Teknium a0a1b86c2e fix: accept reasoning-only responses without retries — set content to "(empty)" (#5278)
* feat: coerce tool call arguments to match JSON Schema types

LLMs frequently return numbers as strings ("42" instead of 42) and
booleans as strings ("true" instead of true). This causes silent
failures with MCP tools and any tool with strictly-typed parameters.

Added coerce_tool_args() in model_tools.py that runs before every tool
dispatch. For each argument, it checks the tool registry schema and
attempts safe coercion:
  - "42" → 42 when schema says "type": "integer"
  - "3.14" → 3.14 when schema says "type": "number"
  - "true"/"false" → True/False when schema says "type": "boolean"
  - Union types tried in order
  - Original values preserved when coercion fails or is not applicable

Inspired by Block/goose tool argument coercion system.

* fix: accept reasoning-only responses without retries — set content to "(empty)"

Previously, when a model returned reasoning/thinking but no visible
content, we entered a 120-line retry/classify/compress/salvage cascade
that wasted 3+ API calls trying to "fix" the response. The model was
done thinking — retrying with the same input just burned money.

Now reasoning-only responses are accepted immediately:
- Reasoning stays in the `reasoning` field (semantically correct)
- Content set to "(empty)" — valid non-empty string every provider accepts
- No retries, no compression triggers, no salvage logic
- Session history contains "(empty)" not "" — prevents #2128 session
  poisoning where empty assistant content caused prefill rejections

Removes ~120 lines, adds ~15. Saves 2-3 API calls per reasoning-only
response. Fixes #2128.

Teknium 20b4060dbf fix: web_extract fast-fail on scrape timeout + summarizer resilience
- Firecrawl scrape: 60s timeout via asyncio.wait_for + to_thread
  (previously could hang indefinitely)
- Summarizer retries: 6 → 2 (one retry), reads timeout from
  auxiliary.web_extract.timeout config (default 360s / 6min)
- Summarizer failure: falls back to truncated raw content (~5000 chars)
  instead of useless error message, with guidance about config/model
- Config default: auxiliary.web_extract.timeout bumped 30 → 360s
  for local model compatibility

Addresses Discord reports of agent hanging during web_extract.

Teknium c100ad874c fix(matrix): E2EE cron delivery via live adapter + HTML formatting + origin fallback
Salvaged from PRs #3767 (chalkers), #5236 (ygd58), #2641 (buntingszn).

Three improvements to Matrix cron delivery:

1. Live adapter path: when the gateway is running, cron delivery now uses
   the connected MatrixAdapter via run_coroutine_threadsafe instead of
   the standalone HTTP PUT. This enables delivery to E2EE rooms where
   the raw HTTP path cannot encrypt. Falls back to standalone on failure.
   Threads adapters + event loop from gateway -> cron ticker -> tick() ->
   _deliver_result(). (from #3767)

2. HTML formatted_body: _send_matrix() now converts markdown to HTML
   using the optional markdown library, with h1-h6 to bold conversion
   for Element X compatibility. Falls back to plain text if markdown
   is not installed. Also adds random bytes to txn_id to prevent
   collisions. (from #5236)

3. Origin fallback: when deliver="origin" but origin is null (jobs
   created via API/scripts), falls back to HOME_CHANNEL env vars
   in order: matrix -> telegram -> discord -> slack. (from #2641)

dlkakbs 36e046e843 fix(gateway): MIME type fallback for Matrix document uploads
Cherry-picked run.py portion from PR #3495 by dlkakbs.
When Matrix sends non-image files (text, YAML, JSON, etc.), the MIME
type may be empty or application/octet-stream. Falls back to
extension-based detection so text files are properly injected into
agent context.

chalkers bec02f3731 fix(matrix): handle encrypted media events and cache decrypted attachments
Cherry-picked from PR #3140 by chalkers, resolved against current main.
Registers RoomEncryptedImage/Audio/Video/File callbacks, decrypts
attachments via nio.crypto, caches all media types (images, audio,
documents), prevents ciphertext URL fallback for encrypted media.
Unifies the separate voice-message download into the main cache block.
Preserves main's MATRIX_REQUIRE_MENTION, auto-thread, and mention
stripping features. Includes 355 lines of encrypted media tests.

binhnt92 b65e67545a fix(gateway): stop Matrix/Mattermost reconnect on permanent auth failures
Cherry-picked from PR #3695 by binhnt92.
Matrix _sync_loop() and Mattermost _ws_loop() were retrying all errors
forever, including permanent auth failures (expired tokens, revoked
access). Now detects M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN, M_FORBIDDEN, 401/403 and stops
instead of spinning. Includes 216 lines of tests.

Cherry-picked from PR #5136 by thakoreh.
setup_gateway() uses shutil.which('uv') at line 2126 but shutil was
never imported at module level, causing NameError during Matrix E2EE
auto-install. Adds top-level import and regression test.

Teknium 51ed7dc2f3 feat: save oversized tool results to file instead of destructive truncation (#5210)
Previously, tool results exceeding 100K characters were silently chopped
with only a '[Truncated]' notice — the rest of the content was lost
permanently. The model had no way to access the truncated portion.

Now, oversized results are written to HERMES_HOME/cache/tool_responses/
and the model receives:
  - A 1,500-char head preview for immediate context
  - The file path so it can use read_file/search_files on the full output

This preserves the context window protection (inline content stays small)
while making the full data recoverable. Falls back to the old destructive
truncation if the file write fails.

Inspired by Block/goose's large response handler pattern.

Teknium 4976a8b066 feat: /model command — models.dev primary database + --provider flag (#5181)
Full overhaul of the model/provider system.

## What changed
- models.dev (109 providers, 4000+ models) as primary database for provider identity AND model metadata
- --provider flag replaces colon syntax for explicit provider switching
- Full ModelInfo/ProviderInfo dataclasses with context, cost, capabilities, modalities
- HermesOverlay system merges models.dev + Hermes-specific transport/auth/aggregator flags
- User-defined endpoints via config.yaml providers: section
- /model (no args) lists authenticated providers with curated model catalog
- Rich metadata display: context window, max output, cost/M tokens, capabilities
- Config migration: custom_providers list → providers dict (v11→v12)
- AIAgent.switch_model() for in-place model swap preserving conversation

Teknium 0c54da8aaf feat(gateway): live-stream /update output + interactive prompt buttons (#5180)
* feat(gateway): live-stream /update output + forward interactive prompts

Adds real-time output streaming and interactive prompt forwarding for
the gateway /update command, so users on Telegram/Discord/etc see the
full update progress and can respond to prompts (stash restore, config
migration) without needing terminal access.

Changes:

hermes_cli/main.py:
- Add --gateway flag to 'hermes update' argparse
- Add _gateway_prompt() file-based IPC function that writes
  .update_prompt.json and polls for .update_response
- Modify _restore_stashed_changes() to accept optional input_fn
  parameter for gateway mode prompt forwarding
- cmd_update() uses _gateway_prompt when --gateway is set, enabling
  interactive stash restore and config migration prompts

gateway/run.py:
- _handle_update_command: spawn with --gateway flag and
  PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 for real-time output flushing
- Store session_key in .update_pending.json for cross-restart
  session matching
- Add _update_prompt_pending dict to track sessions awaiting
  update prompt responses
- Replace _watch_for_update_completion with _watch_update_progress:
  streams output chunks every ~4s, detects .update_prompt.json and
  forwards prompts to the user, handles completion/failure/timeout
- Add update prompt interception in _handle_message: when a prompt
  is pending, the user's next message is written to .update_response
  instead of being processed normally
- Preserve _send_update_notification as legacy fallback for
  post-restart cases where adapter isn't available yet

File-based IPC protocol:
- .update_prompt.json: written by update process with prompt text,
  default value, and unique ID
- .update_response: written by gateway with user's answer
- .update_output.txt: existing, now streamed in real-time
- .update_exit_code: existing completion marker

Tests: 16 new tests covering _gateway_prompt IPC, output streaming,
prompt detection/forwarding, message interception, and cleanup.

* feat: interactive buttons for update prompts (Telegram + Discord)

Telegram: Inline keyboard with ✓ Yes / ✗ No buttons. Clicking a button
answers the callback query, edits the message to show the choice, and
writes .update_response directly. CallbackQueryHandler registered on
the update_prompt: prefix.

Discord: UpdatePromptView (discord.ui.View) with green Yes / red No
buttons. Follows the ExecApprovalView pattern — auth check, embed color
update, disabled-after-click. Writes .update_response on click.

All platforms: /approve and /deny (and /yes, /no) now work as shorthand
for yes/no when an update prompt is pending. The text fallback message
instructs users to use these commands. Raw message interception still
works as a fallback for non-command responses.

Gateway watcher checks adapter for send_update_prompt method (class-level
check to avoid MagicMock false positives) and falls back to text prompt
with /approve instructions when unavailable.

* fix: block /update on non-messaging platforms (API, webhooks, ACP)

Add _UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS frozenset that explicitly lists messaging
platforms where /update is permitted. API server, webhook, and ACP
platforms get a clear error directing them to run hermes update from
the terminal instead.

ACP and API server already don't reach _handle_message (separate
codepaths), and webhooks have distinct session keys that can't collide
with messaging sessions. This guard is belt-and-suspenders.

Teknium 441ec48802 style: use module-level re import instead of local import re as _re 2026-04-05 00:20:53 -07:00
kshitijk4poor 4437354198 Preserve numeric credential labels in auth removal
Resolve exact label matches before treating digit-only input as a positional index so destructive auth removal does not mis-target credentials named with numeric labels.

Constraint: The CLI remove path must keep supporting existing index-based usage while adding safer label targeting
Rejected: Ban numeric labels | labels are free-form and existing users may already rely on them
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: When a destructive command accepts multiple identifier forms, prefer exact identity matches before fallback parsing heuristics
Tested: Focused pytest slice for auth commands, credential pool recovery, and routing (273 passed); py_compile on changed Python files
Not-tested: Full repository pytest suite

kshitijk4poor 65952ac00c Honor provider reset windows in pooled credential failover
Persist structured exhaustion metadata from provider errors, use explicit reset timestamps when available, and expose label-based credential targeting in the auth CLI. This keeps long-lived Codex cooldowns from being misreported as one-hour waits and avoids forcing operators to manage entries by list position alone.

Constraint: Existing credential pool JSON needs to remain backward compatible with stored entries that only record status code and timestamp
Constraint: Runtime recovery must keep the existing retry-then-rotate semantics for 429s while enriching pool state with provider metadata
Rejected: Add a separate credential scheduler subsystem | too large for the Hermes pool architecture and unnecessary for this fix
Rejected: Only change CLI formatting | would leave runtime rotation blind to resets_at and preserve the serial-failure behavior
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve structured rate-limit metadata when new providers expose reset hints; do not collapse back to status-code-only exhaustion tracking
Tested: Focused pytest slice for auth commands, credential pool recovery, and routing (272 passed); py_compile on changed Python files; hermes -w auth list/remove smoke test with temporary HERMES_HOME
Not-tested: Full repository pytest suite, broader gateway/integration flows outside the touched auth and pool paths

Teknium 5b003ca4a0 test(redact): add regression tests for lowercase variable redaction (#4367) (#5185)
Add 5 regression tests from PR #4476 (gnanam1990) to prevent re-introducing
the IGNORECASE bug that caused lowercase Python/TypeScript variable assignments
to be incorrectly redacted as secrets. The core fix landed in 6367e1c4.

Tests cover:
- Lowercase Python variable with 'token' in name
- Lowercase Python variable with 'api_key' in name
- TypeScript 'await' not treated as secret value
- TypeScript 'secret' variable assignment
- 'export' prefix preserved for uppercase env vars

Teknium 85cefc7a5a fix(telegram): prevent duplicate message delivery on send timeout (#5153)
TimedOut is a subclass of NetworkError in python-telegram-bot. The
inner retry loop in send() and the outer _send_with_retry() in base.py
both treated it as a transient connection error and retried — but
send_message is not idempotent. When the request reaches Telegram but
the HTTP response times out, the message is already delivered. Retrying
sends duplicates. Worst case: up to 9 copies (inner 3x × outer 3x).

Inner loop (telegram.py):
- Import TimedOut separately, isinstance-check before generic
  NetworkError retry (same pattern as BadRequest carve-out from #3390)
- Re-raise immediately — no retry
- Mark as retryable=False in outer exception handler

Outer loop (base.py):
- Remove 'timeout', 'timed out', 'readtimeout', 'writetimeout' from
  _RETRYABLE_ERROR_PATTERNS (read/write timeouts are delivery-ambiguous)
- Add 'connecttimeout' (safe — connection never established)
- Keep 'network' (other platforms still need it)
- Add _is_timeout_error() + early return to prevent plain-text fallback
  on timeout errors (would also cause duplicate delivery)

Connection errors (ConnectionReset, ConnectError, etc.) are still
retried — these fail before the request reaches the server.

bug and proposing fixes.

Teknium c8220e69a1 fix: strip MEDIA: directives from streamed gateway messages (#5152)
When streaming is enabled, the GatewayStreamConsumer sends raw text
chunks directly to the platform without post-processing. This causes
MEDIA:/path/to/file tags and [[audio_as_voice]] directives to appear
as visible text in the user's chat instead of being stripped.

The non-streaming path already handles this correctly via
extract_media() in base.py, but the streaming path was missing
equivalent cleanup.

Add _clean_for_display() to GatewayStreamConsumer that strips MEDIA:
tags and internal markers before any text reaches the platform. The
actual media file delivery is unaffected — _deliver_media_from_response()
in gateway/run.py still extracts files from the agent's final_response
(separate from the stream consumer's display text).

memosr 931624feda fix(security): guard cron script against path traversal and redact output
Relative script paths resolved against HERMES_HOME/scripts/ were not
validated to stay within that directory. Paths like '../../etc/passwd'
could escape and be executed as Python.

Fix: resolve the path and verify it stays within scripts_dir using
Path.relative_to(). Also apply redact_sensitive_text() to script stdout
before LLM injection — same pattern as execute_code sandbox output.

Cherry-picked from PR #5093 by memosr (fixes 1 and 3; absolute path
restriction dropped as too restrictive for the feature's design intent).

Teknium aa475aef31 feat: add exit code context for common CLI tools in terminal results (#5144)
When commands like grep, diff, test, or find return non-zero exit codes
that aren't actual errors (grep 1 = no matches, diff 1 = files differ),
the model wastes turns investigating non-problems. This adds an
exit_code_meaning field to the terminal JSON result that explains
informational exit codes, so the agent can move on instead of debugging.

Covers grep/rg/ag/ack (no matches), diff (files differ), find (partial
access), test/[ (condition false), curl (timeouts, DNS, HTTP errors),
and git (context-dependent). Correctly extracts the last command from
pipelines and chains, strips full paths and env var assignments.

