus-visible { transform: none; outline: 2px solid var(--accent); }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key contracts
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Keys |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Buttons | Enter, Space |
|
||||
| Links | Enter |
|
||||
| Dialog / modal | Escape closes; **focus trapped** inside; focus returns to trigger on close |
|
||||
| Menu / listbox | Arrow Up/Down, Home/End, Escape |
|
||||
| Tabs | Arrow Left/Right between tabs, Home/End |
|
||||
| Combobox / ⌘K palette | Arrow Up/Down, Enter selects, Escape closes — see `product-ui-patterns.md` §2 |
|
||||
| Dismissible toast | Escape or timed auto-dismiss |
|
||||
|
||||
Test the whole page with the keyboard alone. If you can't reach it, click it, and dismiss it — it doesn't ship.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Focus — Design It, Don't Delete It
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:focus-visible {
|
||||
outline: 2px solid var(--accent);
|
||||
outline-offset: 2px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/* apply to everything interactive: a, button, input, select, textarea, [tabindex] */
|
||||
a:focus-visible, button:focus-visible, input:focus-visible,
|
||||
select:focus-visible, textarea:focus-visible {
|
||||
outline: 2px solid var(--accent);
|
||||
outline-offset: 2px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
- `:focus-visible` for mouse-dominant UI is correct; but keyboard focus must **always** show.
|
||||
- **Never** `outline: none` without an equal-or-better replacement visible on keyboard use.
|
||||
- Focus ring contrast: ≥ 3:1 against both the element and its background.
|
||||
- After route/content changes, **move focus deliberately** — to the new page's `h1` (`tabindex="-1"` + `.focus()`) or the dialog. A screen reader left reading stale content is a broken page.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Forms
|
||||
|
||||
- Every input has a **visible, persistent `<label>`**. Placeholder is not a label — it disappears on input and fails low-vision users.
|
||||
- Group related inputs with `<fieldset>` + `<legend>` (plan selection, address blocks).
|
||||
- Errors: name the problem and the fix, linked programmatically:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<label for="email">Work email</label>
|
||||
<input id="email" type="email" aria-describedby="email-error" aria-invalid="true">
|
||||
<p id="email-error" class="field-error">
|
||||
Enter your work email — we'll send the invoice there.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `autocomplete="email"`, `autocomplete="cc-number"`, etc. — they are free conversion wins.
|
||||
- Mark required in text (`*` only if you also explain it). Never rely on color alone — pair it with a word or icon.
|
||||
- Inputs at `16px`+ font size to prevent mobile Safari auto-zoom.
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## ARIA — Less Is More
|
||||
|
||||
**First rule of ARIA: don't use ARIA if a native element exists.** A `<button>` needs zero ARIA. A `<div role="button" tabindex="0">` needs four attributes and still works worse.
|
||||
|
||||
| Need | Native first | ARIA only if you must |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Clickable action | `<button>` | `role="button"` + `tabindex="0"` + Enter/Space handlers |
|
||||
| Expand/collapse | `<details>`/`<summary>` | `aria-expanded` on trigger, `aria-controls` |
|
||||
| Current page in nav | class + link styling | `aria-current="page"` |
|
||||
| Icon-only button | — | `aria-label="Close menu"` |
|
||||
| Live announcement | — | `aria-live="polite"` region |
|
||||
| Dialog | `<dialog>` | `role="dialog"` + `aria-modal="true"` + focus trap |
|
||||
|
||||
### The four ARIA attributes worth knowing cold
|
||||
|
||||
- `aria-label` — **only on interactive elements** with no visible text (icon buttons, close buttons).
|
||||
- `aria-expanded` — on disclosure triggers (menu, accordion, ⌘K).
|
||||
- `aria-current="page"` — on the active nav item.
|
||||
- `aria-hidden="true"` — on decorative duplicates (icon next to a text label, CSS artwork).
|
||||
|
||||
Never both `aria-hidden` and focusable on the same element. Never `role="presentation"` on a table that holds data.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Color & Contrast Beyond Body Text
|
||||
|
||||
- Body text ≥ 4.5:1, large display ≥ 3:1 (details in `typography.md` / `color.md`).
|
||||
- **Non-text contrast:** icons, input borders, focus rings, chart lines — ≥ 3:1 against their background. The `#E5E5E5` hairline on white fails for input borders; use it for dividers only, `#9B9B9B`+ for interactive outlines.
|
||||
- **Color is never the only signal.** Errors need text, statuses need labels or shapes (●/▲/■ — see `product-ui-patterns.md` §5), links need underline or weight, not hue alone.
|
||||
- Test both themes — dark mode accent often needs a lighter variant (`color.md` §Dark Mode).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Images & Media
|
||||
|
||||
The alt decision tree:
|
||||
|
||||
| Image | Alt |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Decorative (CSS art, texture, divider) | `alt=""` + it's probably CSS, not `<img>` |
|
||||
| Informative (photo of the product) | Describe **what the user needs to know**: "Latch dashboard with three flag rows, all toggled on" |
|
||||
| Functional (image is a link/button) | Describe the **action**: "View issue 14" |
|
||||
| Complex (chart, diagram) | Short alt + the data in adjacent text/table |
|
||||
|
||||
- No autoplaying audio, ever. Video: captions on, pause control reachable by keyboard.
|
||||
- `alt` text is copy — write it like copy (`content.md`), not like a filename. `"IMG_2841.jpg"` is slop.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Motion & Vestibular Safety
|
||||
|
||||
Full system in `motion.md`. The accessibility floor:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
|
||||
*, *::before, *::after {
|
||||
animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
|
||||
transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
|
||||
scroll-behavior: auto !important;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- No parallax, no scroll-jacking, no autoplaying carousels without a pause — with or without the media query honored.
|
||||
- Nothing flashes more than 3 times per second.
|
||||
- Motion is never the only way information is conveyed.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Touch & Zoom
|
||||
|
||||
- Touch targets ≥ **44×44px** (36px minimum where space is genuinely scarce, with ≥ 8px between targets).
|
||||
- Do **not** disable pinch zoom: `content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"` — no `maximum-scale`, no `user-scalable=no`.
|
||||
- Respect `100%`–`200%` zoom and `320px` width without horizontal scroll (also in `layout.md` QA).
|
||||
- Gestures need single-pointer alternatives — swipe is a bonus, not a requirement.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Announcing Dynamic Changes
|
||||
|
||||
Agents build UIs that change silently. Screen readers must hear what changed:
|
||||
|
||||
| Change | Mechanism |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Toast / saved state | `aria-live="polite"` region, always in the DOM, text swapped in |
|
||||
| Form errors on submit | `aria-live` or move focus to the error summary |
|
||||
| Search results count | Announce "12 results" politely |
|
||||
| Route change (SPA) | Move focus to new `h1` (`tabindex="-1"`) |
|
||||
| Critical failure | `role="alert"` (assertive) — use at most once per page |
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div class="sr-only" aria-live="polite" id="live-status"></div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Testing Protocol (15 minutes, before every ship)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Keyboard pass:** unplug the mouse. Tab through everything. Reachable? Visible? Dismissible? Logical order?
|
||||
2. **Screen reader pass:** VoiceOver (Mac: Cmd+F5) or NVDA (free, Windows). Navigate by headings and landmarks. Does the outline make sense?
|
||||
3. **Contrast audit:** run axe DevTools or Lighthouse — zero violations, not "close enough."
|
||||
4. **Zoom pass:** 200% browser zoom at 1280px — no clipped content, no horizontal scroll.
|
||||
5. **Grayscale pass:** can you still tell error from success, primary from secondary?
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Accessibility Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `<div onclick>` controls | `<button>` / `<a href>` |
|
||||
| `outline: none` with no replacement | Designed `:focus-visible` on everything interactive |
|
||||
| Placeholder as label | Persistent `<label>`, placeholder as example |
|
||||
| `aria-label` on non-interactive elements | Visible text or `sr-only` text |
|
||||
| Icon-only buttons with no name | `aria-label="Search"` |
|
||||
| Headings chosen by visual size | One `h1`, ordered outline, CSS handles size |
|
||||
| Color as the only error/status signal | Text + color, shape + color |
|
||||
| Autoplay carousel, no pause | Static content or user-driven with pause |
|
||||
| `user-scalable=no` in viewport meta | Leave zoom alone |
|
||||
| Modals that don't trap or return focus | Trap inside, return to trigger, Escape closes |
|
||||
| Live changes nobody announces | `aria-live` status region |
|
||||
| Accessibility "added later" | Semantics from the first tag written |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Ship Gate
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Keyboard pass complete — every control reachable, visible, dismissible
|
||||
- [ ] One `h1`, ordered headings, landmarks present
|
||||
- [ ] All inputs labeled; errors linked and actionable
|
||||
- [ ] `:focus-visible` designed, never removed
|
||||
- [ ] Contrast AA on text and 3:1 on interactive outlines, both themes
|
||||
- [ ] `prefers-reduced-motion` honored
|
||||
- [ ] Alt text on every meaningful image; decorative marked empty
|
||||
- [ ] Dynamic changes announced; focus managed on dialogs and routes
|
||||
|
||||
Zero known violations. Not "minor issues" — zero. See `checklist.md` §Accessibility for the pre-ship list.

# Aesthetics — Style Direction Library
|
||||
|
||||
> Read this at the start of every project. Pick ONE direction. Hold the line. Mixing styles = slop.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How to Choose
|
||||
|
||||
Answer these three questions in order. The answer drives the pick.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Who is the primary user?** (CTO vs. designer vs. consumer vs. journalist)
|
||||
2. **What is the emotional job?** (Trust, desire, curiosity, delight, urgency)
|
||||
3. **What would a senior designer at [relevant studio] do?** (Don't pick a studio — pick a *kind* of decision-making.)
|
||||
|
||||
If still unsure → **Refined Minimal**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Refined Minimal
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** SaaS dashboards, fintech, dev tools, B2B products, professional services.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Arc browser, Cron, Mercury bank, Pitch, Height, Notion (settings), Sublime.
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** Quiet confidence. The interface gets out of the way. Everything you see was decided.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display:** Söhne, Inter Display, GT America, Söhne Breit, ABC Diatype Mono (for headings)
|
||||
- **Text:** Inter, IBM Plex Sans, Söhne, Geist
|
||||
- **Pairs that work:** Söhne Mono + Söhne, Inter Display + Inter, GT America + GT America Mono
|
||||
- **Hero size:** `clamp(3.5rem, 7vw, 6rem)` for primary H1
|
||||
- **Line height:** tight on display (1.05–1.15), normal on body (1.5–1.65)
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** Pure white (#FFFFFF) or off-white (#FAFAFA / #F7F7F5)
|
||||
- **Ink:** Near-black (#0A0A0A), not pure black
|
||||
- **Muted:** #6B6B6B / #8A8A8A
|
||||
- **Hairline:** #E5E5E5 / #EDEDED
|
||||
- **Accent:** ONE — saturated, often a desaturated jewel tone. Examples: Linear purple (#5E6AD2), Stripe indigo, Vercel black-on-white, Mercury deep green (#1B4332). Used on links, one CTA per page, focus rings.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- 12-column grid, max-width 1200–1280px
|
||||
- Generous side padding (px-6 mobile, px-12 desktop)
|
||||
- Sections separated by **whitespace**, not dividers
|
||||
- Hero is asymmetric — headline left-aligned, supporting element (image, product UI) on the right at large sizes, stacked on mobile
|
||||
- Tables and data dense? Use compact spacing, hairline borders, monospace numbers
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- No background colors on hero (or extremely subtle gradient-to-paper)
|
||||
- Buttons are crisp rectangles or 6px radius — not pills
|
||||
- Icons are 16px or 20px, single-weight stroke
|
||||
- Focus rings are precise (2px offset, not blurry glows)
|
||||
- Numbers are monospace (alignment matters)
|
||||
- Empty states have personality but restraint
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Adding background tint "to make it pop"
|
||||
- ❌ Centered everything
|
||||
- ❌ Drop shadows on cards (use hairlines or nothing)
|
||||
- ❌ Gradient hero backgrounds
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Editorial / Magazine
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Publishing, journalism, premium content, books, high-end consumer brands, manifestos, agency sites.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** NYT Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, It's Nice That, Wallpaper*, Apartamento, The Gentlewoman, Magazine N°, Pin–Up, Cabana, Courier (studio), Olympia (NYT).
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** Considered. Authorial. The page is a page, the headline is a headline, the photo is a photo. Long-form and confident.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display:** A serif with character. Tiempos Headline, Lyon, Söhne Serif, GT Sectra, Domaine Display, Canela, Playfair Display (used sparingly), GT Super, Editorial New, Reckless
|
||||
- **Text:** Same serif at smaller sizes, or a paired humanist sans (Söhne, GT America)
|
||||
- **Mono (for kickers/byline):** IBM Plex Mono, JetBrains Mono, GT America Mono
|
||||
- **Hero size:** Massive. `clamp(4rem, 9vw, 9rem)` or larger. Set tight (line-height 0.95–1.05).
|
||||
- **Drop caps** OK on long-form articles, sparingly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** Warm off-white (#FAF7F2, #F4F1EB) or deep editorial black (#0E0E0E)
|
||||
- **Ink:** True black (#000) on cream, warm white (#F5F0E8) on black
|
||||
- **Accent:** Editorial red (#C8281C) or a single ink color. Often used on pull-quotes, kickers, section markers.
|
||||
- **Rule lines:** 1px hairlines in muted ink.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Strong vertical rhythm. Generous gutters.
|
||||
- Use a measure (line length) of 60–75 characters for body
|
||||
- Asymmetric grids: image bleeds off one edge, text column offset
|
||||
- Pull quotes: large, set in display face, often with rule lines above/below
|
||||
- Section numbers / folio numbers as design elements
|
||||
- Footnotes / margin notes where appropriate
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- Image-led. Photography is the design.
|
||||
- Captions in smaller, often italic, type
|
||||
- Issue / volume / date markers in masthead style
|
||||
- Long-form scroll is encouraged — reading time, chapter markers
|
||||
- Treat the page as a magazine spread
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ SaaS-style "3 features in a row" sections — use full-bleed spreads instead
|
||||
- ❌ Generic sans-serif throughout — bring the serif
|
||||
- ❌ Centered body text — left-aligned, ragged right
|
||||
- ❌ Stock photography with overlaid gradient
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Swiss / International Typographic
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Galleries, museums, archives, design studios, manifestos, annual reports, anything where information is the design.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** Müller-Brockmann, Vignelli, Pentagram (archive work), Bureau Mirko Borsche, Studio Dumbar, Werkplaats Typografie, HfG Karlsruhe output, MoMA design.
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** The grid is the design. Typography is precise. Information architecture = visual architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display & Text:** One neutral grotesque used ruthlessly. Akzidenz-Grotesk, Helvetica Now, Söhne, Neue Haas Grotesk, GT America, Inter, ABC Diatype
|
||||
- **Mono:** Same family in mono variant, or IBM Plex Mono for tabular data
|
||||
- **Hero size:** Often smaller than expected. The Swiss move is restraint. `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.5rem)`. Big headlines feel loud here.
|
||||
- **Type as image:** large numerals, dates, indices as visual anchors
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** White or black. Nothing in between.
|
||||
- **Ink:** Pure black or pure white
|
||||
- **Accent:** Used very rarely. A red, a fluorescent, an electric blue — as a single punctuation mark.
|
||||
- **Often NO accent.** Pure monochrome is a valid Swiss choice.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Strict modular grid. 12-col or 6-col. Visible or invisible.
|
||||
- Left-aligned everything. No centering.
|
||||
- Numbered sections. Folio numbers. Indices.
|
||||
- Lots of metadata shown: dates, locations, dimensions, edition numbers
|
||||
- Diagrams and tables treated as typography, not decoration
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- Captions and labels are part of the design (often small, mono)
|
||||
- Information density is high — whitespace used as separator, not filler
|
||||
- Manifestos / mission statements set large, no decoration
|
||||
- Photographic imagery is documentary, full-bleed, unretouched
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative elements — there are none, that's the point
|
||||
- ❌ Multiple fonts
|
||||
- ❌ Centered headlines
|
||||
- ❌ "Friendly" rounded corners
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Brutalist / Raw
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Music, fashion, streetwear, art, counterculture, alternative media, edgy tech, "we're not like other brands."
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** Bandcamp, Working Format, Bloomberg Businessweek (early 2010s), Acne Studios (early), Balenciaga (creative pages), Slam Jam, Internet-Troll aesthetic done well, Bottega (web), SSENSE editorial, Brutalist Websites (gallery), Yung Lean / Drain Gang visual world.
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** Rejection of polish. Anti-design that is itself designed. Raw HTML energy, but precise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display:** Anything goes — Helvetica (the original sin), Times New Roman used ironically, monospace terminals, custom condensed faces
|
||||
- **Text:** Often same family throughout, or a chaotic mix that's clearly intentional
|
||||
- **Hero size:** Either massive and crude OR tiny and clinical — the contrast IS the design
|
||||
- **Use of system fonts** (`Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif`) is OK if it's a statement. Default browser styles can be part of the look.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** Pure white, pure black, or one crude color (lime, hot pink, hazard yellow)
|
||||
- **Accent:** Loud. Used liberally but in block shapes.
|
||||
- **High contrast** is mandatory. Anti-design ≠ low contrast.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Visible grid artifacts (alignment is sometimes deliberately off by 1px)
|
||||
- Tables as layout
|
||||
- Underlined links in default blue
|
||||
- Image crops unexpected
|
||||
- Scrolling text, marquee, but used surgically
|
||||
- Negative space used aggressively — emptiness is confrontational
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- Loudness and quietness alternated — not constant noise
|
||||
- A few perfect moments (one beautiful spread) inside the rawness
|
||||
- Self-aware: the brutalism is a choice, not a lack of effort
|
||||
- Often uses stock imagery, scans, photocopies — texture
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Calling it "brutalist" but shipping unstyled HTML — that's not brutalism, that's unfinished
|
||||
- ❌ Random colors with no logic
|
||||
- ❌ Sloppy where sloppiness isn't the point
|
||||
- ❌ Inaccessible by design (low contrast, missing alt text, no keyboard nav) — see `motion.md` on accessibility
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Soft / Warm / Hand-crafted
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Lifestyle, hospitality, food, small business, indie SaaS, personal brands, creative practices, parenting, wellness (without woo).
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** Mailbrew, Cron, Glossier (2014–2018), Away (early), Sweetgreen, Oatly (web), Cobot, Hem, Fellow, Pattern Brands (the goods), Studio Neat, Areaware.
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** Considered warmth. Soft, but not saccharine. Rounded but not gummy. Personality without performance.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display:** GT Super, Tiempos, Editorial New, Söhne (soft weight), a humanist sans with warmth: ABC Diatype, Inter, Söhne
|
||||
- **Text:** Same family
|
||||
- **Avoid:** Geometric sans (Futura, Avenir) — too cold. Heavy weights — too assertive.
|
||||
- **Hero size:** Comfortable, not massive. `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.5rem)`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** Cream (#FAF6F0, #F4EFE6), warm white, soft taupe
|
||||
- **Ink:** Warm near-black (#1A1A1A, #2B2522)
|
||||
- **Accent:** Terracotta, sage, dusty blue, mustard, plum. Desaturated, not pastel.
|
||||
- **Accent usage:** Generous — can be on backgrounds, but in soft washes.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Generous padding (more than refined minimal)
|
||||
- Rounded corners allowed (12–20px), but not on everything
|
||||
- Photography-led: warm, natural light, lifestyle contexts
|
||||
- Cards exist but feel like objects, not data containers
|
||||
- Type can overlap images slightly (intentional, not careless)
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- Texture: subtle paper grain, soft shadows, hand-drawn marks (used once or twice)
|
||||
- Product photography is real, not stock
|
||||
- Microcopy has voice: "Hey there" not "Welcome"
|
||||
- Soft transitions, never aggressive
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Pastel overload
|
||||
- ❌ Hand-drawn icons everywhere — pick one or none
|
||||
- ❌ Handwritten fonts for body copy (display OK)
|
||||
- ❌ Confusing softness with low contrast
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Technical / Mono
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Dev tools, APIs, infrastructure, docs, CLI tools, terminals, hacker-native products, data products.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** Fly.io, Cloudflare, Tailscale, Planetscale, Supabase (docs), Vercel (docs), Railway, Render, Cloudflare Workers docs, Wing, Terminal aesthetic, ASCII art used well.
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** The interface is the documentation. Code is a first-class citizen. Numbers and logs feel like home.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display & Text:** Mono family — JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, Berkeley Mono, GT America Mono, Geist Mono, Iosevka
|
||||
- **Pair with:** A clean grotesque for long-form prose (IBM Plex Sans, Inter, Söhne)
|
||||
- **Hero size:** Often smaller, with the headline being literal (file path, command, status). `clamp(2rem, 4vw, 3.5rem)`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** True black (#000) or terminal green-tinted black, or off-white (#F4F4F2)
|
||||
- **Ink:** Pure white on black, pure black on white
|
||||
- **Accent:** Terminal green (#00FF00), amber (#FFB000), red for errors, cyan for links. Or single accent like Vercel pink.
|
||||
- **Syntax highlighting palette** if showing code: muted, not rainbow
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Dense. Information-rich. Multi-column where it helps.
|
||||
- Tables of specifications, environment variables, endpoints
|
||||
- Code blocks are the design — make them beautiful
|
||||
- Status indicators (● ◯) used semantically
|
||||
- Footer often shows: build hash, region, version, last deployed
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ASCII diagrams used as visual elements (boxes made of `+`, `-`, `|`)
|
||||
- Real numbers shown (latency, throughput, cost)
|
||||
- Logs as UI patterns
|
||||
- Keyboard-first design (visible shortcuts)
|
||||
- Easter eggs for nerds
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Fake "hacker" aesthetic without technical content — reads as costume
|
||||
- ❌ Green-on-black that's actually painful to read
|
||||
- ❌ Emoji as status indicators
|
||||
- ❌ Pretending to be a terminal when the product is a marketing site
|
||||
|

||||
## 7. Playful / Geometric
|
||||
|
||||
**For:** Consumer, social, gaming, creative tools, kids, education, anything where delight is a feature.
|
||||
|
||||
**Reference:** Notion Calendar, Linear (mobile), Things 3, Headspace (used well), Duolingo (engagement surfaces), Pitch (presentations), Arcade, Cron, editorial sections of The Browser Company.
|
||||
|
||||
**Vibe:** Geometric, colorful, considered-but-joyful. Play is the design system, not the decoration.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Display:** Geometric with character: ABC Diatype, GT Walsheim, Söhne (rounded weights), Inter, Manrope
|
||||
- **Pair with:** A mono for accents (GT America Mono, JetBrains Mono)
|
||||
- **Hero size:** Confident. `clamp(3rem, 6vw, 5.5rem)`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Color
|
||||
- **Surface:** Off-white or a tinted near-white
|
||||
- **Palette:** Multiple accents used deliberately — a 4-color palette of well-chosen hues, not rainbow
|
||||
- **Color is meaningful:** each color = a category, a state, a feature
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Asymmetric, often tilted elements
|
||||
- Cards with bold outlines (2px) rather than subtle shadows
|
||||
- Generous whitespace between bold moments
|
||||
- Icons are large, custom or weighty — never emoji
|
||||
- Motion is part of the design (not garnish)
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- Custom illustrations as primary imagery
|
||||
- Microcopy that has a voice
|
||||
- Achievement / state moments (delight)
|
||||
- Sound used well (or not at all)
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Comic Sans or "playful" = bad typography
|
||||
- ❌ Rainbow palettes with no logic
|
||||
- ❌ Bouncy animations on everything — be selective
|
||||
- ❌ Confusing play with chaos
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Hybrid Rules
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes a project sits between two aesthetics. The rules:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pick the dominant one.** The other can contribute a single technique (e.g., Refined Minimal layout + Editorial headline typography). Don't blend 50/50.
|
||||
2. **Aesthetic components are atomic.** Don't mix and match components across aesthetics. One button system, one card system.
|
||||
3. **Typography pairs must be in the same family.** Söhne + Söhne Mono. GT America + GT America Mono. Inter + JetBrains Mono. Don't pair random faces.
|
||||
4. **Color palette stays in one aesthetic.** Don't mix Refined Minimal neutrals with Soft palette accents.
|
||||
|
||||
If a project needs more than one aesthetic (e.g., marketing site + product), treat them as **separate surfaces** with different design systems, sharing only typography family.

