SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the need to manually enforce a consistent, premium editorial minimalist aesthetic for Stacks app user interfaces, which otherwise risk falling into generic, low-quality SaaS design patterns lacking the refined feel of top-tier platforms like Notion and Linear.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Strict Design Guardrails: Automatically blocks generic design defaults including overused fonts (Inter, Roboto), generic thin-line icon libraries, heavy drop shadows, gradients, and emoji use to avoid "slop" UI.
  • Editorial Design System: Enforces a warm monochrome palette, bespoke typographic hierarchy, flat bento grid layouts, and muted pastel accent colors for a content-first, premium feel.
  • Use Case: Ideal for building Stacks app docs sites, internal dashboards, public landing pages, or content surfaces that require a restrained, polished visual identity without manual design oversight.

Quick Start

Use the stacks-design-minimalist skill to design a new Stacks app landing page with an editorial serif hero heading, bento feature grid, and muted pastel status badges.