The exit_code field itself is unchanged — this is purely additive context.

prompt, breaking the prompt cache prefix every turn when content
changed (typical for memory plugins). Now all plugin context goes
into the current turn's user message — the system prompt stays
identical across turns, preserving cached tokens.

The system prompt is reserved for Hermes internals. Plugins
contribute context alongside the user's input.

Also adds comprehensive documentation for all 6 plugin hooks:
pre_tool_call, post_tool_call, pre_llm_call, post_llm_call,
on_session_start, on_session_end — each with full callback
signatures, parameter tables, firing conditions, and examples.

Supersedes #5138 which identified the same cache-busting bug
and proposed an uncached system suffix approach. This fix goes
further by removing system prompt injection entirely.

Teknium 96e96a79ad fix: --yolo and other flags silently dropped when placed before 'chat' subcommand (#5145)
When --yolo, -w, -s, -r, -c, and --pass-session-id exist on both the parent
parser and the 'chat' subparser with explicit defaults (default=False or
default=None), argparse's subparser initialization overwrites the parent's
parsed value. So 'hermes --yolo chat' silently drops --yolo, making it appear
broken.

Fix: use default=argparse.SUPPRESS on all duplicated arguments in the chat
subparser. SUPPRESS means 'don't set this attribute if the user didn't
explicitly provide it', so the parent parser's value survives through.

Affected flags: --yolo, --worktree/-w, --skills/-s, --pass-session-id,
--resume/-r, --continue/-c.

Adds 15 regression tests covering flag-before-subcommand, flag-after-subcommand,
no-subcommand, and env var propagation scenarios.

Teknium 55bbf8caba fix: include approval metadata in terminal tool results (#5141)
When a dangerous command is approved (gateway, CLI, or smart approval),
the terminal tool now includes an 'approval' field in the result JSON
so the model knows approval was requested and granted. Previously the
model only saw normal command output with no indication that approval
happened, causing it to hallucinate that the approval system didn't fire.

Changes:
- approval.py: Return user_approved/description in all 3 approval paths
  (gateway blocking, CLI interactive, smart approval)
- terminal_tool.py: Capture approval metadata and inject into both
  foreground and background command results

Teknium 569e9f9670 feat: execute_code runs on remote terminal backends (#5088)
* feat: execute_code runs on remote terminal backends (Docker/SSH/Modal/Daytona/Singularity)

When TERMINAL_ENV is not 'local', execute_code now ships the script to
the remote environment and runs it there via the terminal backend --
the same container/sandbox/SSH session used by terminal() and file tools.

Architecture:
- Local backend: unchanged (UDS RPC, subprocess.Popen)
- Remote backends: file-based RPC via execute_oneshot() polling
  - Script writes request files, parent polls and dispatches tool calls
  - Responses written atomically (tmp + rename) via base64/stdin
  - execute_oneshot() bypasses persistent shell lock for concurrency

Changes:
- tools/environments/base.py: add execute_oneshot() (delegates to execute())
- tools/environments/persistent_shell.py: override execute_oneshot() to
  bypass _shell_lock via _execute_oneshot(), enabling concurrent polling
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: add file-based transport to
  generate_hermes_tools_module(), _execute_remote() with full env
  get-or-create, file shipping, RPC poll loop, output post-processing

* fix: use _get_env_config() instead of raw TERMINAL_ENV env var

Read terminal backend type through the canonical config resolution
path (terminal_tool._get_env_config) instead of os.getenv directly.

* fix: use echo piping instead of stdin_data for base64 writes

Modal doesn't reliably deliver stdin_data to chained commands
(base64 -d > file && mv), producing 0-byte files. Switch to
echo 'base64' | base64 -d which works on all backends.

Verified E2E on both Docker and Modal.

Teknium 93aa01c71c fix: use main provider model for auxiliary tasks on non-aggregator providers (#5091)
Users on direct API-key providers (Alibaba, DeepSeek, ZAI, etc.) without
an OpenRouter or Nous key would get broken auxiliary tasks (compression,
vision, etc.) because _resolve_auto() only tried aggregator providers
first, then fell back to iterating PROVIDER_REGISTRY with wrong default
model names.

Now _resolve_auto() checks the user's main provider first. If it's not
an aggregator (OpenRouter/Nous), it uses their main model directly for
all auxiliary tasks. Aggregator users still get the cheap gemini-flash
model as before.

Adds _read_main_provider() to read model.provider from config.yaml,
mirroring the existing _read_main_model().

google/gemini-3-flash-preview being sent to DashScope.

Teknium 5d0f55cac4 feat(cron): add script field for pre-run data collection (#5082)
Add an optional 'script' parameter to cron jobs that references a Python
script. The script runs before each agent turn, and its stdout is injected
into the prompt as context. This enables stateful monitoring — the script
handles data collection and change detection, the LLM analyzes and reports.

- cron/jobs.py: add script field to create_job(), stored in job dict
- cron/scheduler.py: add _run_job_script() executor with timeout handling,
  inject script output/errors into _build_job_prompt()
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: add script to tool schema, create/update handlers,
  _format_job display
- hermes_cli/cron.py: add --script to create/edit, display in list/edit output
- hermes_cli/main.py: add --script argparse for cron create/edit subcommands
- tests/cron/test_cron_script.py: 20 tests covering job CRUD, script
  execution, path resolution, error handling, prompt injection, tool API

Script paths can be absolute or relative (resolved against ~/.hermes/scripts/).
Scripts run with a 120s timeout. Failures are injected as error context so
the LLM can report the problem. Empty string clears an attached script.

LucidPaths 6367e1c4c0 fix: remove stale test skips, fix regex backtracking, file search bug, and test flakiness
Bug fixes:
- agent/redact.py: catastrophic regex backtracking in _ENV_ASSIGN_RE — removed
  re.IGNORECASE and changed [A-Z_]* to [A-Z0-9_]* to restrict matching to actual
  env var name chars. Without this, the pattern backtracks exponentially on large
  strings (e.g. 100K tool output), causing test_file_read_guards to time out.
- tools/file_operations.py: over-escaped newline in find -printf format string
  produced literal backslash-n instead of a real newline, breaking file search
  result parsing (total_count always 1, paths concatenated).

Test fixes:
- Remove stale pytestmark.skip from 4 test modules that were blanket-skipped as
  'Hangs in non-interactive environments' but actually run fine:
  - test_413_compression.py (12 tests, 25s)
  - test_file_tools_live.py (71 tests, 24s)
  - test_code_execution.py (61 tests, 99s)
  - test_agent_loop_tool_calling.py (has proper OPENROUTER_API_KEY skip already)
- test_413_compression.py: fix threshold values in 2 preflight compression tests
  where context_length was too small for the compressed output to fit in one pass.
- test_mcp_probe.py: add missing _MCP_AVAILABLE mock so tests work without MCP SDK.
- test_mcp_tool_issue_948.py: inject MCP symbols (StdioServerParameters etc.) when
  SDK is not installed so patch() targets exist.
- test_approve_deny_commands.py: replace time.sleep(0.3) with deterministic polling
  of _gateway_queues — fixes race condition where resolve fires before threads
  register their approval entries, causing the test to hang indefinitely.

Net effect: +256 tests recovered from skip, 8 real failures fixed.

Teknium 43d3efd5c8 feat: add docker_env config for explicit container environment variables (#4738)
Add docker_env option to terminal config — a dict of key-value pairs that
get set inside Docker containers via -e flags at both container creation
(docker run) and per-command execution (docker exec) time.

This complements docker_forward_env (which reads values dynamically from
the host process environment). docker_env is useful when Hermes runs as a
systemd service without access to the user's shell environment — e.g.
setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK or GNUPGHOME to known stable paths for SSH/GPG
agent socket forwarding.

Precedence: docker_env provides baseline values; docker_forward_env
overrides for the same key.

Config example:
  terminal:
    docker_env:
      SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /run/user/1000/ssh-agent.sock
      GNUPGHOME: /root/.gnupg
    docker_volumes:
      - /run/user/1000/ssh-agent.sock:/run/user/1000/ssh-agent.sock
      - /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent:/root/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent

Stefan Vandermeulen a70ee1b898 fix: sync OAuth tokens between credential pool and credentials file
OAuth refresh tokens are single-use. When multiple consumers share the
same Anthropic OAuth session (credential pool entries, Claude Code CLI,
multiple Hermes profiles), whichever refreshes first invalidates the
refresh token for all others. This causes a cascade:

1. Pool entry tries to refresh with a consumed refresh token → 400
2. Pool marks the credential as "exhausted" with a 24-hour cooldown
3. All subsequent heartbeats skip the credential entirely
4. The fallback to resolve_anthropic_token() only works while the
   access token in ~/.claude/.credentials.json hasn't expired
5. Once it expires, nothing can auto-recover without manual re-login

Fix:
- Add _sync_anthropic_entry_from_credentials_file() to detect when
  ~/.claude/.credentials.json has a newer refresh token and sync it
  into the pool entry, clearing exhaustion status
- After a successful pool refresh, write the new tokens back to
  ~/.claude/.credentials.json so other consumers stay in sync
- On refresh failure, check if the credentials file has a different
  (newer) refresh token and retry once before marking exhausted
- In _available_entries(), sync exhausted claude_code entries from
  the credentials file before applying the 24-hour cooldown, so a
  manual re-login or external refresh immediately unblocks agents

Teknium b93fa234df fix: clear ghost status-bar lines on terminal resize (#4960)
* feat: add /branch (/fork) command for session branching

Inspired by Claude Code's /branch command. Creates a copy of the current
session's conversation history in a new session, allowing the user to
explore a different approach without losing the original.

Works like 'git checkout -b' for conversations:
- /branch            — auto-generates a title from the parent session
- /branch my-idea    — uses a custom title
- /fork              — alias for /branch

Implementation:
- CLI: _handle_branch_command() in cli.py
- Gateway: _handle_branch_command() in gateway/run.py
- CommandDef with 'fork' alias in commands.py
- Uses existing parent_session_id field in session DB
- Uses get_next_title_in_lineage() for auto-numbered branches
- 14 tests covering session creation, history copy, parent links,
  title generation, edge cases, and agent sync

* fix: clear ghost status-bar lines on terminal resize

When the terminal shrinks (e.g. un-maximize), the emulator reflows
previously full-width rows (status bar, input rules) into multiple
narrower rows. prompt_toolkit's _on_resize only cursor_up()s by the
stored layout height, missing the extra rows from reflow — leaving
ghost duplicates of the status bar visible.

Fix: monkey-patch Application._on_resize to detect width shrinks,
calculate the extra rows created by reflow, and inflate the renderer's
cursor_pos.y so the erase moves up far enough to clear ghosts.

acsezen 831067c5d3 perf: fix O(n²) catastrophic backtracking in redact regex + reorder file read guard
Two pre-existing issues causing test_file_read_guards timeouts on CI:

1. agent/redact.py: _ENV_ASSIGN_RE used unbounded [A-Z_]* with
   IGNORECASE, matching any letter/underscore to end-of-string at
   each position → O(n²) backtracking on 100K+ char inputs.
   Bounded to {0,50} since env var names are never that long.

2. tools/file_tools.py: redact_sensitive_text() ran BEFORE the
   character-count guard, so oversized content (that would be rejected
   anyway) went through the expensive regex first. Reordered to check
   size limit before redaction.

Teknium 5a98ce5973 fix: use clean user message for all memory provider operations (#4940)
When a skill is active, user_message contains the full SKILL.md content
injected by the skill system. This bloated string was being passed to
memory provider sync_all(), queue_prefetch_all(), and prefetch_all(),
causing providers with query size limits (e.g. Honcho's 10K char limit)
to fail.

Both call sites now use original_user_message (the clean user input,
already defined at line 6516) instead of the skill-inflated user_message:

- Post-turn sync (line ~8672): sync_all() + queue_prefetch_all()

When mem0.json exists but is missing the api_key (e.g. after running

MEM0_API_KEY is set in .env.  This happens because _load_config()
returns the JSON file contents verbatim, never falling back to env vars.

Use env vars as the base config and let mem0.json override individual
keys on top, so both config sources work together.

Teknium fb68c22340 fix(gateway): bypass active-session guard for /approve and /deny commands (#4926)
The base adapter's active-session guard queues all messages when an agent
is running. This creates a deadlock for /approve and /deny: the agent
thread is blocked on threading.Event.wait() in tools/approval.py waiting
for resolve_gateway_approval(), but the /approve command is queued waiting
for the agent to finish.

Dispatch /approve and /deny directly to the message handler (which routes
to gateway/run.py's _handle_approve_command) without going through
_process_message_background — avoids spawning a competing background task
that would mess with session lifecycle/guards.

Teknium cee761ee4a fix: prevent duplicate messages — gateway dedup + partial stream guard (#4878)
* fix(gateway): add message deduplication to Discord and Slack adapters (#4777)

Discord RESUME replays events after reconnects (~7/day observed),
and Slack Socket Mode can redeliver events if the ack was lost.
Neither adapter tracked which messages were already processed,
causing duplicate bot responses.

Add _seen_messages dedup cache (message ID → timestamp) with 5-min
TTL and 2000-entry cap to both adapters, matching the pattern already
used by Mattermost, Matrix, WeCom, Feishu, DingTalk, and Email.

The check goes at the very top of the message handler, before any
other logic, so replayed events are silently dropped.

* fix: prevent duplicate messages on partial stream delivery

When streaming fails after tokens are already delivered to the platform,
_interruptible_streaming_api_call re-raised the error into the outer
retry loop, which would make a new API call — creating a duplicate
message.

Now checks deltas_were_sent before re-raising: if partial content was
already streamed, returns a stub response instead. The outer loop treats
the turn as complete (no retry, no fallback, no duplicate).

Inspired by PR #4871 (@trevorgordon981) which identified the bug.
This implementation avoids monkey-patching exception objects and keeps
the fix within the streaming call boundary.

Teknium 36aace34aa fix(opencode-go): strip trailing /v1 from base URL for Anthropic models (#4918)
The Anthropic SDK appends /v1/messages to the base_url, so OpenCode's
base URL https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1 produced a double /v1 path
(https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/v1/messages), causing 404s for MiniMax
models. Strip trailing /v1 when api_mode is anthropic_messages.

Also adds MiMo-V2-Pro, MiMo-V2-Omni, and MiniMax-M2.5 to the OpenCode
Go model lists per their updated docs.

Dolf 1cae9ac628 feat(telegram): add group_topics skill binding for supergroup forum topics
Reads config.extra['group_topics'] to bind skills to specific thread_ids
in supergroup/forum chats. Mirrors the dm_topics skill injection pattern
but for group chat_type. Enables per-topic skill auto-loading in Falcon HQ.

Config format:
  platforms.telegram.extra.group_topics:
    - chat_id: -1003853746818
      topics:
        - name: FalconConnect

Teknium 92dcdbff66 fix: clarify interrupt re-queue label, document busy_input_mode behaviour
The '📨 Queued:' label was misleading — it looked like the message was
silently deferred when it was actually being sent immediately after the
interrupt. Changed to ' Sending after interrupt:' with multi-message
count when the user typed several messages during agent execution.

