SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Generic AI-generated frontend code tends to look like every other SaaS landing page: default fonts, heavy shadows, gradients, and clichéd copy. This Skill enforces a strict design protocol so generated HTML, React, Tailwind, or Vue interfaces follow a refined editorial, document-style aesthetic. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Constraint Enforcement: Bans generic defaults like Inter/Roboto fonts, Lucide icons, heavy drop shadows, gradients, pill-shaped containers, emojis, and AI copywriting clichés. - Complete Design System: Defines typography hierarchies (serif hero headings, monospace metadata), a warm monochrome palette with muted pastel accents, and precise component specs for bento grids, buttons, tags, accordions, and keystroke UIs. - Subtle Motion Guidelines: Prescribes IntersectionObserver-based scroll reveals, staggered animations, and transform/opacity-only transitions for quiet, performant micro-interactions. - Use Case: Ask for a landing page or dashboard, and receive frontend code with 1px #EAEAEA borders, generous macro-whitespace, off-black text, and editorial serif headlines instead of a generic template look. ## Quick Start Use the minimalist-ui skill to build a landing page for a note-taking app with a bento feature grid and editorial typography.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated UI look less generic?

Apply a strict design protocol that bans default fonts like Inter and Roboto, heavy Tailwind shadows, gradients, and clichéd copy. This Skill enforces editorial serif headlines, warm monochrome palettes, and 1px border components for a document-style aesthetic.

What is a bento grid layout in web design?

A bento grid is an asymmetrical CSS Grid layout of cards with varying sizes, popularized by modern product pages. This Skill specifies bento cards with exactly 1px solid #EAEAEA borders, 8-12px border-radius, and 24-40px internal padding.

Does this design system work with Tailwind CSS?

Yes, the protocol explicitly supports Tailwind alongside HTML, React, and Vue. It references Tailwind utilities like py-24 for macro-whitespace and max-w-4xl for content width, while banning default utilities like shadow-lg and rounded-full on large containers.

Which fonts and icons does the minimalist UI protocol recommend?

It targets SF Pro Display or Geist Sans for body text, Newsreader or Playfair Display for editorial headings, and Geist Mono for code. Icons should come from Phosphor Icons (Bold or Fill) or Radix UI Icons, avoiding Lucide and Feather.

When should I not use a minimalist monochrome design approach?

Avoid it for brands requiring vibrant color expression, playful consumer products, or data-dense dashboards needing strong color coding. The protocol deliberately restricts color to scarce muted pastel accents, which suits editorial and workspace-style products only.