# Anti-Patterns — The Full Rejection Catalog
|
||||
|
||||
> When in doubt about whether something is slop, look it up here. If it's listed, redesign.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Visual Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. The Purple-Blue Gradient Hero
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Hero section with full-bleed `linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)`, centered headline in white, sometimes with a stock photo of a person at a laptop faintly visible.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** It was the default output of every AI image generator circa 2022 and became the visual shorthand for "AI made this." It carries zero information.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- White/off-white background, ink-colored headline set tight and large
|
||||
- Or a single full-bleed photograph with no gradient
|
||||
- Or a deliberately designed gradient (e.g., terminal green→black, monochrome, single hue at low opacity)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Glassmorphism on Everything
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Every card, modal, and nav has `backdrop-filter: blur(20px)`, translucent white background, soft border. Floating UI elements look like they're made of frosted glass.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Used to signal "modern app" but now signals "AI-generated template." Real apps (Linear, Stripe, Arc) avoid this because it hurts legibility and performance.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Solid surface colors with hairlines for separation
|
||||
- Or one focal glass element used sparingly (a key modal, the active nav)
|
||||
- Hairline borders (`1px solid var(--hairline)`)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. The Emoji Icon
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Feature cards with 🚀 ⚡ 🎨 💡 as the icon. Service descriptions with ✨ sprinkled.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Emoji are not icons. They render differently across systems, are not part of a designed system, and read as "we didn't bother with real icons."
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Real icon set (Lucide, Phosphor, Tabler, Heroicons — but used with intent, not all of them everywhere)
|
||||
- Custom SVG icons that match the visual weight of the type
|
||||
- No icon at all (typography alone can structure a section)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. The Pill Button Soup
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Every interactive element has `border-radius: 9999px`. Buttons, badges, cards, images, inputs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Reads as "we applied the default rounded-corner treatment to everything." Real design systems vary radius by component type.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Buttons: 6–8px radius (subtle) OR 0 (Swiss) OR pill (only for very specific cases like tags)
|
||||
- Cards: 8–12px radius OR 0
|
||||
- Images: 0 OR 4–8px (within cards)
|
||||
- Inputs: 6–8px radius OR 0
|
||||
- Set a **radius scale** (`--radius-sm`, `--radius-md`, `--radius-lg`) and stick to it.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. The Gummy Shadow
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Cards and elements with `box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 10px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.1), 0 20px 25px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` — multiple soft layers making everything look like it's made of marshmallow.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Heavy shadows + translucent surfaces = everything looks the same depth = nothing has hierarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- One precise shadow, not multiple. `box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.06), 0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.04)`
|
||||
- Or no shadow at all — use hairlines to separate surfaces
|
||||
- Or use a single elevated shadow for modals/popovers only
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. The Centered Hero Section
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Centered headline, centered subhead, centered CTA button(s), centered "trusted by" logo bar.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Centered alignment for primary content is the universal default. It signals no design decision was made.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Left-aligned headline, support element (image, product UI) on the right
|
||||
- Or a deliberate asymmetric composition
|
||||
- Or a single, oversized centered display headline (editorial style — make it a poster, not a template)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. The "Aurora" Background
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Animated, multi-color blob shapes behind content. Sometimes labeled as "mesh gradient" or "aurora UI."
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Decorative noise that actively hurts the content. The user came for information, not a screensaver.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Nothing. White space is the background.
|
||||
- Or a single, restrained decorative element (one geometric shape, one texture)
|
||||
- Or full-bleed photography that earns its place
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. The Blob Illustration
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Abstract 3D shapes — blobs, spheres, twisted toruses, often in pastel colors with soft gradients. Used as hero images or section dividers.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Looks like an AI image generator's default output. Carries no meaning.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Real product photography
|
||||
- Real illustration with intent (editorial, custom, meaningful)
|
||||
- A diagram, a chart, a piece of UI shown larger
|
||||
- Typography alone — sometimes the strongest hero has no image
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Drop Shadow on Text
|
||||
**Slop signature:** `text-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.5)` on headlines.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** It's a Photoshop effect from 2008. Headlines should be set clean.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:** No text shadow. Make the headline legible through contrast and size.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. The Stock Photo Smile
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Hero image of a young professional smiling at a laptop with a coffee, often with a slight gradient overlay. Or a diverse group of four people laughing around a whiteboard.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Says nothing about your specific product. Reads as "we didn't take our own photos."
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Real product UI screenshot (this is the most powerful hero for B2B SaaS)
|
||||
- Real photograph of the actual product / team / space
|
||||
- An abstract / editorial image that sets mood without being literal
|
||||
- No image — sometimes the strongest hero is pure typography
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Structural Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 11. The SaaS Sandwich
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Every page follows this exact structure:
|
||||
1. Hero (centered headline + 2 buttons)
|
||||
2. "Trusted by 10,000+" logo bar
|
||||
3. Three feature cards in a row
|
||||
4. "How it works" — three numbered steps with icons
|
||||
5. Three more feature cards (with screenshots)
|
||||
6. Testimonial carousel
|
||||
7. Pricing (three columns)
|
||||
8. FAQ accordion (8 questions)
|
||||
9. Big CTA section
|
||||
10. Footer with 5 columns of links
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** This is what every AI generates when asked to "make a SaaS landing page." It signals zero information architecture thinking.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Question the structure for THIS product. What's the one thing the visitor needs to know?
|
||||
- Editorial structure: maybe it's just a strong headline, a product screenshot, a few specific use cases, and a sign-up. No "trusted by," no FAQ.
|
||||
- Varied sections: a big quote, a data visualization, a side-by-side comparison, a real customer story — mix the rhythm.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 12. The Identical 3-Column Row
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Three identical cards in a row, repeated as a section. Each card has: small icon, headline, paragraph, optional link. Used 2–3 times down the page.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** The 3-column card row is the universal placeholder for "show some features." Repeating it compounds the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Make the cards different from each other — one has a screenshot, one has a number, one has a quote
|
||||
- Use varied layouts: 2-column, side-by-side, magazine-style spread
|
||||
- Sometimes the strongest feature presentation is a single sentence with a big number behind it
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 13. The Middle-Pricing-Card Highlight
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Three pricing tiers, middle one has a different color border, "Most Popular" badge, slightly larger, sometimes a glow.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** The pattern is so universal it's invisible — and it forces the user into a fake choice (the middle one). Also, who is it "most popular" for? Usually nobody.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Two tiers (most products only need two)
|
||||
- Or four tiers with the third one genuinely best (not the third by index, but the third by what makes sense for the buyer)
|
||||
- Or no pricing cards — a single page explaining pricing, with a calculator or contact form
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 14. The FAQ That Asks Nothing
|
||||
**Slop signature:** "What is [Product]?" "How does [Product] work?" "Is [Product] secure?" "How much does [Product] cost?" — generic questions that nobody actually asked.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Real FAQs come from real support tickets. If yours reads like a template, it didn't.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Real questions from real customers (check your support inbox)
|
||||
- Specific, surprising questions: "Can I use this with [specific competitor]?" "What happens to my data if I cancel?"
|
||||
- Or no FAQ at all — link to a real docs page
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 15. The Logo Bar of Lies
|
||||
**Slop signature:** "Trusted by" with 8–12 logos of companies you've never heard of. Or logos of real companies that aren't actually customers (a famous slop move).
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Users notice. Investors notice. Anyone technical notices. It's a credibility-destroying move.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Real customers with permission to use their logo
|
||||
- If you don't have many, show 3 prominently, not 12 dishonestly
|
||||
- Or skip this section entirely — it's not required
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 16. The Testimonial Carousel
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Three testimonials rotating every 5 seconds, each with a stock headshot, name, title, company, and a 2-sentence quote full of marketing words.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** No one reads rotating testimonials. Each one is too brief to convince. The carousel hides weak content.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- One long-form customer story (interview format, real photos, real numbers)
|
||||
- Or 3–6 static testimonials with full quotes, names, photos, no rotation
|
||||
- Or a case study link: "Read how [Company] used [Product] to [Specific Outcome]"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Copy Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 17. The Verb Stack
|
||||
**Slop examples:**
|
||||
- "Empowering businesses to thrive"
|
||||
- "Enabling teams to unlock their potential"
|
||||
- "Seamlessly integrate, effortlessly scale"
|
||||
- "Revolutionizing the future of work"
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Empty verbs. They sound like they say something but don't.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Specific verbs with specific objects: "Ship features 3x faster" / "Cut your AWS bill in half" / "Find any bug in under 60 seconds"
|
||||
- Or claims with evidence: "We moved 4TB of data in 8 minutes. Here's how."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 18. The Noun Without a Referent
|
||||
**Slop examples:**
|
||||
- "The future of work is here"
|
||||
- "Modern solutions for modern problems"
|
||||
- "A better way to [do vague thing]"
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Could apply to any company on Earth.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- The noun made specific: "The future of invoicing for French freelancers" / "A better way to ship pull requests"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 19. The Generic Headline
|
||||
**Slop examples:**
|
||||
- "Welcome to [Brand]"
|
||||
- "The platform for [audience]"
|
||||
- "Built for the modern [audience]"
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Says nothing. Adds friction. User bounces.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- A headline that makes a claim: "Stop writing CSS. Start describing what you want."
|
||||
- A headline that names the user: "For designers who'd rather think than fiddle."
|
||||
- A headline that's specific enough to be slightly weird: "The invoicing app for people who hate invoicing."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 20. The Three-Adjective Stack
|
||||
**Slop examples:**
|
||||
- "Fast. Simple. Beautiful."
|
||||
- "Powerful. Flexible. Reliable."
|
||||
- "Modern. Elegant. Open."
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Says nothing while sounding like it does. Also: the words contradict each other often (can something be powerful AND simple?).
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- One word that actually means something specific to your product: "Quiet." / "Honest." / "Yours."
|
||||
- Or a full sentence that makes a claim.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 21. The Lorem Ipsum in Disguise
|
||||
**Slop examples:**
|
||||
- "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" (literally)
|
||||
- "Description goes here"
|
||||
- "Subheading about the value proposition"
|
||||
- "Tagline"
|
||||
- Placeholder copy left in by a careless draft
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** If the copy is placeholder, the design is a sketch. Ship real content.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Real copy. Even if imperfect. Especially if imperfect — it shows you've thought about the actual words.
|
||||
- If you must use placeholder: write lorem ipsum clearly, mark it as placeholder, and ASK the user for real copy.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### 22. Tailwind Utility Soup
|
||||
**Slop signature:** `<div class="bg-white rounded-xl shadow-md p-6 hover:shadow-lg transition-all duration-300 hover:-translate-y-1">` — 14 utilities, no extraction, no semantic naming.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** No design system. No consistency. Can't change one thing in one place.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Components (`.card`, `.button`, `.input`)
|
||||
- CSS layers with custom properties
|
||||
- `@apply` for utility composition
|
||||
- Or at minimum: extract repeating patterns into named classes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 23. Inline Styles for Tokens
|
||||
**Slop signature:** `style={{ color: '#5E6AD2', padding: '24px', fontSize: '14px' }}` — raw values inline, no token system.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Can never change globally. No design system = no design.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Use token CSS variables (`color: var(--accent)`)
|
||||
- Or Tailwind theme values, not arbitrary values
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 24. The `transition-all` Everything
|
||||
**Slop signature:** `transition-all duration-200` on every interactive element.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Transitions specific properties (`color`, `background`, `transform`), not all. `transition-all` includes layout properties, causing jank.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
- Specify: `transition: color 150ms ease, background-color 150ms ease, transform 200ms ease;`
|
||||
- Or use Tailwind's specific: `transition-colors duration-150`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 25. Default Focus Rings
|
||||
**Slop signature:** No `:focus-visible` styles. Browser default dotted outline on form elements only. Or `outline: none` with no replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Inaccessible. Keyboard users can't tell where they are.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:**
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:focus-visible {
|
||||
outline: 2px solid var(--accent);
|
||||
outline-offset: 2px;
|
||||
border-radius: inherit;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 26. Div Soup
|
||||
**Slop signature:** `<div><div><div class="..."></div></div></div>` where `<section>`, `<article>`, `<nav>`, `<header>`, `<footer>`, `<main>`, `<aside>` exist.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** No semantic meaning. Screen readers can't navigate. Search engines can't parse.
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace with:** Use semantic HTML. Always. The right element is almost always available.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 27. `font-weight: 700` on Everything
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Every heading, every button, every label is `font-weight: 700`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** The face was chosen for its 400 weight. Ignoring the weight range loses the typeface's character.
|
||||
|

### 28. Emoji in Source Code
|
||||
**Slop signature:** Commit messages, comments, console output with 🎉 🚀 ✨.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why it's slop:** Same reason as emoji icons. Use words.
|
||||

## What to Do When You Catch Yourself
|
||||
|
||||
When you realize you're producing slop — and you will, because it's the default gravity of LLM output — apply this recovery protocol:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Stop.** Don't keep refining the slop.
|
||||
2. **Name it.** "I am about to ship [specific anti-pattern]."
|
||||
3. **Identify the real job.** "This section is supposed to [specific job]. What's a non-slop way to do that?"
|
||||
4. **Look at a reference.** Open Linear.com / Stripe.com / a Pentagram project / a magazine spread. What did they do?
|
||||
5. **Redo the smallest version.** Strip back to the smallest correct version. Then add one detail.
|
||||
6. **Ship the smallest version.** It's better than the largest slop version.

# Brutalist Patterns — Bandcamp, Working Format, early Bloomberg Businessweek
|
||||
|
||||
> A deep-dive into brutalist and raw sub-styles. Read this when `aesthetics.md` §4 (Brutalist / Raw) is right for the project, but you need a specific reference direction. Each sub-style has concrete rules, typography, layouts, and references.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use this file
|
||||
|
||||
`aesthetics.md` §4 says: **Brutalist / Raw** for music, fashion, streetwear, art, counterculture, alternative media, edgy tech.
|
||||
|
||||
This file says: **which brutalist cousin** to ship. Because "brutalism" without specificity is unstyled HTML, not designed brutalism. The principle: **brutalism is a choice, not a lack of effort.**
|
||||
|
||||
Decision rule:
|
||||
1. **Is the project music, fashion, art, counterculture, edgy tech, or alternative media?** If no → wrong family, go back to `aesthetics.md`.
|
||||
2. **Pick the sub-style** that matches the audience and tone.
|
||||
3. **Commit to it.** The sub-style is the design system, not a decoration.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Sub-style comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Sub-style | Mood | Type | Color | Audience |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Bandcamp** | Functional raw, album-archive | Mixed sans + mono | Mostly monochrome with album art | Music listeners, musicians, indie labels |
|
||||
| **Working Format** | Editorial-influenced raw, considered | Sans display, restrained | B/W with bold accent | Music industry, fashion editorial |
|
||||
| **Bloomberg BW covers (2010–2015)** | Loud, dense, graphic, opinionated | Mixed sans/serif/mono | Flat saturated blocks | News readers, designers, intellectuals |
|
||||
| **Brutalist Websites gallery** | Pure HTML aesthetic, geometric | Often default system | Often no color | Designers studying history, art students |
|
||||
| **Slam Jam / Italian fashion** | Loud typography, mixed media | Often condensed display | Black + one bold accent | Fashion, streetwear, art |
|
||||
|
||||
When unsure → **Working Format**. It's the safest brutalist baseline for "considered raw."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The brutalist principle (read first)
|
||||
|
||||
Before choosing a sub-style, internalize the principle:
|
||||
|
||||
> **Brutalism is a choice, not a lack of effort.**
|
||||
|
||||
True brutalism has:
|
||||
- ✅ **Strong typography decisions** (often louder, not quieter)
|
||||
- ✅ **Considered asymmetry** (deliberately off, not careless)
|
||||
- ✅ **One or two moments of polish** inside the rawness (a beautiful spread, a perfect composition)
|
||||
- ✅ **Loud + quiet alternation** (not constant noise)
|
||||
- ✅ **Self-aware** (the roughness is a *statement*, not an accident)
|
||||
|
||||
False brutalism has:
|
||||
- ❌ Default system fonts without choice
|
||||
- ❌ Random colors with no logic
|
||||
- ❌ Sloppy where sloppiness isn't the point
|
||||
- ❌ No considered moments — just noise throughout
|
||||
- ❌ Inaccessible by design (low contrast, missing alt text)
|
||||
|
||||
**If your brutalism has no deliberate moments, it's not brutalism — it's unfinished.** Add at least one perfect composition per page.

## 1. Bandcamp
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [bandcamp.com](https://bandcamp.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Functional, raw, archive-first. Bandcamp's design treats each album as an object. The interface gets out of the way — the album art and metadata carry the design. Strong typography, hairline rules, considered density.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Music platforms, audio tools
|
||||
- Archives, libraries, databases
|
||||
- Anything where *content objects* are the focus
|
||||
- Indie, considered, low-decoration
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF /* or #1A1A1A for dark mode */
|
||||
--ink: #1A1A1A /* near-black on light, white on dark */
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E5E5E5 /* on light */
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #C7C7C7
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #629AA9 /* Bandcamp teal — used sparingly */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #E0EEF1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The teal is used on tags, links, and active states. Most of the design is monochrome.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **ITC Avant Garde Gothic** (paid, the original Bandcamp face) — substitute **Inter** or **Söhne**
|
||||
- Sometimes **Verdana** for body (Bandcamp's signature body choice) — substitute **Source Sans** or **Inter**
|
||||
- Mono for metadata: **IBM Plex Mono** or **JetBrains Mono**
|
||||
- Hero size: `clamp(2rem, 4vw, 3rem)` — calm, not dramatic
|
||||
- Tracking: 0 or -0.01em (Bandcamp doesn't track tight aggressively)
|
||||
- Line-height: 1.4 on body
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- **Dense, archive-first.** Lists are long, info is packed.
|
||||
- **Generous use of metadata visible.** Track count, runtime, date, label, tags.
|
||||
- **Asymmetric grids** for editorial features.
|
||||
- **Strong use of hairlines** to organize dense info.
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Album-art-as-anchor.** Each item is dominated by cover art + minimal metadata.
|
||||
- ✅ **Dense list views.** Long lists of items, hairline-separated.
|
||||
- ✅ **Visible metadata.** Tags, dates, runtimes — all visible, not hidden.
|
||||
- ✅ **Strong typography hierarchy** through size, not weight.
|
||||
- ✅ **Player UI** as a design element (the bottom player is part of the page).
|
||||
- ✅ **Tag system** with semantic color (each tag = teal accent).
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Dense, archive-first
|
||||
- ✅ Metadata visible and considered
|
||||
- ✅ Hairline rules for organization
|
||||
- ✅ Album art / content objects as primary visual
|
||||
- ✅ Restrained accent (teal)
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Loud gradients
|
||||
- ❌ Heavy drop shadows
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative illustrations
|
||||
- ❌ Generic "3-card features"
|
||||
- ❌ Centering everything
|
||||

|
||||
## 2. Working Format
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [workingformat.com](https://www.workingformat.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Music industry design studio with editorial-influenced raw aesthetic. Strong typography, black/white with bold accent, asymmetric layouts, considered spacing. Working Format treats each project as a magazine spread — image + text + structure, designed quietly.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Music industry / record labels
|
||||
- Editorial projects with raw feel
|
||||
- Studios that want to be "considered but not corporate"
|
||||
- Anything targeting designers, musicians, fashion people
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--ink: #000000 /* true black */
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #FF0000 /* bold red — used as punctuation */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #FFE5E5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Working Format often uses **pure black + white + one bold accent** (often red or hot pink). High contrast is mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Sans display throughout** (Inter, Söhne substitute)
|
||||
- **Mono for metadata** (JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono)
|
||||
- Hero size: `clamp(3rem, 7vw, 6rem)` — confident, often large
|
||||
- Tracking: -0.03em to -0.04em on display
|
||||
- Line-height: 1.0 to 1.05 on display (tight)
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1280px
|
||||
- **Asymmetric, considered.** Image bleeds, text columns offset.
|
||||
- **Project spreads** treated like magazine layouts.
|
||||
- **Section markers** in mono, all-caps, wide tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Project spread as primary design.** Each case is a magazine-style spread.
|
||||
- ✅ **Bold typography set tight.** Headlines at large size, very tight leading.
|
||||
- ✅ **High contrast** (true black on pure white).
|
||||
- ✅ **One bold accent** used as a punctuation mark, not as background.
|
||||
- ✅ **Asymmetric grids** with deliberate imbalance.
|
||||
- ✅ **Mono metadata** (project name, year, type) in caps, wide tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Pure black + white + one accent
|
||||
- ✅ Tight display type, often large
|
||||
- ✅ Asymmetric magazine-spread layouts
|
||||
- ✅ Mono metadata in caps
|
||||
- ✅ Image + text composition as design
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Pastel colors
|
||||
- ❌ Gradients
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative borders
|
||||
- ❌ Generic SaaS feature presentation
|
||||
- ❌ Centering everything

## 3. Bloomberg Businessweek covers (2010–2015)
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** Bloomberg Businessweek archive
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
The Bloomberg BW covers under Richard Turley (2010–2015) became a reference for editorial brutalism: **loud, dense, graphic, opinionated.** Mixed typefaces (sans, serif, mono) in single compositions. Flat color blocks. Massive type. No fear of density or color.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a specific subset of the broader Bloomberg BW aesthetic covered in `editorial-patterns.md` — the cover work specifically.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- News / current affairs brands with strong opinions
|
||||
- Editorial products that want to be noticed
|
||||
- Magazine covers, posters, hero sections
|
||||
- Anything that needs editorial "edge"
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
Bloomberg BW covers used **flat color blocks** as design elements:
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF /* or black, or saturated color */
|
||||
|
||||
--accent-red: #FF0000
|
||||
--accent-yellow: #FFD700
|
||||
--accent-blue: #0033A0
|
||||
--accent-green: #00A651
|
||||
--accent-magenta: #FF0080
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These are used as **full-block backgrounds** or as accent rectangles — never as gradients.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Mixed typefaces** in single compositions (this is the signature)
|
||||
- Sans: Akzidenz-Grotesk, Inter substitute
|
||||
- Serif: Tiempos, GT Super substitute
|
||||
- Mono: Berkeley Mono, JetBrains Mono substitute
|
||||
- Hero size: massive — 200pt+ on covers
|
||||
- Tracking: varies wildly (Bloomberg BW uses both tight and wide as a design move)
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- **Magazine covers** as primary composition
|
||||
- **Mixed scale** — multiple type sizes on one spread
|
||||
- **No whitespace fear** — covers are dense
|
||||
- **Color blocks** as compositional elements
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Cover as hero.** Each section opening is a magazine cover — massive type, big image (or solid color), issue number, kicker.
|
||||
- ✅ **Mixed typefaces in one composition.** Sans + serif + mono often overlap or sit together.
|
||||
- ✅ **Flat color blocks** as design elements — full-bleed rectangles.
|
||||
- ✅ **Issue markers**, datelines, "in this issue" panels.
|
||||
- ✅ **Loud + quiet alternation.** Some spreads are quiet, others are loud.
|
||||
- ✅ **Pull quotes at display scale.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Type mixing as a design move (not as indecision)
|
||||
- ✅ Flat color blocks (not gradients)
|
||||
- ✅ Cover-style compositions
|
||||
- ✅ Magazine density with considered elegance
|
||||
- ✅ Loud + quiet alternation
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Generic SaaS feature presentation
|
||||
- ❌ Centered everything
|
||||
- ❌ Pastels (Bloomberg BW uses saturated)
|
||||
- ❌ Gradients (flat color blocks only)
|
||||
- ❌ Default Tailwind aesthetic

## 4. Brutalist Websites (gallery inspiration)
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [brutalistwebsites.com](https://brutalistwebsites.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
A curated gallery of websites that embrace raw, unstyled-feeling design — but each is a deliberate choice. The aesthetic varies wildly, but the unifying principle is **honest materials, visible structure, anti-decoration.**
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Art projects, experimental sites
|
||||
- Counterculture, alternative media
|
||||
- Anything that wants to feel "honest" or "raw"
|
||||
- Design student / academic projects
|
||||
|
||||
### Patterns common across the gallery
|
||||
|
||||
**Typography**
|
||||
- ✅ **Default system fonts** are sometimes used as a *statement* (Helvetica, Arial, Times)
|
||||
- ✅ **Custom condensed or display fonts** for impact moments
|
||||
- ✅ **Mono for technical / metadata content**
|
||||
- ✅ **Massive scale contrasts** — 12pt next to 200pt
|
||||
|
||||
**Color**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pure white, pure black, or one crude color** (lime, hot pink, hazard yellow)
|
||||
- ✅ **High contrast mandatory**
|
||||
- ✅ **No gradients.** Flat blocks only.
|
||||
|
||||
**Layout**
|
||||
- ✅ **Visible grid artifacts** (alignment deliberately off by 1px)
|
||||
- ✅ **Tables as layout** (sometimes)
|
||||
- ✅ **Underlined links in default browser blue**
|
||||
- ✅ **Image crops unexpected**
|
||||
- ✅ **Marquee / scrolling text** used surgically
|
||||
- ✅ **Negative space as confrontation** — emptiness used aggressively
|
||||
|
||||
**Detail**
|
||||
- ✅ **HTML validity** is respected (semantic markup even when raw-looking)
|
||||
- ✅ **Keyboard navigation** still works (raw ≠ broken)
|
||||
- ✅ **Self-aware** — the roughness is a *choice*
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **System fonts used as statement** ("Helvetica, because Helvetica").
|
||||
- ✅ **Massive headline next to small body** — extreme scale contrast.
|
||||
- ✅ **Underlined links** in default browser blue (no custom underline).
|
||||
- ✅ **Image at unexpected crops** — not centered, not balanced.
|
||||
- ✅ **Marquee text** (very slow, used surgically).
|
||||
- ✅ **Visible HTML structure** (sometimes borders, debug info).
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Self-aware rawness
|
||||
- ✅ Anti-decoration
|
||||
- ✅ High contrast
|
||||
- ✅ Extreme scale contrast
|
||||
- ✅ Default system fonts (sometimes)
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Calling it "brutalist" but shipping unstyled HTML — that's not brutalism, that's unfinished.
|
||||
- ❌ Random colors with no logic.
|
||||
- ❌ Sloppy where sloppiness isn't the point.
|
||||
- ❌ **Inaccessible by design** — low contrast, missing alt text, no keyboard nav. Brutalism ≠ broken.
|
||||
- ❌ Loud throughout — there must be quiet moments too.

## 5. Slam Jam / Italian fashion editorial
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [slamjam.com](https://www.slamjam.com), [ssense.com editorial](https://www.ssense.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Loud typography, mixed media, fashion-led. Often condensed display type, bold sans, black + one accent. Image-led with strong typographic overlays. The aesthetic of "fashion editorial that wants to be noticed."
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Fashion, streetwear, art
|
||||
- Editorial commerce (high-end)
|
||||
- Anything targeting fashion-literate audience
|
||||
- Counterculture with premium positioning
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF /* or #0A0A0A for dark */
|
||||
--ink: #000000 /* true black */
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #FF0080 /* hot pink — fashion signature */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #FFE0F0
|
||||
|
||||
--accent-secondary: #FFD700 /* sometimes yellow, lime, electric blue */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Slam Jam often uses **black + hot pink + one secondary** (yellow or electric blue). High contrast mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Condensed display** (Druk, Aktiv Grotesk Black, or substitute via free condensed fonts)
|
||||
- **Sans body** (Inter, Söhne substitute)
|
||||
- **Mono for technical content** (JetBrains Mono)
|
||||
- Hero size: massive — `clamp(4rem, 10vw, 9rem)` or larger
|
||||
- Tracking: -0.02em to -0.04em on display
|
||||
- Line-height: 1.0 on display
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1280px (sometimes wider, full-bleed)
|
||||
- **Image-led.** Photography dominates.
|
||||
- **Typographic overlays** on images (text set directly on photo, often with subtle contrast adjustment).
|
||||
- **Asymmetric grids.** Deliberate imbalance.
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Image + type composition.** Text set directly on photos, often white or accent color.
|
||||
- ✅ **Massive condensed display.** Narrow, tall, loud.
|
||||
- ✅ **Black + one bold accent** (often hot pink or yellow).
|
||||
- ✅ **Asymmetric, full-bleed.**
|
||||
- ✅ **Marquee or scrolling text** for editorial moments.
|
||||
- ✅ **Strong image crops** — not safe, not centered.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Condensed display type, often massive
|
||||
- ✅ Image + type overlay
|
||||
- ✅ Black + one bold accent
|
||||
- ✅ High contrast
|
||||
- ✅ Editorial fashion voice
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Pastels
|
||||
- ❌ Gradients
|
||||
- ❌ Generic SaaS feature presentation
|
||||
- ❌ Tailwind default aesthetic
|
||||
- ❌ Safe image crops

|

---
|
||||
|
||||
## Hybrid rules
|
||||
|
||||
When combining brutalist sub-styles:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pick dominant 70/30.** Don't blend evenly.
|
||||
2. **Share color philosophy.** Don't blend monochrome with multi-accent.
|
||||
3. **Share type philosophy.** Don't blend Bandcamp's Verdana-style with Bloomberg BW's mixed typefaces (unless intentional).
|
||||
4. **One perfect moment per page.** Even in the rawness, have one composition that's polished — that's the design.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Accessibility in brutalism
|
||||
|
||||
Critical: brutalism ≠ broken.
|
||||
|
||||
Even when shipping raw-feeling design, you MUST:
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ **Maintain WCAG AA contrast** (4.5:1 for body text). Pure black on pure white is fine (21:1).
|
||||
- ✅ **Provide alt text** for all meaningful images. Empty `alt=""` for decorative.
|
||||
- ✅ **Respect keyboard navigation.** Tab, Enter, Escape must work.
|
||||
- ✅ **Honor `prefers-reduced-motion`**. Even brutalist motion should be reducible.
|
||||
- ✅ **Use semantic HTML.** Even when it looks raw.
|
||||
- ✅ **Provide skip-to-content** links on long pages.
|
||||
|
||||
If your brutalism is inaccessible, it's not brutalism — it's unfinished. Period.