Added comment documenting that this code path only applies when
busy_input_mode == 'interrupt' (the default).

Teknium 3f2180037c fix: also filter session_meta in /session switch restore path
The original PR missed the third CLI restore path — the /session switch

kagura-agent 6bf5946bbe fix: filter transcript-only roles from chat-completions payload (#4715)
Add a provider-agnostic role allowlist guard to _sanitize_api_messages()
that drops messages with roles not accepted by the chat-completions API
(e.g. session_meta). This prevents CLI resume/session restore from
leaking transcript-only metadata into the outgoing messages payload.

Two layers of defense:

1. API-boundary guard: _sanitize_api_messages() now filters messages by
   role allowlist (system/user/assistant/tool/function/developer) before
   the existing orphaned tool-call repair logic. This protects all
   current and future call paths.

2. CLI restore defense-in-depth: Both session restore paths in cli.py
   now strip session_meta entries before loading history into
   conversation_history, matching the existing gateway behavior.

Closes #4715

Hermes Agent bef895b371 fix(memory): preserve holographic prompt and trust score rendering 2026-04-03 14:22:22 -07:00
Teknium 84a875ca02 fix: scope gateway stop/restart to current profile, --all for global kill
gateway stop and restart previously called kill_gateway_processes() which
scans ps aux and kills ALL gateway processes across all profiles. Starting
a profile gateway would nuke the main one (and vice versa).

Now:
- hermes gateway stop → only kills the current profile's gateway (PID file)
- hermes -p work gateway stop → only kills the 'work' profile's gateway
- hermes gateway stop --all → kills every gateway process (old behavior)
- hermes gateway restart → profile-scoped for manual fallback path
- hermes update → discovers and restarts ALL profile gateways (systemctl
  list-units hermes-gateway*) since the code update is shared

Added stop_profile_gateway() which uses the HERMES_HOME-scoped PID file
instead of global process scanning.

Teknium 52ddd6bc64 refactor(skills): consolidate code verification skills into one (#4854)
* chore: release v0.7.0 (2026.4.3)

168 merged PRs, 223 commits, 46 resolved issues, 40+ contributors.

Highlights: pluggable memory providers, credential pools, Camofox browser,
inline diff previews, API server session continuity, ACP MCP registration,
gateway hardening, secret exfiltration blocking.

* refactor(skills): consolidate code-review + verify-code-changes into requesting-code-review

Merge the passive code-review checklist and the automated verification
pipeline (from PR #4459 by @MorAlekss) into a single requesting-code-review
skill. This eliminates model confusion between three overlapping skills.

Now includes:
- Static security scan (grep on diff lines)
- Baseline-aware quality gates (only flag NEW failures)
- Multi-language tool detection (Python, Node, Rust, Go)
- Independent reviewer subagent with fail-closed JSON verdict
- Auto-fix loop with separate fixer agent (max 2 attempts)
- Git checkpoint and [verified] commit convention

CK iRonin.IT de5aacddd2 fix: normalise \r\n and \r line endings in pasted text
Windows (CRLF) and old Mac (CR) line endings are normalised to LF
before the 5-line collapse threshold is checked in handle_paste.

Without this, markdown copied from Windows sources contains \r\n but
the line counter (pasted_text.count('\n')) still works — however
buf.insert_text() leaves bare \r characters in the buffer which some
terminals render by moving the cursor to the start of the line,
making multi-line pastes appear as a single overwritten line.

Teknium b1756084a3 feat: add .zip document support and auto-mount cache dirs into remote backends (#4846)
- Add .zip to SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES so gateway platforms (Telegram,
  Slack, Discord) cache uploaded zip files instead of rejecting them.
- Add get_cache_directory_mounts() and iter_cache_files() to
  credential_files.py for host-side cache directory passthrough
  (documents, images, audio, screenshots).
- Docker: bind-mount cache dirs read-only alongside credentials/skills.
  Changes are live (bind mount semantics).
- Modal: mount cache files at sandbox creation + resync before each
  command via _sync_files() with mtime+size change detection.
- Handles backward-compat with legacy dir names (document_cache,
  image_cache, audio_cache, browser_screenshots) via get_hermes_dir().
- Container paths always use the new cache/<subdir> layout regardless
  of host layout.

This replaces the need for a dedicated extract_archive tool (PR #4819)
— the agent can now use standard terminal commands (unzip, tar) on
uploaded files inside remote containers.

Teknium 8a384628a5 fix(memory): profile-scoped memory isolation and clone support (#4845)
Three fixes for memory+profile isolation bugs:

1. memory_tool.py: Replace module-level MEMORY_DIR constant with
   get_memory_dir() function that calls get_hermes_home() dynamically.
   The old constant was cached at import time and could go stale if
   HERMES_HOME changed after import. Internal MemoryStore methods now
   call get_memory_dir() directly. MEMORY_DIR kept as backward-compat
   alias.

2. profiles.py: profile create --clone now copies MEMORY.md and USER.md
   from the source profile. These curated memory files are part of the
   agent's identity (same as SOUL.md) and should carry over on clone.

3. holographic plugin: initialize() now expands $HERMES_HOME and
   ${HERMES_HOME} in the db_path config value, so users can write
   'db_path: $HERMES_HOME/memory_store.db' and it resolves to the
   active profile directory, not the default home.

Tests updated to mock get_memory_dir() alongside the legacy MEMORY_DIR.

Teknium e492420df4 fix: route memory provider tools in sequential execution path (#4803)
Memory provider tools (hindsight_retain, honcho_search, etc.) were
advertised to the model via tool schemas but failed with 'Unknown tool'
at execution time. The concurrent path (_invoke_tool) correctly checks
self._memory_manager.has_tool() before falling through to the registry,
but the sequential path (_execute_tool_calls_sequential) was never
updated with this check. Since sequential is the default for single
tool calls, memory provider tools always hit the registry dispatcher
which returns 'Unknown tool' because they're not registered there.

Add the memory_manager dispatch check between the delegate_task handler
and the quiet_mode fallthrough in the sequential path, with proper
spinner/display handling to match the existing pattern.

Reported by KiBenderOP — all memory providers affected (Honcho,
Hindsight, Holographic, etc.).

Teknium 67e3620c5c fix: persist API server sessions to shared SessionDB (state.db) (#4802)
The API server adapter created AIAgent instances without passing
session_db, so conversations via Open WebUI and other OpenAI-compatible
frontends were never persisted to state.db. This meant 'hermes sessions
list' showed no API server sessions — they were effectively stateless.

Changes:
- Add _ensure_session_db() helper for lazy SessionDB initialization
- Pass session_db=self._ensure_session_db() in _create_agent()
- Refactor existing X-Hermes-Session-Id handler to use the shared helper

Sessions now persist with source='api_server' and are visible alongside
CLI and gateway sessions in hermes sessions list/search.

Teknium aecbf7fa4a fix(discord): register /approve and /deny slash commands, wire up button-based approval UI (#4800)
Two fixes for Discord exec approval:

1. Register /approve and /deny as native Discord slash commands so they
   appear in Discord's command picker (autocomplete). Previously they
   were only handled as text commands, so users saw 'no commands found'
   when typing /approve.

2. Wire up the existing ExecApprovalView button UI (was dead code):
   - ExecApprovalView now calls resolve_gateway_approval() to actually
     unblock the waiting agent thread when a button is clicked
   - Gateway's _approval_notify_sync() detects adapters with
     send_exec_approval() and routes through the button UI
   - Added 'Allow Session' button for parity with /approve session
   - send_exec_approval() now accepts session_key and metadata for
     thread support
   - Graceful fallback to text-based /approve prompt if button send fails

Also updates test mocks to include grey/secondary ButtonStyle and
purple Color (used by new button styles).

Teknium 5db630aae4 fix: respect per-platform disabled skills in Telegram menu and gateway dispatch (#4799)
Three interconnected bugs caused `hermes skills config` per-platform
settings to be silently ignored:

1. telegram_menu_commands() never filtered disabled skills — all skills
   consumed menu slots regardless of platform config, hitting Telegram's
   100 command cap. Now loads disabled skills for 'telegram' and excludes
   them from the menu.

2. Gateway skill dispatch executed disabled skills because
   get_skill_commands() (process-global cache) only filters by the global
   disabled list at scan time. Added per-platform check before execution,
   returning an actionable 'skill is disabled' message.

3. get_disabled_skill_names() only checked HERMES_PLATFORM env var, but
   the gateway sets HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM instead. Added
   HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM as fallback, plus an explicit platform=
   parameter for callers that know their platform (menu builder, gateway
   dispatch). Also added platform to prompt_builder's skills cache key
   so multi-platform gateways get correct per-platform skill prompts.

Teknium b6f9b70afd fix(gateway): route /approve and /deny through running-agent guard (#4798)
When the agent is blocked on a dangerous command approval (threading.Event
wait inside tools/approval.py), incoming /approve and /deny commands were
falling through to the generic interrupt path instead of being dispatched
to their command handlers. The interrupt sets _interrupt_requested on the
agent, but the agent thread is blocked on event.wait() — not checking the
flag. Result: approval times out after 300s (5 minutes) before executing.

Fix: intercept /approve and /deny in the running-agent early-intercept
block (alongside /stop, /new, /queue) and route directly to
_handle_approve_command / _handle_deny_command.

Teknium cc54818d26 fix(mcp): stability fix pack — reload timeout, shutdown cleanup, event loop handler, OAuth non-blocking (#4757)
Four fixes for MCP server stability issues reported by community member
(terminal lockup, zombie processes, escape sequence pollution, startup hang):

1. MCP reload timeout guard (cli.py): _check_config_mcp_changes now runs
   _reload_mcp in a separate daemon thread with a 30s hard timeout. Previously,
   a hung MCP server could block the process_loop thread indefinitely, freezing
   the entire TUI (user can type but nothing happens, only Ctrl+D/Ctrl+\ work).

2. MCP stdio subprocess PID tracking (mcp_tool.py): Tracks child PIDs spawned
   by stdio_client via before/after snapshots of /proc children. On shutdown,
   _stop_mcp_loop force-kills any tracked PIDs that survived the SDK's graceful
   SIGTERM→SIGKILL cleanup. Prevents zombie MCP server processes from
   accumulating across sessions.

3. MCP event loop exception handler (mcp_tool.py): Installs
   _mcp_loop_exception_handler on the MCP background event loop — same pattern
   as the existing _suppress_closed_loop_errors on prompt_toolkit's loop.
   Suppresses benign 'Event loop is closed' RuntimeError from httpx transport
   __del__ during MCP shutdown. Salvaged from PR #2538 (acsezen).

4. MCP OAuth non-blocking (mcp_oauth.py): Replaces blocking input() call in
   _wait_for_callback with OAuthNonInteractiveError raise. Adds _is_interactive()
   TTY detection. In non-interactive environments, build_oauth_auth() still
   returns a provider (cached tokens + refresh work), but the callback handler
   raises immediately instead of blocking the MCP event loop for 120s. Re-raises
   OAuth setup failures in _run_http so failed servers are reported cleanly
   without blocking others. Salvaged from PRs #4521 (voidborne-d) and #4465
   (heathley).

Teknium f374ae4c61 fix: prevent compression death spiral from API disconnects (#2153) (#4750)
Three fixes for long-running gateway sessions that enter a death spiral
when API disconnects prevent token data collection, which prevents
compression, which causes more disconnects:

Layer 1 — Stale token counter fallback (run_agent.py in-loop):
When last_prompt_tokens is 0 (stale after API disconnect or provider
returned no usage data), fall back to estimate_messages_tokens_rough()
instead of passing 0 to should_compress(), which would never fire.

Layer 2 — Server disconnect heuristic (run_agent.py error handler):
When ReadError/RemoteProtocolError hits a large session (>60% context
or >200 messages), treat it as a context-length error and trigger
compression rather than burning through retries that all fail the
same way.

Layer 3 — Hard message count limit (gateway/run.py hygiene):
Force compression when a session exceeds 400 messages, regardless of
token estimates. This catches runaway growth even when all token-based
checks fail due to missing API data.

Based on the analysis from PR #2157 by ygd58 — the gateway threshold
direction fix (1.4x multiplier) was already resolved on main.

Teknium 8fd9fafc84 fix: handle Anthropic Sonnet long-context tier 429 by reducing to 200k (#4747)
Anthropic returns HTTP 429 'Extra usage is required for long context
requests' when a Claude Max subscription doesn't include the 1M context
tier. This is NOT a transient rate limit — retrying won't help.

Only applies to Sonnet models (Opus 1M is general access). Detects
this specific error before the generic rate-limit handler and:
1. Reduces context_length from 1M to 200k (the standard tier)
2. Triggers context compression to fit
3. Retries with the reduced context

The reduction is session-scoped (not persisted) so it auto-recovers
if the user later enables extra usage on their subscription.

Teknium 0109547fa2 fix(update): handle conflicted git index during hermes update (#4735)
* fix(gateway): race condition, photo media loss, and flood control in Telegram

Three bugs causing intermittent silent drops, partial responses, and
flood control delays on the Telegram platform:

1. Race condition in handle_message() — _active_sessions was set inside
   the background task, not before create_task(). Two rapid messages
   could both pass the guard and spawn duplicate processing tasks.
   Fix: set _active_sessions synchronously before spawning the task
   (grammY sequentialize / aiogram EventIsolation pattern).

2. Photo media loss on dequeue — when a photo (no caption) was queued
   during active processing and later dequeued, only .text was
   extracted. Empty text → message silently dropped.
   Fix: _build_media_placeholder() creates text context for media-only
   events so they survive the dequeue path.

3. Progress message edits triggered Telegram flood control — rapid tool
   calls edited the progress message every 0.3s, hitting Telegram's
   rate limit (23s+ waits). This blocked progress updates and could
   cause stream consumer timeouts.
   Fix: throttle edits to 1.5s minimum interval, detect flood control
   errors and gracefully degrade to new messages. edit_message() now
   returns failure for flood waits >5s instead of blocking.

* fix(gateway): downgrade empty/None response log from WARNING to DEBUG

This warning fires on every successful streamed response (streaming
delivers the text, handler returns None via already_sent=True) and
on every queued message during active processing. Both are expected
behavior, not error conditions. Downgrade to DEBUG to reduce log noise.

* fix(gateway): prevent stuck sessions with agent timeout and staleness eviction

Three changes to prevent sessions from getting permanently locked:

1. Agent execution timeout (HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT, default 10min):
   Wraps run_in_executor with asyncio.wait_for so a hung API call or
   runaway tool can't lock a session indefinitely. On timeout, the
   agent is interrupted and the user gets an actionable error message.

