What problem does it solve?

Creating consistent, high-impact industrial and brutalist user interfaces for Stacks applications requires manual configuration of strict design rules, custom typography scales, rigid grid systems, and analog degradation effects, which is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency without a standardized guide.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Two Pre-Defined Visual Archetypes: Choose between Swiss Industrial Print (light mode, heavy sans-serif typography, high-contrast red accents) or Tactical Telemetry/CRT Terminal (dark mode, monospace telemetry, scanline effects) for your project, with strict rules to avoid mixing modes.
• Comprehensive Design Specifications: Detailed guidance for macro/micro typography, no-radius rigid layouts, ASCII symbology, color systems, and post-processing effects like halftones and mechanical noise.
• Seamless Stacks Integration: Composes natively with existing Stacks skills including stacks-design-taste, stx, Crosswind, and stacks-ui for end-to-end implementation.
• Use Case: Ideal for building uptime monitoring dashboards, status pages, technical portfolios, or editorial sites that need a raw, functional, high-data-density aesthetic that stands apart from generic consumer UI.

Quick Start

Use the stacks-design-brutalist skill to design a dark-mode tactical telemetry dashboard for your Stacks status page app with rigid 1px grid dividers, monospace metadata rows, and subtle CRT scanline overlay effects.