# Quality Checklist — Before You Ship
|
||||
|
||||
> Run this before declaring a page done. Each item is something an LLM tends to skip. Each item is what separates shipped-from-a-template from designed-by-a-human.
|

||||
## Structure
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] NOT the SaaS sandwich (hero → social proof → 3 cards → 3 cards → testimonials → pricing → FAQ → CTA)
|
||||
- [ ] Each section has a job. No filler sections.
|
||||
- [ ] Pricing has 2 or 4 tiers, not 3 with the middle one highlighted

|
||||
---

|
||||
- [ ] Focus-visible state visible on every interactive element
|
||||
- [ ] Semantic HTML (`<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`, `<section>`, `<aside>`)

|
||||
- [ ] Form inputs have labels (not just placeholders)
|
||||

||||
- [ ] Tab order is logical

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Edge Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] 404 page is designed (not default server page)
|
||||

|
||||
- [ ] Empty state visible (when no data)
|
||||
- [ ] Error state visible (with clear next step)
|
||||
- [ ] Long text doesn't break the layout
|
||||
- [ ] Missing image has a fallback
|
||||
- [ ] Slow connection tested (3G throttle)
|
||||
- [ ] Offline behavior considered (or at least: page loads, doesn't break)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Final Tests
|
||||
|
||||
### The Vignelli Test
|
||||
> "Would Massimo Vignelli approve?"
|
||||
- Is the grid clean?
|
||||
- Is the typography doing the work?
|
||||
- Is the color restrained?
|
||||
|
||||
### The Studio Test
|
||||
> "Could you ship this at Linear / Stripe / Pentagram?"
|
||||
- Would a senior designer here sign off on this without changes?
|
||||
|
||||
### The Screenshot Test
|
||||
> "Would someone screenshot this for design inspiration?"
|
||||
- Are there any moments worth capturing?
|
||||
- Or is the whole page forgettable?
|
||||
|
||||
### The 2 AM Test
|
||||
> "If you showed this at 2 AM with no context, would the visitor know what it is?"
|
||||
- Does the hero do its job?
|
||||
- Are the headlines legible and specific?
|
||||
|
||||
### The Critique Test
|
||||
> "Could you defend every choice in a design critique?"
|
||||
- The accent color choice?
|
||||
- The spacing decisions?
|
||||
- The copy?
|
||||
|
||||
### The Removal Test
|
||||
> "If you removed one element, would the design be better?"
|
||||
- If yes, remove it.
|
||||
- Then ask again.
|
||||
- Repeat until the answer is no.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Ship Decision
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] All checklist items above are addressed (or consciously skipped with reason)
|
||||
- [ ] The design feels **considered**, not generated
|
||||
- [ ] I would be proud to put my name on this
|
||||
- [ ] I would recommend this to a friend who asked for a great website
|
||||
|
||||
If any answer is no: keep iterating. The goal is craft, not completion.

# Code Style — Quality code, not GPT-slop
|
||||
|
||||
> A skill for AI agents writing code. Goal: code that reads as if written by a senior engineer who cares — not by an LLM padding for length. Apply this alongside the design skills when building anything.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Identity
|
||||
|
||||
You are a **senior engineer-craftsman**. You write code the way a senior engineer writes code: small functions, clear names, no comments that say what the code already says, no error swallowing, no over-engineering, no magic. The code you write is the code you would be proud to show in a code review.
|
||||
|
||||
Your north stars:
|
||||
- **Code that's easy to delete** is more valuable than code that's easy to write.
|
||||
- **A function should do one thing, do it well, and be small enough to read in 30 seconds.**
|
||||
- **The best comment is the one you didn't need to write.**
|
||||
- **If the code is good, you won't notice the code. If it's bad, you notice immediately.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Core Philosophy (10 Principles)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Delete first.** Before adding a line, ask: can I delete something instead? Most codebases have too much code, not too little.
|
||||
2. **Names are the design.** Spend more time choosing names than writing code. A function called `processData` is broken. A function called `parseInvoiceFromXml` is not.
|
||||
3. **One job per function.** If a function has two purposes, split it. If a function has no clear purpose, delete it.
|
||||
4. **Comments explain why, not what.** The code shows what. The comment shows why this exists, why this choice, why not the alternative.
|
||||
5. **Errors are values, not exceptions to swallow.** Handle errors explicitly. Don't wrap everything in `try/catch {}` to make TypeScript happy.
|
||||
6. **No magic numbers.** If `0.5` appears, name it (`HALF_OPACITY`). If `3600` appears, name it (`SECONDS_PER_HOUR`).
|
||||
7. **Type discipline is not optional.** In TypeScript: no `any`. In Python: type hints. In Go: explicit types. Lying to the type system is lying to yourself.
|
||||
8. **Small surface area.** Export less. Public less. Couple less. Every export is a contract someone has to maintain.
|
||||
9. **Test the boundaries, not the implementation.** Don't test that `add(1, 2) === 3`. Test that the user-facing behavior is correct.
|
||||
10. **Read the code you wrote yesterday.** If you can't, simplify it. Code is read more than it's written.
|
||||

|
||||
## 3. GPT-Slop in Code — Instant Rejection List
|
||||
|
||||
If your output contains these patterns, **delete and rewrite.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop comments
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ `// This function adds two numbers` above `function add(a, b) { return a + b }` — the comment says nothing the code doesn't say
|
||||
- ❌ `// Loop through array` above `for (const item of items) { ... }` — same
|
||||
- ❌ `// Initialize variable` above `let count = 0` — same
|
||||
- ❌ `// TODO: ...` without context, owner, or expected fix
|
||||
- ❌ `// This is a class that represents a user` — the class name already says this
|
||||
- ❌ `// Helper function` — what does it help with?
|
||||
- ❌ `// Edge case` above code that doesn't actually handle an edge case
|
||||
- ❌ `// Step 1: ..., Step 2: ..., Step 3: ...` — refactor instead
|
||||
- ❌ Doc comments that just rephrase the function signature: `/** * Gets the user by id. */ function getUser(id) {...}`
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop error handling
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Empty `catch {}` blocks
|
||||
- ❌ `catch (e) { console.log(e) }` — never reaches the user
|
||||
- ❌ `catch (e) {}` — silently swallows
|
||||
- ❌ Catching `Error` when you should catch a specific type
|
||||
- ❌ Throwing generic `Error('Something went wrong')` without context
|
||||
- ❌ `try/catch` around pure synchronous code that can't throw
|
||||
- ❌ Validation that returns early with no error message
|
||||
- ❌ `if (error) return error` — error is data, not control flow
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop naming
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ `data`, `result`, `item`, `value`, `obj`, `temp`, `tmp`, `x`, `y`, `foo`, `bar`
|
||||
- ❌ `doSomething`, `processData`, `handleStuff`, `runLogic`, `executeAction`
|
||||
- ❌ `Manager`, `Handler`, `Helper`, `Util`, `Wrapper`, `Processor`, `Service` (often indicates a class that does too much)
|
||||
- ❌ `data1`, `data2`, `dataNew`, `dataFinal` — if you need `dataFinal`, you have a naming problem
|
||||
- ❌ `getUserInfo` then accessing `userInfo.name` — name it `getUser`
|
||||
- ❌ `async fetchData()` that returns `Promise<any>` — `any` lies
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop structure
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Functions > 50 lines (almost always should be split)
|
||||
- ❌ Functions > 5 parameters (group into an object)
|
||||
- ❌ Deeply nested conditionals (`if (a) { if (b) { if (c) { ... }}}`) — flatten with early returns
|
||||
- ❌ God files > 500 lines (split by responsibility)
|
||||
- ❌ God classes > 10 methods, each doing a different thing (split by responsibility)
|
||||
- ❌ Re-implementing standard library (`myMap`, `myFilter`, `customClone`)
|
||||
- ❌ Re-implementing the language (`myDebounce`, `customPromise`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop TypeScript
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ `any` — always. Even "just this once"
|
||||
- ❌ `as any` — same
|
||||
- ❌ `as unknown as X` — the type system is telling you something
|
||||
- ❌ `// @ts-ignore` — fix the type, don't suppress
|
||||
- ❌ `// @ts-expect-error` without a comment explaining why
|
||||
- ❌ Non-null assertion `!` everywhere
|
||||
- ❌ Optional chaining as a substitute for fixing types: `obj?.a?.b?.c?.d`
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ `lodash` for `_.get` when you can write `obj?.a?.b`
|
||||
- ❌ `moment` (deprecated — use date-fns or native)
|
||||
- ❌ `request` (deprecated — use fetch)
|
||||
- ❌ Adding a dependency for one function (write the function)
|
||||
- ❌ Adding a UI library when you only need 2 components (write the components)
|
||||
- ❌ Using `axios` when `fetch` would work
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop logic
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Boolean parameters that change behavior: `doThing(x, true, false)` — split into named functions
|
||||
- ❌ Comparing with `==` instead of `===` (in JS/TS)
|
||||
- ❌ `parseInt(x)` without radix — use `parseInt(x, 10)`
|
||||
- ❌ Modifying function arguments
|
||||
- ❌ Mutating React state directly
|
||||
- ❌ `setTimeout` for animation when CSS exists
|
||||
- ❌ Regex for parsing HTML/XML
|
||||
- ❌ String concatenation for HTML (XSS waiting to happen)
|
||||
|
||||
### Slop tests
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Tests that just call the function and assert it doesn't throw
|
||||
- ❌ Tests that mock everything (testing the mock)
|
||||
- ❌ Tests that copy-paste the implementation
|
||||
- ❌ Tests named `test1`, `test2`, `testFinal`
|
||||
- ❌ Tests with no assertions
|
||||
- ❌ Tests that depend on each other
|
||||
- ❌ Tests that depend on the network, file system, or time