2. Staleness eviction for _running_agents:
   Tracks start timestamps for each session entry. When a new message
   arrives and the entry is older than timeout + 1min grace, it's
   evicted as a leaked lock. Safety net for any cleanup path that
   fails to remove the entry.

3. Cron job timeout (HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT, default 10min):
   Wraps run_conversation in a ThreadPoolExecutor with timeout so a
   hung cron job doesn't block the ticker thread (and all subsequent
   cron jobs) indefinitely.

Follows grammY runner's per-update timeout pattern and aiogram's
asyncio.wait_for approach for handler deadlines.

* fix(gateway): STT config resolution, stream consumer flood control fallback

Three targeted fixes from user-reported issues:

1. STT config resolution (transcription_tools.py):
   _has_openai_audio_backend() and _resolve_openai_audio_client_config()
   now check stt.openai.api_key/base_url in config.yaml FIRST, before
   falling back to env vars. Fixes voice transcription breaking when
   using a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint via config.yaml.

2. Stream consumer flood control fallback (stream_consumer.py):
   When an edit fails mid-stream (e.g., Telegram flood control returns
   failure for waits >5s), reset _already_sent to False so the normal
   final send path delivers the complete response. Previously, a
   truncated partial was left as the final message.

3. Telegram edit_message comment alignment (telegram.py):
   Clarify that long flood waits return failure so streaming can fall
   back to a normal final send.

* refactor: simplify and harden PR fixes after review

- Fix cron ThreadPoolExecutor blocking on timeout: use shutdown(wait=False,
  cancel_futures=True) instead of context manager that waits indefinitely
- Extract _dequeue_pending_text() to deduplicate media-placeholder logic
  in interrupt and normal-completion dequeue paths
- Remove hasattr guards for _running_agents_ts: add class-level default
  so partial test construction works without scattered defensive checks
- Move `import concurrent.futures` to top of cron/scheduler.py
- Progress throttle: sleep remaining interval instead of busy-looping
  0.1s (~15 wakeups per 1.5s window → 1 wakeup)
- Deduplicate _load_stt_config() in transcription_tools.py:
  _has_openai_audio_backend() now delegates to _resolve_openai_audio_client_config()

* fix: move class-level attribute after docstring, clarify throttle comment

Follow-up nits for salvaged PR #4577:
- Move _running_agents_ts class attribute below the docstring so
  GatewayRunner.__doc__ is preserved.
- Add clarifying comment explaining the throttle continue behavior
  (batches queued messages during the throttle interval).

* fix(update): handle conflicted git index during hermes update

When the git index has unmerged entries (e.g. from an interrupted
merge or rebase), git stash fails with 'needs merge / could not
write index'. Detect this with git ls-files --unmerged and clear
the conflict state with git reset before attempting the stash.
Working-tree changes are preserved.

Reported by @LLMJunky — package-lock.json conflict from a prior
merge left the index dirty, blocking hermes update entirely.

Teknium c66c688727 fix: remove redundant restart message from update launchd path
launchd_restart() already prints stop/start confirmation via its
internal helpers — the extra 'Gateway restarted via launchd' line
was redundant. Update test assertion to match.

Address feature gaps vs Telegram/Discord/Mattermost adapters:
- free_response_chats whitelist to bypass mention gating per-group
- strip bot @phone mentions from body before forwarding to agent
- unwrap templateMessage/buttonsMessage/listMessage in bridge
- info-level log on successful mention pattern compilation
- use module-level json import instead of inline import in config
- eliminate double _normalize_whatsapp_id call via walrus operator
- hoist botIds computation outside per-message loop in bridge

Teknium 23addf48d3 fix: allow running gateway service as root for LXC/container environments (#4732)
Previously, `hermes gateway install --system` hard-refused to create a
service running as root, even when explicitly requested via
`--run-as-user root`. This forced LXC/container users (where root is
the only user) to either create throwaway users or comment out the check
in source.

Changes:
- Auto-detected root (no explicit --run-as-user) still raises, but with
  a message explaining how to override
- Explicit `--run-as-user root` now allowed with a warning about
  security implications
- Interactive setup wizard prompt accepts 'root' as a valid username
  (warning comes from _system_service_identity downstream)
- Added tests for all three paths: auto-detected root rejection,
  explicit root allowance, and normal non-root passthrough

kshitijk4poor 4d99305345 fix(cli): surface recent sessions inside /history and /resume
When /history is used in an empty chat or /resume with no argument,
show an inline table of recent resumable sessions with title, preview,
relative timestamp, and session ID instead of a dead-end message.

Table formatting matches the existing hermes sessions list style
(column headers + thin separators, no box drawing).

kshitijk4poor 28380e7aed fix(gateway): STT config resolution, stream consumer flood control fallback
Three targeted fixes from user-reported issues:

1. STT config resolution (transcription_tools.py):
   _has_openai_audio_backend() and _resolve_openai_audio_client_config()
   now check stt.openai.api_key/base_url in config.yaml FIRST, before
   falling back to env vars. Fixes voice transcription breaking when
   using a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint via config.yaml.

2. Stream consumer flood control fallback (stream_consumer.py):
   When an edit fails mid-stream (e.g., Telegram flood control returns
   failure for waits >5s), reset _already_sent to False so the normal
   final send path delivers the complete response. Previously, a
   truncated partial was left as the final message.

3. Telegram edit_message comment alignment (telegram.py):

   back to a normal final send.

kshitijk4poor 970042deab fix(gateway): prevent stuck sessions with agent timeout and staleness eviction
Three changes to prevent sessions from getting permanently locked:

1. Agent execution timeout (HERMES_AGENT_TIMEOUT, default 10min):
   Wraps run_in_executor with asyncio.wait_for so a hung API call or
   runaway tool can't lock a session indefinitely. On timeout, the
   agent is interrupted and the user gets an actionable error message.

2. Staleness eviction for _running_agents:
   Tracks start timestamps for each session entry. When a new message
   arrives and the entry is older than timeout + 1min grace, it's
   evicted as a leaked lock. Safety net for any cleanup path that
   fails to remove the entry.

3. Cron job timeout (HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT, default 10min):
   Wraps run_conversation in a ThreadPoolExecutor with timeout so a
   hung cron job doesn't block the ticker thread (and all subsequent
   cron jobs) indefinitely.

Follows grammY runner's per-update timeout pattern and aiogram's
asyncio.wait_for approach for handler deadlines.
2026-04-03 00:50:17 -07:00
kshitijk4poor 9bb83d1298 fix(gateway): downgrade empty/None response log from WARNING to DEBUG
This warning fires on every successful streamed response (streaming
delivers the text, handler returns None via already_sent=True) and
on every queued message during active processing. Both are expected
behavior, not error conditions. Downgrade to DEBUG to reduce log noise.
2026-04-03 00:50:17 -07:00
kshitijk4poor 69f85a4dce fix(gateway): race condition, photo media loss, and flood control in Telegram
Three bugs causing intermittent silent drops, partial responses, and
flood control delays on the Telegram platform:

1. Race condition in handle_message() — _active_sessions was set inside
   the background task, not before create_task(). Two rapid messages
   could both pass the guard and spawn duplicate processing tasks.
   Fix: set _active_sessions synchronously before spawning the task
   (grammY sequentialize / aiogram EventIsolation pattern).

2. Photo media loss on dequeue — when a photo (no caption) was queued
   during active processing and later dequeued, only .text was
   extracted. Empty text → message silently dropped.
   Fix: _build_media_placeholder() creates text context for media-only
   events so they survive the dequeue path.

3. Progress message edits triggered Telegram flood control — rapid tool
   calls edited the progress message every 0.3s, hitting Telegram's
   rate limit (23s+ waits). This blocked progress updates and could
   cause stream consumer timeouts.
   Fix: throttle edits to 1.5s minimum interval, detect flood control
   errors and gracefully degrade to new messages. edit_message() now
   returns failure for flood waits >5s instead of blocking.

Teknium 3659e1f0c2 test(acp): add E2E tests for MCP registration and tool-result reporting
Tests the full ACP flow:
- new_session with mcpServers → config conversion → register_mcp_servers
- prompt → tool_progress_callback → ToolCallStart events
- step_callback with results → ToolCallUpdate with rawOutput
- toolCallId pairing between start and completion events
- server names with slashes/dots sanitized correctly
- all session lifecycle methods (load/resume/fork) register MCP
2026-04-02 20:54:27 -07:00
Teknium 21c2d32471 fix(gateway): normalize step_callback prev_tools for backward compat
The PR changed prev_tools from list[str] to list[dict] with name/result
keys.  The gateway's _step_callback_sync passed this directly to hooks
as 'tool_names', breaking user-authored hooks that call
', '.join(tool_names).

Now:
- 'tool_names' always contains strings (backward-compatible)
- 'tools' carries the enriched dicts for hooks that want results

Also adds summary logging to register_mcp_servers() and comprehensive
tests for all three PR changes:
- sanitize_mcp_name_component edge cases
- register_mcp_servers public API
- _register_session_mcp_servers ACP integration
- step_callback result forwarding
- gateway normalization backward compat
2026-04-02 20:54:27 -07:00
Jack f66b3fe76b fix(acp): include tool results in step_callback for ACP tool_call_update events
The step_callback previously only forwarded tool names as strings,
so build_tool_complete received result=None and ACP tool_call_update
events had empty content/rawOutput. Now prev_tools carries dicts with
both name and result by pairing each tool_call with its matching
tool-role message via tool_call_id.

Jack 9aa82d4807 fix(acp): use raw server name as registry key, only sanitize for tool name prefixes 2026-04-02 20:54:27 -07:00
Jack 9b2fb1cc2e feat(acp): register client-provided MCP servers as agent tools
ACP clients pass MCP server definitions in session/new, load_session,
resume_session, and fork_session. Previously these were accepted but
silently ignored — the agent never connected to them.

This wires the mcp_servers parameter into the existing MCP registration
pipeline (tools/mcp_tool.py) so client-provided servers are connected,
their tools discovered, and the agent's tool surface refreshed before
the first prompt.

Changes:

tools/mcp_tool.py:
- Extract sanitize_mcp_name_component() to replace all non-[A-Za-z0-9_]
  characters (fixes crash when server names contain / or other chars
  that violate provider tool-name validation rules)
- Use it in _convert_mcp_schema, _sync_mcp_toolsets, _build_utility_schemas
- Extract register_mcp_servers(servers: dict) as a public API that takes
  an explicit {name: config} map. discover_mcp_tools() becomes a thin
  wrapper that loads config.yaml and calls register_mcp_servers()

acp_adapter/server.py:
- Add _register_session_mcp_servers() which converts ACP McpServerStdio /
  McpServerHttp / McpServerSse objects to Hermes MCP config dicts,
  registers them via asyncio.to_thread (avoids blocking the ACP event
  loop), then rebuilds agent.tools, valid_tool_names, and invalidates
  the cached system prompt
- Call it from new_session, load_session, resume_session, fork_session

Tested with Eden (theproxycompany.com) as ACP client — 5 MCP servers
(HTTP + stdio) registered successfully, 110 tools available to the agent.

Erosika 29c98e8f83 feat(honcho): add configurable observation mode (unified/directional)
Adds observationMode config field to HonchoClientConfig:
- 'unified' (default): user peer self-observations, all agents share one pool
- 'directional': AI peer observes user, each agent keeps its own view

Changes:
- client.py: observation_mode field, _normalize_observation_mode(), config resolution
- session.py: add_peers respects mode (peer observation flags), dialectic_query
  routes through correct peer, create_conclusion uses correct observer

# Hermes Agent v0.7.0 (v2026.4.3)
**Release Date:** April 3, 2026
> The resilience release — pluggable memory providers, credential pool rotation, Camofox anti-detection browser, inline diff previews, gateway hardening across race conditions and approval routing, and deep security fixes across 168 PRs and 46 resolved issues.
---
## ✨ Highlights
- **Pluggable Memory Provider Interface** — Memory is now an extensible plugin system. Third-party memory backends (Honcho, vector stores, custom DBs) implement a simple provider ABC and register via the plugin system. Built-in memory is the default provider. Honcho integration restored to full parity as the reference plugin with profile-scoped host/peer resolution. ([#4623](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4623), [#4616](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4616), [#4355](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4355))
- **Same-Provider Credential Pools** — Configure multiple API keys for the same provider with automatic rotation. Thread-safe `least_used` strategy distributes load across keys, and 401 failures trigger automatic rotation to the next credential. Set up via the setup wizard or `credential_pool` config. ([#4188](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4188), [#4300](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4300), [#4361](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4361))
- **Camofox Anti-Detection Browser Backend** — New local browser backend using Camoufox for stealth browsing. Persistent sessions with VNC URL discovery for visual debugging, configurable SSRF bypass for local backends, auto-install via `hermes tools`. ([#4008](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4008), [#4419](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4419), [#4292](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4292))
- **Inline Diff Previews** — File write and patch operations now show inline diffs in the tool activity feed, giving you visual confirmation of what changed before the agent moves on. ([#4411](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4411), [#4423](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4423))
- **API Server Session Continuity & Tool Streaming** — The API server (Open WebUI integration) now streams tool progress events in real-time and supports `X-Hermes-Session-Id` headers for persistent sessions across requests. Sessions persist to the shared SessionDB. ([#4092](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4092), [#4478](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4478), [#4802](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4802))
- **ACP: Client-Provided MCP Servers** — Editor integrations (VS Code, Zed, JetBrains) can now register their own MCP servers, which Hermes picks up as additional agent tools. Your editor's MCP ecosystem flows directly into the agent. ([#4705](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4705))
- **Gateway Hardening** — Major stability pass across race conditions, photo media delivery, flood control, stuck sessions, approval routing, and compression death spirals. The gateway is substantially more reliable in production. ([#4727](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4727), [#4750](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4750), [#4798](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4798), [#4557](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4557))
- **Security: Secret Exfiltration Blocking** — Browser URLs and LLM responses are now scanned for secret patterns, blocking exfiltration attempts via URL encoding, base64, or prompt injection. Credential directory protections expanded to `.docker`, `.azure`, `.config/gh`. Execute_code sandbox output is redacted. ([#4483](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4483), [#4360](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4360), [#4305](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4305), [#4327](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4327))

## 🏗️ Core Agent & Architecture
### Provider & Model Support
- **Same-provider credential pools** — configure multiple API keys with automatic `least_used` rotation and 401 failover ([#4188](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4188), [#4300](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4300))
- **Credential pool preserved through smart routing** — pool state survives fallback provider switches and defers eager fallback on 429 ([#4361](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4361))
- **Per-turn primary runtime restoration** — after fallback provider use, the agent automatically restores the primary provider on the next turn with transport recovery ([#4624](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4624))
- **`developer` role for GPT-5 and Codex models** — uses OpenAI's recommended system message role for newer models ([#4498](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4498))
- **Google model operational guidance** — Gemini and Gemma models get provider-specific prompting guidance ([#4641](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4641))
- **Anthropic long-context tier 429 handling** — automatically reduces context to 200k when hitting tier limits ([#4747](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4747))

