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, Vue, or Tailwind code follows a refined editorial aesthetic with warm monochrome colors, typographic contrast, and flat bento-grid layouts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Strict Negative Constraints: Bans generic fonts (Inter, Roboto), heavy drop shadows, gradients, pill-shaped containers, emojis, and AI copywriting clichés. - Design System Rules: Defines exact color tokens (warm off-whites, muted pastel accents), typography stacks (editorial serifs, monospace), border specs (1px solid #EAEAEA), and component patterns for buttons, tags, accordions, and keystroke UIs. - Motion Guidelines: Specifies subtle scroll-entry animations, staggered reveals, and hover micro-interactions using transform and opacity only. - Use Case: Ask the AI to build a pricing page or product landing page, and receive code that follows a cohesive premium minimalist design system instead of generic defaults. ## Quick Start Use the minimalist-ui skill to build a landing page for a note-taking app with a hero section, bento feature grid, and FAQ accordion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I make AI-generated UI code 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 warm monochrome palettes, editorial serif headings, 1px borders, and flat bento-grid layouts for a distinctive result.

What design system does this minimalist UI protocol use?

It uses a warm monochrome palette (#FFFFFF, #F7F6F3 backgrounds, #EAEAEA borders) with muted pastel accents for tags and badges. Typography pairs editorial serifs like Newsreader with geometric sans-serifs and monospace for code, plus crisp 8-12px border radii.

Can I use this with Tailwind CSS or React?

Yes, the protocol explicitly targets HTML, React, Vue, and Tailwind output. It references Tailwind utilities like py-24 spacing and max-w-4xl containers while overriding default shadows and colors to match the minimalist specification.

Which fonts and icon libraries are banned by this protocol?

Banned fonts include Inter, Roboto, and Open Sans; banned icon sets include Lucide, Feather, and standard Heroicons. Recommended alternatives are Geist Sans, Newsreader, or Playfair Display for type, and Phosphor or Radix UI icons for iconography.

How are animations handled in minimalist UI design?

Animations use only transform and opacity properties: scroll-entry fades via IntersectionObserver, staggered reveals with 80ms delays, and scale(0.98) button presses. Layout-triggering properties and scroll event listeners are prohibited for performance.