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Naming
|
||||
|
||||
### Variables
|
||||
|
||||
A name should answer: **what is this, in the context where it's used?**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ const d = new Date()
|
||||
✅ const createdAt = new Date()
|
||||
|
||||
❌ const list = getUsers()
|
||||
✅ const activeUsers = getUsers()
|
||||
|
||||
❌ for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++)
|
||||
✅ for (const item of items) // or items.forEach if mutation needed
|
||||
|
||||
❌ const result = await api.fetch()
|
||||
✅ const user = await api.fetchUser()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Boolean names** are questions:
|
||||
- `isActive`, `hasPermission`, `canEdit`, `shouldRefresh`, `willRetry`
|
||||
- Never: `flag`, `bool`, `check`, `status` (alone)
|
||||
|
||||
**Number names** are units:
|
||||
- `timeoutMs`, `maxRetries`, `pageSize`, `intervalSeconds`
|
||||
- Never: `num`, `count` (alone), `n`
|
||||
|
||||
**String names** are content:
|
||||
- `userName`, `emailSubject`, `errorMessage`
|
||||
- Never: `str`, `text`, `s`
|
||||
|
||||
### Functions
|
||||
|
||||
A function name is a **verb phrase** (or noun phrase for pure getters):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ function data() {...}
|
||||
✅ function fetchInvoice(id) {...}
|
||||
|
||||
❌ function user() {...} // what about the user?
|
||||
✅ function getCurrentUser() {...}
|
||||
|
||||
❌ function process(data) {...} // process how?
|
||||
✅ function normalizeInvoice(raw) {...}
|
||||
|
||||
❌ function handler(req, res) {...} // handles what?
|
||||
✅ function handleSignupRequest(req, res) {...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pure functions:** past tense or noun (`sum`, `normalize`, `formatDate`)
|
||||
**Side-effecting functions:** present tense verb (`saveUser`, `sendEmail`, `deleteAccount`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Classes / Types
|
||||
|
||||
A class name is a **noun** that describes the *thing*, not the *job*:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ class UserManager {...} // "manager" says nothing
|
||||
✅ class User {...} // or split into specific behaviors
|
||||
|
||||
❌ class DataProcessor {...} // processes what data how?
|
||||
✅ class InvoiceParser {...}
|
||||
|
||||
❌ class StringHelper {...} // "helper" means "I gave up naming"
|
||||
✅ class EmailValidator {...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Files
|
||||
|
||||
A file name describes what it contains, not what it does:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ utils.ts, helpers.ts, common.ts // catch-all buckets
|
||||
✅ invoice-parser.ts, email-validator.ts
|
||||
|
||||
❌ user.ts (with User class, UserService, UserHelpers, UserTypes)
|
||||
✅ user.ts (with just User), user-service.ts, user-types.ts
|
||||
|
||||
❌ index.ts that re-exports everything
|
||||
✅ specific files
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
One file, one responsibility. If a file has both a parser and a validator, split it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Booleans that change behavior
|
||||
|
||||
If you have `processItem(item, true, false)`, you have a naming problem. Split:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ function render(html, isDark, isPrint) {...}
|
||||
✅ function renderHtml(html) {...}
|
||||
✅ function renderDarkHtml(html) {...}
|
||||
✅ function renderPrintHtml(html) {...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or accept an options object: `function render(html, { theme, format })`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Functions
|
||||
|
||||
### Size
|
||||
|
||||
A function should fit on **one screen** (typically 30–50 lines max). If it doesn't, split it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Single responsibility
|
||||
|
||||
A function does **one thing** at one level of abstraction:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ function handleSignup() {
|
||||
validateInput()
|
||||
hashPassword()
|
||||
saveToDatabase()
|
||||
sendWelcomeEmail()
|
||||
logAnalytics()
|
||||
return user
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
✅ function handleSignup(input) {
|
||||
const valid = validateSignupInput(input)
|
||||
const user = createUser(valid)
|
||||
await sendWelcomeEmail(user.email)
|
||||
return user
|
||||
}
|
||||
// (helper functions each do one thing)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parameters
|
||||
|
||||
Maximum **3 parameters**. More than that = use an object:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ function createUser(name, email, age, role, password, address) {...}
|
||||
|
||||
✅ function createUser({ name, email, age, role, password, address }) {...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Required parameters first, optional last. No boolean flags — split into named functions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pure functions
|
||||
|
||||
Prefer **pure functions** (no side effects, same input = same output). Pure functions are testable, composable, and easy to reason about.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ const fullName = (user) => `${user.firstName} ${user.lastName}`
|
||||
✅ const isAdult = (user) => user.age >= 18
|
||||
✅ const totalPrice = (items) => items.reduce((sum, i) => sum + i.price, 0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Side effects (network, file system, logging, time) go in their own clearly-named functions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Early returns
|
||||
|
||||
Flatten nested conditionals with **early returns**:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ function getDiscount(user) {
|
||||
let discount = 0
|
||||
if (user) {
|
||||
if (user.isPremium) {
|
||||
if (user.yearsActive > 5) {
|
||||
discount = 0.3
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
discount = 0.2
|
||||
}
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
discount = 0.1
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
return discount
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
✅ function getDiscount(user) {
|
||||
if (!user) return 0
|
||||
if (!user.isPremium) return 0.1
|
||||
if (user.yearsActive > 5) return 0.3
|
||||
return 0.2
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ `function` that does A then B then C (split)
|
||||
- ❌ `function` that takes 5+ parameters (group)
|
||||
- ❌ `function` that mutates arguments
|
||||
- ❌ `function` with side effects buried in logic
|
||||
- ❌ `function` named after its implementation, not its purpose (`useStateWithCallback`)
|
||||
- ❌ `function` that returns different shapes based on input (`{ ok: true, ...data } | { ok: false, error: ... }` — design this carefully)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Comments
|
||||
|
||||
### The cardinal rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Comments explain WHY. Code shows WHAT.**
|
||||
|
||||
If your comment says what the code does, delete it. The code already does that.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to write a comment
|
||||
|
||||
- **Why this exists** — the problem this code solves, the constraint that led to this solution
|
||||
- **Why not the alternative** — when there's a non-obvious reason for choosing this approach
|
||||
- **Gotchas** — "Note: this API returns null instead of throwing"
|
||||
- **References** — links to specs, design docs, bug reports, discussions
|
||||
- **Trade-offs** — "We could memoize here, but it costs 2KB for a 1% win"
|
||||
|
||||
### When NOT to write a comment
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ What the code does (the code does that)
|
||||
- ❌ What the function name already says
|
||||
- ❌ "Step 1, Step 2, Step 3" — refactor instead
|
||||
- ❌ TODO without context — TODO is a promise to the future, write the context
|
||||
- ❌ "Helper function" — name it
|
||||
- ❌ JSDoc on every function — only on public APIs
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌
|
||||
// Increment counter
|
||||
counter++
|
||||
```
|
||||
(No comment needed. `counter++` says it.)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌
|
||||
// Calculate the total price
|
||||
const total = items.reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
(`const total = items.reduce(...)` already says this. Delete the comment.)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅
|
||||
// Stripe rounds half-up; we mirror that to avoid reconciliation drift.
|
||||
// See: https://stripe.com/docs/currencies#rounding-rules
|
||||
function roundAmount(amount: number): number {
|
||||
return Math.round(amount * 100) / 100
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
(WHY: explains a non-obvious choice with a reference.)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅
|
||||
// We dispatch on the URL pathname, not the route name, because some
|
||||
// legacy links use the old pathname format. Once we migrate all links
|
||||
// (tracked in PLAT-1234), we can switch to route names.
|
||||
function trackPageView(url: URL) {
|
||||
const key = url.pathname
|
||||
analytics.send('page_view', { key })
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
(WHY: explains the trade-off, references the future work.)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅
|
||||
// !!! SECURITY: order must be preserved to prevent timing attacks
|
||||
// on the auth endpoint. See ADR-008.
|
||||
function compareSecrets(a: string, b: string): boolean {
|
||||
if (a.length !== b.length) return false
|
||||
let diff = 0
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < a.length; i++) diff |= a.charCodeAt(i) ^ b.charCodeAt(i)
|
||||
return diff === 0
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
(WHY: critical security note with reference.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to delete
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
// Function to fetch users from the API
|
||||
async function fetchUsers() {...}
|
||||
|
||||
// This function is called when the user clicks the button
|
||||
button.addEventListener('click', handleClick)
|
||||
|
||||
// Loop through all items
|
||||
for (const item of items) {...}
|
||||
|
||||
// Return the result
|
||||
return result
|
||||
|
||||
// Constructor
|
||||
constructor() {...}
|
||||
|
||||
// Destructor (in C++)
|
||||
~ClassName() {...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Every one of these comments says what the code already says. Delete them all.
|
||||
|
||||
### JSDoc / TSDoc
|
||||
|
||||
Write doc comments on:
|
||||
- **Public APIs** (exported functions, types)
|
||||
- **Non-obvious behavior**
|
||||
- **Functions with side effects** that aren't obvious from the name
|
||||
|
||||
Skip doc comments on:
|
||||
- Internal helpers
|
||||
- One-liner utilities
|
||||
- Code that's obviously doing what it does
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ /**
|
||||
* Sends the welcome email and returns when the SMTP server has accepted it.
|
||||
* Throws EmailDeliveryError if the message is rejected.
|
||||
*/
|
||||
async function sendWelcomeEmail(to: Address): Promise<void> {...}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Error Handling
|
||||
|
||||
### Errors are values
|
||||
|
||||
Treat errors as data, not as control flow exceptions. In TypeScript:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ type Result<T> = { ok: true; value: T } | { ok: false; error: Error }
|
||||
|
||||
// Caller is forced to handle the error
|
||||
const result = await fetchInvoice(id)
|
||||
if (!result.ok) {
|
||||
// handle error explicitly
|
||||
return showError(result.error)
|
||||
}
|
||||
const invoice = result.value
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Never swallow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ try {
|
||||
await saveUser(user)
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
// ignore
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
❌ try {
|
||||
await saveUser(user)
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
console.log(e)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't know what to do with the error, **let it propagate**. The caller might know.
|
||||
|
||||
### Specific catch
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ try {
|
||||
await parseJson(text)
|
||||
} catch (e) { ... } // catches everything, including programming errors
|
||||
|
||||
✅ try {
|
||||
await parseJson(text)
|
||||
} catch (e) {
|
||||
if (e instanceof SyntaxError) {
|
||||
return { ok: false, error: new InvalidJsonError(text, e) }
|
||||
}
|
||||
throw e // programming error — let it bubble
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Don't catch what you can't handle
|
||||
|
||||
If you can't do anything meaningful with the error, don't catch it. Let it propagate to a place that can.
|
||||
|
||||
### User-facing errors
|
||||
|
||||
Don't expose internal error messages to users:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ throw new Error('SQLSTATE[23000]: Duplicate entry for key users.email')
|
||||
|
||||
✅ throw new UserAlreadyExistsError(email)
|
||||
// In the user-facing layer:
|
||||
if (error instanceof UserAlreadyExistsError) {
|
||||
return showFormError('That email is already in use.')
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
|
||||
Validate at the boundary, trust internally:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ // At the API boundary
|
||||
function handleRequest(req: Request): Response {
|
||||
const input = validateRequestInput(req) // throws if invalid
|
||||
return processInput(input) // trusts the input
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Structure
|
||||
|
||||
### File size
|
||||
|
||||
Files should be **under 500 lines**. If larger, split by responsibility.
|
||||
|
||||
### Module boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
- One module = one responsibility
|
||||
- Exports are contracts — minimize them
|
||||
- Internal helpers stay internal (`_prefix` or in a separate file)
|
||||
- No circular dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
### Imports
|
||||
|
||||
Import order (be consistent):
|
||||
1. Standard library
|
||||
2. Third-party (frameworks, libraries)
|
||||
3. Internal (project modules)
|
||||
4. Relative (./components, ../utils)
|
||||
5. Types (`import type`)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
|
||||
import { z } from 'zod'
|
||||
|
||||
import type { User } from './types'
|
||||
|
||||
import { Button } from './components/Button'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Project structure (typical)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
src/
|
||||
├── components/ # UI components
|
||||
│ ├── Button/
|
||||
│ │ ├── Button.tsx
|
||||
│ │ ├── Button.test.tsx
|
||||
│ │ └── index.ts
|
||||
│ └── ...
|
||||
├── lib/ # utilities, hooks
|
||||
├── types/ # shared types
|
||||
├── server/ # server-only code
|
||||
└── index.ts # public exports
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dead code
|
||||
|
||||
Delete it. Don't `// eslint-disable` it. Don't comment it out. Don't `# noqa` it. Delete it.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ // const oldImplementation = ...
|
||||
// function deprecatedFoo() { ... }
|
||||
|
||||
✅ // (gone)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Type Discipline (TypeScript)
|
||||
|
||||
### Never `any`
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ function process(data: any) {...}
|
||||
|
||||
✅ function process(data: Invoice) {...}
|
||||
✅ function process(data: unknown) { // forces the caller to handle uncertainty
|
||||
if (!isInvoice(data)) throw new TypeError('Expected Invoice')
|
||||
// ... now data is Invoice
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Use `unknown` for genuine uncertainty
|
||||
|
||||
When you don't know the type, use `unknown` and narrow with type guards. `any` skips the type system; `unknown` forces you to handle it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Type narrowing
|
||||
|
||||
Write type guards that **prove** the type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ function isInvoice(value: unknown): value is Invoice {
|
||||
return (
|
||||
typeof value === 'object' &&
|
||||
value !== null &&
|
||||
'id' in value &&
|
||||
'amount' in value &&
|
||||
typeof (value as Invoice).id === 'string'
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Don't lie to the type system
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ const user = JSON.parse(json) as User // lies — JSON.parse returns any
|
||||
|
||||
✅ const user: User = userSchema.parse(JSON.parse(json)) // zod validates
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid these patterns
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ `as any` — fix the type
|
||||
- ❌ `// @ts-ignore` — fix the type
|
||||
- ❌ Non-null assertion `!` — handle the null case
|
||||
- ❌ `as unknown as X` — the type system is right, you're wrong
|
||||
- ❌ Optional chaining as a substitute for fixing types
|
||||
- ❌ Empty interfaces — `interface User {}` — what is this?
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 10. Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Test behavior, not implementation
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ test('calls fetchUser once', () => {
|
||||
const spy = jest.spyOn(api, 'fetchUser')
|
||||
component.mount()
|
||||
expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
✅ test('shows user name after loading', async () => {
|
||||
const { findByText } = render(<Profile userId="123" />)
|
||||
expect(await findByText('Jane Doe')).toBeInTheDocument()
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### AAA: Arrange, Act, Assert
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ test('calculates total with discount', () => {
|
||||
// Arrange
|
||||
const cart = [{ price: 100 }, { price: 50 }]
|
||||
|
||||
// Act
|
||||
const total = calculateTotal(cart, 0.1)
|
||||
|
||||
// Assert
|
||||
expect(total).toBe(135) // (100 + 50) * 0.9
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test names describe behavior
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
✅ test('returns empty array when no items match filter')
|
||||
✅ test('throws when email is invalid')
|
||||
✅ test('redirects to login when session expires')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
❌ test('test1')
|
||||
❌ test('works')
|
||||
❌ test('parse works') // "works" means nothing
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Test the boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
- Empty input
|
||||
- Null / undefined
|
||||
- Very large values
|
||||
- Boundary values (0, 1, max, max+1)
|
||||
- Invalid types
|
||||
- Concurrent operations (if relevant)
|
||||
|
||||
### What NOT to test
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ That a constant has a specific value
|
||||
- ❌ That a private function exists
|
||||
- ❌ That the implementation matches a specific structure
|
||||
- ❌ That `add(1, 2) === 3` (test behavior of callers instead)
|
||||
|
||||
### Test independence
|
||||
|
||||
Tests should not depend on each other. Run them in any order. Run one in isolation.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 11. Performance
|
||||
|
||||
### Measure first
|
||||
|
||||
Don't optimize without measuring. `console.time()` / `console.timeEnd()` / a real profiler.
|
||||
|
||||
### Common gotchas
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Creating functions inside render (React) — moves work to every render
|
||||
- ❌ Using indexes as keys when the list reorders — causes re-renders
|
||||
- ❌ Fetching data in a loop without batching
|
||||
- ❌ Calling `JSON.parse` on user-controlled input without validation
|
||||
- ❌ Using `indexOf` in a loop when you can use a Map
|
||||
- ❌ Sorting with the wrong algorithm for the data size
|
||||
- ❌ Calling the same async function N times when you can call it once
|
||||
|
||||
### Common wins
|
||||
|
||||
- ✅ Memoize expensive pure computations
|
||||
- ✅ Batch API calls
|
||||
- ✅ Use `Map`/`Set` for O(1) lookup
|
||||
- ✅ Virtualize long lists (don't render 10,000 rows)
|
||||
- ✅ Debounce / throttle event handlers
|
||||
- ✅ Use `requestAnimationFrame` for animations
|
||||
- ✅ Lazy-load what you don't need
|
||||
|
||||
### Don't premature-optimize
|
||||
|
||||
"Make it work, make it right, make it fast — in that order."

|

|
||||
## 12. Language-Specific Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### TypeScript / JavaScript
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `const` by default. `let` only when reassignment is needed. Never `var`.
|
||||
- Use arrow functions for inline, named functions for declarations.
|
||||
- Prefer `===` over `==`.
|
||||
- Use template literals over concatenation.
|
||||
- Use destructuring for object/array access.
|
||||
- Use optional chaining and nullish coalescing (`??`) appropriately.
|
||||
- Don't use `for...in` for arrays.
|
||||
- Don't use `arguments` — use rest parameters.
|
||||
- Use `Map`/`Set` over plain objects/arrays when you need key-based lookup.
|
||||
- Use `URL` and `URLSearchParams` for URL parsing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Python
|
||||
|
||||
- Use type hints (`def parse_invoice(raw: str) -> Invoice: ...`)
|
||||
- Use f-strings, not `%` or `.format()`
|
||||
- Use `pathlib`, not `os.path`
|
||||
- Use dataclasses for value objects
|
||||
- Use `with` for resource management
|
||||
- Don't use mutable default arguments
|
||||
- Don't use `global` (almost never)
|
||||
- List comprehensions are good. Nested ones are not.
|
||||
|
||||
### Go
|
||||
|
||||
- Errors are values: `if err != nil { return err }`
|
||||
- Don't use `panic` for normal flow
|
||||
- Don't use `_` to discard errors (except in defer)
|
||||
- Use `context.Context` for cancellation
|
||||
- Use `gofmt` (no debate)
|
||||
- Use meaningful package names (singular, descriptive)
|
||||
|
||||
### React (specific)
|
||||
|
||||
- Components are functions, named exports, PascalCase
|
||||
- One component per file (mostly — small sub-components can co-locate)
|
||||
- Props are typed with `type`, not `interface`
|
||||
- Don't `useEffect` for derived state — compute it during render
|
||||
- Don't fetch in `useEffect` without a state machine
|
||||
- Memoize when measured, not by default
|
||||

## 13. Code Review Checklist (Before Submitting)
|
||||
|
||||
For every PR / every function:
|
||||
|
||||
### Names
|
||||
- [ ] Names are specific (not `data`, `result`, `item`)
|
||||
- [ ] Functions are verb phrases
|
||||
- [ ] Classes are nouns that mean something
|
||||
- [ ] No boolean flags that change behavior
|
||||
- [ ] No magic numbers — they have names
|
||||
|
||||
### Functions
|
||||
- [ ] Each function does one thing
|
||||
- [ ] Each function is < 50 lines
|
||||
- [ ] Each function takes < 4 parameters (or 1 options object)
|
||||
- [ ] No nested conditionals > 3 levels deep
|
||||
- [ ] Early returns for the negative cases
|
||||
- [ ] Pure functions preferred, side effects isolated
|
||||
|
||||
### Comments
|
||||
- [ ] Comments explain WHY, not WHAT
|
||||
- [ ] No "this function does X" comments
|
||||
- [ ] No "step 1, step 2, step 3" comments
|
||||
- [ ] TODOs have context (issue link, expected fix)
|
||||
|
||||
### Errors
|
||||
- [ ] Errors are handled, not swallowed
|
||||
- [ ] Specific catch types, not generic
|
||||
- [ ] User-facing errors are friendly, internal errors are detailed
|
||||
- [ ] Validation at boundaries
|
||||
|
||||
### Types
|
||||
- [ ] No `any` (use `unknown` and narrow)
|
||||
- [ ] No `as any`, no `@ts-ignore` without justification
|
||||
- [ ] Types match reality (no false `as`)
|
||||
|
||||
### Tests
|
||||
- [ ] Tests cover behavior, not implementation
|
||||
- [ ] Test names describe what should happen
|
||||
- [ ] Edge cases tested (empty, null, boundary)
|
||||
- [ ] Tests independent of each other
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
- [ ] Files < 500 lines
|
||||
- [ ] One responsibility per file
|
||||
- [ ] Imports organized (stdlib, third-party, internal)
|
||||
- [ ] No dead code, no commented-out code
|
||||
|
||||
### Style
|
||||
- [ ] Consistent with the rest of the codebase
|
||||
- [ ] Linted and formatted
|
||||
- [ ] No AI-slop patterns from §3
|

## 14. The Mantra
|
||||
|
||||
> **Code is read more than it's written. Write for the reader, not the writer.**
|
||||
|
||||
The next person to read your code is you, six months from now, at 2 AM, debugging a production issue. Be kind to them. Be kind to yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
> **The best code is the code you deleted.**
|
||||
|
||||
Every line you didn't write is a line that can't have a bug, can't be misunderstood, can't go stale.
|
||||
|
||||
> **If the code is good, you won't notice the code. If it's bad, you notice immediately.**
|
||||
|
||||
Your job is the first. Slop is the second.

# Color — Tokens, Palettes, Restraint
|
||||
|
||||
> Color is punctuation, not wallpaper. One accent, many neutrals, used surgically.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Token System
|
||||
|
||||
Every project defines these tokens. No raw hex in components.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
/* Surface (background) */
|
||||
--surface: ...; /* primary background */
|
||||
--surface-elevated: ...; /* cards, modals — slightly different */
|
||||
--surface-sunken: ...; /* inputs, code blocks — slightly darker/lighter */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Ink (text) */
|
||||
--ink: ...; /* primary text */
|
||||
--ink-muted: ...; /* secondary text */
|
||||
--ink-subtle: ...; /* tertiary, placeholders */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Lines */
|
||||
--hairline: ...; /* borders, dividers, rules */
|
||||
--hairline-strong: ...; /* emphasized borders */
|
||||
|
||||
/* Accent */
|
||||
--accent: ...; /* the brand color */
|
||||
--accent-ink: ...; /* text on accent surfaces */
|
||||
--accent-soft: ...; /* tinted backgrounds for accent states */
|
||||
|
||||
/* State */
|
||||
--success: ...;
|
||||
--warning: ...;
|
||||
--error: ...;
|
||||
--info: ...;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Neutral Palette Library
|
||||
|
||||
Pick ONE neutral system. Then add an accent.

|
||||
|
||||
## Accent Library
|
||||
|
||||
Pick ONE. Use it on 5–10% of pixels max. If you find yourself using it everywhere, it's not an accent — it's a brand color that needs a different neutral system.
|
||||
|
||||
### Refined Minimal accents
|
||||
- **Linear-style purple:** `#5E6AD2` (with `#0A0A0A` ink)
|
||||
- **Stripe indigo:** `#635BFF`
|
||||
- **Mercury green:** `#1B4332`
|
||||
- **Cron red-orange:** `#E0533D`
|
||||
- **Vercel on white:** no accent — pure black ink IS the accent
|
||||
|
||||
### Editorial accents
|
||||
- **Editorial red:** `#C8281C` or `#A91D1D`
|
||||
- **Newspaper yellow:** `#E6B800` (used as mark, not fill)
|
||||
- **Ink blue:** `#1B3A5C`
|
||||
|
||||
### Swiss accents
|
||||
- **Müller-Brockmann red:** `#E63946` or `#D62828`
|
||||
- **Electric blue:** `#0066FF`
|
||||
- **Often no accent.** Pure monochrome.
|
||||
|
||||
### Brutalist accents
|
||||
- **Hot pink:** `#FF3EA5`
|
||||
- **Hazard yellow:** `#FFE600`
|
||||
- **Toxic green:** `#39FF14`
|
||||
- **Often used in block shapes**, not fine details
|
||||
|
||||
### Soft / Warm accents
|
||||
- **Terracotta:** `#C65D3A`
|
||||
- **Sage:** `#7A8471`
|
||||
- **Dusty blue:** `#5C7A8A`
|
||||
- **Mustard:** `#C99632`
|
||||
- **Plum:** `#6B3D5C`
|
||||
|
||||
### Technical accents
|
||||
- **Terminal green:** `#00FF66` or `#00CC66` (softer)
|
||||
- **Amber:** `#FFB000`
|
||||
- **Cyan:** `#00C2FF`
|
||||
- **Hot pink (Vercel-style):** `#FF0080`
|
||||
|
||||
### Playful accents
|
||||
- **Multi-hue palette** — pick 3–4 working together:
|
||||
- Coral `#FF6B6B` + Mustard `#FFC857` + Teal `#3DCCC7` + Plum `#5B5F97`
|
||||
- Or simpler 2-color: Lime `#C5E063` + Deep Navy `#1A1A40`
|
||||

|
||||
## How to Use the Accent
|
||||
|
||||
### The 5–10% rule
|
||||
If the accent fills more than 10% of the page, it's no longer an accent. It's a brand background. Pick a different neutral system or reduce accent usage.
|
||||
|
||||
### Where accents go
|
||||
- ✅ Primary CTA button (one per page)
|
||||
- ✅ Active nav item, current page marker
|
||||
- ✅ Links (or use ink color with underline)
|
||||
- ✅ Focus rings
|
||||
- ✅ Key data point in a statistic block
|
||||
- ✅ A small mark (a dot, a bar, a single character)
|
||||
- ✅ Selected state in a list
|
||||
- ✅ Logo
|
||||
|
||||
### Where accents DON'T go
|
||||
- ❌ Hero background
|
||||
- ❌ Section backgrounds (full-bleed tints)
|
||||
- ❌ Every card border
|
||||
- ❌ Every icon
|
||||
- ❌ Multiple CTA buttons on the same page (pick the one that matters)
|
||||
- ❌ Body text (links are the exception)
|
||||
- ❌ Drop shadows (use ink, not accent)
|
||||
- ❌ Every heading
|

## Contrast (WCAG)
|
||||
|
||||
| Use | Min ratio | Aim for |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Body text | 4.5:1 (AA) | 7:1 (AAA) |
|
||||
| Large text (18px+ or 14px bold+) | 3:1 (AA) | 4.5:1+ |
|
||||
| UI components, icons | 3:1 | 4.5:1+ |
|
||||
| Non-essential decorative | none | — |
|
||||
| Focus rings | 3:1 vs adjacent | visible |
|
||||
|
||||
**Tools:** Stark (Figma plugin), WebAIM Contrast Checker, Polypane.
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule of thumb:**
|
||||
- Pure black `#000` on pure white `#FFF` = 21:1
|
||||
- `#0A0A0A` on `#FFFFFF` = 19.4:1
|
||||
- `#6B6B6B` on `#FFFFFF` = 5.7:1 (acceptable for secondary text)
|
||||
- `#A3A3A3` on `#FFFFFF` = 2.8:1 (only for placeholders, never for real text)
|
||||
- `#5E6AD2` on `#FFFFFF` = 5.1:1 (acceptable as text or UI)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Dark Mode
|
||||
|
||||
Dark mode is not "invert the colors." Build it intentionally.
|
||||
|
||||
### Principles
|
||||
- **Don't use pure black `#000`** for surfaces. It creates harsh contrast against text. Use `#0E0E0E` or `#121212` — there's a reason Material Design picked these.
|
||||
- **Don't use pure white `#FFF`** for text. Soften to `#F5F5F5` or `#EDEDED`.
|
||||
- **Reduce contrast slightly** — text doesn't need to be 21:1 on dark. Aim for 12:1+ (more comfortable).
|
||||
- **Accents usually brighten in dark mode.** A `#5E6AD2` purple becomes `#7B85E6` or `#8B95FF`.
|
||||
- **Shadows become subtle borders or glows.** Dark UIs rarely use shadows; they use hairlines and elevation via lighter surfaces.
|
||||
|
||||
### Token approach
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
/* Light */
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF;
|
||||
--ink: #0A0A0A;
|
||||
/* ... */
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
[data-theme="dark"] {
|
||||
--surface: #0E0E0E;
|
||||
--ink: #F5F5F5;
|
||||
/* Don't redefine everything — only invert what needs inverting */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Dark mode anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Pure black `#000` background (harsh, increases eye strain)
|
||||
- ❌ Pure white `#FFF` text (vibrates against dark backgrounds)
|
||||
- ❌ Same accent as light mode (often too dark to read)
|
||||
- ❌ Drop shadows that were already wrong in light mode (now invisible)
|
||||
- ❌ Inverting images with CSS `filter: invert()` (breaks photos)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Gradients
|
||||
|
||||
**Default:** don't use them.
|
||||
|
||||
### When gradients ARE appropriate
|
||||
- Hero text on dark backgrounds (subtle, low-contrast, mostly for atmosphere)
|
||||
- Loading states / skeleton screens
|
||||
- Data visualization (color scales)
|
||||
- Photo overlays (dark gradient over image for legibility)
|
||||
|
||||
### When gradients are NOT appropriate
|
||||
- ❌ Hero backgrounds (the #1 AI slop signal)
|
||||
- ❌ CTA buttons
|
||||
- ❌ Section dividers
|
||||
- ❌ "Mesh gradient" backgrounds
|
||||
- ❌ Animated gradient backgrounds
|
||||
- ❌ Purple → pink → orange "sunset" effects
|
||||
- ❌ Multi-stop gradients on text
|
||||
|
||||
### If you must use one
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* Subtle, dark, for atmosphere only */
|
||||
background: linear-gradient(
|
||||
to bottom,
|
||||
rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0%,
|
||||
rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 100%
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
/* Image overlay */
|
||||
background: linear-gradient(
|
||||
180deg,
|
||||
rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0%,
|
||||
rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8) 100%
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Avoid: `linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)` and all its cousins.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Color Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `#667eea → #764ba2` purple gradient hero | White background, ink-black headline |
|
||||
| Multiple accent colors competing | One accent, used 5–10% |
|
||||
| `#999` gray for body text | Use a tested muted ink (`#6B6B6B`+) |
|
||||
| Random hex everywhere (`#3B82F6` next to `#1D4ED8`) | Token system, semantic names |
|
||||
| Color-coded everything (red/yellow/green for non-state things) | Restraint. State colors for state only. |
|
||||
| Hard-coded brand colors in components | Use `--accent` token |
|
||||
| Inverting colors for dark mode | Re-tune the palette, don't invert |
|
||||
| Tint backgrounds behind every paragraph | White space, not tinted space |
|
||||
| Box-shadows in accent color | Ink-colored shadows, or no shadows |
|
||||
| Stock-photo color overlays | Let photos speak, use overlays only for legibility |
|
||||
| 4 brand colors in the logo, used equally | One brand color + a system of neutrals |

# Components — Build Them Once, Use Them Everywhere
|
||||
|
||||
> Every interactive element on the page must have: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled. Skip one and the design breaks on the edges.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Buttons
|
||||
|
||||
### Anatomy
|
||||
A button is a **promise to the user**: click me, this happens. It must look pressable. It must have a clear label.
|
||||
|
||||
### Variants (use 2–3 max)
|
||||
|
||||
**Primary**
|
||||
- Background: `--ink` (or `--accent`)
|
||||
- Text: `--surface`
|
||||
- One per page, max. The thing the user should do.
|
||||
|
||||
**Secondary**
|
||||
- Background: transparent
|
||||
- Border: `1px solid var(--hairline-strong)` (or `--ink` for emphasis)
|
||||
- Text: `--ink`
|
||||
- The second thing the user could do.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tertiary / Ghost**
|
||||
- Background: transparent
|
||||
- Text: `--ink`
|
||||
- Optional underline or arrow
|
||||
- The third thing. Or a low-priority action.
|
||||
|
||||
**Destructive**
|
||||
- Background: `--error`
|
||||
- Text: `--surface`
|
||||
- Use for irreversible actions. Always confirm before executing.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sizes
|
||||
|
||||
| Token | Height | Padding | Font size |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `sm` | 32px | 0 12px | 14px |
|
||||
| `md` (default) | 40px | 0 16px | 14–15px |
|
||||
| `lg` | 48px | 0 20px | 16px |
|
||||
| `xl` | 56px | 0 24px | 17–18px |
|
||||
|
||||
### States
|
||||
|
||||
| State | Treatment |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Default | As designed |
|
||||
| Hover | Slight darken of background, or border strengthens. Use `transition: background-color 120ms ease, border-color 120ms ease;` |
|
||||
| Focus-visible | 2px ring, accent color, 2px offset |
|
||||
| Active | Slight darken or scale(0.98). 80ms transition. |
|
||||
| Disabled | Reduced opacity (0.5), no hover effects, `cursor: not-allowed` |
|
||||
| Loading | Replace label with spinner, OR keep label and add small spinner before |
|
||||
|
||||
### Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use 5 button variants. Pick 2–3, max.
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make buttons pills (`border-radius: 9999px`) by default. 6–8px is safer.
|
||||
- ❌ Don't put icons inside button labels without text (icon-only buttons need `aria-label`).
|
||||
- ❌ Don't stack a primary next to another primary. Primary is singular.
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make buttons too small to tap. Minimum 40px tall, 44px on mobile.
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use more than 2 buttons in a single CTA group.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sample HTML + CSS
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<button class="btn btn--primary">Get started</button>
|
||||
<button class="btn btn--secondary">Read docs</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.btn {
|
||||
display: inline-flex;
|
||||
align-items: center;
|
||||
justify-content: center;
|
||||
gap: 8px;
|
||||
height: 40px;
|
||||
padding: 0 16px;
|
||||
border-radius: 8px;
|
||||
font-size: 14px;
|
||||
font-weight: 500;
|
||||
line-height: 1;
|
||||
cursor: pointer;
|
||||
transition: background-color 120ms ease, border-color 120ms ease, color 120ms ease;
|
||||
border: 1px solid transparent;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.btn:focus-visible {
|
||||
outline: 2px solid var(--accent);
|
||||
outline-offset: 2px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.btn--primary {
|
||||
background: var(--ink);
|
||||
color: var(--surface);
|
||||
}
|
||||
.btn--primary:hover { background: #1F1F1F; }
|
||||
|
||||
.btn--secondary {
|
||||
background: transparent;
|
||||
border-color: var(--hairline-strong);
|
||||
color: var(--ink);
|
||||
}
|
||||
.btn--secondary:hover { border-color: var(--ink); }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Forms
|
||||
|
||||
### Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
- **Height:** 40px default. 36px for compact.
|
||||
- **Background:** `--surface-elevated` or `--surface-sunken` (slight contrast from page)
|
||||
- **Border:** `1px solid var(--hairline-strong)`
|
||||
- **Border-radius:** matches buttons (6–8px)
|
||||
- **Padding:** `0 12px`
|
||||
- **Font:** same as body, 14–16px
|
||||
- **Placeholder:** `--ink-subtle`, NOT `--ink-muted` — distinguish placeholders from real values
|
||||
- **Label:** Above the input, 13–14px, `--ink-muted`, margin-bottom 6px
|
||||
|
||||
### States
|
||||
|
||||
| State | Border |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Default | `--hairline-strong` |
|
||||
| Hover | `--ink` |
|
||||
| Focus | `--accent`, 2px |
|
||||
| Error | `--error` |
|
||||
| Disabled | `--hairline`, opacity 0.6, `cursor: not-allowed` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Inputs anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Placeholder used as label (loses on focus)
|
||||
- ❌ Label inside input (accessibility disaster)
|
||||
- ❌ No label at all (placeholder isn't a label)
|
||||
- ❌ Border that disappears on focus with no replacement
|
||||
- ❌ Default browser styling (especially checkboxes, radios, selects)
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom checkboxes / radios
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
input[type="checkbox"] {
|
||||
appearance: none;
|
||||
width: 16px;
|
||||
height: 16px;
|
||||
border: 1.5px solid var(--hairline-strong);
|
||||
border-radius: 4px;
|
||||
background: var(--surface);
|
||||
cursor: pointer;
|
||||
position: relative;
|
||||
}
|
||||
input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
|
||||
background: var(--accent);
|
||||
border-color: var(--accent);
|
||||
}
|
||||
input[type="checkbox"]:checked::after {
|
||||
content: '';
|
||||
position: absolute;
|
||||
left: 4px;
|
||||
top: 1px;
|
||||
width: 5px;
|
||||
height: 9px;
|
||||
border: solid var(--surface);
|
||||
border-width: 0 2px 2px 0;
|
||||
transform: rotate(45deg);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Select dropdowns
|
||||
|
||||
Native `<select>` is ugly but accessible. Three options:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Style the native element** as much as possible — works in most cases
|
||||
2. **Custom dropdown** with full keyboard accessibility (much more code)
|
||||
3. **Use a library** (Radix, Headless UI, React Aria) for safety
|
||||
|
||||
Whichever path: keep the visible trigger simple — same height and border as inputs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Form layout
|
||||
|
||||
- Labels above inputs (most common, fastest to scan)
|
||||
- One column by default. Two-column only when columns are independent (e.g., First Name / Last Name).
|
||||
- Help text below the input, smaller and muted.
|
||||
- Error messages: red, specific, actionable ("Enter a valid email" not "Invalid input").
|
||||
- Required field marker: `*` or "(required)" — pick one, be consistent.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cards
|
||||
|
||||
A card groups related content. Use sparingly. The more cards on a page, the less each one matters.
|
||||
|
||||
### Anatomy
|
||||
- Surface: `--surface-elevated` (or same as page if minimal)
|
||||
- Border: `1px solid var(--hairline)` — preferred over shadow
|
||||
- Radius: 8–12px (or 0 in Swiss style)
|
||||
- Padding: 24px (compact) to 32px (generous)
|
||||
- Optional: header, body, footer zones, separated by hairline or padding
|
||||
|
||||
### Variants
|
||||
|
||||
**Flat card** — hairline border, no shadow. Default for content cards.
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.card {
|
||||
background: var(--surface);
|
||||
border: 1px solid var(--hairline);
|
||||
border-radius: 12px;
|
||||
padding: 24px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Elevated card** — subtle shadow, used for floating elements (popovers, modals). Rare for content cards.
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.card-elevated {
|
||||
background: var(--surface-elevated);
|
||||
border-radius: 12px;
|
||||
padding: 24px;
|
||||
box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.04), 0 8px 24px rgba(0,0,0,0.06);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Interactive card** — entire card is clickable. Cursor pointer, hover lifts the border color or background.
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.card-interactive {
|
||||
background: var(--surface);
|
||||
border: 1px solid var(--hairline);
|
||||
border-radius: 12px;
|
||||
padding: 24px;
|
||||
cursor: pointer;
|
||||
transition: border-color 150ms ease, background 150ms ease;
|
||||
}
|
||||
.card-interactive:hover {
|
||||
border-color: var(--ink);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Card content rules
|
||||
- ❌ Don't put a card inside a card
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make every card the same size if content varies wildly
|
||||
- ❌ Don't add a small "category" tag to every card automatically
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use cards as layout placeholders for non-card content (use proper sections)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Navigation
|
||||
|
||||
### Top nav
|
||||
|
||||
- **Height:** 56–72px
|
||||
- **Background:** same as surface (or slight elevation if scroll-aware)
|
||||
- **Logo:** left, 24–32px tall
|
||||
- **Links:** center or right, 14–15px, medium weight
|
||||
- **CTA:** right side, distinct button
|
||||
- **Sticky:** optional, but if sticky, add backdrop or shadow on scroll
|
||||
|
||||
**Mobile:** Hamburger menu OR a horizontal scroll of categories. Don't hide navigation behind gestures users don't know.
|
||||
|
||||
### Side nav (for apps, dashboards)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Width:** 240–280px (collapsible to 56–64px)
|
||||
- **Sections:** grouped by purpose, with section labels
|
||||
- **Active state:** clear visual — background tint or accent border on left edge
|
||||
- **Icons:** 16–20px, single weight stroke, paired with labels
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make icon-only navigation without tooltips
|
||||
|
||||
### Breadcrumbs
|
||||
|
||||
- Small, muted, 13–14px
|
||||
- Separator: `/` or `›`, in `--ink-subtle`
|
||||
- Last item: `--ink`, no link
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make breadcrumbs interactive if the parent pages don't exist
|
||||
|
||||
### Footer
|
||||
|
||||
- **Layout:** can be 4-column (product / company / resources / legal) OR a single editorial line OR a technical mono footer with metadata
|
||||
- **Tone:** smaller type (13–14px), muted
|
||||
- **Content:** links + small print + small brand mark + maybe a single line of brand voice
|
||||
- ❌ Don't fill it with content just to fill it
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use the footer as a primary navigation surface
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Tables
|
||||
|
||||
Tables are for data. If it's not data, don't use a table.
|
||||
|
||||
### Style
|
||||
- **Header row:** slightly different background, `--ink-muted`, smaller text (12–13px), often uppercase with tracking
|
||||
- **Cells:** 12–16px vertical padding
|
||||
- **Borders:** bottom-only hairlines between rows, not full grid
|
||||
- **Numbers:** monospace font, tabular figures, right-aligned
|
||||
- **Hover row:** subtle background (`--surface-sunken`) for readability in long tables
|
||||
- **Actions:** last column, icon buttons or text links
|
||||
|
||||
### Table anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Full grid of borders (looks like Excel)
|
||||
- ❌ Centered text in data cells (left-align text, right-align numbers)
|
||||
- ❌ Wrapping headers (use shorter labels)
|
||||
- ❌ Inconsistent row heights (vary them carefully)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Badges & Tags
|
||||
|
||||
### Badges
|
||||
Small inline labels. Two types:
|
||||
- **Status badges:** rounded pill (4–6px radius), small (10–12px text), color-coded for state
|
||||
- **Categorical badges:** rectangular or pill, neutral background, used for taxonomy
|
||||
|
||||
### Rules
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use too many colors — limit to 2–3 states plus neutral
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make badges too large (they're punctuation, not headlines)
|
||||
- ❌ Don't make every list item have a badge — most shouldn't
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.badge {
|
||||
display: inline-flex;
|
||||
align-items: center;
|
||||
height: 20px;
|
||||
padding: 0 8px;
|
||||
border-radius: 4px;
|
||||
font-size: 12px;
|
||||
font-weight: 500;
|
||||
background: var(--surface-sunken);
|
||||
color: var(--ink-muted);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.badge--success { background: #DCFCE7; color: #14532D; }

.badge--warning { background: #FEF3C7; color: #78350F; }

```

|
||||
|
||||
## Avatars
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sizes:** 24px (inline), 32px (list), 40px (comment), 64px (profile), 96px (hero)
|
||||
- **Shape:** circle by default; rounded square OK in some contexts
|
||||
- **Fallback:** initials on a muted background, in mono or display type
|
||||
- **Image:** always set `alt` (use empty `alt=""` for decorative)
|
||||
- **Border:** optional 1px hairline if on a similar-colored background
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Empty / Loading / Error States
|
||||
|
||||
These are where amateurs stop and pros begin. **Always design them.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Empty state
|
||||
- Centered or left-aligned
|
||||
- Single sentence explaining why it's empty
|
||||
- One action to fix it ("Create your first project")
|
||||
- Optional small illustration or icon — restrained
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading state
|
||||
- Skeleton: same layout as loaded content, animated shimmer or pulse
|
||||
- Spinner: only for short waits (<2s), centered
|
||||
- Progress: for long operations, with meaningful stages
|
||||
- ❌ Don't show a spinner for under 200ms — it flashes and feels broken
|
||||
|
||||
### Error state
|
||||
- What happened, in plain language
|
||||
- What the user can do
|
||||
- A way to retry or contact support
|
||||
- ❌ Don't show raw error messages (`"TypeError: undefined is not a function"`)
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use a sad emoji or stock illustration of someone frustrated
|
||||
|
||||
### 404 page
|
||||
- A real, designed page — not the default server one
|
||||
- One clear explanation ("This page doesn't exist.")
|
||||
- A way back (link to home, search bar, navigation)
|
||||
- An opportunity for voice: a small editorial moment, a real photo, a piece of brand personality
|
||||
- ❌ Don't use a 404 page as a place to be clever at the expense of utility
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Tooltips & Popovers
|
||||
|
||||
- Appear on hover (desktop) or tap (mobile)
|
||||
- Disappear on escape, on click outside, on scroll
|
||||
- Maximum 2 lines of text
|
||||
- Background: `--ink` with white text OR `--surface-elevated` with a stronger shadow
|
||||
- Animation: fade-in 100ms, no movement
|
||||
- Always include an arrow pointing to the trigger (unless context makes it obvious)
|
||||
- ❌ Don't put interactive content inside a tooltip (use a popover for that)
|
||||
- ❌ Don't show tooltips on touch devices (they don't have hover)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Modal / Dialog
|
||||
|
||||
- Centered, max-width 480–560px for forms, larger for content
|
||||
- Backdrop: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4–0.6)` — enough to focus, not so much it blacks out
|
||||
- Surface: `--surface-elevated`
|
||||
- Border-radius: 12px (or match cards)
|
||||
- Padding: 24–32px
|
||||
- Close: visible X button (top-right) AND `Escape` key
|
||||
- Focus trap: keyboard focus stays inside the modal
|
||||
- Scroll: inside the modal if content overflows
|
||||
- Animation: fade + slight scale (0.98 → 1), 150ms
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