- **Unified setup wizard provider selection** with `hermes model` — single code path for both flows ([#4200](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4200))
- **Root-level provider config** no longer overrides `model.provider` ([#4329](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4329))
- **Rate-limit pairing rejection messages** to prevent spam ([#4081](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4081))
### Agent Loop & Conversation
- **Preserve Anthropic thinking block signatures** across tool-use turns ([#4626](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4626))
- **Classify think-only empty responses** before retrying — prevents infinite retry loops on models that produce thinking blocks without content ([#4645](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4645))
- **Prevent compression death spiral** from API disconnects — stops the loop where compression triggers, fails, compresses again ([#4750](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4750), closes [#2153](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/2153))
- **Persist compressed context** to gateway session after mid-run compression ([#4095](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4095))

- **Harden Codex responses preflight** and stream error handling ([#4313](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4313))
- **Deterministic call_id fallbacks** instead of random UUIDs for prompt cache consistency ([#3991](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/3991))
- **Context pressure warning spam** prevented after compression ([#4012](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4012))
- **AsyncOpenAI created lazily** in trajectory compressor to avoid closed event loop errors ([#4013](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4013))

---
## 📱 Messaging Platforms (Gateway)
### Gateway Core
- **Race condition fixes** — photo media loss, flood control, stuck sessions, and STT config issues resolved in one hardening pass ([#4727](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4727))
- **Approval routing through running-agent guard** — `/approve` and `/deny` now route correctly when the agent is blocked waiting for approval instead of being swallowed as interrupts ([#4798](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4798), [#4557](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4557), closes [#4542](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/4542))
- **Resume agent after /approve** — tool result is no longer lost when executing blocked commands ([#4418](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/pull/4418))

"""Per-provider model name normalization.
Different LLM providers expect model identifiers in different formats:

- **Anthropic** native API expects bare names with dots replaced by
hyphens: ``claude-sonnet-4-6``.
- **Copilot** expects bare names *with* dots preserved:
``claude-sonnet-4.6``.
- **OpenCode** (Zen & Go) follows the same dot-to-hyphen convention as
Anthropic: ``claude-sonnet-4-6``.
- **DeepSeek** only accepts two model identifiers:
``deepseek-chat`` and ``deepseek-reasoner``.
- **Custom** and remaining providers pass the name through as-is.
This module centralises that translation so callers can simply write::

Both the CLI (cli.py) and gateway (gateway/run.py) /model handlers
share the same core pipeline:
parse_model_input is_custom detection auto-detect provider
credential resolution validate model return result
parse flags -> alias resolution -> provider resolution ->
credential resolution -> normalize model name ->
metadata lookup -> build result
This module extracts that shared pipeline into pure functions that
return result objects. The callers handle all platform-specific
concerns: state mutation, config persistence, output formatting.
This module ties together the foundation layers:
- ``agent.models_dev`` -- models.dev catalog, ModelInfo, ProviderInfo
- ``hermes_cli.providers`` -- canonical provider identity + overlays
- ``hermes_cli.model_normalize`` -- per-provider name formatting
Provider switching uses the ``--provider`` flag exclusively.
No colon-based ``provider:model`` syntax colons are reserved for
OpenRouter variant suffixes (``:free``, ``:extended``, ``:fast``).

# GitNexus Explorer
Index any codebase into a knowledge graph and serve an interactive web UI for exploring
symbols, call chains, clusters, and execution flows. Tunneled via Cloudflare for remote access.
## When to Use
- User wants to visually explore a codebase's architecture
- User asks for a knowledge graph / dependency graph of a repo
- User wants to share an interactive codebase explorer with someone
## Prerequisites
- **Node.js** (v18+) — required for GitNexus and the proxy
- **git** — repo must have a `.git` directory
- **cloudflared** — for tunneling (auto-installed to ~/.local/bin if missing)
## Size Warning
The web UI renders all nodes in the browser. Repos under ~5,000 files work well. Large
repos (30k+ nodes) will be sluggish or crash the browser tab. The CLI/MCP tools work
at any scale — only the web visualization has this limit.
## Steps
### 1. Clone and Build GitNexus (one-time setup)
```bash
GITNEXUS_DIR="${GITNEXUS_DIR:-$HOME/.local/share/gitnexus}"
if [ ! -d "$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-web/dist" ]; then
git clone https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus.git "$GITNEXUS_DIR"
cd "$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-shared" && npm install && npm run build
cd "$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-web" && npm install
fi
```
### 2. Patch the Web UI for Remote Access
The web UI defaults to `localhost:4747` for API calls. Patch it to use same-origin
so it works through a tunnel/proxy:
**File: `$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-web/src/config/ui-constants.ts`**
Change:
```typescript
export const DEFAULT_BACKEND_URL = 'http://localhost:4747';
```
To:
```typescript
export const DEFAULT_BACKEND_URL = typeof window !== 'undefined' && window.location.hostname !== 'localhost' ? window.location.origin : 'http://localhost:4747';
```
**File: `$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-web/vite.config.ts`**
Add `allowedHosts: true` inside the `server: { }` block (only needed if running dev
mode instead of production build):
```typescript
server: {
allowedHosts: true,
// ... existing config
},
```
Then build the production bundle:
```bash
cd "$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-web" && npx vite build
```
### 3. Index the Target Repo
```bash
cd /path/to/target-repo
npx gitnexus analyze --skip-agents-md
rm -rf .claude/ # remove Claude Code-specific artifacts
```
Add `--embeddings` for semantic search (slower — minutes instead of seconds).
The index lives in `.gitnexus/` inside the repo (auto-gitignored).
### 4. Create the Proxy Script
Write this to a file (e.g., `$GITNEXUS_DIR/proxy.mjs`). It serves the production
web UI and proxies `/api/*` to the GitNexus backend — same origin, no CORS issues,
no sudo, no nginx.
```javascript
import http from 'node:http';
import fs from 'node:fs';
import path from 'node:path';
const API_PORT = parseInt(process.env.API_PORT || '4747');
const DIST_DIR = process.argv[2] || './dist';
const PORT = parseInt(process.argv[3] || '8888');
const MIME = {
'.html': 'text/html', '.js': 'application/javascript', '.css': 'text/css',
'.json': 'application/json', '.png': 'image/png', '.svg': 'image/svg+xml',
'.ico': 'image/x-icon', '.woff2': 'font/woff2', '.woff': 'font/woff',
'.wasm': 'application/wasm',
};
function proxyToApi(req, res) {
const opts = {
hostname: '127.0.0.1', port: API_PORT,
path: req.url, method: req.method, headers: req.headers,
};
const proxy = http.request(opts, (upstream) => {
res.writeHead(upstream.statusCode, upstream.headers);
upstream.pipe(res, { end: true });
});
proxy.on('error', () => { res.writeHead(502); res.end('Backend unavailable'); });
req.pipe(proxy, { end: true });
}
function serveStatic(req, res) {
let filePath = path.join(DIST_DIR, req.url === '/' ? 'index.html' : req.url.split('?')[0]);
if (!fs.existsSync(filePath)) filePath = path.join(DIST_DIR, 'index.html');
const ext = path.extname(filePath);
const mime = MIME[ext] || 'application/octet-stream';
try {
const data = fs.readFileSync(filePath);
res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': mime, 'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=3600' });
res.end(data);
} catch { res.writeHead(404); res.end('Not found'); }
}
http.createServer((req, res) => {
if (req.url.startsWith('/api')) proxyToApi(req, res);
else serveStatic(req, res);
}).listen(PORT, () => console.log(`GitNexus proxy on http://localhost:${PORT}`));
```
### 5. Start the Services
```bash
# Terminal 1: GitNexus backend API
npx gitnexus serve &
# Terminal 2: Proxy (web UI + API on one port)
node "$GITNEXUS_DIR/proxy.mjs" "$GITNEXUS_DIR/gitnexus-web/dist" 8888 &
```
Verify: `curl -s http://localhost:8888/api/repos` should return the indexed repo(s).
### 6. Tunnel with Cloudflare (optional — for remote access)
```bash
# Install cloudflared if needed (no sudo)
if ! command -v cloudflared &>/dev/null; then
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -sL https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 \
-o ~/.local/bin/cloudflared
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/cloudflared
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
fi
# Start tunnel (--config /dev/null avoids conflicts with existing named tunnels)
cloudflared tunnel --config /dev/null --url http://localhost:8888 --no-autoupdate --protocol http2
```
The tunnel URL (e.g., `https://random-words.trycloudflare.com`) is printed to stderr.
Share it — anyone with the link can explore the graph.
### 7. Cleanup
```bash
# Stop services
pkill -f "gitnexus serve"
pkill -f "proxy.mjs"
pkill -f cloudflared
# Remove index from the target repo
cd /path/to/target-repo
npx gitnexus clean
rm -rf .claude/
```
## Pitfalls
- **`--config /dev/null` is required for cloudflared** if the user has an existing
named tunnel config at `~/.cloudflared/config.yml`. Without it, the catch-all
ingress rule in the config returns 404 for all quick tunnel requests.
- **Production build is mandatory for tunneling.** The Vite dev server blocks
non-localhost hosts by default (`allowedHosts`). The production build + Node
proxy avoids this entirely.
- **The web UI does NOT create `.claude/` or `CLAUDE.md`.** Those are created by
`npx gitnexus analyze`. Use `--skip-agents-md` to suppress the markdown files,
then `rm -rf .claude/` for the rest. These are Claude Code integrations that
hermes-agent users don't need.
- **Browser memory limit.** The web UI loads the entire graph into browser memory.
Repos with 5k+ files may be sluggish. 30k+ files will likely crash the tab.
- **Embeddings are optional.** `--embeddings` enables semantic search but takes
minutes on large repos. Skip it for quick exploration; add it if you want
natural language queries via the AI chat panel.
- **Multiple repos.** `gitnexus serve` serves ALL indexed repos. Index several
repos, start serve once, and the web UI lets you switch between them.

