SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Frontend code generated by AI often defaults to generic SaaS aesthetics: Inter fonts, heavy drop shadows, gradients, and clichéd copy. This Skill enforces a strict design protocol so generated HTML, React, Tailwind, or Vue output follows a refined editorial, document-style visual language. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Constraint Enforcement: Bans generic fonts, thin-line icon libraries, heavy shadows, gradients, pill-shaped containers, emojis, and AI copywriting clichés. - Concrete Component Specs: Defines exact values for bento grids, buttons, tags, accordions, keystroke UIs, and faux-OS window chrome, including border colors, radii, and padding. - Typography & Color System: Prescribes serif/sans/mono font stacks, warm monochrome backgrounds, and muted pastel accents for semantic highlights. - Use Case: Ask for a landing page or dashboard and receive code with 1px #EAEAEA borders, off-black text, generous whitespace, and subtle scroll-entry animations instead of default-looking output. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to build a landing page or dashboard UI using the minimalist-ui design protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions about minimalist-ui

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate minimalist UI code with AI?▼

Apply a design protocol that constrains fonts, colors, borders, and shadows before generating code. This Skill enforces warm monochrome palettes, editorial serif headings, 1px #EAEAEA borders, and flat components so output avoids generic SaaS styling.

What fonts work best for editorial minimalist web design?▼

Use geometric sans-serifs like Geist Sans or Helvetica Neue for body text, editorial serifs like Newsreader or Playfair Display for hero headings, and Geist Mono or JetBrains Mono for code. Avoid Inter, Roboto, and Open Sans.

Does this design system work with Tailwind CSS?▼

Yes, the protocol explicitly targets Tailwind alongside HTML, React, and Vue. It maps to Tailwind utilities like py-24 spacing, max-w-4xl containers, and custom color variables, while banning default utilities like shadow-lg and rounded-full on large containers.

Which icon libraries fit a minimalist flat design?▼

Use Phosphor Icons in Bold or Fill weights, or Radix UI Icons, for a thicker-stroke technical aesthetic. Thin-line libraries like Lucide, Feather, and standard Heroicons are explicitly excluded by the protocol.

How do I add animations without hurting performance?▼

Animate only transform and opacity properties, using IntersectionObserver for scroll-entry fades with translateY(12px) over 600ms. Avoid layout-triggering properties like top, left, width, and height, and never use scroll event listeners.