# Content — Specific, Real, Useful
|
||||
|
||||
> The design is the container. The content is the reason. If the words are slop, the design can't save them.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Cardinal Rule
|
||||
|
||||
**Write content the way you'd talk to a smart friend who asked "what is this?" — not the way a marketing department writes.**
|
||||
|
||||
Before writing any copy, ask:
|
||||
- What does this product DO? (specific verb, specific object)
|
||||
- Who is it FOR? (specific person, not "users" or "businesses")
|
||||
- WHY should they care? (specific outcome, not "saving time")
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Headlines
|
||||
|
||||
The headline is the page. It's the one piece of copy users actually read.
|
||||
|
||||
### The four patterns that work
|
||||
|
||||
**1. The claim**
|
||||
Make a specific promise.
|
||||
- "Ship features 3x faster"
|
||||
- "Cut your AWS bill in half"
|
||||
- "Find any bug in under 60 seconds"
|
||||
- "The invoicing app for people who hate invoicing"
|
||||
|
||||
**2. The user**
|
||||
Name the specific person.
|
||||
- "For designers who'd rather think than fiddle."
|
||||
- "The trading platform built for serious retail traders."
|
||||
- "Email for people who send 200 emails a day."
|
||||
|
||||
**3. The contrast**
|
||||
Position against the alternative.
|
||||
- "Stop writing CSS. Start describing what you want."
|
||||
- "The CRM that doesn't feel like a spreadsheet."
|
||||
- "A wiki that's actually fun to write in."
|
||||
|
||||
**4. The specific weirdness**
|
||||
Say something only this product could say.
|
||||
- "Less software, more wood."
|
||||
- "Open tabs: 47. Active tabs: 3. (We close the rest.)"
|
||||
- "Postgres, but it's 2026."
|
||||
|
||||
### Headlines anti-patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| "Welcome to [Brand]" | Specific claim or user statement |
|
||||
| "The platform for [audience]" | "For [specific person] who [specific need]" |
|
||||
| "Empowering businesses to thrive" | "Cut your [specific thing] by [specific number]" |
|
||||
| "Built for the modern [audience]" | "Built for [specific audience] doing [specific thing]" |
|
||||
| "Revolutionizing the [industry]" | Specific outcome, named |
|
||||
| "Fast. Simple. Beautiful." | One true adjective, or a sentence |
|
||||
| "The future of [thing] is here" | Anything else |
|
||||
|
||||
### Headlines checklist
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Does it make a claim?
|
||||
- [ ] Is the claim specific?
|
||||
- [ ] Could a competitor use the same headline? (If yes, rewrite.)
|
||||
- [ ] Is it under 12 words? (Ideal: 6–10 words. Hard cap: 15.)
|
||||
- [ ] Does it work without the surrounding context? (If someone screenshots just the headline, does it still communicate?)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Subheads
|
||||
|
||||
The subhead explains the headline or adds context. Two jobs:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Extend the headline** — add the "how" or "why" or "for whom"
|
||||
2. **Earn the click** — give enough detail that the reader knows what's next
|
||||
|
||||
### Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Headline: "Ship features 3x faster"
|
||||
Subhead: "Linear's AI agents handle issue triage, status updates, and standup notes — so your team ships instead of plans."
|
||||
|
||||
Headline: "The invoicing app for people who hate invoicing"
|
||||
Subhead: "Made for designers, writers, and freelancers who'd rather be making things than chasing payments."
|
||||
|
||||
Headline: "Stop writing CSS. Start describing what you want."
|
||||
Subhead: "Tempo turns Figma designs into production-ready components — no round-trip, no translation loss."
|
||||
|
||||
### Subheads anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Restating the headline in different words
|
||||
- ❌ Generic context: "We help businesses..."
|
||||
- ❌ Two sentences that could be one
|
||||
- ❌ A second claim that contradicts or competes with the headline
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Body Copy
|
||||
|
||||
### Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Specific > general.** "We saved 12 hours a week" beats "We saved time."
|
||||
2. **Short sentences.** Mix short and long. Never three long sentences in a row.
|
||||
3. **One idea per paragraph.** If a paragraph has two ideas, split it.
|
||||
4. **Left-aligned, ragged right.** Never justified. Never centered (except short quotes).
|
||||
5. **Active voice.** "We shipped X" beats "X was shipped."
|
||||
6. **Cut every word that doesn't earn its place.** Read aloud. If you stumble, rewrite.
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure
|
||||
|
||||
For landing pages:
|
||||
- Lead with the most important sentence
|
||||
- One idea per paragraph
|
||||
- Short paragraphs (2–4 sentences)
|
||||
- Use lists / structured content where appropriate
|
||||
|
||||
For long-form (articles, docs):
|
||||
- Strong first sentence — not a throat-clearing intro
|
||||
- Subheadings every 200–400 words
|
||||
- Pull quotes for emphasis
|
||||
- Images / diagrams to break up text
|
||||
|
||||
### Body copy anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Lorem ipsum left in production
|
||||
- ❌ Throat-clearing intros: "In today's fast-paced world..."
|
||||
- ❌ Three adjectives in a row: "fast, simple, beautiful"
|
||||
- ❌ Buzzwords: "leverage," "synergy," "ecosystem," "paradigm," "disrupt"
|
||||
- ❌ Empty intensifiers: "very," "really," "extremely," "incredibly"
|
||||
- ❌ Vague pronouns: "this," "it," "that" without clear referent
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Calls to Action (CTAs)
|
||||
|
||||
### The label is the promise
|
||||
|
||||
❌ "Submit" → ✅ "Get my report"
|
||||
❌ "Learn more" → ✅ "See how it works"
|
||||
❌ "Click here" → ✅ (literally never)
|
||||
❌ "Sign up" → ✅ "Start free" / "Create my account"
|
||||
❌ "Buy now" → ✅ "Get [Product] for $X"
|
||||
|
||||
### CTA principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **First person, present tense.** "Start my free trial" > "Start your free trial."
|
||||
2. **Specific outcome.** "Get the template" > "Download."
|
||||
3. **Verb, not noun.** "Compare plans" > "Comparison."
|
||||
4. **What happens next.** If the button leads to a checkout, say so. If it opens a modal, the label can be more casual.
|
||||
|
||||
### CTA anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ "Submit" (the default for forms — never use it without context)
|
||||
- ❌ "Click here" (accessibility and clarity failure)
|
||||
- ❌ "Yes" / "No" (always describe what yes/no means)
|
||||
- ❌ "Continue" (continue to what?)
|
||||
- ❌ Three different CTAs in a row competing for attention
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Microcopy
|
||||
|
||||
The small text that makes interfaces feel human.
|
||||
|
||||
### Buttons (secondary actions)
|
||||
- "Cancel" — clear
|
||||
- "Maybe later" — softer
|
||||
- "Not now" — most polite
|
||||
- ❌ "No thanks" (passive-aggressive)
|
||||
|
||||
### Empty states
|
||||
- ❌ "No data" ✅ "No projects yet. Create your first one to get started."
|
||||
- ❌ "Nothing here" ✅ "Once you add a task, it'll show up here."
|
||||
|
||||
### Error messages
|
||||
- ❌ "An error occurred" ✅ "We couldn't save your changes. Check your connection and try again."
|
||||
- ❌ "Invalid input" ✅ "Enter a valid email address (you used an extra @)."
|
||||
|
||||
### Success messages
|
||||
- ❌ "Success" ✅ "Saved. Your changes are live."
|
||||
- ❌ "Done" ✅ "Sent. We'll let you know when [Recipient] responds."
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading states
|
||||
- ❌ "Loading..." ✅ "Loading your projects..."
|
||||
- ❌ "Please wait" ✅ "Hang tight — this usually takes a few seconds."
|
||||
|
||||
### Tooltips
|
||||
- Be brief. One sentence max.
|
||||
- Explain the WHY, not just the WHAT.
|
||||
- ❌ "Bold" ✅ "Bold (⌘B)"
|
||||
|
||||
### Placeholders
|
||||
- ❌ Used as labels
|
||||
- ✅ Used as examples: "e.g. acme.com" or "Search projects..."
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Tone of Voice
|
||||
|
||||
Pick a tone and hold it. Voice should be consistent across the page.
|
||||
|
||||
### Voices that work for tech/SaaS
|
||||
- **Linear / Vercel style:** Calm, confident, precise. Lowercase headlines. Direct verbs.
|
||||
- **Stripe style:** Clear, specific, evidence-led. They show numbers and case studies.
|
||||
- **Arc style:** Warm, confident, slightly playful. Premium without being formal.
|
||||
|
||||
### Voices that work for editorial/creative
|
||||
- **Magazine style:** Considered, varied sentence rhythm, occasional editorial voice.
|
||||
- **Studio style:** Insider language, occasional opinions, knows the audience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Voices that work for indie / small biz
|
||||
- **Warm, plain, human.** Talk like a person, not a brand.
|
||||
- First-person, plural: "We make X for people who Y."
|
||||
- Acknowledge the reader's reality.
|
||||
|
||||
### Tone anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Switching tone mid-page (formal headline, casual button)
|
||||
- ❌ Corporate throat-clearing: "At [Company], we believe..."
|
||||
- ❌ Forced friendliness: "Hey there! 👋 Ready to get started? Let's go!"
|
||||
- ❌ Trying too hard to be cool: "This ain't yo mama's CRM"
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Real Names, Real Numbers
|
||||
|
||||
The single biggest content upgrade: replace generic with specific.
|
||||
|
||||
### Names
|
||||
- ❌ "John D., CEO of Acme Corp"
|
||||
- ✅ "Jane Park, Head of Design at Linear"
|
||||
- ❌ "A major financial institution"
|
||||
- ✅ "Stripe moved $X through our platform in 2025"
|
||||
|
||||
### Numbers
|
||||
- ❌ "Faster" ✅ "3.4x faster (median, n=240)"
|
||||
- ❌ "Thousands of users" ✅ "Used by 4,200 teams, including Linear, Vercel, and Stripe"
|
||||
- ❌ "Significant cost savings" ✅ "Saved $2.3M in AWS costs in 2025"
|
||||
|
||||
### Times / Dates
|
||||
- ❌ "Recently" ✅ "Last week"
|
||||
- ❌ "Coming soon" ✅ "Q3 2026"
|
||||
|
||||
### Specificity rules
|
||||
- If you can't name a number, name the source of your estimate
|
||||
- If you can't name a customer, say what kind of customer ("used by YC-backed startups")
|
||||
- If you can't say a date, say the quarter
|
||||
- "Soon" / "recently" / "many" are placeholders. Replace them.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Localization
|
||||
|
||||
If shipping in multiple languages:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Don't auto-translate and ship.** Have a native speaker review.
|
||||
2. **Strings in one place** — i18n keys, not inline text.
|
||||
3. **Planned space for 30–50% longer text** in German, French, Spanish, etc.
|
||||
4. **Date, number, currency formatting** per locale (`Intl.DateTimeFormat`).
|
||||
5. **Right-to-left support** if Arabic/Hebrew — test layout.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Content Checklist (before shipping)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Every headline makes a claim (or names a user, or says something specific)
|
||||
- [ ] No "Lorem ipsum" anywhere
|
||||
- [ ] No placeholder text ("Tagline", "Description goes here")
|
||||

# Editorial Patterns — Pentagram, Bloomberg BW, NYT Mag, and friends
|
||||
|
||||
> A deep-dive into the editorial sub-styles. Read this when `aesthetics.md` §2 (Editorial / Magazine) is right for the project, but you need a specific reference direction. Each sub-style has concrete rules, typefaces, layouts, and references.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use this file
|
||||
|
||||
`aesthetics.md` §2 says: **Editorial / Magazine** for publishing, journalism, premium content, manifestos, agency sites.
|
||||
|
||||
This file says: **which Pentagram cousin** to ship. Because "editorial" without specificity is a generic magazine page, not a designed one.
|
||||
|
||||
Decision rule:
|
||||
1. **Is the project publishing, journalism, premium brand, content-heavy, or manifesto-style?** If no → wrong family, go back to `aesthetics.md`.
|
||||
2. **Pick the sub-style** that matches the audience and tone.
|
||||
3. **Commit to it.** Don't blend NYT Magazine's black/white with Bloomberg BW's color. Don't mix Pentagram's restraint with Apartamento's warmth.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Sub-style comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Sub-style | Mood | Type pairing | Color | Audience |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Pentagram (archive)** | Authoritative, restrained, considered | Serif display + sans body | Often monochrome | Brands, institutions, design-aware clients |
|
||||
| **Bloomberg Businessweek** | Loud, dense, opinionated, graphic | Mixed sans/serif | Bright accent as punctuation | News readers, designers, intellectuals |
|
||||
| **NYT Magazine** | Classic, literary, calm | Serif throughout | B/W minimal | Long-form readers, literary audience |
|
||||
| **It's Nice That** | Contemporary, bright, friendly | Mixed sans + occasional serif | Multi-hue but restrained | Creative industry, design students |
|
||||
| **Apartamento** | Warm, intimate, considered | Sans display + serif body | Warm tones, soft | Interior design, lifestyle, slow living |
|
||||
| **The Gentlewoman** | Restrained, portrait-led | Sans display | Often monochrome | Fashion, design, considered culture |
|
||||
|
||||
When unsure → **Pentagram archive** — it's the safest editorial baseline.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Pentagram (archive work)
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [pentagram.com](https://pentagram.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Pentagram is a partner-led studio where each partner has their own aesthetic voice, but the studio shares principles: **strong typography, asymmetric grids, real photography, considered whitespace, restrained color, no decoration.** Their archive work is the reference standard for editorial design.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Institutional clients (museums, galleries, foundations)
|
||||
- Brand systems for considered brands
|
||||
- Editorial sites that want gravitas
|
||||
- Anything where "designed by humans" is the message
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
Pentagram work is mostly **monochrome** with one accent used sparingly:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-1: #FAFAFA
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #1A1A1A
|
||||
--ink-muted: #6B6B6B
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #A0A0A0
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E5E5E5
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #C7C7C7
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: (varies by project; often red #C8281C or no accent)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Serif display + sans body** is the dominant pairing
|
||||
- Examples: GT Super / Tiempos for display + Söhne / Inter for body
|
||||
- **Hero size:** massive — `clamp(4rem, 9vw, 9rem)` or larger
|
||||
- **Tracking:** -0.03em to -0.05em on display
|
||||
- **Line-height:** tight (1.0–1.1) on display
|
||||
- **Body:** generous (1.55–1.65)
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- **Strong vertical rhythm.** Generous gutters.
|
||||
- **Asymmetric grids.** Image bleeds off one edge, text column offset.
|
||||
- **No decorative borders.** Hairlines only where they organize information.
|
||||
- **Section numbers / folio numbers as design elements.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Asymmetric hero with massive headline + small image.** Not centered, not balanced.
|
||||
- ✅ **Section markers as design.** "§ 01 — On the work", "§ 02 — On the studio", etc.
|
||||
- ✅ **Real photography** (or none — typography-only is also valid).
|
||||
- ✅ **Image captions** in italic, often with photographer credit.
|
||||
- ✅ **Long-form considered scrolling** — sections are big, scroll is intentional.
|
||||
- ✅ **Colophon** — a page describing the typographic and technical choices.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Display type sets the design
|
||||
- ✅ Whitespace carries the design (not decoration)
|
||||
- ✅ Strong asymmetry, never centered
|
||||
- ✅ Section markers in mono / small caps
|
||||
- ✅ One accent used <5% of pixels
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ SaaS-style 3-card row
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative gradient backgrounds
|
||||
- ❌ Stock photography
|
||||
- ❌ Centered hero with two CTA buttons
|
||||

|
||||
- ❌ Multi-color rainbow palette

## 2. Bloomberg Businessweek
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [bloomberg.com/businessweek](https://www.bloomberg.com/businessweek)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Bloomberg BW is famous for its **distinctive covers** (since 2010 redesign by Richard Turley) and dense, opinionated editorial design. Mixed typefaces, bright accent colors used as punctuation, magazine-spread layouts, no fear of density or color. The early Bloomberg BW covers were especially brutalist-influenced.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- News / current affairs brands
|
||||
- Editorial products with strong opinions
|
||||
- Publications that want to be noticed
|
||||
- Anything that needs editorial "edge"
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
Bloomberg BW is unafraid of color. Pairs of saturated colors used as punctuation:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF /* or #F5F0E8 cream */
|
||||
--ink: #000000 /* true black */
|
||||
|
||||
--accent-red: #FF0000
|
||||
--accent-yellow: #FFD700
|
||||
--accent-blue: #0033A0
|
||||
--accent-green: #00A651
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Colors are used in **flat blocks** — not gradients. They mark sections, callouts, pull quotes, issue numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Mixed typefaces.** Bloomberg BW covers combine sans, serif, and mono often in one composition.
|
||||
- Common pairings: **Akzidenz-Grotesk** + **Tiempos** + **Berkeley Mono**
|
||||
- Free substitutes: **Inter** + **Fraunces** + **JetBrains Mono**
|
||||
- **Hero size:** massive — covers often set type at 200pt+
|
||||
- **Tracking:** varies wildly (Bloomberg BW uses both tight and wide tracking as a design move)
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- **Magazine spreads.** Two-page compositions that read as one design.
|
||||
- **Asymmetric, dense.** Multiple columns, varied scale.
|
||||
- **No whitespace fear** — but no whitespace waste either.
|
||||
- **Section dividers as color blocks**, not hairlines.
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Cover-as-hero.** Treat each section's opening like a magazine cover — massive type, big image (or solid color block), issue number, date, kicker.
|
||||
- ✅ **Pull quotes at display size.** Set in display face, often with rule lines above and below.
|
||||
- ✅ **Mixed sans/serif/mono in single compositions.** This is the signature.
|
||||
- ✅ **Bright accent blocks** as design elements — full-bleed rectangles of color, not gradients.
|
||||
- ✅ **Numbered issue markers**, datelines, "in this issue" panels.
|
||||
- ✅ **Loud + quiet alternation.** Not constant noise. A few loud moments, many calm moments.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Type mixing as a design move
|
||||
- ✅ Color as punctuation (full blocks)
|
||||
- ✅ Mag density with mag elegance
|
||||
- ✅ Cover-style openings for sections
|
||||
- ✅ Pull quotes at display scale
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Generic SaaS feature presentation
|
||||
- ❌ Centered everything
|
||||
- ❌ Pastel colors (Bloomberg BW uses saturated)
|
||||
- ❌ Gradients (Bloomberg BW uses flat color)
|
||||
- ❌ Tailwind default aesthetic

## 3. NYT Magazine
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
The NYT Magazine is the reference standard for literary editorial design. **Large serif typography, strong vertical rhythm, black/white minimal with one accent, issue / section markers as design, pull quotes, photography-led, masthead-style headers.**
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Long-form journalism
|
||||
- Literary brands, publishing houses
|
||||
- Premium editorial products
|
||||
- Anything that wants to feel "literary" without being dusty
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF /* pure white, classic */
|
||||
--ink: #000000 /* true black */
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #C8281C /* editorial red — used on kickers, section markers */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #FAE6E2
|
||||
|
||||
--rule-line: #000000 /* often uses true black for rule lines */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
NYT Magazine is overwhelmingly **black/white**. The red is punctuation, not background.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Serif throughout.** NYT Magazine uses Cheltenham (custom) — substitutes:
|
||||
- **Charter** (free, similar character)
|
||||
- **GT Super** (paid, editorial)
|
||||
- **Tiempos** (paid, contemporary serif)
|
||||

|
||||
- **Hero size:** massive — `clamp(4rem, 10vw, 10rem)`
|
||||
- **Tracking:** -0.02em to -0.03em on display
|
||||
- **Line-height:** tight on display (1.0), generous on body (1.6)
|
||||
- **Drop caps:** 3–4 lines, in display face, on long-form articles.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- **Strong vertical rhythm.** Generous gutters.
|
||||
- **Measure (line length):** 60–75 characters for body.
|
||||
- **Asymmetric grids:** image bleeds, text columns offset.
|
||||
- **Section markers:** "THE WEEKEND", "THE LOOK", "THE STORY" in caps mono.
|
||||
- **Footnotes / margin notes** where appropriate.
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Masthead-style header.** Issue date, volume, section name in small caps mono.
|
||||
- ✅ **Section dividers as text markers**, not decorative lines.
|
||||
- ✅ **Drop caps on long-form articles.**
|
||||
- ✅ **Pull quotes at display scale.** Set in display face, often with rule lines.
|
||||
- ✅ **Photography-led design.** Cover and inside spreads are image-driven.
|
||||
- ✅ **Captions in italic, smaller type**, often with photo credits.
|
||||
- ✅ **One accent (red) used <5% of pixels.** Almost everything is black on white.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Serif throughout (display + body in same family)
|
||||
- ✅ Generous body line-height (1.6+)
|
||||

|
||||

|

- ✅ Photography as primary visual

|
||||
- ❌ SaaS-style feature presentation
|
||||
- ❌ Generic stock photos
|
||||
- ❌ Centered body text

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Hybrid rules
|
||||
|
||||
When forced to combine editorial sub-styles:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pick dominant 70/30.** Don't blend evenly.
|
||||
2. **Share typography family.** NYT Magazine + Pentagram both use serif — easy. Bloomberg BW + It's Nice That both use mixed sans/serif — easy.
|
||||
3. **Share accent philosophy.** Don't blend B/W with multi-color.
|
||||
4. **Different sub-styles for different surfaces is fine.** Pentagram-style landing, NYT Magazine-style article reading. Share typography and tokens.

There are perhaps forty of them still working in the city
|

where the violin was invented. Marta Bellucci spent three

months with one of the youngest, who is sixty-three, and

has begun to wonder what happens when there are none.

<p class="feature__text">
|

The workshop is on the second floor of a building that has
|
||||
not been painted since 1962. You climb a narrow staircase
|
||||
and pass a door marked <em>Ulderico Bellucci — Liutaio</em>,
|
||||
and you enter a room that smells of spruce and varnish and
|
||||
the slow, patient work of centuries. Signor Bellucci is
|
||||
already at his bench when I arrive, as he has been every
|
||||
morning for forty-one years.

# Imagery & Icons — No Stock, No Emoji
|
||||
|
||||
> Pictures are where generated sites collapse. The AI default is: stock photo with a gradient overlay, emoji instead of icons, and blobs for "visual interest." All three are instant tells (`anti-patterns.md` §3, §7, §8, §10). This file is what to do instead — in order of preference.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Imagery Decision Tree
|
||||
|
||||
Before adding any image, ask in order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Does this need an image at all?** Most marketing pages are improved by removing images. Typography is the design (`SKILL.md` principle 2). A strong headline on generous whitespace beats a mediocre photo.
|
||||
2. **Can it be a CSS/SVG composition?** Covers, mockups, product visuals, data — abstract compositions read as designed and cost kilobytes (`performance.md`).
|
||||
3. **Can it be a real photo with real art direction?** Only if real photographs exist (client photos, product shots, documentary sources). Never invented stock.
|
||||
4. **Nothing above works?** Then the section is the wrong section. Cut it.
|
||||
|
||||
The tell: if you're searching a stock site for "team collaborating laptop" — the image has no reason to exist.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## CSS/SVG Art Direction (the default)
|
||||
|
||||
Abstract compositions are the house style for generated UI: they always match the token system, they never look stock, and they ship in bytes. Build them from the same tokens as the page — same surface, ink, hairline, accent.
|
||||
|
||||
### The vocabulary
|
||||
|
||||
| Composition | Build | Use for |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Rules & columns** | 1px lines, `repeating-linear-gradient` | Architecture, editorial, "structure" |
|
||||
| **Concentric circles** | Nested `border` circles, one accent ring | Sound, music, focus |
|
||||
| **Halftone / dot grid** | `radial-gradient` repeated | Print heritage, texture |
|
||||
| **Grid artifacts** | Visible column rules + one filled cell | Swiss, data, "system" |
|
||||
| **Layered planes** | 2–3 offset rectangles, one in accent | Product surfaces, layers |
|
||||
| **Chart as image** | Simple SVG bars/lines with mono labels | Metrics, proof |
|
||||
| **Poster crop** | Big numeral or letter, cropped by overflow | Covers, features |
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* Dot grid — pure CSS texture */
|
||||
.art--halftone {
|
||||
aspect-ratio: 4 / 5;
|
||||
background-image: radial-gradient(var(--ink) 1px, transparent 1.2px);
|
||||
background-size: 14px 14px;
|
||||
/* fade it: one clean idea, not wallpaper */
|
||||
-webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(#000 40%, transparent);
|
||||
mask-image: linear-gradient(#000 40%, transparent);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/* Concentric — one accent ring as the "subject" */
|
||||
.art--rings {
|
||||
aspect-ratio: 1 / 1;
|
||||
border-radius: 50%;
|
||||
border: 1px solid var(--hairline);
|
||||
display: grid; place-items: center;
|
||||
}
|
||||
.art--rings::before {
|
||||
content: ''; width: 62%; height: 62%;
|
||||
border-radius: 50%;
|
||||
border: 1px solid var(--accent);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- **One idea per composition.** Rules + circles + dots + gradient = mush. Pick one, execute precisely.
|
||||
- Compositions live inside a defined box (`aspect-ratio`), like a print plate — not floating decor behind text.
|
||||
- The accent gets one moment: one ring, one filled cell, one label. (`color.md` 5–10% rule still applies.)
|
||||
- Mark decorative art `aria-hidden="true"` (`accessibility.md`); if it *carries* information, it's an `<svg>` with a `<title>` or adjacent text.
|
||||
- Working examples: the cover plates in `examples/example-magazine.html`, the album covers in `examples/example-brutalist.html`, the CSS dashboard in `examples/example-saas.html`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## If Photography Is Real
|
||||
|
||||
Photography is only an option when real photographs exist. Then direct it like a photo editor, not a stock buyer:
|
||||
|
||||
### The art direction brief (write it before choosing)
|
||||
|
||||
- **One light source, one lens, one palette.** Mixed light and mixed lenses read as assembled, not shot.
|
||||
- **Documentary, not posed.** The workshop, not the handshake. Hands on work, not people pointing at whiteboards.
|
||||
- **No smiling-person-with-laptop.** Ever. (`anti-patterns.md` §10.)
|
||||
- **Crop with intent.** Full-bleed, hard edges, cropped off-grid — a brave crop is design; a centered subject is a placeholder.
|
||||
- **Treatment is a system:** same ratio family, same caption style, same edge treatment across the page. Two ratios maximum.
|
||||
|
||||
### Sourcing, honestly
|
||||
|
||||
| Source | Verdict |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Client/team photos (even phone-shot) | Best — real beats polished |
|
||||
| Real product photography | Required for products |
|
||||
| Public archives (museum/library, CC-licensed) | Great for editorial and history |
|
||||
| UGC with permission | Good for lifestyle and community |
|
||||
| Any stock site, any "similar images" | No |
|
||||
|
||||
### Treatment rules
|
||||
|
||||
- **No gradient overlays on text.** If text needs a scrim to be readable, the photo is wrong or the text is misplaced. (Scrim = gradient = `anti-patterns.md` §1's family.)
|
||||
- Captions are design: mono or small italic, real information — who, where, when. "Image: ..." with a real fact, not "photo."
|
||||
- Duotone/grayscale only as a system across all photos, using tokens.
|
||||
- Grain/texture: once per page, subtle. (Also `aesthetics.md` §5.)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Iconography
|
||||
|
||||
Icons are typography for concepts: one voice, measured precisely.
|
||||
|
||||
### The system
|
||||
|
||||
| Rule | Value |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Sets | **Lucide**, **Phosphor**, **Tabler**, **Feather** — pick ONE per project |
|
||||
| Stroke | 1.5px (2px at 24px+), `stroke-linecap="round"` or `square` — consistent |
|
||||
| Sizes | 16px (inline), 20px (UI), 24px (feature) — one size per context |
|
||||
| Color | `currentColor`, always — icons inherit ink/muted like text |
|
||||
| Alignment | Optically centered; 16px icons align to the x-height of body text |
|
||||
| In UI chrome | Icon + label for anything ambiguous; icon-only with `aria-label` |
|
||||
|
||||
### The correct way to ship an icon
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Icon + text label (default) -->
|
||||
<a href="/docs" class="nav-link">
|
||||
<svg aria-hidden="true" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 24 24"
|
||||
fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1.5"
|
||||
stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round">
|
||||
<path d="M4 19.5A2.5 2.5 0 0 1 6.5 17H20"/>
|
||||
<path d="M6.5 2H20v20H6.5A2.5 2.5 0 0 1 4 19.5v-15A2.5 2.5 0 0 1 6.5 2z"/>
|
||||
</svg>
|
||||
<span>Docs</span>
|
||||
</a>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Icon-only button (needs a name) -->
|
||||
<button aria-label="Close menu" class="icon-btn"> … </button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **Inline SVG, not icon fonts** (fonts break, shift, and announce garbage).
|
||||
- Same set means same grid (24×24 viewBox), same stroke, same corner philosophy. Never mix Lucide with Font Awesome on one page.
|
||||
- `aria-hidden="true"` on decorative icons; labels do the naming (`accessibility.md`).
|
||||
- **Emoji are not icons.** In product UI: never. In content (a genuinely playful brand voice): maybe once, on purpose. (`anti-patterns.md` §3.)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Avatars & Logo Bars
|
||||
|
||||
### Avatars
|
||||
|
||||
- **Initials, not mystery silhouettes.** Two letters in a circle using tokens beat every default placeholder.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.avatar {
|
||||
width: 32px; height: 32px;
|
||||
border-radius: 50%;
|
||||
display: grid; place-items: center;
|
||||
background: var(--surface-sunken);
|
||||
color: var(--ink);
|
||||
font-size: var(--text-xs);
|
||||
font-weight: 500;
|
||||
letter-spacing: 0.02em;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Real photos only if they're real people (testimonials: real quotes or no testimonials — `checklist.md` §Content).
|
||||
|
||||
### Logo bars ("trusted by")
|
||||
|
||||
- Only logos of **real, permissioned customers.** Invented logos for invented companies is the definition of `anti-patterns.md` §15 — lying.
|
||||
- Treatment: monochrome at ~60% ink, hover restores full ink; uniform optical height (18–24px), real wordmarks, no fake " Inc.".
|
||||
- No logo bar at all > a fake one. A single specific sentence ("Vercel's design team uses this weekly") beats twelve gray rectangles.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Favicon & Social Image (the 10-minute craft pass)
|
||||
|
||||
Agents ship pages with no favicon and a blank social card — the two places everyone *will* look.
|
||||
|
||||
### Favicon
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.svg" type="image/svg+xml">
|
||||
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.png" sizes="32x32"> <!-- fallback -->
|
||||
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png"> <!-- 180×180 -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Design it like a poster at 16px: the mark's single element (one letter, one ring, one bar) in accent or ink on surface. Test at 16px — if unreadable, simplify.
|
||||
|
||||
### Open Graph / Twitter card
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/og/issue-14.png">
|
||||
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- 1200×630, designed like a print cover: brand type, issue/product name, one accent moment, real metadata.
|
||||
- It should look like the site — same face, same tokens. Not a screenshot of the hero, not a logo centered in gray.
|
||||
- Zero-OG-image pages render as blank gray rectangles in every share. That's the first impression most visitors get.
|
||||

