SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Dark-mode landing pages often end up cluttered with neon glows, cursor-follow effects, and animated gradients that undermine a premium feel. This Skill enforces a restraint-first design system with hard rules against decorative excess, so dark UIs rely on luminance stepping, typography, and a single accent color instead of gimmicks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hard Design Rules: Bans neon colors, glows, cursor-follow effects, animated gradient meshes, and decorative glassmorphism, enforcing a minimal palette of near-black surfaces plus one accent. - Validated Linear Design Tokens: Provides production-verified color, typography, spacing, radius, and elevation values extracted from Linear's actual CSS, including Inter Variable with cv01/ss03 OpenType features and the signature 510 emphasis weight. - Motion and Verification Guidance: Defines micro-interaction and page-transition timing budgets, prefers-reduced-motion support, and a post-build checklist covering console errors, interactions, and responsive behavior from 390px to 1200px+. - Use Case: When asked to build a Linear-style portfolio or review landing page, apply the depth model (#08090a through #191a1b surfaces), the type scale, and one signature element per page to produce a quiet, premium result. ## Quick Start Build a premium dark-mode landing page for my portfolio using the Linear-style tokens and restraint-first rules.

Frequently Asked Questions about premium-dark-design

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a Linear-style dark mode landing page?▼

Use luminance-stepped surfaces from #08090a to #191a1b, Inter Variable with cv01 and ss03 OpenType features, and brand indigo #5e6ad2 as the only chromatic accent. Keep borders as semi-transparent white and limit each page to one signature element.

What colors should I use for premium dark UI design?▼

Premium dark UI uses near-black backgrounds (#08090a, #0f1011, #141517, #191a1b) with text hierarchy from #f7f8f8 down to #62666d. Use one accent color such as indigo #5e6ad2 only for CTAs and interactive elements, never decoratively.

What font settings does Linear use for its interface?▼

Linear uses Inter Variable with font-feature-settings 'cv01' and 'ss03', which is non-negotiable for the distinctive look. The signature emphasis weight is 510, maximum weight is 590, and display sizes use negative letter-spacing such as -1.584px at 72px.

Should dark mode designs use shadows for depth?▼

Dark surfaces should create depth through luminance stepping and whisper-thin semi-transparent white borders, not dark shadows. Use rgba(255,255,255,0.05) for subtle borders and rgba(255,255,255,0.08) for standard card and input borders.

When should I avoid cursor-follow and glow effects in web design?▼

Avoid cursor-follow spotlights, magnetic buttons, particle backgrounds, and neon glows when building premium dark interfaces, as they read as decorative noise. Motion should confirm actions in under 200ms for micro-interactions and always respect prefers-reduced-motion.