The setup wizard will install dependencies automatically via `uv` and walk you through configuration.
Or manually (cloud mode with defaults):
```bash
hermes config set memory.provider hindsight

| `bank_id` | `hermes` | Memory bank identifier |
| `budget` | `mid` | Recall thoroughness: `low`/`mid`/`high` |
| `api_url` | `https://api.hindsight.vectorize.io` | API URL (cloud mode) |
| `api_url` | `http://localhost:8888` | API URL (local mode, unused — daemon manages its own port) |
### Memory
| Key | Default | Description |
|-----|---------|-------------|
| `bank_id` | `hermes` | Memory bank name |
| `budget` | `mid` | Recall thoroughness: `low` / `mid` / `high` |
### Integration
| Key | Default | Description |
|-----|---------|-------------|
| `memory_mode` | `hybrid` | How memories are integrated into the agent |
| `prefetch_method` | `recall` | Method for automatic context injection |
**memory_mode:**
- `hybrid` — automatic context injection + tools available to the LLM
- `context` — automatic injection only, no tools exposed
- `tools` — tools only, no automatic injection
**prefetch_method:**
- `recall` — injects raw memory facts (fast)
- `reflect` — injects LLM-synthesized summary (slower, more coherent)
### Local Mode LLM
| Key | Default | Description |
|-----|---------|-------------|
| `llm_provider` | `openai` | LLM provider: `openai`, `anthropic`, `gemini`, `groq`, `minimax`, `ollama` |
| `llm_model` | per-provider | Model name (e.g. `gpt-4o-mini`, `openai/gpt-oss-120b`) |
The LLM API key is stored in `~/.hermes/.env` as `HINDSIGHT_LLM_API_KEY`.
## Tools
Available in `hybrid` and `tools` memory modes:
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `hindsight_retain` | Store information with auto entity extraction |
| `hindsight_recall` | Multi-strategy search (semantic + entity graph) |
| `hindsight_reflect` | Cross-memory synthesis (LLM-powered) |
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `HINDSIGHT_API_KEY` | API key for Hindsight Cloud |
| `HINDSIGHT_LLM_API_KEY` | LLM API key for local mode |
| `HINDSIGHT_API_URL` | Override API endpoint |
| `HINDSIGHT_BANK_ID` | Override bank name |
| `HINDSIGHT_BUDGET` | Override recall budget |
| `HINDSIGHT_MODE` | Override mode (`cloud` / `local`) |

# Claude Code
# Claude Code — Hermes Orchestration Guide
Delegate coding tasks to [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) via the Hermes terminal. Claude Code is Anthropic's autonomous coding agent CLI.
Delegate coding tasks to [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/cli-reference) (Anthropic's autonomous coding agent CLI) via the Hermes terminal. Claude Code v2.x can read files, write code, run shell commands, spawn subagents, and manage git workflows autonomously.
## Prerequisites
- Claude Code installed: `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`
- Authenticated: run `claude` once to log in
- Use `pty=true` in terminal calls — Claude Code is an interactive terminal app
- **Install:** `npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`
- **Auth:** run `claude` once to log in (browser OAuth for Pro/Max, or set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`)
- **Console auth:** `claude auth login --console` for API key billing
- **SSO auth:** `claude auth login --sso` for Enterprise
- **Check status:** `claude auth status` (JSON) or `claude auth status --text` (human-readable)
- **Health check:** `claude doctor` — checks auto-updater and installation health
- **Version check:** `claude --version` (requires v2.x+)
- **Update:** `claude update` or `claude upgrade`
## One-Shot Tasks
## Two Orchestration Modes
Hermes interacts with Claude Code in two fundamentally different ways. Choose based on the task.
### Mode 1: Print Mode (`-p`) — Non-Interactive (PREFERRED for most tasks)
Print mode runs a one-shot task, returns the result, and exits. No PTY needed. No interactive prompts. This is the cleanest integration path.
```
terminal(command="claude 'Add error handling to the API calls'", workdir="/path/to/project", pty=true)
terminal(command="claude -p 'Add error handling to all API calls in src/' --allowedTools 'Read,Edit' --max-turns 10", workdir="/path/to/project", timeout=120)
```
For quick scratch work:
```
terminal(command="cd $(mktemp -d) && git init && claude 'Build a REST API for todos'", pty=true)
```
**When to use print mode:**
- One-shot coding tasks (fix a bug, add a feature, refactor)
- CI/CD automation and scripting
- Structured data extraction with `--json-schema`
- Piped input processing (`cat file | claude -p "analyze this"`)
- Any task where you don't need multi-turn conversation
## Background Mode (Long Tasks)
**Print mode skips ALL interactive dialogs** — no workspace trust prompt, no permission confirmations. This makes it ideal for automation.
For tasks that take minutes, use background mode so you can monitor progress:
### Mode 2: Interactive PTY via tmux — Multi-Turn Sessions
Interactive mode gives you a full conversational REPL where you can send follow-up prompts, use slash commands, and watch Claude work in real time. **Requires tmux orchestration.**
```
# Start in background with PTY
terminal(command="claude 'Refactor the auth module to use JWT'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
# Returns session_id
# Start a tmux session
terminal(command="tmux new-session -d -s claude-work -x 140 -y 40")
# Monitor progress
process(action="poll", session_id="<id>")
process(action="log", session_id="<id>")
# Launch Claude Code inside it
terminal(command="tmux send-keys -t claude-work 'cd /path/to/project && claude' Enter")
# Send input if Claude asks a question
process(action="submit", session_id="<id>", data="yes")
# Wait for startup, then send your task
# (after ~3-5 seconds for the welcome screen)
terminal(command="sleep 5 && tmux send-keys -t claude-work 'Refactor the auth module to use JWT tokens' Enter")
# Kill if needed
process(action="kill", session_id="<id>")
# Monitor progress by capturing the pane
terminal(command="sleep 15 && tmux capture-pane -t claude-work -p -S -50")
# Send follow-up tasks
terminal(command="tmux send-keys -t claude-work 'Now add unit tests for the new JWT code' Enter")
# Exit when done
terminal(command="tmux send-keys -t claude-work '/exit' Enter")
```
## PR Reviews
**When to use interactive mode:**
- Multi-turn iterative work (refactor → review → fix → test cycle)
- Tasks requiring human-in-the-loop decisions
- Exploratory coding sessions
- When you need to use Claude's slash commands (`/compact`, `/review`, `/model`)
Clone to a temp directory to avoid modifying the working tree:
## PTY Dialog Handling (CRITICAL for Interactive Mode)
Claude Code presents up to two confirmation dialogs on first launch. You MUST handle these via tmux send-keys:
### Dialog 1: Workspace Trust (first visit to a directory)
```
terminal(command="REVIEW=$(mktemp -d) && git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git $REVIEW && cd $REVIEW && gh pr checkout 42 && claude 'Review this PR against main. Check for bugs, security issues, and style.'", pty=true)
1. Yes, I trust this folder ← DEFAULT (just press Enter)
2. No, exit
```
**Handling:** `tmux send-keys -t <session> Enter` — default selection is correct.
### Dialog 2: Bypass Permissions Warning (only with --dangerously-skip-permissions)
```
1. No, exit ← DEFAULT (WRONG choice!)
2. Yes, I accept
```
**Handling:** Must navigate DOWN first, then Enter:
```
tmux send-keys -t <session> Down && sleep 0.3 && tmux send-keys -t <session> Enter
```
Or use git worktrees:
### Robust Dialog Handling Pattern
```
terminal(command="git worktree add /tmp/pr-42 pr-42-branch", workdir="~/project")
terminal(command="claude 'Review the changes in this branch vs main'", workdir="/tmp/pr-42", pty=true)
# Launch with permissions bypass
terminal(command="tmux send-keys -t claude-work 'claude --dangerously-skip-permissions \"your task\"' Enter")
# Handle trust dialog (Enter for default "Yes")
terminal(command="sleep 4 && tmux send-keys -t claude-work Enter")
# Handle permissions dialog (Down then Enter for "Yes, I accept")
terminal(command="sleep 3 && tmux send-keys -t claude-work Down && sleep 0.3 && tmux send-keys -t claude-work Enter")
# Now wait for Claude to work
terminal(command="sleep 15 && tmux capture-pane -t claude-work -p -S -60")
```
## Parallel Work
**Note:** After the first trust acceptance for a directory, the trust dialog won't appear again. Only the permissions dialog recurs each time you use `--dangerously-skip-permissions`.
Spawn multiple Claude Code instances for independent tasks:
## CLI Subcommands
| Subcommand | Purpose |
|------------|---------|
| `claude` | Start interactive REPL |
| `claude "query"` | Start REPL with initial prompt |
| `claude -p "query"` | Print mode (non-interactive, exits when done) |
| `cat file \| claude -p "query"` | Pipe content as stdin context |
| `claude -c` | Continue the most recent conversation in this directory |
| `claude -r "id"` | Resume a specific session by ID or name |

## Print Mode Deep Dive
### Structured JSON Output
```
terminal(command="claude 'Fix the login bug'", workdir="/tmp/issue-1", background=true, pty=true)
terminal(command="claude 'Add unit tests for auth'", workdir="/tmp/issue-2", background=true, pty=true)
# Monitor all
process(action="list")
terminal(command="claude -p 'Analyze auth.py for security issues' --output-format json --max-turns 5", workdir="/project", timeout=120)
```
## Key Flags
Returns a JSON object with:
```json
{
"type": "result",
"subtype": "success",
"result": "The analysis text...",
"session_id": "75e2167f-...",
"num_turns": 3,
"total_cost_usd": 0.0787,
"duration_ms": 10276,
"stop_reason": "end_turn",
"terminal_reason": "completed",
"usage": { "input_tokens": 5, "output_tokens": 603, ... },
"modelUsage": { "claude-sonnet-4-6": { "costUSD": 0.078, "contextWindow": 200000 } }
}
```
**Key fields:** `session_id` for resumption, `num_turns` for agentic loop count, `total_cost_usd` for spend tracking, `subtype` for success/error detection (`success`, `error_max_turns`, `error_budget`).
### Streaming JSON Output
For real-time token streaming, use `stream-json` with `--verbose`:
```
terminal(command="claude -p 'Write a summary' --output-format stream-json --verbose --include-partial-messages", timeout=60)
```
Returns newline-delimited JSON events. Filter with jq for live text:
```
claude -p "Explain X" --output-format stream-json --verbose --include-partial-messages | \
jq -rj 'select(.type == "stream_event" and .event.delta.type? == "text_delta") | .event.delta.text'
```
Stream events include `system/api_retry` with `attempt`, `max_retries`, and `error` fields (e.g., `rate_limit`, `billing_error`).
### Bidirectional Streaming
For real-time input AND output streaming:
```
claude -p "task" --input-format stream-json --output-format stream-json --replay-user-messages
```
`--replay-user-messages` re-emits user messages on stdout for acknowledgment.
### Piped Input
```
# Pipe a file for analysis
terminal(command="cat src/auth.py | claude -p 'Review this code for bugs' --max-turns 1", timeout=60)
# Pipe multiple files
terminal(command="cat src/*.py | claude -p 'Find all TODO comments' --max-turns 1", timeout=60)
# Pipe command output
terminal(command="git diff HEAD~3 | claude -p 'Summarize these changes' --max-turns 1", timeout=60)
```
### JSON Schema for Structured Extraction
```
terminal(command="claude -p 'List all functions in src/' --output-format json --json-schema '{\"type\":\"object\",\"properties\":{\"functions\":{\"type\":\"array\",\"items\":{\"type\":\"string\"}}},\"required\":[\"functions\"]}' --max-turns 5", workdir="/project", timeout=90)
```
Parse `structured_output` from the JSON result. Claude validates output against the schema before returning.
### Session Continuation
```
# Start a task
terminal(command="claude -p 'Start refactoring the database layer' --output-format json --max-turns 10 > /tmp/session.json", workdir="/project", timeout=180)
# Resume with session ID
terminal(command="claude -p 'Continue and add connection pooling' --resume $(cat /tmp/session.json | python3 -c 'import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)[\"session_id\"])') --max-turns 5", workdir="/project", timeout=120)
# Or resume the most recent session in the same directory
terminal(command="claude -p 'What did you do last time?' --continue --max-turns 1", workdir="/project", timeout=30)
# Fork a session (new ID, keeps history)
terminal(command="claude -p 'Try a different approach' --resume <id> --fork-session --max-turns 10", workdir="/project", timeout=120)
```
### Bare Mode for CI/Scripting
```
terminal(command="claude --bare -p 'Run all tests and report failures' --allowedTools 'Read,Bash' --max-turns 10", workdir="/project", timeout=180)
```
`--bare` skips hooks, plugins, MCP discovery, and CLAUDE.md loading. Fastest startup. Requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (skips OAuth).
To selectively load context in bare mode:
| To load | Flag |
|---------|------|
| System prompt additions | `--append-system-prompt "text"` or `--append-system-prompt-file path` |
| Settings | `--settings <file-or-json>` |
| MCP servers | `--mcp-config <file-or-json>` |
| Custom agents | `--agents '<json>'` |
### Fallback Model for Overload
```
terminal(command="claude -p 'task' --fallback-model haiku --max-turns 5", timeout=90)
```
Automatically falls back to the specified model when the default is overloaded (print mode only).
## Complete CLI Flags Reference
### Session & Environment
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `claude 'prompt'` | One-shot task, exits when done |
| `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions` | Auto-approve all file changes |
| `claude --model <model>` | Use a specific model |
| `-p, --print` | Non-interactive one-shot mode (exits when done) |
| `-c, --continue` | Resume most recent conversation in current directory |
| `-r, --resume <id>` | Resume specific session by ID or name (interactive picker if no ID) |
| `--fork-session` | When resuming, create new session ID instead of reusing original |
| `--session-id <uuid>` | Use a specific UUID for the conversation |
| `--no-session-persistence` | Don't save session to disk (print mode only) |
| `--add-dir <paths...>` | Grant Claude access to additional working directories |
| `-w, --worktree [name]` | Run in an isolated git worktree at `.claude/worktrees/<name>` |
| `--tmux` | Create a tmux session for the worktree (requires `--worktree`) |
| `--ide` | Auto-connect to a valid IDE on startup |

| `--from-pr [number]` | Resume session linked to a specific GitHub PR |
| `--file <specs...>` | File resources to download at startup (format: `file_id:relative_path`) |
## Rules
### Model & Performance
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--model <alias>` | Model selection: `sonnet`, `opus`, `haiku`, or full name like `claude-sonnet-4-6` |
| `--effort <level>` | Reasoning depth: `low`, `medium`, `high`, `max`, `auto` | Both |
| `--max-turns <n>` | Limit agentic loops (print mode only; prevents runaway) |
| `--max-budget-usd <n>` | Cap API spend in dollars (print mode only) |
| `--fallback-model <model>` | Auto-fallback when default model is overloaded (print mode only) |
| `--betas <betas...>` | Beta headers to include in API requests (API key users only) |
1. **Always use `pty=true`** — Claude Code is an interactive terminal app and will hang without a PTY
2. **Use `workdir`** — keep the agent focused on the right directory
3. **Background for long tasks** — use `background=true` and monitor with `process` tool
4. **Don't interfere** — monitor with `poll`/`log`, don't kill sessions because they're slow
5. **Report results** — after completion, check what changed and summarize for the user
### Permission & Safety
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--dangerously-skip-permissions` | Auto-approve ALL tool use (file writes, bash, network, etc.) |
| `--allow-dangerously-skip-permissions` | Enable bypass as an *option* without enabling it by default |
| `--permission-mode <mode>` | `default`, `acceptEdits`, `plan`, `auto`, `dontAsk`, `bypassPermissions` |
| `--allowedTools <tools...>` | Whitelist specific tools (comma or space-separated) |
| `--disallowedTools <tools...>` | Blacklist specific tools |
| `--tools <tools...>` | Override built-in tool set (`""` = none, `"default"` = all, or tool names) |
### Output & Input Format
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--output-format <fmt>` | `text` (default), `json` (single result object), `stream-json` (newline-delimited) |
| `--input-format <fmt>` | `text` (default) or `stream-json` (real-time streaming input) |
| `--json-schema <schema>` | Force structured JSON output matching a schema |
| `--verbose` | Full turn-by-turn output |
| `--include-partial-messages` | Include partial message chunks as they arrive (stream-json + print) |
| `--replay-user-messages` | Re-emit user messages on stdout (stream-json bidirectional) |
### System Prompt & Context
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--append-system-prompt <text>` | **Add** to the default system prompt (preserves built-in capabilities) |
| `--append-system-prompt-file <path>` | **Add** file contents to the default system prompt |
| `--system-prompt <text>` | **Replace** the entire system prompt (use --append instead usually) |
| `--system-prompt-file <path>` | **Replace** the system prompt with file contents |
| `--bare` | Skip hooks, plugins, MCP discovery, CLAUDE.md, OAuth (fastest startup) |
| `--agents '<json>'` | Define custom subagents dynamically as JSON |
| `--mcp-config <path>` | Load MCP servers from JSON file (repeatable) |
| `--strict-mcp-config` | Only use MCP servers from `--mcp-config`, ignoring all other MCP configs |

| `--disable-slash-commands` | Disable all skills/slash commands |
### Debugging
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `-d, --debug [filter]` | Enable debug logging with optional category filter (e.g., `"api,hooks"`, `"!1p,!file"`) |
| `--debug-file <path>` | Write debug logs to file (implicitly enables debug mode) |
### Agent Teams
| Flag | Effect |
|------|--------|
| `--teammate-mode <mode>` | How agent teams display: `auto`, `in-process`, or `tmux` |
| `--brief` | Enable `SendUserMessage` tool for agent-to-user communication |
### Tool Name Syntax for --allowedTools / --disallowedTools
```
Read # All file reading
Edit # File editing (existing files)
Write # File creation (new files)
Bash # All shell commands
Bash(git *) # Only git commands
Bash(git commit *) # Only git commit commands
Bash(npm run lint:*) # Pattern matching with wildcards
WebSearch # Web search capability
WebFetch # Web page fetching
mcp__<server>__<tool> # Specific MCP tool
```
## Settings & Configuration
### Settings Hierarchy (highest to lowest priority)
1. **CLI flags** — override everything
2. **Local project:** `.claude/settings.local.json` (personal, gitignored)
3. **Project:** `.claude/settings.json` (shared, git-tracked)
4. **User:** `~/.claude/settings.json` (global)
### Permissions in Settings
```json
{
"permissions": {
"allow": ["Bash(npm run lint:*)", "WebSearch", "Read"],
"ask": ["Write(*.ts)", "Bash(git push*)"],
"deny": ["Read(.env)", "Bash(rm -rf *)"]
}
}
```
### Memory Files (CLAUDE.md) Hierarchy
1. **Global:** `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` — applies to all projects
2. **Project:** `./CLAUDE.md` — project-specific context (git-tracked)
3. **Local:** `.claude/CLAUDE.local.md` — personal project overrides (gitignored)
Use the `#` prefix in interactive mode to quickly add to memory: `# Always use 2-space indentation`.
## Interactive Session: Slash Commands
### Session & Context
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `/help` | Show all commands (including custom and MCP commands) |
| `/compact [focus]` | Compress context to save tokens; CLAUDE.md survives compaction. E.g., `/compact focus on auth logic` |
| `/clear` | Wipe conversation history for a fresh start |
| `/context` | Visualize context usage as a colored grid with optimization tips |
| `/cost` | View token usage with per-model and cache-hit breakdowns |
| `/resume` | Switch to or resume a different session |
| `/rewind` | Revert to a previous checkpoint in conversation or code |
| `/btw <question>` | Ask a side question without adding to context cost |
| `/status` | Show version, connectivity, and session info |
| `/todos` | List tracked action items from the conversation |