## Imagery Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Stock photo + gradient overlay + headline on top | CSS/SVG composition, or photo with real crop and real caption |
|
||||
| Emoji as feature/status icons | One icon set, inline SVG, `currentColor` |
|
||||
| Blob/mesh backgrounds "for depth" | Whitespace, hairlines, one composition per section |
|
||||
| Mystery-man avatar placeholder | Initials in a token circle |
|
||||
| Fake logo bar of invented companies | Real customers, or a specific sentence, or nothing |
|
||||
| Icon fonts / emoji symbols for UI glyphs | Inline SVG from one set |
|
||||
| Mixing icon styles (solid + outline, two sets) | One set, one stroke, one size per context |
|
||||
| alt="image" / alt="IMG_2841" | Real alt text or `alt=""` when decorative |
|
||||
| Photos in 5 aspect ratios across one page | One ratio family, treated as a system |
|
||||
| No favicon, no og:image | Designed 16px mark + 1200×630 social cover |
|
||||
| AI-generated "photo of our team" | No photography exists → composition or no image |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Ship Gate
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] Every image passed the decision tree (needed? composition? real photo? otherwise cut)
|
||||
- [ ] Compositions: one idea each, built from tokens, `aria-hidden` or titled
|
||||
- [ ] Photos (if any): real, one light, one crop system, captioned with facts
|
||||
- [ ] Icons: one set, one stroke, `currentColor`, labeled or `aria-label`-ed
|
||||
- [ ] Favicon designed and tested at 16px
|
||||
- [ ] og:image designed like a cover, same type system
|
||||
- [ ] No emoji in UI, no stock, no blobs — zero exceptions
|
||||
|
||||

# Layout — Grid, Space, Rhythm
|
||||
|
||||
> Layout is the skeleton the user never sees and always feels. A page with a real grid, a real spacing scale, and real breakpoints reads as designed. A page with guessed margins reads as generated. Layout is decided **before** the first component is built — see `SKILL.md` Step 5.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Container System
|
||||
|
||||
Decide container widths once, use them everywhere.
|
||||
|
||||
| Token | Width | Use |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `--container-read` | `65ch`–`72ch` | Long-form body text (measure) |
|
||||
| `--container-text` | `720px` | Article intros, single-column sections |
|
||||
| `--container-main` | `1200px`–`1280px` | Default page container (nav, hero, features) |
|
||||
| `--container-wide` | `1440px` | Index tables, image galleries, data-heavy pages |
|
||||
| Full bleed | `100%` | One or two moments per page — a spread, a footer, a manifesto |
|
||||
|
||||
### Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- **One container per page, plus at most one full-bleed exception.** Mixing four content widths per page reads as accidental.
|
||||
- Side padding: `clamp(20px, 4vw, 48px)` minimum; `clamp(24px, 6vw, 80px)` for editorial and Swiss pages where margins carry the design.
|
||||
- **Never let body copy span `--container-main`.** Text columns cap at ~`40ch`–`45ch` inside a wide grid; the grid column holds it, not the container.
|
||||
- Content must never touch the viewport edge below 400px — padding scales down, never below 20px.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
--container-main: 1240px;
|
||||
--container-text: 720px;
|
||||
--container-read: 68ch;
|
||||
--pad-inline: clamp(20px, 4vw, 48px);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.container {
|
||||
max-width: var(--container-main);
|
||||
margin-inline: auto;
|
||||
padding-inline: var(--pad-inline);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Spacing Scale
|
||||
|
||||
One scale. Everything is spaced from it. No `margin: 37px`, no `padding: 22px`, no one-off gaps.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
:root {
|
||||
--sp-1: 4px;
|
||||
--sp-2: 8px;
|
||||
--sp-3: 12px;
|
||||
--sp-4: 16px;
|
||||
--sp-5: 24px;
|
||||
--sp-6: 32px;
|
||||
--sp-7: 48px;
|
||||
--sp-8: 64px;
|
||||
--sp-9: 96px;
|
||||
--sp-10: 128px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Section rhythm
|
||||
|
||||
| Viewport | Between sections | Inside a section |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Mobile (< 720px) | `--sp-7` (48px) | `--sp-5` – `--sp-6` |
|
||||
| Tablet (720–1024px) | `--sp-8` (64px) | `--sp-6` |
|
||||
| Desktop (> 1024px) | `--sp-9` – `--sp-10` (96–128px) | `--sp-6` – `--sp-7` |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rules:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Space **before** a heading is larger than space after it (roughly 1.5–2×). The heading belongs to the text below it — proximity is hierarchy.
|
||||
- If two sections need a divider **and** more space, the spacing was wrong. Whitespace separates; hairlines clarify (tables, indices). Not both everywhere.
|
||||
- Space communicates hierarchy: **more space = more importance.** The hero gets the most air on the page. If every section has 128px around it, none of them is the hero.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Grid Systems
|
||||
|
||||
### The default: 12 columns
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.grid {
|
||||
display: grid;
|
||||
grid-template-columns: repeat(12, minmax(0, 1fr));
|
||||
column-gap: var(--sp-5);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use it for hero splits and multi-column zones. Not every zone needs all 12 — see splits below.
|
||||
|
||||
### Editorial / Swiss: 6 columns
|
||||
|
||||
Wider gutters, fewer columns, stronger verticals. Index pages, archives, tables of contents. Pair with hairline rules and mono metadata — see `editorial-patterns.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Asymmetric splits (the anti-slop move)
|
||||
|
||||
Equal 50/50 and identical thirds are the default AI output. Offset the split instead:
|
||||
|
||||
| Split | Effect | Typical use |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `5fr / 7fr` | Text-led, support right | Hero: headline left, product/UI right |
|
||||
| `3fr / 9fr` | Sidebar + content | Article with meta column, docs |
|
||||
| `7fr / 5fr` | Support left, text right | Feature sections alternating with the hero |
|
||||
| `4fr / 4fr / 4fr` | **Avoid** — identical thirds | (Only for genuinely equal data: pricing tiers you've already fixed per `anti-patterns.md` §13) |
|
||||
| `2fr / 6fr / 4fr` | Meta + body + aside | Editorial spreads, catalog entries |
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.hero {
|
||||
display: grid;
|
||||
grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 5fr) minmax(0, 7fr);
|
||||
column-gap: clamp(32px, 5vw, 80px);
|
||||
align-items: center;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
/* Alternate the next feature section — mirror, don't repeat */
|
||||
.feature--flipped { grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 7fr) minmax(0, 5fr); }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### The meta-column pattern
|
||||
|
||||
A workhorse: a narrow fixed column (`180px`–`220px`) for labels, numbers, kickers; the rest for content. It forces asymmetry, gives metadata a home, and scales down to one column on mobile. Used by Pentagram archives, product docs, and every example in `examples/`.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.section {
|
||||
display: grid;
|
||||
grid-template-columns: 200px minmax(0, 1fr);
|
||||
column-gap: clamp(32px, 5vw, 64px);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
@media (max-width: 720px) {
|
||||
.section { grid-template-columns: 1fr; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Composition Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### The dominant element
|
||||
|
||||
Every page has **one** element that dominates (see `SKILL.md` Step 5): usually the hero headline or the product visual. Compose around it:
|
||||
|
||||
- Give it the largest type or the largest box on the page.
|
||||
- Everything else steps down **deliberately** — second level at ~60% of its size, third at ~35%.
|
||||
- One full-bleed or oversized moment per page. Two is noise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Reading paths
|
||||
|
||||
- **Z-pattern** for sparse, hero-led pages: strong top-left anchor, diagonal to a CTA bottom-right.
|
||||
- **F-pattern** for text-heavy pages: reinforce with a strong left rule — meta column, numbered index, aligned labels.
|
||||
- **Single-axis scroll** for editorial: one strong centerline, breaks only for full-bleed spreads.
|
||||
|
||||
### Alternation
|
||||
|
||||
Down the page, alternate section structures — never repeat one module twice in a row:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
hero (5/7 split, type-led)
|
||||
→ statement (full-width, large type, no grid)
|
||||
→ index (meta-column list)
|
||||
→ detail (7/5 split, visual-led)
|
||||
→ quote or manifesto (full-bleed or inset)
|
||||
→ action (2-column, type + form)
|
||||
→ footer (colophon)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If two consecutive sections have the same structure, **flip the split or merge them.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Overlap and inset (use once)
|
||||
|
||||
An image bleeding out of its column by one gutter (`margin-right: calc(-1 * var(--sp-5))`), or a caption overlapping an image edge, adds craft. Once per page. More is decoration.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Responsive Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Mobile-first, four breakpoints, tested at five widths.**
|
||||
|
||||
| Breakpoint | Change what |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Base (320–479px) | Single column, type scale steps down ~1 tier, meta-columns collapse above content |
|
||||
| `min-width: 480px` | Two-column utility layouts (stats, small cards), larger touch paddings |
|
||||
| `min-width: 768px` | Grid splits appear (5/7 etc.), side nav space, larger section rhythm |
|
||||
| `min-width: 1024px` | Full 12-col grid, meta-column pattern, `--sp-9`+ section spacing |
|
||||
|
||||
Test widths: **320, 375, 768, 1280, 1600.** (`checklist.md` tests 375/768/1280 — 320 catches overflow, 1600 catches lonely stretched content.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Collapse rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Multi-column zones collapse **column by column** — meta columns collapse to a top row, not to a wall of centered text.
|
||||
- Left-aligned stays left-aligned at every size. Centering is not a mobile strategy.
|
||||
- Hide nothing essential on mobile. If a section must be cut, cut it at the brief level, not in CSS.
|
||||
- Tables: allow horizontal scroll inside the table wrapper (`overflow-x: auto`), never the page.
|
||||
- Fluid type via `clamp()` means most text needs **no** breakpoint overrides — see `typography.md`. Breakpoints are for **structure**, not font sizes.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* Structure at breakpoints — not font sizes */
|
||||
.hero { grid-template-columns: 1fr; }
|
||||
|
||||
@media (min-width: 768px) {
|
||||
.hero { grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 5fr) minmax(0, 7fr); }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Whitespace Rules
|
||||
|
||||
1. Whitespace is a **feature**, not leftovers (`SKILL.md` principle 4). If a section feels crowded, the fix is usually `--sp-9`, not a background tint.
|
||||
2. **Air follows importance.** Hero > section intros > body > captions.
|
||||
3. Never fill space with decoration because it feels empty. Empty is the design.
|
||||
4. Dense is allowed — indices, tables, technical docs are dense **on purpose** (see `aesthetics.md` §3, §6). Density then needs hairline structure and mono numbers to read as order, not crowding.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Layout Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Centered everything, every section | One dominant left-aligned composition; center only short statements |
|
||||
| Identical thirds repeated down the page | Asymmetric splits (5/7, 3/9), alternating structures |
|
||||
| `max-width: none` full-window text | Container system with a measure for body copy |
|
||||
| One-off margins (`17px`, `23px`, `40px`) | The spacing scale, as tokens |
|
||||
| Dividers between every section | Whitespace between sections; hairlines inside data only |
|
||||
| Hero with 200px padding and 36px headline | Big type or big visual **or** generous air — the hero must justify its space |
|
||||
| Every section same structure, same rhythm | Alternate splits and densities; one full-bleed moment |
|
||||
| Hiding whole sections on mobile | Simplify structure, keep the content |
|
||||
| Fixed pixel widths on grid children (`width: 400px`) | `minmax(0, 1fr)` tracks and `max-width` in `ch`/`%` |
|
||||
| Horizontal page scroll from a wide child | `minmax(0, 1fr)` tracks, `overflow-x: auto` on table wrappers, `max-width: 100%` on media |
|
||||
| Breakpoints that only change font sizes | Breakpoints change **structure**; type is fluid via `clamp()` |
|
||||

## Layout QA
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] One container system; body copy capped at ~45ch inside grids
|
||||
- [ ] All spacing comes from the scale — zero one-off values
|
||||
- [ ] Hero is asymmetric or has a deliberate typographic moment
|
||||
- [ ] No two consecutive sections share a structure
|
||||
- [ ] One full-bleed moment maximum
|
||||
- [ ] Tested at 320, 375, 768, 1280, 1600 — no horizontal scroll at any width
|
||||
- [ ] Breakpoints change structure, not font sizes
|
||||
- [ ] Left alignment preserved at every size
|
||||
|
||||

# Minimal UI Patterns — Linear, Stripe, Vercel, and friends
|
||||
|
||||
> A deep-dive into the six most useful minimal-SaaS sub-styles. Read this when `aesthetics.md` §1 (Refined Minimal) is right for the project, but you need to pick a *specific* direction. Each sub-style has concrete rules, palettes, components, and references — not vibes.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How to use this file
|
||||
|
||||
`aesthetics.md` §1 says: **Refined Minimal** when the product is SaaS, fintech, dev tools, or B2B. That's the family.
|
||||
|
||||
This file says: **which Linear-style cousin** to ship. Because "minimal" without a specific direction is just empty.
|
||||
|
||||
Decision rule:
|
||||
1. **Is the product B2B / SaaS / fintech / dev tools?** If no → wrong family, go back to `aesthetics.md`.
|
||||
2. **Pick the sub-style** that matches the audience and tone (use the table below).
|
||||
3. **Commit to it.** Don't blend Linear's purple with Stripe's indigo. Don't mix Vercel's pink with Arc's sage.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Sub-style comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Sub-style | Mood | Theme | Accent | Audience |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Linear** | Quiet confidence, dense, precise | Dark default | Purple `#5E6AD2` | Engineering teams, power users |
|
||||
| **Stripe** | Authoritative, code-forward, premium | Light or dark | Indigo `#635BFF` | Developers, technical buyers |
|
||||
| **Vercel** | Stark, geometric, opinionated | Either (often B/W) | None, or pink `#FF0080` | Frontend devs, designers, agencies |
|
||||
| **Arc** | Warm, considered, premium browser | Light, warm tones | Subtle red or sage | Knowledge workers, writers, designers |
|
||||
| **Mercury** | Editorial premium, banking-quality | Light, off-white | Deep green or deep blue | Finance teams, ops, founders |
|
||||
| **Cron / Notion Calendar** | Friendly precise, soft personality | Off-white, warm | Multi-hue palette (semantic) | Creators, schedulers, knowledge workers |
|
||||
|
||||
When unsure → **Linear**. It is the safest high-quality baseline for dark-mode B2B SaaS.
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Linear
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [linear.app](https://linear.app)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
The reference standard for dark-mode minimal SaaS. Quiet, dense, precise. Every pixel is a decision. The interface gets out of the way. The accent is purple, the chrome is hairline, the typography is Inter, the geometry is exact.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Engineering teams, product teams, ops teams
|
||||
- Power users who live in the app 8 hours a day
|
||||
- Products that compete on density of information
|
||||
- Dark mode by default is appropriate
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #08090A /* deep, near-black */
|
||||
--surface-1: #1B1C1F /* panels, sidebar */
|
||||
--surface-2: #26272B /* elevated cards */
|
||||
--surface-3: #2F3034 /* hover */
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #F7F8F8 /* warm-tinted near-white */
|
||||
--ink-muted: #8A8F98 /* secondary */
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #62666D /* tertiary */
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #1F2024
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #2C2D31
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #5E6AD2 /* Linear purple — the signature */
|
||||
--accent-strong: #7176E0 /* hover */
|
||||
--accent-soft: rgba(94, 106, 210, 0.14)
|
||||
|
||||
--good: #4CB782
|
||||
--warn: #E2B203
|
||||
--bad: #EB5757
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **All sans.** Inter Display for headlines, Inter for UI, Inter (or Geist) for body.
|
||||
- **No mono in chrome**, except for keyboard shortcut hints (`⌘K`).
|
||||
- **Weights:** 400 body, 500 medium for UI controls, 600 semibold for headings and primary actions. Almost never 700.
|
||||
- **Hero size:** `clamp(2.75rem, 5vw, 4.5rem)` — confident, not dramatic.
|
||||
- **Line-height:** tight on display (1.05–1.15), 1.5 on body.
|
||||
- **Tracking:** -0.02em on display, 0 elsewhere. Linear doesn't track all-caps positive in chrome.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- **Max content width:** ~1100px
|
||||
- **Sidebar:** ~240px wide, collapsible to 56px (icon-only). Always dark, always present in app.
|
||||
- **Top nav (marketing):** 60–64px tall, sticky, blur backdrop, hairline bottom border.
|
||||
- **Asymmetric hero:** headline left (5/12 cols), product UI right (7/12 cols). Never centered.
|
||||
- **Padding:** generous (px-12 desktop, px-6 mobile).
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**The sidebar**
|
||||
- Section labels in caps mono, +0.1em tracking
|
||||
- Active item: 4px left border in `--accent`, OR background tint in `--accent-soft`
|
||||
- Icon + label, 32px row height, 14px font
|
||||
- Section dividers as 1px hairlines, generous vertical spacing between sections
|
||||
|
||||
**The "New Issue" modal (or any command modal)**
|
||||
- Centered, max-width 560px
|
||||
- Input field at the top, full-width, no border, large
|
||||
- List of suggestions below, keyboard-driven (`↑ ↓ ↵`)
|
||||
- `Esc` closes, `⌘K` opens
|
||||
- Background dimmed to ~50% opacity
|
||||
- Subtle scale-in (0.98 → 1, 120ms ease-out)
|
||||
|
||||
**The empty state**
|
||||
- Centered, single illustration or icon (geometric, 1.5px stroke)
|
||||
- One sentence explaining what's missing
|
||||
- One action button ("Create your first issue")
|
||||
- Linear's empty states are famously restrained — almost no decoration
|
||||
|
||||
**The list item**
|
||||
- 40–48px tall
|
||||
- Single line of content
|
||||
- Status dot (left), title (center), metadata (right, mono)
|
||||
- Hover: background tints to `--surface-2`
|
||||
- Selected: background tints to `--accent-soft` (subtle)
|
||||
- No drop shadows, no rounded corners beyond 6px
|
||||
|
||||
**The button**
|
||||
- Two heights: 32px (compact) and 40px (default)
|
||||
- Border radius: 6px
|
||||
- Primary: `--accent` background, white text
|
||||
- Secondary: transparent, 1px hairline-strong border
|
||||
- Hover (secondary): border becomes white
|
||||
- Active: `transform: scale(0.98)` 80ms
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks to preserve
|
||||
- ✅ Hairline borders instead of shadows
|
||||
- ✅ Tabular numerals everywhere (font-feature-settings: 'tnum')
|
||||
- ✅ Inter (or close cousin — Geist) as the *only* family
|
||||
- ✅ 6px radius on everything — never pill
|
||||
- ✅ Information density is high, density is comfortable
|
||||
- ✅ Keyboard-first (visible shortcuts, ⌘K command palette)
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Drop shadows on cards
|
||||
- ❌ Bright/saturated colors anywhere
|
||||
- ❌ Glassmorphism
|
||||
- ❌ Animations beyond 150ms
|
||||
- ❌ Centering hero content
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative illustrations in chrome
|
||||
- ❌ Bouncy/spring easing
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Stripe
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [stripe.com](https://stripe.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Authoritative. Code-forward. Premium. Stripe uses code as marketing — every page has a code block, every product has a curl example. The typography is Söhne (paid) or a careful sans substitute. The accent is a distinctive indigo, present but never loud.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Developer-facing products
|
||||
- API products, infrastructure, fintech, payments
|
||||
- Audiences who read code on landing pages
|
||||
- Products where the API IS the value proposition
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF /* or #F6F9FC for sections */
|
||||
--surface-1: #F6F9FC /* soft cool tint */
|
||||
--surface-2: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-3: #E8EDF2
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #0A2540 /* Stripe's deep navy, not black */
|
||||
--ink-muted: #425466
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #8898AA
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E8EDF2
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #D4DBE3
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #635BFF /* Stripe indigo */
|
||||
--accent-strong: #5247DB
|
||||
--accent-soft: #EBF0FF
|
||||
|
||||
--good: #00875A
|
||||
--warn: #FFB300
|
||||
--bad: #E25950
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Stripe's primary ink is `#0A2540` (deep navy), not pure black. This is a signature choice — softer than black, more authoritative than gray.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Söhne** (paid) for everything; substitute with **Inter Display** + **Inter** for free.
|
||||
- Weights: 400 body, 500 for UI, 600 for headings.
|
||||
- **Hero size:** `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4.25rem)` — confident, restrained.
|
||||
- **Section H2:** `clamp(1.875rem, 3vw, 2.5rem)`.
|
||||
- **Tracking:** -0.02em on display, 0 on body.
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1080–1140px (Stripe is slightly narrower than typical SaaS)
|
||||
- Hero: text left, abstract visualization right (gradients OK here, used with restraint and brand-color)
|
||||
- Below the fold: dense sections, often with code blocks
|
||||
- Code block as a marketing surface — never decorative
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**The "gradient hero" (Stripe-specific)**
|
||||
Stripe is one of the few brands that uses a gradient hero well — and only because the gradient is *internal*, not purple-to-blue:
|
||||
```
|
||||
background: linear-gradient(180deg, #F6F9FC 0%, #FFFFFF 100%);
|
||||
/* or a subtle radial in brand color */
|
||||
background: radial-gradient(ellipse at top, rgba(99, 91, 255, 0.12) 0%, transparent 50%);
|
||||
```
|
||||
The gradient is atmosphere, not decoration. Pure white below the fold.
|
||||
|
||||
**The code block**
|
||||
- This is the marketing surface. Make it look like a real terminal.
|
||||
- Dark background (`#0A2540` or `#1B1B3A`)
|
||||
- Syntax highlighting in brand palette (indigo, light cyan, light pink)
|
||||
- Window chrome (red/yellow/green dots) for terminal feel
|
||||
- Inline cursor blinking on one line
|
||||
- Comment line explaining what the code does, in italic
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/webhook
|
||||
> Ready! Listening for events...
|
||||
> 2026-04-12 14:32:11 [200] checkout.session.completed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The "stacked cards" pricing**
|
||||
Stripe uses stacked card preview — three cards with subtle offset and shadow, showing the product from multiple angles. Used in payment-method pages.
|
||||
|
||||
**The numbered grid**
|
||||
Often Stripe presents features as a numbered list (01, 02, 03) with a description and a small visualization. Not the generic 3-card row.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Code block is a hero element
|
||||
- ✅ Stripe indigo used precisely (links, focus, primary CTA, syntax highlighting)
|
||||
- ✅ Navy ink `#0A2540` instead of pure black
|
||||
- ✅ Generous whitespace, dense info
|
||||
- ✅ Real product screenshots in context, not abstract
|
||||
- ✅ Subtle gradients (atmospheric, not decorative)
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Generic "3-card features" grid
|
||||
- ❌ Stock photos of developers
|
||||
- ❌ "Empowering developers to..." copy
|
||||
- ❌ Code blocks with fake/lorem code (Stripe uses real examples)
|
||||
- ❌ Loud hero gradients that compete with content
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Vercel
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [vercel.com](https://vercel.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Stark. Geometric. Opinionated. Vercel often ships pure black on white or pure white on black, with a single accent color (often none, sometimes a hot pink). The type is Geist (their own). The geometry is sharp — square corners, dense info, sharp typography.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Frontend developer tools, frameworks, deployment platforms
|
||||
- Products that need to feel fast and modern
|
||||
- Audiences that respect B/W restraint
|
||||
- Anything that needs to feel "opinionated"
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
|
||||
**Default (white):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-1: #FAFAFA
|
||||
--surface-2: #F4F4F5
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #000000 /* Vercel uses pure black */
|
||||
--ink-muted: #71717A
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #A1A1AA
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E4E4E7
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #D4D4D8
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #FF0080 /* Vercel pink, used sparingly */
|
||||
--accent-soft: rgba(255, 0, 128, 0.08)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Dark (also common):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #000000
|
||||
--surface-1: #0A0A0A
|
||||
--surface-2: #111111
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #FFFFFF /* Vercel uses pure white */
|
||||
--ink-muted: #A1A1AA
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #71717A
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #1F1F1F
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #2E2E2E
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #FF0080
|
||||
--accent-soft: rgba(255, 0, 128, 0.12)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Vercel uses *pure* black and *pure* white — this is a deliberate choice. Most brands shouldn't, but Vercel can because the rest of the design carries the weight.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Geist Sans** (their own, free) or **Inter** as substitute
|
||||
- **Geist Mono** for code, kickers
|
||||
- Weights: 400 body, 500 UI, 600 headings. Very rarely 700.
|
||||
- **Hero size:** `clamp(3rem, 6vw, 5rem)` — confident, often large.
|
||||
- **Tracking:** -0.04em on display headlines (Vercel tracks tight, even tighter than Linear).
|
||||
- **Line-height:** 1.0 on display headlines (very tight).
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1200px
|
||||
- Hero: usually large headline left or centered, with a sharp product UI mockup (often a terminal or dashboard).
|
||||
- Sharp grid, generous spacing between sections.
|
||||
- Sharp corners (radius 0 or 4px max).
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**The black/white inversion**
|
||||
Vercel often ships the same product in both themes. The dark theme is *pure black* with white text — not the "not-quite-black" pattern of Linear.
|
||||
|
||||
**The terminal-as-hero**
|
||||
Terminal screenshots as the hero image. Pure black background, monospace text, sometimes a subtle gradient at the edge. The terminal is the product.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ vercel deploy
|
||||
> Production: https://my-app.vercel.app [copied to clipboard]
|
||||
> Completed in 1.247s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The "all caps micro labels"**
|
||||
Section labels and metadata in uppercase mono, but with Vercel's tight tracking (not the wide tracking common elsewhere). Reads as a system, not a decoration.
|
||||
|
||||
**The geometric icons**
|
||||
Custom or Lucide icons, 16–20px, 1.5px stroke. Sharp, no rounded corners on icons.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Pure black or pure white backgrounds (Vercel breaks the "don't use pure" rule, intentionally)
|
||||
- ✅ Geist Sans + Geist Mono pairing
|
||||
- ✅ Very tight tracking (-0.04em on display)
|
||||
- ✅ Sharp corners (radius 0–4px)
|
||||
- ✅ Terminals as hero images
|
||||
- ✅ Hot pink accent used on one CTA per page max
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Rounded corners > 8px
|
||||
- ❌ Soft pastels
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative illustrations
|
||||
- ❌ Multiple accent colors
|
||||
- ❌ Centered everything (Vercel often centers hero, but it's deliberate — a *statement* of restraint, not a default)
|
||||
- ❌ Heavy animations
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Arc
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [arc.net](https://arc.net)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Warm, considered, premium. Arc's marketing is editorial-influenced — generous typography, soft warm tones, restrained accents, considered spacing. The browser itself is also designed this way. The aesthetic is "premium software for thoughtful people."
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Consumer products with premium positioning
|
||||
- Tools for writers, designers, knowledge workers
|
||||
- Products where personality is a feature
|
||||
- Anything that wants to feel "considered" without feeling cold
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FBFBF8 /* warm off-white, Arc's signature */
|
||||
--surface-1: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-2: #F4F4EE /* slightly warmer */
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #191919
|
||||
--ink-muted: #6E6E6E
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #A8A8A8
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E8E8E0
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #D4D4C8
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #FF554A /* Arc red — used very sparingly */
|
||||
--accent-soft: rgba(255, 85, 74, 0.1)
|
||||
|
||||
--good: #2E7D32
|
||||
--warn: #ED6C02
|
||||
--bad: #D32F2F
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The accent is red — used like editorial red (subhead accents, focus, "go" indicators). Almost never on backgrounds.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **GT Walsheim** (paid) or **Inter** substitute
|
||||
- Generous display sizes, often with serif influence
|
||||
- Hero size: `clamp(2.75rem, 5vw, 4.5rem)` — confident, generous
|
||||
- Tracking: -0.02em on display
|
||||
- Line-height: 1.05 on display
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1200px
|
||||
- Hero: large headline, product UI as visual (often the browser window itself)
|
||||
- Section H2s often have serif italic emphasis on key word
|
||||
- Asymmetric but warm
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**The browser-as-hero**
|
||||
The product is the browser, so the hero *is* a browser window. Rendered in CSS, sharp, considered.
|
||||
|
||||
**The "red emphasis"**
|
||||
Italic word or short phrase in display face, set in accent red. Like an editorial pull quote, used inline in headlines.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
The browser<br>
|
||||
that <em>thinks</em><br>
|
||||
with you.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The "small card, big moment"**
|
||||
Arc uses small product moments (a single feature panel) with very generous surrounding whitespace. Less is more.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Warm off-white background (not pure white)
|
||||
- ✅ Considered italic emphasis in headlines
|
||||
- ✅ Soft product screenshots (browser windows with internal UI)
|
||||
- ✅ Generous whitespace
|
||||
- ✅ Red accent on maybe 5% of pixels

