SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI-generated frontend code often defaults to generic SaaS aesthetics with heavy shadows, gradients, and clichéd copy. This Skill enforces a strict design protocol that produces refined, document-style interfaces with consistent typography, color, and motion rules. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Constraint Enforcement: Bans generic fonts (Inter, Roboto), heavy shadows, gradients, pill-shaped containers, emojis, and AI copywriting clichés. - Component Specifications: Defines exact styling for bento grids, CTA buttons, tags, accordions, keystroke UIs, and faux-OS window chrome using a warm monochrome palette with muted pastel accents. - Motion Guidelines: Prescribes subtle scroll-entry animations, staggered reveals, and hover states using transform and opacity only. - Use Case: Ask the AI to build a landing page for a note-taking app, and receive HTML/React/Tailwind code with editorial serif headings, 1px #EAEAEA borders, generous whitespace, and IntersectionObserver-based fade-ins. ## Quick Start Build a landing page for a project management tool 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 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 pill-shaped containers. This Skill enforces editorial serif headings, warm monochrome colors, and 1px #EAEAEA borders for a refined document-style look.

What color palette works for minimalist web design?▼

Use a warm monochrome base: white or bone backgrounds (#F7F6F3), off-black text (#111111 or #2F3437), and ultra-light borders (#EAEAEA). Reserve desaturated pastels like #FDEBEC or #E1F3FE only for tags and subtle accents.

Can I use this design protocol with Tailwind CSS?▼

Yes, the protocol explicitly supports Tailwind alongside HTML, React, and Vue. It maps rules to Tailwind conventions like py-24 section padding, max-w-4xl content width, and text-xs uppercase badges while banning default shadow utilities.

How do I add scroll animations without hurting performance?▼

Use IntersectionObserver with transform and opacity transitions only, such as translateY(12px) fading over 600ms with cubic-bezier easing. Avoid scroll event listeners and layout-triggering properties like top, left, width, or height.

What fonts should I use instead of Inter for editorial design?▼

Use SF Pro Display, Geist Sans, or Helvetica Neue for body text, and Lyon Text, Newsreader, or Instrument Serif for hero headings with tight tracking. Pair with Geist Mono or JetBrains Mono for code and metadata.
