SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Generic AI-generated frontend code tends to look like default SaaS templates with heavy shadows, gradients, and clichéd typography. This Skill enforces a strict design protocol so generated HTML, React, Tailwind, or Vue code follows a refined editorial aesthetic with warm monochrome colors, typographic contrast, and flat bento-grid layouts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design Constraint Enforcement: Bans generic defaults like Inter/Roboto fonts, heavy drop shadows, gradients, pill-shaped containers, emojis, and AI copywriting clichés. - Component Specifications: Provides exact rules for bento grids, buttons, tags, accordions, keystroke UIs, and faux-OS window chrome with precise color and border values. - Motion Guidelines: Defines subtle scroll-entry animations, hover states, and staggered reveals using transform and opacity only. - Use Case: Ask for a landing page or dashboard and receive code with off-black text on warm bone backgrounds, 1px #EAEAEA borders, muted pastel accents, and editorial serif headings 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 generate minimalist UI code with AI?

Invoke this Skill when requesting frontend code and it applies a strict design protocol covering typography, color, spacing, and components. The output uses warm monochrome palettes, editorial serif headings, and flat bento grids without manual adjustment.

What design elements does this minimalist UI protocol ban?

It bans Inter, Roboto, and Open Sans fonts, heavy Tailwind shadows, gradients, glassmorphism, pill-shaped large containers, emojis, placeholder names like John Doe, and copywriting clichés like Elevate or Seamless.

Does this work with Tailwind CSS and React?

Yes, the protocol explicitly targets HTML, React, Tailwind, and Vue code generation. It references Tailwind utilities like py-24 spacing and max-w-4xl content widths alongside custom CSS variables for colors and fonts.

Which fonts and icons does the minimalist UI style use?

It targets Geist Sans or Helvetica Neue for body text, Newsreader or Playfair Display for editorial headings, and Geist Mono for code. Icons come from Phosphor Icons in bold or fill weights, or Radix UI Icons.

When should I not use this minimalist design protocol?

Avoid it when a project requires vibrant brand colors, playful illustration-heavy marketing pages, or dense data-visualization interfaces. The protocol deliberately restricts color to muted pastel accents and enforces a document-style editorial aesthetic.
