SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Generic AI-generated frontend code often defaults to overused SaaS patterns like Inter fonts, heavy drop shadows, gradients, and pill-shaped components. This Skill enforces a disciplined design protocol that produces refined, editorial-style interfaces inspired by tools like Notion and Linear. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Strict Design Constraints: Bans generic fonts (Inter, Roboto), heavy shadows, gradients, emojis, and AI copywriting clichés, enforcing a warm monochrome palette with muted pastel accents. - Component Specifications: Defines exact rules for bento grids, buttons, tags, accordions, keystroke UIs, and faux-OS window chrome with precise border, radius, and spacing values. - Subtle Motion System: Provides scroll-entry animations, staggered reveals, and ambient background motion using transform and opacity only. - Use Case: When building a landing page or dashboard in React, Tailwind, HTML, or Vue, apply this protocol to get a typography-led, high-whitespace layout without manual design adjustments. ## Quick Start Use the minimalist-ui skill to build a clean editorial landing page for my product with a bento feature grid and warm monochrome styling.

Frequently Asked Questions about minimalist-ui

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a minimalist editorial UI with Tailwind CSS?▼

Apply a warm monochrome palette with off-white backgrounds like #F7F6F3, use 1px solid #EAEAEA borders on all cards, and constrain content to max-w-4xl. Pair a serif display font with tight tracking for headings and a geometric sans for body text.

What fonts should I use instead of Inter for minimalist web design?▼

Use SF Pro Display, Geist Sans, Helvetica Neue, or Switzer for body and UI text. For editorial hero headings, use Lyon Text, Newsreader, Playfair Display, or Instrument Serif with letter-spacing between -0.02em and -0.04em.

How do I build a bento grid layout with CSS?▼

Use an asymmetrical CSS Grid where each card has exactly border: 1px solid #EAEAEA, border-radius of 8px or 12px maximum, and generous internal padding of 24px to 40px. Avoid drop shadows and keep surfaces flat.

Can I use this minimalist style with React or Vue projects?▼

Yes, the protocol applies to HTML, React, Tailwind, and Vue code. It defines design tokens, component rules, and animation patterns that translate directly into any component-based frontend framework.

When should I avoid using a minimalist design approach?▼

Avoid it when content is dense and hierarchy could become unclear, or when an established brand system requires saturated colors and distinct visual identity. Always validate scannability, contrast, and navigation clarity with real content.

How do I add subtle scroll animations without hurting performance?▼

Use IntersectionObserver with translateY(12px) and opacity transitions over 600ms with cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1). Animate only transform and opacity properties, never layout-triggering properties like width or top.