| `/exit` or `Ctrl+D` | End session |
### Development & Review
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `/review` | Request code review of current changes |
| `/security-review` | Perform security analysis of current changes |
| `/plan [description]` | Enter Plan mode with auto-start for task planning |
| `/loop [interval]` | Schedule recurring tasks within the session |
| `/batch` | Auto-create worktrees for large parallel changes (5-30 worktrees) |
### Configuration & Tools
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `/model [model]` | Switch models mid-session (use arrow keys to adjust effort) |
| `/effort [level]` | Set reasoning effort: `low`, `medium`, `high`, `max`, or `auto` |
| `/init` | Create a CLAUDE.md file for project memory |
| `/memory` | Open CLAUDE.md for editing |
| `/config` | Open interactive settings configuration |
| `/permissions` | View/update tool permissions |
| `/agents` | Manage specialized subagents |
| `/mcp` | Interactive UI to manage MCP servers |
| `/add-dir` | Add additional working directories (useful for monorepos) |
| `/usage` | Show plan limits and rate limit status |
| `/voice` | Enable push-to-talk voice mode (20 languages; hold Space to record, release to send) |
| `/release-notes` | Interactive picker for version release notes |
### Custom Slash Commands
Create `.claude/commands/<name>.md` (project-shared) or `~/.claude/commands/<name>.md` (personal):
```markdown
# .claude/commands/deploy.md
Run the deploy pipeline:
1. Run all tests
2. Build the Docker image
3. Push to registry
4. Update the $ARGUMENTS environment (default: staging)
```
Usage: `/deploy production``$ARGUMENTS` is replaced with the user's input.
### Skills (Natural Language Invocation)
Unlike slash commands (manually invoked), skills in `.claude/skills/` are markdown guides that Claude invokes automatically via natural language when the task matches:
```markdown
# .claude/skills/database-migration.md
When asked to create or modify database migrations:
1. Use Alembic for migration generation
2. Always create a rollback function
3. Test migrations against a local database copy
```
## Interactive Session: Keyboard Shortcuts
### General Controls
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `Ctrl+C` | Cancel current input or generation |
| `Ctrl+D` | Exit session |
| `Ctrl+R` | Reverse search command history |
| `Ctrl+B` | Background a running task |
| `Ctrl+V` | Paste image into conversation |
| `Ctrl+O` | Transcript mode — see Claude's thinking process |
| `Ctrl+G` or `Ctrl+X Ctrl+E` | Open prompt in external editor |
| `Esc Esc` | Rewind conversation or code state / summarize |
### Mode Toggles
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `Shift+Tab` | Cycle permission modes (Normal → Auto-Accept → Plan) |
| `Alt+P` | Switch model |
| `Alt+T` | Toggle thinking mode |
| `Alt+O` | Toggle Fast Mode |
### Multiline Input
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| `\` + `Enter` | Quick newline |
| `Shift+Enter` | Newline (alternative) |
| `Ctrl+J` | Newline (alternative) |
### Input Prefixes
| Prefix | Action |
|--------|--------|
| `!` | Execute bash directly, bypassing AI (e.g., `!npm test`). Use `!` alone to toggle shell mode. |
| `@` | Reference files/directories with autocomplete (e.g., `@./src/api/`) |
| `#` | Quick add to CLAUDE.md memory (e.g., `# Use 2-space indentation`) |
| `/` | Slash commands |
### Pro Tip: "ultrathink"
Use the keyword "ultrathink" in your prompt for maximum reasoning effort on a specific turn. This triggers the deepest thinking mode regardless of the current `/effort` setting.
## PR Review Pattern
### Quick Review (Print Mode)
```
terminal(command="cd /path/to/repo && git diff main...feature-branch | claude -p 'Review this diff for bugs, security issues, and style problems. Be thorough.' --max-turns 1", timeout=60)
```
### Deep Review (Interactive + Worktree)
```
terminal(command="tmux new-session -d -s review -x 140 -y 40")
terminal(command="tmux send-keys -t review 'cd /path/to/repo && claude -w pr-review' Enter")
terminal(command="sleep 5 && tmux send-keys -t review Enter") # Trust dialog
terminal(command="sleep 2 && tmux send-keys -t review 'Review all changes vs main. Check for bugs, security issues, race conditions, and missing tests.' Enter")
terminal(command="sleep 30 && tmux capture-pane -t review -p -S -60")
```
### PR Review from Number
```
terminal(command="claude -p 'Review this PR thoroughly' --from-pr 42 --max-turns 10", workdir="/path/to/repo", timeout=120)
```
### Claude Worktree with tmux
```
terminal(command="claude -w feature-x --tmux", workdir="/path/to/repo")
```
Creates an isolated git worktree at `.claude/worktrees/feature-x` AND a tmux session for it. Uses iTerm2 native panes when available; add `--tmux=classic` for traditional tmux.
## Parallel Claude Instances
Run multiple independent Claude tasks simultaneously:
```
# Task 1: Fix backend
terminal(command="tmux new-session -d -s task1 -x 140 -y 40 && tmux send-keys -t task1 'cd ~/project && claude -p \"Fix the auth bug in src/auth.py\" --allowedTools \"Read,Edit\" --max-turns 10' Enter")
# Task 2: Write tests
terminal(command="tmux new-session -d -s task2 -x 140 -y 40 && tmux send-keys -t task2 'cd ~/project && claude -p \"Write integration tests for the API endpoints\" --allowedTools \"Read,Write,Bash\" --max-turns 15' Enter")
# Task 3: Update docs
terminal(command="tmux new-session -d -s task3 -x 140 -y 40 && tmux send-keys -t task3 'cd ~/project && claude -p \"Update README.md with the new API endpoints\" --allowedTools \"Read,Edit\" --max-turns 5' Enter")
# Monitor all
terminal(command="sleep 30 && for s in task1 task2 task3; do echo '=== '$s' ==='; tmux capture-pane -t $s -p -S -5 2>/dev/null; done")
```
## CLAUDE.md — Project Context File
Claude Code auto-loads `CLAUDE.md` from the project root. Use it to persist project context:
```markdown
# Project: My API
## Architecture
- FastAPI backend with SQLAlchemy ORM
- PostgreSQL database, Redis cache
- pytest for testing with 90% coverage target
## Key Commands
- `make test` — run full test suite
- `make lint` — ruff + mypy
- `make dev` — start dev server on :8000
## Code Standards
- Type hints on all public functions
- Docstrings in Google style
- 2-space indentation for YAML, 4-space for Python
- No wildcard imports
```
**Be specific.** Instead of "Write good code", use "Use 2-space indentation for JS" or "Name test files with `.test.ts` suffix." Specific instructions save correction cycles.
### Rules Directory (Modular CLAUDE.md)
For projects with many rules, use the rules directory instead of one massive CLAUDE.md:
- **Project rules:** `.claude/rules/*.md` — team-shared, git-tracked
- **User rules:** `~/.claude/rules/*.md` — personal, global
Each `.md` file in the rules directory is loaded as additional context. This is cleaner than cramming everything into a single CLAUDE.md.
### Auto-Memory
Claude automatically stores learned project context in `~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/`.
- **Limit:** 25KB or 200 lines per project
- This is separate from CLAUDE.md — it's Claude's own notes about the project, accumulated across sessions
## Custom Subagents
Define specialized agents in `.claude/agents/` (project), `~/.claude/agents/` (personal), or via `--agents` CLI flag (session):
### Agent Location Priority
1. `.claude/agents/` — project-level, team-shared
2. `--agents` CLI flag — session-specific, dynamic
3. `~/.claude/agents/` — user-level, personal
### Creating an Agent
```markdown
# .claude/agents/security-reviewer.md
---
name: security-reviewer
description: Security-focused code review
model: opus
tools: [Read, Bash]
---
You are a senior security engineer. Review code for:
- Injection vulnerabilities (SQL, XSS, command injection)
- Authentication/authorization flaws
- Secrets in code
- Unsafe deserialization
```
Invoke via: `@security-reviewer review the auth module`
### Dynamic Agents via CLI
```
terminal(command="claude --agents '{\"reviewer\": {\"description\": \"Reviews code\", \"prompt\": \"You are a code reviewer focused on performance\"}}' -p 'Use @reviewer to check auth.py'", timeout=120)
```
Claude can orchestrate multiple agents: "Use @db-expert to optimize queries, then @security to audit the changes."
## Hooks — Automation on Events
Configure in `.claude/settings.json` (project) or `~/.claude/settings.json` (global):
```json
{
"hooks": {
"PostToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Write(*.py)",
"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "ruff check --fix $CLAUDE_FILE_PATHS"}]
}],
"PreToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Bash",
"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "if echo \"$CLAUDE_TOOL_INPUT\" | grep -q 'rm -rf'; then echo 'Blocked!' && exit 2; fi"}]
}],
"Stop": [{
"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "echo 'Claude finished a response' >> /tmp/claude-activity.log"}]
}]
}
}
```
### All 8 Hook Types
| Hook | When it fires | Common use |
|------|--------------|------------|
| `UserPromptSubmit` | Before Claude processes a user prompt | Input validation, logging |
| `PreToolUse` | Before tool execution | Security gates, block dangerous commands (exit 2 = block) |
| `PostToolUse` | After a tool finishes | Auto-format code, run linters |
| `Notification` | On permission requests or input waits | Desktop notifications, alerts |
| `Stop` | When Claude finishes a response | Completion logging, status updates |
| `SubagentStop` | When a subagent completes | Agent orchestration |
| `PreCompact` | Before context memory is cleared | Backup session transcripts |
| `SessionStart` | When a session begins | Load dev context (e.g., `git status`) |
### Hook Environment Variables
| Variable | Content |
|----------|---------|
| `CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR` | Current project path |
| `CLAUDE_FILE_PATHS` | Files being modified |
| `CLAUDE_TOOL_INPUT` | Tool parameters as JSON |
### Security Hook Examples
```json
{
"PreToolUse": [{
"matcher": "Bash",
"hooks": [{"type": "command", "command": "if echo \"$CLAUDE_TOOL_INPUT\" | grep -qE 'rm -rf|git push.*--force|:(){ :|:& };:'; then echo 'Dangerous command blocked!' && exit 2; fi"}]
}]
}
```
## MCP Integration
Add external tool servers for databases, APIs, and services:
```
# GitHub integration
terminal(command="claude mcp add -s user github -- npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-github", timeout=30)
# PostgreSQL queries
terminal(command="claude mcp add -s local postgres -- npx @anthropic-ai/server-postgres --connection-string postgresql://localhost/mydb", timeout=30)
# Puppeteer for web testing
terminal(command="claude mcp add puppeteer -- npx @anthropic-ai/server-puppeteer", timeout=30)
```
### MCP Scopes
| Flag | Scope | Storage |
|------|-------|---------|
| `-s user` | Global (all projects) | `~/.claude.json` |
| `-s local` | This project (personal) | `.claude/settings.local.json` (gitignored) |
| `-s project` | This project (team-shared) | `.claude/settings.json` (git-tracked) |
### MCP in Print/CI Mode
```
terminal(command="claude --bare -p 'Query database' --mcp-config mcp-servers.json --strict-mcp-config", timeout=60)
```
`--strict-mcp-config` ignores all MCP servers except those from `--mcp-config`.
Reference MCP resources in chat: `@github:issue://123`
### MCP Limits & Tuning
- **Tool descriptions:** 2KB cap per server for tool descriptions and server instructions
- **Result size:** Default capped; use `maxResultSizeChars` annotation to allow up to **500K** characters for large outputs
- **Output tokens:** `export MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS=50000` — cap output from MCP servers to prevent context flooding
- **Transports:** `stdio` (local process), `http` (remote), `sse` (server-sent events)
## Monitoring Interactive Sessions
### Reading the TUI Status
```
# Periodic capture to check if Claude is still working or waiting for input
terminal(command="tmux capture-pane -t dev -p -S -10")
```
Look for these indicators:
- `` at bottom = waiting for your input (Claude is done or asking a question)
- `●` lines = Claude is actively using tools (reading, writing, running commands)
- `⏵⏵ bypass permissions on` = status bar showing permissions mode
- `◐ medium · /effort` = current effort level in status bar
- `ctrl+o to expand` = tool output was truncated (can be expanded interactively)
### Context Window Health
Use `/context` in interactive mode to see a colored grid of context usage. Key thresholds:
- **< 70%** — Normal operation, full precision
- **70-85%** — Precision starts dropping, consider `/compact`
- **> 85%** — Hallucination risk spikes significantly, use `/compact` or `/clear`
## Environment Variables
| Variable | Effect |
|----------|--------|
| `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` | API key for authentication (alternative to OAuth) |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL` | Default effort: `low`, `medium`, `high`, `max`, or `auto` |
| `MAX_THINKING_TOKENS` | Cap thinking tokens (set to `0` to disable thinking entirely) |
| `MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS` | Cap output from MCP servers (default varies; set e.g., `50000`) |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1` | Enable alt-screen rendering to eliminate terminal flicker |
| `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBPROCESS_ENV_SCRUB` | Strip credentials from sub-processes for security |
## Cost & Performance Tips
1. **Use `--max-turns`** in print mode to prevent runaway loops. Start with 5-10 for most tasks.
2. **Use `--max-budget-usd`** for cost caps. Note: minimum ~$0.05 for system prompt cache creation.
3. **Use `--effort low`** for simple tasks (faster, cheaper). `high` or `max` for complex reasoning.
4. **Use `--bare`** for CI/scripting to skip plugin/hook discovery overhead.
5. **Use `--allowedTools`** to restrict to only what's needed (e.g., `Read` only for reviews).
6. **Use `/compact`** in interactive sessions when context gets large.
7. **Pipe input** instead of having Claude read files when you just need analysis of known content.
8. **Use `--model haiku`** for simple tasks (cheaper) and `--model opus` for complex multi-step work.
9. **Use `--fallback-model haiku`** in print mode to gracefully handle model overload.
10. **Start new sessions for distinct tasks** — sessions last 5 hours; fresh context is more efficient.
11. **Use `--no-session-persistence`** in CI to avoid accumulating saved sessions on disk.
## Pitfalls & Gotchas
1. **Interactive mode REQUIRES tmux** — Claude Code is a full TUI app. Using `pty=true` alone in Hermes terminal works but tmux gives you `capture-pane` for monitoring and `send-keys` for input, which is essential for orchestration.
2. **`--dangerously-skip-permissions` dialog defaults to "No, exit"** — you must send Down then Enter to accept. Print mode (`-p`) skips this entirely.
3. **`--max-budget-usd` minimum is ~$0.05** — system prompt cache creation alone costs this much. Setting lower will error immediately.
4. **`--max-turns` is print-mode only** — ignored in interactive sessions.
5. **Claude may use `python` instead of `python3`** — on systems without a `python` symlink, Claude's bash commands will fail on first try but it self-corrects.
6. **Session resumption requires same directory**`--continue` finds the most recent session for the current working directory.
7. **`--json-schema` needs enough `--max-turns`** — Claude must read files before producing structured output, which takes multiple turns.
8. **Trust dialog only appears once per directory** — first-time only, then cached.
9. **Background tmux sessions persist** — always clean up with `tmux kill-session -t <name>` when done.
10. **Slash commands (like `/commit`) only work in interactive mode** — in `-p` mode, describe the task in natural language instead.
11. **`--bare` skips OAuth** — requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` env var or an `apiKeyHelper` in settings.
12. **Context degradation is real** — AI output quality measurably degrades above 70% context window usage. Monitor with `/context` and proactively `/compact`.
## Rules for Hermes Agents
1. **Prefer print mode (`-p`) for single tasks** — cleaner, no dialog handling, structured output
2. **Use tmux for multi-turn interactive work** — the only reliable way to orchestrate the TUI
3. **Always set `workdir`** — keep Claude focused on the right project directory
4. **Set `--max-turns` in print mode** — prevents infinite loops and runaway costs
5. **Monitor tmux sessions** — use `tmux capture-pane -t <session> -p -S -50` to check progress
6. **Look for the `` prompt** — indicates Claude is waiting for input (done or asking a question)
7. **Clean up tmux sessions** — kill them when done to avoid resource leaks
8. **Report results to user** — after completion, summarize what Claude did and what changed
9. **Don't kill slow sessions** — Claude may be doing multi-step work; check progress instead
10. **Use `--allowedTools`** — restrict capabilities to what the task actually needs

# Popular Web Designs
54 real-world design systems ready for use when generating HTML/CSS. Each template captures a
site's complete visual language: color palette, typography hierarchy, component styles, spacing
system, shadows, responsive behavior, and practical agent prompts with exact CSS values.
## How to Use
1. Pick a design from the catalog below
2. Load it: `skill_view(name="popular-web-designs", file_path="templates/<site>.md")`
3. Use the design tokens and component specs when generating HTML
4. Pair with the `generative-widgets` skill to serve the result via cloudflared tunnel
Each template includes a **Hermes Implementation Notes** block at the top with:
- CDN font substitute and Google Fonts `<link>` tag (ready to paste)
- CSS font-family stacks for primary and monospace
- Reminders to use `write_file` for HTML creation and `browser_vision` for verification
## HTML Generation Pattern
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Page Title</title>
<!-- Paste the Google Fonts <link> from the template's Hermes notes -->
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=..." rel="stylesheet">
<style>
/* Apply the template's color palette as CSS custom properties */
:root {
--color-bg: #ffffff;
--color-text: #171717;
--color-accent: #533afd;
/* ... more from template Section 2 */
}
/* Apply typography from template Section 3 */
body {
font-family: 'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif;
color: var(--color-text);
background: var(--color-bg);
}
/* Apply component styles from template Section 4 */
/* Apply layout from template Section 5 */
/* Apply shadows from template Section 6 */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Build using component specs from the template -->
</body>
</html>
```
Write the file with `write_file`, serve with the `generative-widgets` workflow (cloudflared tunnel),
and verify the result with `browser_vision` to confirm visual accuracy.
## Font Substitution Reference
Most sites use proprietary fonts unavailable via CDN. Each template maps to a Google Fonts
substitute that preserves the design's character. Common mappings:
| Proprietary Font | CDN Substitute | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Geist / Geist Sans | Geist (on Google Fonts) | Geometric, compressed tracking |
| Geist Mono | Geist Mono (on Google Fonts) | Clean monospace, ligatures |
| sohne-var (Stripe) | Source Sans 3 | Light weight elegance |
| Berkeley Mono | JetBrains Mono | Technical monospace |
| Airbnb Cereal VF | DM Sans | Rounded, friendly geometric |
| Circular (Spotify) | DM Sans | Geometric, warm |
| figmaSans | Inter | Clean humanist |
| Pin Sans (Pinterest) | DM Sans | Friendly, rounded |
| NVIDIA-EMEA | Inter (or Arial system) | Industrial, clean |
| CoinbaseDisplay/Sans | DM Sans | Geometric, trustworthy |
| UberMove | DM Sans | Bold, tight |
| HashiCorp Sans | Inter | Enterprise, neutral |
| waldenburgNormal (Sanity) | Space Grotesk | Geometric, slightly condensed |
| IBM Plex Sans/Mono | IBM Plex Sans/Mono | Available on Google Fonts |
| Rubik (Sentry) | Rubik | Available on Google Fonts |
When a template's CDN font matches the original (Inter, IBM Plex, Rubik, Geist), no
substitution loss occurs. When a substitute is used (DM Sans for Circular, Source Sans 3
for sohne-var), follow the template's weight, size, and letter-spacing values closely —
those carry more visual identity than the specific font face.

