SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Generic AI-generated frontend code tends to look like every other SaaS template: default fonts, heavy 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 aesthetic without manual redesign. ## 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 (sans, editorial serif, monospace), a warm monochrome palette with muted pastel accents, and precise component specs for bento grids, buttons, badges, accordions, and keystroke UIs. - Motion & Imagery Directives: Specifies subtle scroll-entry animations via IntersectionObserver, staggered reveals, ambient gradient layers, and rules for icons, illustrations, and photography. - Use Case: Ask for a landing page or dashboard and receive code with crisp 1px borders, generous whitespace, tight serif headlines, and quiet micro-animations 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 warm monochrome palettes, editorial serif headlines, and crisp 1px borders so output reads as a custom-designed interface.

How to build a bento grid layout with Tailwind CSS?

Use asymmetrical CSS Grid layouts where each card has exactly border: 1px solid #EAEAEA, border-radius of 8px or 12px, and generous internal padding of 24px to 40px. Avoid heavy shadows and keep backgrounds white or warm off-white.

What fonts work for an editorial minimalist website?

Pair a clean sans-serif like Geist Sans or Helvetica Neue for body text with an editorial serif such as Newsreader or Instrument Serif for hero headings at tight tracking. Add a monospace like Geist Mono for code and metadata.

Does this design style work with React and Vue components?

Yes, the protocol applies to HTML, React, Tailwind, and Vue output. The constraints target visual properties like color, typography, borders, and motion, which are framework-agnostic and translate directly into component styles.

Why should scroll animations use IntersectionObserver instead of scroll events?

IntersectionObserver avoids firing callbacks on every scroll frame, reducing main-thread work and preventing jank. Combined with animating only transform and opacity, it keeps scroll-entry fades smooth without triggering layout recalculation.