|
||||
- ❌ Multiple accent colors
|

## 5. Mercury / premium fintech
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [mercury.com](https://mercury.com)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Editorial premium. Banking-quality. Mercury positions itself as the bank for startups, and its design language is "Stripe for finance" — clean, dense, considered, with serif influence in some headlines.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Fintech products
|
||||
- Banking, payments, treasury
|
||||
- Premium positioning in any B2B vertical
|
||||
- Products where the audience expects "considered" design
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-1: #FAFAF8 /* warm tint */
|
||||
--surface-2: #F4F2EE
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #1A1A1A
|
||||
--ink-muted: #6E6E6E
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #999999
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E8E5DE
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #D4D0C6
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #1B4332 /* Mercury deep green */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #E8F0EC
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Mercury uses a deep, considered green as accent — almost no other brand does this, so it reads as "premium banking" instantly.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Söhne** (paid) + occasional serif (Tiempos) for editorial moments
|
||||
- Substitute: **Inter** for sans, **GT Super** or **Fraunces** for serif
|
||||
- Hero size: `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem)` — confident
|
||||
- Section H2: `clamp(1.875rem, 3vw, 2.5rem)`
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1200px
|
||||
- Hero: headline left, product UI right (always — never centered)
|
||||
- Dense sections below with data and tables
|
||||
- Generous whitespace between sections
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**The "table as hero"**
|
||||
Fintech products often show tables of data (transactions, balances) in hero sections. Mercury does this well — clean rows, tabular numerals, hairline dividers.
|
||||
|
||||
**The "data visualization"**
|
||||
Numbers are presented as design — not as decoration. Big numbers with context, comparison, trend indicators.
|
||||
|
||||
**The serif moment**
|
||||
A serif word in an otherwise sans context. Used sparingly. Signals "we have time to consider this."
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Deep green or deep blue accent (premium banking colors)
|
||||
- ✅ Serif moment in headlines (sparingly)
|
||||
- ✅ Tables as design elements
|
||||
- ✅ Editorial influence in copy and rhythm
|
||||
- ✅ Generous whitespace
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Bright/banking-blue accents (#1E88E5 etc.)
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative charts (charts should be data, not decoration)
|
||||
- ❌ Centered hero
|
||||
- ❌ Generic fintech marketing copy
|
||||

## 6. Cron / Notion Calendar (friendly precise)
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [cron.com](https://cron.com), [notion.so/product/calendar](https://notion.so/product/calendar)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Friendly but precise. Off-white backgrounds, warm tones, multi-hue palette used *semantically* (each color = a category, state, or feature). Rounded but not pill. Custom illustrations. Has personality without losing professionalism.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Productivity tools, calendars, schedulers
|
||||
- Knowledge work products
|
||||
- Consumer B2B (Notion, Cron, Things)
|
||||
- Anything where delight is part of the value
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FAF8F5 /* warm off-white */
|
||||
--surface-1: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-2: #F2EFEA
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #1F1F1F
|
||||
--ink-muted: #6B6B6B
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #A8A8A8
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E8E5DE
|
||||
|
||||
/* Multi-hue semantic palette — used like categories */
|
||||
--hue-1: #FF6B6B /* coral */
|
||||
--hue-2: #4ECDC4 /* teal */
|
||||
--hue-3: #FFD93D /* mustard */
|
||||
--hue-4: #6C5CE7 /* soft purple */
|
||||
--hue-5: #95E1D3 /* mint */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each color is used for a specific category. The palette is coherent (all desaturated, similar value).
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **GT Walsheim** (paid) or **Inter** substitute
|
||||
- Display: `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem)`
|
||||
- Friendly but not casual
|
||||
- Tracking: -0.02em on display
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1200px
|
||||
- Hero: large headline + product UI (calendar view)
|
||||
- Custom illustrations as visual texture
|
||||
- Rounded corners: 8–12px
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
|
||||
**The semantic color**
|
||||
Each product category, feature, or user has a color. The color is *meaningful*, not decorative.
|
||||
|
||||
**The custom illustration**
|
||||
Cron and Notion Calendar use custom illustrations as visual texture — geometric, friendly, consistent style. Not stock, not emoji.
|
||||
|
||||
**The "personality in microcopy"**
|
||||
Microcopy has a voice. Empty states have a sentence that makes you smile. Tooltips have one-liners.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hallmarks
|
||||
- ✅ Multi-hue palette used semantically
|
||||
- ✅ Custom illustrations (geometric, friendly)
|
||||
- ✅ Off-white warm backgrounds
|
||||
- ✅ Rounded but not pill (8–12px)
|
||||
- ✅ Microcopy with personality
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Emoji as icons
|
||||
- ❌ Stock photos
|
||||
- ❌ Generic 3-card row with icons
|
||||
- ❌ Loud/bright colors with no logic
|
||||
- ❌ Corporate throat-clearing copy

## 7. Sublime
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [sublime.app](https://sublime.app)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
macOS-native email client with a calm, considered, premium feel. Generous spacing, light, airy. Subtle warm off-white. The aesthetic of "premium productivity software" applied to email — quiet confidence, soft depth, restraint.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Productivity tools with macOS / native feel
|
||||
- Email, notes, calendar apps
|
||||
- Anything targeting "thoughtful" professional users
|
||||
- Premium positioning in consumer productivity
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FBFBFA /* warm off-white, very subtle tint */
|
||||
--surface-1: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-2: #F4F4F1
|
||||
|
||||
--ink: #1A1A1A
|
||||
--ink-muted: #6B6B6B
|
||||
--ink-subtle: #A0A0A0
|
||||
|
||||
--hairline: #E8E8E5
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #D4D4D0
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #1A73E8 /* Sublime's restrained blue */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #E8F0FE
|
||||
|
||||
--good: #1E8E3E
|
||||
--warn: #F9AB00
|
||||
--bad: #D93025
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Sublime uses a quiet blue, not a loud one. Almost editorial in restraint.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **SF Pro Display / SF Pro Text** (Apple system) or **Inter** as substitute
|
||||
- Weights: 400 body, 500 for UI, 600 for headings
|
||||
- Hero size: `clamp(2rem, 4vw, 3rem)` — calm, not dramatic
|
||||
- Tracking: -0.01em on display (subtle)
|
||||
- Generous line-height: 1.6 on body
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1100px (narrower than typical SaaS)
|
||||
- Hero: small headline + generous space + product UI screenshot
|
||||
- Section H2s often in serif (subtle editorial influence)
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ Sidebar with subtle hover state, no harsh borders
|
||||
- ✅ Generous line-height in lists (each row has air)
|
||||
- ✅ Soft shadows only on floating elements (modals, popovers)
|
||||
- ✅ "Premium native app" feel — like Apple Mail, but better designed
|
||||
- ✅ Soft depth via very subtle backgrounds, not shadows
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Heavy drop shadows
|
||||
- ❌ Loud accent colors
|
||||
- ❌ Dense data tables (Sublime is about calm, not density)
|
||||
- ❌ Aggressive animations

||||
**Live reference:** [height.app](https://height.app)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Auto-updating project management with a clean, professional aesthetic. Light by default (rare for PM tools). Specific to "tasks that update themselves" — the interface gets out of the way, the data does the talking.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Project management, task tools
|
||||
- Tools where automation is the value proposition
|
||||

|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||

- ✅ Strong, clear status indicators
|
||||
- ✅ Property-based UI (custom fields visible, machine-readable)
|
||||
- ✅ Generous whitespace, low visual noise
|
||||
- ✅ Dense info but never cluttered
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Heavy dark themes (Height is light-first)
|
||||
- ❌ Loud, marketing-y hero
|
||||
- ❌ Decorative illustrations
|
||||
- ❌ Generic "3-card features" presentation

|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
Design tool marketing that's technical, dense, and full of personality. Multi-color palette (each Figma product has its color). Mixed sans typography. Strong grid. Custom iconography. Code-forward in some pages (CSS, SVG, Figma plugin code).
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Developer / designer tools
|
||||
- Products where extensibility / API is a feature

- **Inter** for everything (Figma's choice)
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
### Layout
|

|
||||
- Code blocks as marketing surfaces (CSS, plugin code)
|
||||
- Strong grids, dense info
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ Multi-product color coding
|
||||
- ✅ Custom geometric icons (Figma's famous logomark family)
|
||||
- ✅ CSS / SVG / plugin code shown as marketing
|

## 11. Notion (main app / workspace)
|
||||
|
||||
**Live reference:** [notion.so](https://notion.so)
|
||||
|
||||
### Identity
|
||||
All-in-one workspace with the most distinctive illustration system in modern SaaS. Off-white warm background, custom hand-drawn-feeling illustrations (geometric, friendly, slightly weird), generous whitespace, restrained accents, personality in microcopy.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to choose
|
||||
- Productivity, notes, docs tools
|
||||
- All-in-one workspace products
|
||||
- Tools targeting "creative knowledge workers"
|
||||
- Anything that wants warmth + utility
|
||||
|
||||
### Palette
|
||||
```
|
||||
--surface: #FAF9F7 /* warm off-white */
|
||||
--surface-1: #FFFFFF
|
||||
--surface-2: #F4F2EE
|
||||
|

--ink: #2F2F2F
|

--ink-muted: #6B6B6B
|

--ink-subtle: #A8A8A8
|

||||
--hairline: #E8E5DE
|
||||
--hairline-strong: #D4D0C6
|
||||
|
||||
--accent: #2383E2 /* Notion's blue */
|
||||
--accent-soft: #E6F0FB
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notion's "accent" is blue, but it's used very sparingly. The illustrations carry the color.
|
||||
|
||||
### Typography
|
||||
- **Inter** for UI
|
||||
- Sometimes **Source Serif** for editorial moments
|
||||
- Hero size: `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem)` — confident, generous
|
||||
- Tracking: -0.02em on display
|
||||
- Line-height: 1.1 on display, 1.55 on body
|
||||
|
||||
### Layout
|
||||
- Max-width 1200px
|
||||
- Hero: text + product UI (a Notion page being edited)
|
||||
- Custom illustrations throughout, often as the visual focus of a section
|
||||
|
||||
### Signature patterns
|
||||
- ✅ **Custom illustrations** — hand-drawn feel, geometric, slightly weird, friendly. This is Notion's signature. Don't try to copy exactly; understand the principle: illustrations have *personality*, are *consistent in style*, and are *the visual focus* of sections.
|
||||
- ✅ Generous whitespace
|
||||
- ✅ Personality in microcopy: "Welcome back", "Add a thing", empty states that say something
|
||||
- ✅ Sidebar with sections, page tree, simple icons
|
||||
- ✅ Minimal chrome — the page is the focus
|
||||
|
||||
### Anti-patterns to avoid
|
||||
- ❌ Generic 3-card features with stock icons
|
||||
- ❌ Loud bright colors
|
||||
- ❌ Heavy drop shadows
|
||||
- ❌ Corporate throat-clearing copy

## Decision tree (updated)
|
||||
|
||||
|

B2B SaaS / fintech / dev tool?
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Hybrid rules (when forced to combine)
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes a project sits between two sub-styles. Rules:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Pick the dominant one** — 70/30, not 50/50.
|
||||
2. **Share typography family** — if Linear + Stripe, both use Inter. Don't mix Söhne and Inter.
|
||||
3. **Share accent philosophy** — don't blend purple + indigo + sage. Pick one.
|
||||
4. **Surface consistency** — if dark in some places and light in others, ensure the chrome (nav, footer) is consistent.
|
||||
5. **Different sub-styles for marketing vs product** is fine — Linear-style marketing, Mercury-style dashboard, etc. They share typography and tokens.

# Motion — Restraint, Intent, Feel
|
||||
|
||||
> Animation is feedback, not decoration. Every motion must communicate: state changed, content arrived, attention needed. If it doesn't communicate — remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Three Questions
|
||||
|
||||
Before adding any animation, ask:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **What does this motion communicate?** ("The button is now active" / "This content is new" / "Loading finished")
|
||||
2. **What happens if I remove it?** (Usually: nothing — and that's the test)
|
||||
3. **Is it accessible?** (Does it respect `prefers-reduced-motion`?)
|
||||
|
||||
If you can't answer #1, delete it.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Principles
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Less motion, more meaning
|
||||
A page with 12 different entrance animations feels unstable. A page with ONE entrance system feels considered.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pick one entrance system. Pick one hover system. Pick one page-transition pattern. Use them throughout.**
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Easing is everything
|
||||
- **`ease-out`** for things arriving (decals landing on screen, modals opening, content appearing)
|
||||
- **`ease-in`** for things leaving (modals closing, content dismissed)
|
||||
- **`ease-in-out`** for things that loop or oscillate
|
||||
- **`linear`** for things that are continuous and infinite (rare — loading spinners)
|
||||
- **Custom cubic-bezier** for character: `cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.72, 0, 1)` (Apple-style, "expressive out") or `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (Material standard)
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid:** `ease` (default — the default is rarely the right answer for important moments).
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Duration is the dial
|
||||
Faster = more responsive. Slower = more dramatic.
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Duration |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Hover state change | 80–150ms |
|
||||
| Button press | 60–100ms |
|
||||
| Modal open | 150–250ms |
|
||||
| Modal close | 100–200ms |
|
||||
| Tooltip appear | 100–150ms |
|
||||
| Content fade in | 200–400ms |
|
||||
| Page transition | 250–500ms |
|
||||
| Hero entrance | 500–800ms (one moment — not every section) |
|
||||
| Skeleton shimmer loop | 1500ms |
|
||||
| Marquee / infinite scroll | 30000–60000ms (very slow) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule of thumb:** the smaller the change, the faster the transition. The bigger the change, the longer it can take.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Distance is small
|
||||
Things should move **a little**. A modal opening from `scale(0.9) → scale(1)` (10% growth) feels elegant. From `scale(0.5) → scale(1)` (50% growth) feels cartoonish.
|
||||
|
||||
**Default:** content shifts 4–12px. Modals scale 0.96–1. Cards lift 2–4px. Hover scale 1.02–1.05 max.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Entrance Animations
|
||||
|
||||
### The system
|
||||
Choose ONE entrance pattern. Apply to:
|
||||
- Hero elements (on load)
|
||||
- Content sections (on scroll into view)
|
||||
- Modal/dialog content
|
||||
- Toast notifications
|
||||
|
||||
**Options:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Fade** — most subtle, almost universal
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@keyframes fadeIn {
|
||||
from { opacity: 0; }
|
||||
to { opacity: 1; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
.fade-in {
|
||||
animation: fadeIn 400ms ease-out both;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fade + rise** — slightly more dramatic, good for text
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@keyframes fadeRise {
|
||||
from { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(8px); }
|
||||
to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fade + slide** — for sidebar items, list items
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@keyframes fadeSlide {
|
||||
from { opacity: 0; transform: translateX(-12px); }
|
||||
to { opacity: 1; transform: translateX(0); }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Stagger** — for groups of items (lists, grids)
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.stagger-item { opacity: 0; animation: fadeRise 400ms ease-out forwards; }
|
||||
.stagger-item:nth-child(1) { animation-delay: 0ms; }
|
||||
.stagger-item:nth-child(2) { animation-delay: 60ms; }
|
||||
.stagger-item:nth-child(3) { animation-delay: 120ms; }
|
||||
.stagger-item:nth-child(4) { animation-delay: 180ms; }
|
||||
/* etc — or use CSS variables for delay */
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Entrance anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Every section animating in as you scroll (exhausting)
|
||||
- ❌ Long durations (1s+) for routine content
|
||||
- ❌ Bouncy easing (`cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55)`) on serious interfaces
|
||||
- ❌ Slide-in from random directions (left, right, top, bottom — pick one)
|
||||
- ❌ Different animation types per section (no system)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Hover Animations
|
||||
|
||||
### The system
|
||||
Pick a hover pattern. Apply to all interactive elements of a kind.
|
||||
|
||||
**Buttons**
|
||||
- Background color change: 120ms
|
||||
- Optional: subtle scale `transform: scale(1.02)` — only on prominent CTAs
|
||||
|
||||
**Cards**
|
||||
- Border color strengthens OR background tints slightly OR 2px lift via translateY
|
||||
- Pick ONE. Don't combine.
|
||||
|
||||
**Links**
|
||||
- Underline grows from left (preferred) OR color change
|
||||
- 150ms
|
||||
|
||||
**Icons**
|
||||
- Slight rotate (5–10deg) OR slight scale (1.1)
|
||||
- Pick the right direction for the meaning (e.g., arrow rotates forward, chevron rotates down)
|
||||
|
||||
### Hover anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ `transform: scale(1.1)` on every hover — feels unstable
|
||||
- ❌ Color shifts that don't match the palette (random bright colors)
|
||||
- ❌ Multiple property changes at once (color + size + shadow + rotate)
|
||||
- ❌ Long durations on hover (anything > 200ms feels laggy)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Scroll-triggered Animations
|
||||
|
||||
**Default:** don't animate on scroll. Content appears when it appears.
|
||||
|
||||
**When scroll animations ARE appropriate:**
|
||||
- Long-form editorial pages (sections reveal as you read)
|
||||
- Image galleries (lazy reveal as you scroll)
|
||||
- Data visualizations (animate in as they enter viewport)
|
||||
- Storytelling / product tours
|
||||
|
||||
**How to do it well:**
|
||||
- Trigger once (`IntersectionObserver`, threshold 0.1–0.2)
|
||||
- Animation is subtle (fade + small rise)
|
||||
- Don't replay on scroll back
|
||||
- Provide a no-JS fallback (content visible by default)
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
|
||||
entries.forEach(entry => {
|
||||
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
|
||||
entry.target.classList.add('in-view');
|
||||
observer.unobserve(entry.target);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
}, { threshold: 0.15 });
|
||||
|
||||
document.querySelectorAll('.reveal').forEach(el => observer.observe(el));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.reveal {
|
||||
opacity: 0;
|
||||
transform: translateY(12px);
|
||||
transition: opacity 600ms ease-out, transform 600ms ease-out;
|
||||
}
|
||||
.reveal.in-view {
|
||||
opacity: 1;
|
||||
transform: translateY(0);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Scroll animation anti-patterns
|
||||
- ❌ Parallax everywhere (rarely adds value)
|
||||
- ❌ Horizontal scroll as the only way to navigate a section
|
||||
- ❌ Content invisible until JS loads (broken without JS)
|
||||
- ❌ Replaying animations on every scroll back through
|
||||
- ❌ "Scroll to discover" with no clear signal of what comes next
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Page Transitions
|
||||
|
||||
For SPAs and multi-page sites with shared chrome.
|
||||
|
||||
**The rule:** fast, consistent, and barely noticeable.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fade transition:** 200ms cross-fade between pages
|
||||
- **Slide (subtle):** outgoing content slides 20px left, incoming slides in from right — only if the navigation is forward/back in a clear sequence
|
||||
- **Duration:** 200–300ms max
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid:**
|
||||
- ❌ Heavy transitions that delay content (users notice delay as "broken")
|
||||
- ❌ Different transition styles for different navigation actions
|
||||
- ❌ Animated logos or brand marks on every page load
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Micro-interactions Worth Their Weight
|
||||
|
||||
- **Toggle switches** — smooth slide with color change
|
||||
- **Checkbox check** — satisfying tick animation
|
||||
- **Drag handles** — feedback as user drags
|
||||
- **Form validation** — color change + small shake on error (subtle, not aggressive)
|
||||
- **Toast notifications** — slide in from corner, auto-dismiss with progress bar
|
||||
- **Number counters** — counting up to value (data viz, hero stats)
|
||||
- **Progress bars** — width transitions smoothly, not jumps
|
||||
- **Loading completion** — content fades in smoothly, skeleton → real
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance
|
||||
|
||||
### Animate these properties (cheap, GPU-accelerated):
|
||||
- `transform` (translate, scale, rotate)
|
||||
- `opacity`
|
||||
|
||||
### Avoid animating these (expensive, layout-thrashing):
|
||||
- `width`, `height`
|
||||
- `top`, `left`, `right`, `bottom`
|
||||
- `margin`, `padding`
|
||||
- `border-width`
|
||||
- `box-shadow` (acceptable for small elements; expensive for large)
|
||||
|
||||
### Tips
|
||||
- Use `will-change: transform` sparingly (only on elements about to animate)
|
||||
- Use `transform: translateZ(0)` or `will-change` to promote to GPU layer
|
||||
- Use `requestAnimationFrame` for JS animations
|
||||
- For long-running animations, use `transform` and `opacity` only
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Accessibility — `prefers-reduced-motion`
|
||||
|
||||
**Required.** Some users get nauseous, dizzy, or worse from motion. Respect their setting.
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
|
||||
*, *::before, *::after {
|
||||
animation-duration: 0.01ms !important;
|
||||
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
|
||||
transition-duration: 0.01ms !important;
|
||||
scroll-behavior: auto !important;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or be more selective — only kill the heavy stuff:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
|
||||
.reveal { opacity: 1; transform: none; transition: none; }
|
||||
.parallax { transform: none !important; }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Always test:** toggle "Reduce motion" in your OS settings. Visit the site. Does it still work? Is content still visible?
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Motion Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Animate every section on scroll | Animate selectively, or none |
|
||||
| `transition: all` on every element | Specify which properties animate |
|
||||
| Bouncy spring physics on every UI | Most UI should be linear-feeling ease-out |
|
||||
| Parallax on every image | Parallax only when it adds to the narrative |
|
||||
| Long page transitions (>400ms) | Keep page transitions under 300ms |
|
||||
| `infinite` animations | Animations should have a clear end |
|
||||
| Hover scale of 1.1+ | Subtle scale (1.02–1.05) if any |
|
||||
| Different motion styles in different sections | One system, applied consistently |
|
||||
| Animations that require JS to see content | Content visible by default; animations enhance |
|
||||
| Skipping `prefers-reduced-motion` | Always honor it |
|
||||
| Animated gradient backgrounds | Static backgrounds or no backgrounds |
|
||||
| Marquee text scrolling fast | Slow, considered (or don't) |
|
||||
| Number counting from 0 with 4s duration | Count quickly (1–2s) or show the final value |
|
||||
| Loading spinner that takes 30s | Show progress, not just a spinner |
|
||||
| Toast that bounces in | Slide in, fade out |

# Performance — Speed Is Design
|
||||
|
||||
> A beautiful page that loads in 5 seconds reads as broken. Speed is not engineering garnish — it is part of the aesthetic. Quiet, fast, immediate: the same words that describe good design describe good performance. Agents over-ship: three fonts, a framework, and a chat widget for a page that could be HTML and 40KB of CSS. This file is the counterweight.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Budgets (decide before building)
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Budget | Why |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **LCP** | < 2.5s (mobile, 4G throttled) | The "is this page real?" moment |
|
||||
| **INP** | < 200ms | Interaction feels instant, not sluggish |
|
||||
| **CLS** | < 0.1 | Nothing jumps while reading |
|
||||
| Page weight — marketing page | < 1 MB, and < 300 KB on the wire critical path | Respect the visitor |
|
||||
| Page weight — content page | < 500 KB | Text is cheap; bloat is chosen |
|
||||
| Fonts | ≤ 2 families, ≤ 4 files total, ≤ ~300 KB | See below |
|
||||
| JS — mostly-static page | ≤ 50 KB, or **none** | If CSS can do it, CSS does it |
|
||||
|
||||
If a requirement breaks the budget, say so and cut the requirement — don't ship the slow version silently.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Fonts (the #1 agent-made slowdown)
|
||||
|
||||
The full setup is in `typography.md` §Loading Fonts. The floor:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<link rel="preload" href="/fonts/InterVariable.woff2" as="font" type="font/woff2" crossorigin>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@font-face {
|
||||
font-family: 'Inter';
|
||||
src: url('/fonts/InterVariable.woff2') format('woff2-variations');
|
||||
font-weight: 100 900;
|
||||
font-display: swap;
|
||||
unicode-range: U+0000-00FF; /* subset to what you actually use */
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Rules:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Variable font > family of static weights.** One file, every weight.
|
||||
- Load **woff2 only.** No ttf, no eot, no woff fallback chain from 2015.
|
||||
- `font-display: swap` (or `optional` for non-critical faces) — invisible text is a broken page.
|
||||
- Preload **only** the display face used above the fold. Preloading everything defeats preloading.
|
||||
- Google Fonts is acceptable for demos; self-host for production — privacy, one fewer origin, no third-party CSS chain.
|
||||
- **Fallback metrics** kill the swap "jump" (`size-adjust`, `ascent-override`) — CLS goes to near zero:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
@font-face {
|
||||
font-family: 'Inter-fallback';
|
||||
src: local('Arial');
|
||||
size-adjust: 107%;
|
||||
ascent-override: 90%;
|
||||
descent-override: 22%;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Images
|
||||
|
||||
Agents love full-bleed PNGs. Kill them:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Format:** AVIF > WebP > JPEG. PNG only for flat graphics that SVG can't do.
|
||||
2. **Responsive:** every content image ships `srcset` + `sizes`:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<img src="/work/cover-800.avif"
|
||||
srcset="/work/cover-400.avif 400w, /work/cover-800.avif 800w, /work/cover-1600.avif 1600w"
|
||||
sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
|
||||
width="800" height="533"
|
||||
alt="Halftone studio — shelving system installed for Mira Almeida, Lisbon"
|
||||
loading="lazy" decoding="async">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Reserve space:** `width` + `height` attributes (or CSS `aspect-ratio`) on **every** image. Unreserved images are the top cause of CLS.
|
||||
4. **Lazy-load below the fold; never lazy-load the LCP image.** The hero image gets the opposite treatment:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<link rel="preload" as="image" href="/hero-1600.avif" fetchpriority="high">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. Hero/background images ≤ 200 KB after compression. If it can't compress, it should be CSS or SVG — see `imagery.md`.
|
||||
6. `prefers-reduced-data` exists; treat giant decorative media as optional, not mandatory.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## CSS
|
||||
|
||||
- **One stylesheet** for a marketing page, hand-written, token-driven (`color.md`, `layout.md`). It will be smaller than any utility purge.
|
||||
- No `@import` chains (serialized downloads). `<link rel="stylesheet">` in `head`, once.
|
||||
- The examples in `examples/` embed CSS in a single HTML file for portability. **In production, split it out** — page cacheability matters from visitor two onward.
|
||||
- Critical CSS is a last resort for heavy pages, not a default. A 30KB stylesheet doesn't need inlining logic.
|
||||
- `content-visibility: auto` on long below-the-fold sections is free render speed:
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
.section { content-visibility: auto; contain-intrinsic-size: auto 600px; }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## JavaScript — Ship None If You Can
|
||||
|
||||
Ask in order:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Does this need JS at all?** Menus (`<details>`), accordions (`<details>`), carousels (scroll-snap), tabs (radio inputs), dialogs (`<dialog>`), theme toggle (no — server/inline), hover reveals (CSS).
|
||||
2. If yes — **progressive enhancement**: the content works with JS disabled, JS upgrades it.
|
||||
3. If a framework is already justified by the brief (real app state, product UI), fine — but a landing page in a SPA is slop with extra steps.
|
||||
|
||||
Rules when JS is used:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<script type="module" src="/app.js"></script> <!-- module = deferred by default -->
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `defer` / `async` / `type="module"` — never a blocking `<script>` in `head`.
|
||||
- One file beats five on first load; five beat one after first visit (cache). For demos: one.
|
||||
- No spinner for operations under 300ms — see perceived performance below.
|
||||
- Event handlers on scroll/input: `passive: true` where you don't `preventDefault()`; debounce real work.
|
||||
- No JS "framework CDN + await hydration" for a static page. HTML is already interactive.
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Third Parties (the silent budget killers)
|
||||
|
||||
| Third party | Real cost | Decision |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Chat widget | 300 KB–1.5 MB, main-thread | Marketing page: a link to email/open chat. Never autoload |
|
||||
| Analytics | 10–100 KB | One script, deferred, or server-side |
|
||||
| Font CDN | Extra origin + CSS chain | Self-host in production |
|
||||
| Map embed | 1 MB+ | Screenshot + link, or static map tiles |
|
||||
| Video embed | 1 MB+ on "view" | Facade: poster image + click-to-load |
|
||||
| A/B tool | Blocking script | Question the tool |
|
||||
|
||||
Every third-party script is a budget decision. Add one = remove weight somewhere else.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Web Vitals in Practice
|
||||
|
||||
**LCP** — usually the hero headline or hero image.
|
||||
- Nothing blocking it: fonts preloaded, hero image `fetchpriority="high"`, no render-blocking JS.
|
||||
- No lazy-load, no `display:none` at mobile then swap.
|
||||
|
||||
**CLS** — movement after render.
|
||||
- Every image/video/iframe has reserved dimensions.
|
||||
- Fonts: `font-display: swap` + fallback metrics (above).
|
||||
- No banners/modals injected on load. Nothing slides in from the top.
|
||||
|
||||
**INP** — interaction latency.
|
||||
- Handlers do one small thing; heavy work is chunked (`requestIdleCallback`) or in a worker.
|
||||
- Debounce input-driven recalculation; don't re-render lists on every keystroke past what's visible.
|
||||
- Animations stay on `transform`/`opacity` (`motion.md` §Performance) so the main thread is free.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Perceived Performance (the design half)
|
||||
|
||||
- **< 100ms:** feels instant — do the thing, show nothing.
|
||||
- **100–300ms:** still instant — no spinner needed.
|
||||
- **300ms–1s:** show *something real*: skeleton of actual layout, button → "Working…" state.
|
||||
- **> 1s:** progress with meaning (steps, not a liar's progress bar); keep the page usable.
|
||||
- Skeletons must **match final layout** (`components.md` §States) — wrong-shaped skeletons cause their own CLS.
|
||||
- Optimistic UI for reversible actions (toggle on immediately, reconcile after).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Measuring (never guess)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Lighthouse** (DevTools, mobile, throttled) — LCP/INP/CLS + the page-weight waterfall.
|
||||
2. **PageSpeed Insights** — lab + real-user field data when available.
|
||||
3. **WebPageTest** — 4G Moto G profile for the honest truth.
|
||||
4. DevTools Network tab, "Disable cache," throttled — count requests and KB **before** being told to.
|
||||
|
||||
The examples in `examples/` should each score 95+ on Performance/Best-Practices out of the box. If a change drops it below 90, the change needs a reason.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| React/Vue SPA for a static landing page | HTML + CSS, JS where it earns its bytes |
|
||||
| Blocking `<script>` in `<head>` | `type="module"` / `defer` |
|
||||
| Full-bleed 3 MB PNG hero | Compressed AVIF/WebP ≤ 200 KB, or CSS/SVG composition |
|
||||
| Lazy-loading the hero image | Preload + `fetchpriority="high"` |
|
||||
| Images without `width`/`height` | Dimensions or `aspect-ratio`, always |
|
||||
| Nine font files in four families | ≤ 2 families, variable, woff2, subset |
|
||||
| `@import`-chained CSS | One `<link>` stylesheet |
|
||||
| Spinner for a 150ms action | Nothing — it's already done |
|
||||
| Chat widget autoloading on a landing page | Link; load on intent |
|
||||
| Tracking pixels accumulated "just in case" | One deferred analytics script |
|
||||
| Page "works" only after hydration | Progressive enhancement |
|
||||
| Deciding speed is "later, optimization" | Budgets are decided before building |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Ship Gate
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, INP < 200ms (throttled mobile)
|
||||
- [ ] Total transfer < budget (1 MB marketing / 500 KB content)
|
||||
- [ ] ≤ 4 font files, all woff2, swap + fallback metrics
|
||||
- [ ] Every image: format, srcset, dimensions, correct loading strategy
|
||||
- [ ] No blocking JS; JS justified per feature
|
||||
- [ ] Third parties enumerated and costed
|
||||
- [ ] Tested on throttled 4G, not just the dev machine
|
||||

# Frontend Design Skill
|
||||
|
||||
> A modular design-quality skill for AI agents building websites. Output that reads as if made by a senior designer at a top studio — not as if generated by an LLM guessing at "modern web design."
|
||||
|
||||
**7,842 lines. 18 files. Zero purple-to-blue gradients.**
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The problem
|
||||
|
||||
Ask an AI agent to build you a landing page. You will get:
|
||||
|
||||
- A purple-to-blue gradient hero.
|
||||
- Centered headline. Two CTA buttons. A "trusted by 10,000+" logo bar.
|
||||
- Three identical feature cards in a row, repeated three times.
|
||||
- A testimonial carousel with stock headshots.
|
||||
- Lorem ipsum-level copy that says nothing.
|
||||
|
||||
This is **AI slop** — the visual shorthand for "an LLM made this." It is what every AI defaults to, because it is what every AI has seen ten thousand times in its training set. It is the gravitational center of generative output, and everything has to actively push against it.
|
||||
|
||||
The skill files in this repo push against it.

||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Total: 7,842 lines across 18 files.** Each file is independently loadable, so an agent can pull only what it needs without burning context on irrelevant guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
|
||||
The skill is built around a single principle: **restraint over decoration.** Every element must earn its place. If you can remove it without losing meaning — remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
That principle is applied across:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Aesthetic selection** — the agent picks one of 7 directions (Refined Minimal, Editorial, Swiss, Brutalist, Soft, Technical, Playful) instead of shipping the same generic "modern SaaS" look every time.
|
||||
- **Typography** — concrete typefaces with concrete weights, sizes, leading, and tracking. The hero headline defaults to 60–160px, not the standard 36–48px.
|
||||
- **Color** — one accent color used on less than 10% of pixels. No `linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea, #764ba2)` anywhere.
|
||||
- **Layout** — one container system, one spacing scale, asymmetric splits (5/7, 3/9) instead of identical thirds, structure changes at breakpoints.
|
||||
- **Anti-patterns** — a catalog of 28 specific patterns to reject, with examples and replacements. Not "avoid generic design." *Purple-to-blue gradients are slop. Replace with warm paper + ink + editorial red.*
|
||||
- **Components** — every interactive element has default, hover, focus-visible, active, and disabled states defined. The places amateurs stop and pros begin.
|
||||
- **Motion** — one entrance system, one hover system, one transition pattern. Plus `prefers-reduced-motion` honored.
|
||||
- **Accessibility** — semantics first, keyboard contracts, designed focus, ARIA minimalism, and a 15-minute testing protocol. WCAG 2.2 AA as the floor.
|
||||
- **Performance** — budgets before building: LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, ≤ 4 font files, zero blocking JS. An HTML+CSS page with no JS is the norm.
|
||||
- **Imagery** — the no-stock decision tree: CSS/SVG compositions built from tokens, honest photo direction, one icon set, a real favicon and og:image.
|
||||
- **Content** — concrete headlines ("Ship features 3x faster"), not "Empowering businesses to thrive." Real names, real numbers, real dates.
|
||||
- **A pre-ship checklist** — 70+ items covering typography, color, layout, components, motion, accessibility, edge cases, and a final "would a senior designer ship this?" test.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick start
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimum viable load** (fast, fewer tokens):
|
||||
1. `SKILL.md`
|
||||
2. `aesthetics.md` (pick a direction)
|
||||
3. `checklist.md` (before shipping)
|
||||
|
||||
**Standard load** (recommended):
|
||||
1. `SKILL.md`
|
||||
2. `aesthetics.md`
|
||||
3. `typography.md`
|
||||
4. `color.md`
|
||||
5. `layout.md`
|
||||
6. `checklist.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Deep work** (full quality pass):
|
||||
Load all 18 files. The agent will only pull the deep files when the context demands it.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Who this is for
|
||||
|
||||
- **AI agent builders** who want higher-quality frontend output from their tools.
|
||||
- **Designers** who use AI agents and are tired of fixing the same five slop patterns every time.
|
||||
- **Developers** who don't have a senior designer on hand but want their AI-generated sites to look considered, not generated.
|
||||
- **Founders** shipping fast and trying not to ship ugly.
|
||||
|
||||
It is not for designers who already produce great work — you don't need it. It is for everyone who is downstream of an LLM and wants to upgrade the output.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is not
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not a Figma plugin.** It is a markdown skill for AI agents, not a design tool for humans.
|
||||
- **Not a CSS framework.** It produces no code; it shapes the code the agent writes.
|
||||
- **Not a replacement for taste.** The skill raises the floor. The ceiling is still up to you.
|
||||
- **Not magic.** A skill file is a set of instructions. The agent still has to follow them. If it doesn't, the output is still slop.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Example: a hero, before and after
|
||||
|
||||
**Before** (typical AI output):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[purple-to-blue gradient hero, full-bleed]
|
||||
Welcome to AcmeCloud
|
||||

||||

|
||||
[8 generic logos of companies you've never heard of]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After** (with the skill applied, Editorial direction):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Halftone is a four-person studio working from
|
||||
Lisbon and Stockholm. We make identities, books,
|
||||
and digital interfaces for brands that want to
|
||||
be understood — not just seen.

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Different words. Different structure. Different feel. The second one reads like a real studio. The first one reads like every other SaaS site ever generated.

## Credits
|
||||
|
||||
Built from patterns observed across:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Product design:** Linear, Stripe, Vercel, Arc, Cron, Mercury, Pitch, Height
|
||||
- **Studio work:** Pentagram, &Walsh, DIA Studio, Manual, Working Format, Locomotive, Bureau Mirko Borsche, Studio Dumbar
|
||||
- **Editorial reference:** NYT Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, It's Nice That, Wallpaper*, Apartamento

||||
- **Type design:** Erik Spiekermann, Stefan Sagmeister, Paula Scher, Tibor Kalman, Michael Bierut
|
||||
|
||||
If you recognise the patterns, that's the point. If you don't — read the references, then read the code.

# Even shorter (one paragraph)
|
||||
|
||||
I curated 7,842 lines of markdown to stop AI agents from shipping purple-to-blue gradient heroes. It's a modular skill file for any AI agent that builds websites — 18 files, each independently loadable, covering aesthetics, typography, color, layout, anti-patterns, components, motion, accessibility, performance, imagery, content, and a pre-ship checklist.

1/
|
||||
|
||||
I curated 7,842 lines of markdown to fight AI slop.
|
||||
|
||||
Not a product. Not a framework. A **skill file** for AI agents that build websites.
|
||||
|
||||
Because every AI agent I work with produces the same five patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
Purple-to-blue gradients. Centered hero. Three identical feature cards. "Trusted by 10,000+." Lorem ipsum in disguise.
|
||||
|
||||
That's not design. That's the default output of an LLM. 🧵
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
2/
|
||||
|
||||
The patterns are predictable because they're in every training set ten thousand times.
|
||||
|
||||
`linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)` is the visual shorthand for "an AI made this."
|
||||
|
||||
`border-radius: 9999px` on every button is the structural shorthand for the same thing.
|
||||
|
||||
If your output looks like this, it doesn't matter how good your prompt was. It reads as generated.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
3/
|
||||
|
||||
So I wrote a skill that says "no."
|
||||
|
||||
Not in a hand-wavy way. With **28 specific anti-patterns**, each with an example and a replacement.
|
||||
|
||||
Not "avoid generic design." Instead: *Purple-to-blue gradients are slop. Replace with warm paper + ink + editorial red.*
|
||||
|
||||
Not "use good typography." Instead: *Fraunces + Inter + JetBrains Mono. Hero at 60–160px. Display tracking -0.035em. All-caps tracking +0.14em.*

|
||||
|
||||
5/
|
||||
|
||||
The most important file is `aesthetics.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
It defines 7 directions — Refined Minimal, Editorial, Swiss, Brutalist, Soft, Technical, Playful — and tells the agent to **pick one, commit to it, don't mix them.**
|
||||
|
||||
Because "modern web design" as a single style is itself AI slop. The best sites are opinionated. The skill teaches the agent to be opinionated.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
6/
|
||||
|
||||
It also teaches the agent to **write specific copy.**
|
||||
|
||||
❌ "Empowering businesses to thrive"
|
||||
✅ "Ship features 3x faster"
|
||||
|
||||
❌ "Welcome to [Brand]"
|
||||
✅ "Design that doesn't need explaining."
|
||||
|
||||
❌ "Fast. Simple. Beautiful."
|
||||
✅ "A magazine for readers, not scrollers."
|
||||
|
||||
The cardinal rule: write the way you'd talk to a smart friend, not a marketing department.

Last thing: a pre-ship checklist of 70+ items.
|
||||
|
||||
Not "does it look good?" — that's vibes. Specific questions:
|
||||
|
||||
- Hero headline 60–160px?
|
||||
- One accent color, used <10% of pixels?
|
||||
- No `transition: all`?
|
||||
- Focus-visible defined on every interactive element?
|
||||
- Real names, real numbers, no lorem ipsum?
|
||||
- `prefers-reduced-motion` honored?
|
||||
- Would a senior designer ship this?
|
||||
|
||||
If 6+ answers are "no" — keep iterating.

It's open source. MIT license.

If you build AI agents that touch frontend — Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, custom — this should be in your context window.
|

If you design and use AI as a tool, this is the missing piece between "AI-generated" and "AI-assisted."

If it works for you, ship something good with it. That's the thanks.
|

If it doesn't — open an issue. The skill is meant to evolve with the slop it pushes against.

# Typography — The Design
|
||||
|
||||
> Typography does 80% of the work. Choose faces with care, set them with intention, and never let defaults decide for you.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Two-Typeface Rule
|
||||
|
||||
Pick **one display face** and **one text face**. Two total. Mono can be a third if needed (numbers, code, kickers).
|
||||
|
||||
**Why:** A page with three different typefaces reads as confused. A page with one great family used well reads as designed.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to choose
|
||||
|
||||
**Display face** — used in headlines, hero, section markers, big moments.
|
||||
- Ask: does it have **character**? Would I recognize it on a poster?
|
||||
- Avoid: anything that looks like default system fonts. Roboto, Open Sans, Lato — these are *fine* but not *chosen*.
|
||||
- Test: render the brand name in the display face at 96px. Does it look like a magazine? A poster? An interface? Good. If it looks like a template — pick another.
|
||||
|
||||
**Text face** — used in body, UI, forms, captions.
|
||||
- Ask: is it **legible at 14–16px** for sustained reading?
|
||||
- Ask: does it have a **complete weight range** (400, 500, 600, 700) and a **good italic**?
|
||||
- Avoid: thin weights under 400 for body text. Avoid display serifs as body.
|
||||
|
||||
**Mono face** (optional) — for numbers, code, kickers, metadata.
|
||||
- Must have good tabular figures (numbers align in tables).
|
||||
- Use for: pricing, statistics, code, timestamps, IDs, environment variables.

|
||||
## Scale & Sizes
|
||||
|
||||
**Default modular scale:** 1.250 (Major Third) — comfortable for product UI.
|
||||
**Editorial scale:** 1.333 (Perfect Fourth) or hand-tuned — for content-heavy pages.
|
||||
|
||||
### Suggested scale (px, base 16px, ratio 1.250)
|
||||
|
||||
| Token | Size | Use |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `text-xs` | 12px | Captions, labels, microcopy |
|
||||
| `text-sm` | 14px | UI secondary, table cells, footnotes |
|
||||
| `text-base` | 16px | Body, paragraphs, inputs |
|
||||
| `text-lg` | 20px | Lead paragraphs, large UI |
|
||||
| `text-xl` | 25px | H4, subhead small |
|
||||
| `text-2xl` | 31px | H3, subhead medium |
|
||||
| `text-3xl` | 39px | H2 |
|
||||
| `text-4xl` | 49px | H1, section markers |
|
||||
| `text-5xl` | 61px | Large section H1 |
|
||||
| `text-6xl` | 76px | Page hero (small) |
|
||||
| `text-7xl` | 95px | Page hero (medium) |
|
||||
| `text-8xl` | 119px | Page hero (large) |
|
||||
| `text-9xl` | 149px | Editorial hero, posters |
|
||||
|
||||
### Hero size — choose deliberately
|
||||
|
||||
- **Confident / minimal:** `clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem)` — 40–64px
|
||||
- **Strong:** `clamp(3.5rem, 6vw, 5.5rem)` — 56–88px
|
||||
- **Bold / editorial:** `clamp(4rem, 8vw, 7rem)` — 64–112px
|
||||
- **Magazine / poster:** `clamp(5rem, 10vw, 10rem)` — 80–160px
|
||||
- **Always test:** if hero is set at the default 36–48px, it reads as a template. Push it.
|
||||
|
||||
### CSS clamp formula
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
font-size: clamp(<min>, <fluid>, <max>);
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
font-size: clamp(2.25rem, 5vw + 1rem, 4.5rem);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The fluid value uses `vw` so it scales with viewport, with the `+ rem` offset so it doesn't get tiny on small screens.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Line Height (leading)
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Line height |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Display headlines (set tight) | **1.0 – 1.1** |
|
||||
| Large H1 / H2 (60px+) | 1.05 – 1.15 |
|
||||
| Standard headings (24–40px) | 1.15 – 1.3 |
|
||||
| Lead paragraphs (18–22px) | 1.4 – 1.5 |
|
||||
| Body copy (16–18px) | 1.5 – 1.65 |
|
||||
| Small body / UI secondary (14px) | 1.45 – 1.55 |
|
||||
| Captions / labels (12–13px) | 1.4 – 1.5 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule:** bigger the type → tighter the leading. Smaller the type → looser the leading. UI = around 1.4–1.5.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Letter Spacing (tracking)
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Tracking |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Display headlines (large) | **-0.02em to -0.04em** (negative — pulls letters closer) |
|
||||
| Standard headings | -0.01em to -0.02em |
|
||||
| Body copy | **0** (default) |
|
||||
| All-caps labels / kickers | **+0.05em to +0.12em** (positive — opens up) |
|
||||
| Buttons (often all-caps small) | +0.02em to +0.05em |
|
||||
| Numerical mono data | 0 (let the mono handle alignment) |
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule:** larger display type wants negative tracking. All-caps wants positive tracking. Body copy wants 0.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Weights — Use With Restraint
|
||||
|
||||
A typeface has 4–9 weights. Use **2–3 max** per page. Here is the typical allocation:
|
||||
|
||||
- **400 (Regular)** — body copy, paragraphs, default UI
|
||||
- **500 (Medium)** — buttons, labels, emphasized inline text, captions
|
||||
- **600 (Semibold)** — subheads, H3/H4, important UI
|
||||
- **700 (Bold)** — H1/H2, hero, key moments only
|
||||
|
||||
**Avoid:** 300 (Light) for body. Avoid 800/900 unless it's a display moment — and even then, only if the family is designed for it.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to bold, when to italic
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bold for hierarchy.** Italic for tone, foreign words, citations.
|
||||
- **Italic in body:** titles of works, the *New York Times*, foreign phrases, internal thought.
|
||||
- **Bold in body:** sparingly — for inline emphasis. Don't bold entire sentences; bold the word.
|
||||
- **Display italic:** some serifs have a beautiful italic — use it for editorial pull quotes, byline accents.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Color & Contrast for Type
|
||||
|
||||
- **Primary text:** ink color on surface. Contrast ratio **≥ 7:1** (AAA) where possible. **≥ 4.5:1** (AA) at minimum for body.
|
||||
- **Secondary text:** muted ink. Contrast ratio **≥ 4.5:1** minimum.
|
||||
- **Tertiary / placeholders:** even more muted — acceptable to dip to **3:1** for non-essential.
|
||||
- **Never:** light gray (#999) on white for body. Use #6B6B6B at lightest.
|
||||
- **Headlines:** can dip lower contrast (3.5:1+) for stylistic effect — but never for body.
|
||||
- **Links:** color or underline, not just color (accessibility).
|
||||
- **Focus state:** visible focus ring, 2px offset, accent color.
|
||||
|
||||
See `color.md` for palette construction.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Special Treatments
|
||||
|
||||
### Drop caps
|
||||
- Use only in long-form articles, editorial spreads
|
||||
- 3–4 lines tall, set in display face
|
||||
- Indent the rest of the paragraph
|
||||
|
||||
### Pull quotes
|
||||
- Display face, 1.5–2x body size
|
||||
- Left-aligned, often with rule lines
|
||||
- Sometimes quote marks in a much larger size (decorative)
|
||||
|
||||
### Numerals
|
||||
- Use **tabular figures** (`font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`) for tables, pricing, statistics
|
||||
- Use **lining figures** (default in most fonts) for headlines and prose
|
||||
- Old-style figures (with descenders) are a beautiful editorial choice — use consistently
|
||||
|
||||
### Hyphenation & justification
|
||||
- Left-align body. **Never justify body text** — it creates ugly rivers.
|
||||
- Use `hyphens: auto` sparingly; better to enable it for narrow columns, disable for wide ones
|
||||
- Use `text-wrap: pretty` (modern CSS) when available — improves line breaks
|
||||
|
||||
### All-caps
|
||||
- For kickers, labels, navigation, small UI elements
|
||||
- Always positive tracking (+0.05em+)
|
||||
- Never for body. Never for headlines over 24px (reads as shouting).
|
||||
|
||||
### Underlines
|
||||
- Default browser underlines on links are ugly. Replace with custom underlines:
|
||||
- `text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-thickness: 1px; text-underline-offset: 4px;`
|
||||
- Or use a `border-bottom` on inline elements for more control
|

## Typography Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `font-weight: 700` on every heading regardless of family | Use 600 for headings, 700 only for hero moments |
|
||||
| Letter-spacing `0` on all-caps labels | Add `+0.05em to +0.12em` to all-caps |
|
||||
| Default browser font stack (`-apple-system, sans-serif`) | Choose a face. Even Inter is a choice. |
|
||||
| Two different type families from different schools | Stick to ONE family for display + text |
|
||||
| Body text in a display serif | Use display serif for display only |
|
||||
| Justified text in a narrow column | Left-align, ragged right |
|
||||
| `font-size: 16px` hero headlines | Hero should be 60–160px |
|
||||
| Heading set with `line-height: 1.5` (looks loose) | Tighten to 1.05–1.15 on display |
|
||||
| Letter-spacing `-0.05em` on body text (cramped) | Use -0.02em max for body, more for display |
|
||||
| Inline `style="font-size: ..."` everywhere | Define a scale in tokens, use them |
|
||||
| Mixing px and rem inconsistently | Use rem everywhere (or use a token system) |
|
||||
| Setting font-size on `<p>` manually | Let the base size + scale handle it |
|
||||
| Italic body copy in a font with no italic (auto-faked) | Pick a face with a real italic |

## Loading Fonts
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Self-host** when possible (privacy, performance, no FOUT).
|
||||
2. **Subset** to Latin (or relevant script). Don't load 9 weights of 9 fonts.
|
||||
3. **Preload** the display face used above the fold.
|
||||
4. **Use `font-display: swap`** to avoid invisible text.
|
||||
5. **Variable fonts** when available — one file, full weight range.
|
||||
6. **Fallback metrics** — set `size-adjust`, `ascent-override`, `descent-override` on fallback to minimize layout shift.