# Design System: Airbnb
> **Hermes Agent — Implementation Notes**
>
> The original site uses proprietary fonts. For self-contained HTML output, use these CDN substitutes:
> - **Primary:** `DM Sans` | **Mono:** `system monospace stack`
> - **Font stack (CSS):** `font-family: 'DM Sans', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif;`
> - **Mono stack (CSS):** `font-family: ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', 'Courier New', monospace;`

> ```
> Use `write_file` to create HTML, serve via `generative-widgets` skill (cloudflared tunnel).
> Verify visual accuracy with `browser_vision` after generating.
## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Airbnb's website is a warm, photography-forward marketplace that feels like flipping through a travel magazine where every page invites you to book. The design operates on a foundation of pure white (`#ffffff`) with the iconic Rausch Red (`#ff385c`) — named after Airbnb's first street address — serving as the singular brand accent. The result is a clean, airy canvas where listing photography, category icons, and the red CTA button are the only sources of color.
The typography uses Airbnb Cereal VF — a custom variable font that's warm and approachable, with rounded terminals that echo the brand's "belong anywhere" philosophy. The font operates in a tight weight range: 500 (medium) for most UI, 600 (semibold) for emphasis, and 700 (bold) for primary headings. Slight negative letter-spacing (-0.18px to -0.44px) on headings creates a cozy, intimate reading experience rather than the compressed efficiency of tech companies.
What distinguishes Airbnb is its palette-based token system (`--palette-*`) and multi-layered shadow approach. The primary card shadow uses a three-layer stack (`rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 2px 6px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 8px`) that creates a subtle, warm lift. Combined with generous border-radius (8px32px), circular navigation controls (50%), and a category pill bar with horizontal scrolling, the interface feels tactile and inviting — designed for browsing, not commanding.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Pure white canvas with Rausch Red (`#ff385c`) as singular brand accent
- Airbnb Cereal VF — custom variable font with warm, rounded terminals
- Palette-based token system (`--palette-*`) for systematic color management
- Three-layer card shadows: border ring + soft blur + stronger blur
- Generous border-radius: 8px buttons, 14px badges, 20px cards, 32px large elements
- Circular navigation controls (50% radius)
- Photography-first listing cards — images are the hero content
- Near-black text (`#222222`) — warm, not cold
- Luxe Purple (`#460479`) and Plus Magenta (`#92174d`) for premium tiers
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary Brand
- **Rausch Red** (`#ff385c`): `--palette-bg-primary-core`, primary CTA, brand accent, active states
- **Deep Rausch** (`#e00b41`): `--palette-bg-tertiary-core`, pressed/dark variant of brand red
- **Error Red** (`#c13515`): `--palette-text-primary-error`, error text on light
- **Error Dark** (`#b32505`): `--palette-text-secondary-error-hover`, error hover

- **Plus Magenta** (`#92174d`): `--palette-bg-primary-plus`, Airbnb Plus tier branding
### Text Scale
- **Near Black** (`#222222`): `--palette-text-primary`, primary text — warm, not cold
- **Focused Gray** (`#3f3f3f`): `--palette-text-focused`, focused state text
- **Secondary Gray** (`#6a6a6a`): Secondary text, descriptions
- **Disabled** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.24)`): `--palette-text-material-disabled`, disabled state
- **Link Disabled** (`#929292`): `--palette-text-link-disabled`, disabled links
### Interactive
- **Legal Blue** (`#428bff`): `--palette-text-legal`, legal links, informational
- **Border Gray** (`#c1c1c1`): Border color for cards and dividers
- **Light Surface** (`#f2f2f2`): Circular navigation buttons, secondary surfaces
### Surface & Shadows
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Page background, card surfaces
- **Card Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 2px 6px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 8px`): Three-layer warm lift
- **Hover Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 4px 12px`): Button hover elevation
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Airbnb Cereal VF`, fallbacks: `Circular, -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, Helvetica Neue`
- **OpenType Features**: `"salt"` (stylistic alternates) on specific caption elements
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Section Heading | Airbnb Cereal VF | 28px (1.75rem) | 700 | 1.43 | normal | Primary headings |
| Card Heading | Airbnb Cereal VF | 22px (1.38rem) | 600 | 1.18 (tight) | -0.44px | Category/card titles |
| Card Heading Medium | Airbnb Cereal VF | 22px (1.38rem) | 500 | 1.18 (tight) | -0.44px | Lighter variant |
| Sub-heading | Airbnb Cereal VF | 21px (1.31rem) | 700 | 1.43 | normal | Bold sub-headings |
| Feature Title | Airbnb Cereal VF | 20px (1.25rem) | 600 | 1.20 (tight) | -0.18px | Feature headings |
| UI Medium | Airbnb Cereal VF | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.25 (tight) | normal | Nav, emphasized text |
| UI Semibold | Airbnb Cereal VF | 16px (1.00rem) | 600 | 1.25 (tight) | normal | Strong emphasis |
| Button | Airbnb Cereal VF | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.25 (tight) | normal | Button labels |
| Body / Link | Airbnb Cereal VF | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Standard body |
| Body Medium | Airbnb Cereal VF | 14px (0.88rem) | 500 | 1.29 (tight) | normal | Medium body |
| Caption Salt | Airbnb Cereal VF | 14px (0.88rem) | 600 | 1.43 | normal | `"salt"` feature |
| Small | Airbnb Cereal VF | 13px (0.81rem) | 400 | 1.23 (tight) | normal | Descriptions |
| Tag | Airbnb Cereal VF | 12px (0.75rem) | 400700 | 1.33 | normal | Tags, prices |
| Badge | Airbnb Cereal VF | 11px (0.69rem) | 600 | 1.18 (tight) | normal | `"salt"` feature |
| Micro Uppercase | Airbnb Cereal VF | 8px (0.50rem) | 700 | 1.25 (tight) | 0.32px | `text-transform: uppercase` |
### Principles
- **Warm weight range**: 500700 dominate. No weight 300 or 400 for headings — Airbnb's type is always at least medium weight, creating a warm, confident voice.
- **Negative tracking on headings**: -0.18px to -0.44px letter-spacing on display creates intimate, cozy headings rather than cold, compressed ones.
- **"salt" OpenType feature**: Stylistic alternates on specific UI elements (badges, captions) create subtle glyph variations that add visual interest.
- **Variable font precision**: Cereal VF enables continuous weight interpolation, though the design system uses discrete stops at 500, 600, and 700.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Primary Dark**
- Background: `#222222` (near-black, not pure black)
- Text: `#ffffff`
- Padding: 0px 24px
- Radius: 8px
- Hover: transitions to error/brand accent via `var(--accent-bg-error)`
- Focus: `0 0 0 2px var(--palette-grey1000)` ring + scale(0.92)
**Circular Nav**
- Background: `#f2f2f2`
- Text: `#222222`
- Radius: 50% (circle)
- Hover: shadow `rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 4px 12px` + translateX(50%)
- Active: 4px white border ring + focus shadow
- Focus: scale(0.92) shrink animation
### Cards & Containers
- Background: `#ffffff`
- Radius: 14px (badges), 20px (cards/buttons), 32px (large)
- Shadow: `rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 2px 6px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 8px` (three-layer)
- Listing cards: full-width photography on top, details below
- Carousel controls: circular 50% buttons
### Inputs
- Search: `#222222` text
- Focus: `var(--palette-bg-primary-error)` background tint + `0 0 0 2px` ring
- Radius: depends on context (search bar uses pill-like rounding)
### Navigation
- White sticky header with search bar centered
- Airbnb logo (Rausch Red) left-aligned
- Category filter pills: horizontal scroll below search
- Circular nav controls for carousel navigation
- "Become a Host" text link, avatar/menu right-aligned
### Image Treatment
- Listing photography fills card top with generous height
- Image carousel with dot indicators
- Heart/wishlist icon overlay on images
- 8px14px radius on contained images
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 15px, 16px, 22px, 24px, 32px
### Grid & Container
- Full-width header with centered search
- Category pill bar: horizontal scrollable row
- Listing grid: responsive multi-column (35 columns on desktop)
- Full-width footer with link columns
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Travel-magazine spacing**: Generous vertical padding between sections creates a leisurely browsing pace — you're meant to scroll slowly, like browsing a magazine.
- **Photography density**: Listing cards are packed relatively tightly, but each image is large enough to feel immersive.
- **Search bar prominence**: The search bar gets maximum vertical space in the header — finding your destination is the primary action.
### Border Radius Scale
- Subtle (4px): Small links
- Standard (8px): Buttons, tabs, search elements
- Badge (14px): Status badges, labels
- Card (20px): Feature cards, large buttons
- Large (32px): Large containers, hero elements
- Circle (50%): Nav controls, avatars, icons
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page background, text blocks |
| Card (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 2px 6px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 8px` | Listing cards, search bar |
| Hover (Level 2) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 4px 12px` | Button hover, interactive lift |
| Active Focus (Level 3) | `rgb(255,255,255) 0px 0px 0px 4px` + focus ring | Active/focused elements |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Airbnb's three-layer shadow system creates a warm, natural lift. Layer 1 (`0px 0px 0px 1px` at 0.02 opacity) is an ultra-subtle border. Layer 2 (`0px 2px 6px` at 0.04) provides soft ambient shadow. Layer 3 (`0px 4px 8px` at 0.1) adds the primary lift. This graduated approach creates shadows that feel like natural light rather than CSS effects.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use `#222222` (warm near-black) for text — never pure `#000000`
- Apply Rausch Red (`#ff385c`) only for primary CTAs and brand moments — it's the singular accent
- Use Airbnb Cereal VF at weight 500700 — the warm weight range is intentional
- Apply the three-layer card shadow for all elevated surfaces
- Use generous border-radius: 8px for buttons, 20px for cards, 50% for controls
- Use photography as the primary visual content — listings are image-first
- Apply negative letter-spacing (-0.18px to -0.44px) on headings for intimacy
- Use circular (50%) buttons for carousel/navigation controls
### Don't
- Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for text — always `#222222` (warm)
- Don't apply Rausch Red to backgrounds or large surfaces — it's an accent only
- Don't use thin font weights (300, 400) for headings — 500 minimum
- Don't use heavy shadows (>0.1 opacity as primary layer) — keep them warm and graduated
- Don't use sharp corners (04px) on cards — the generous rounding (20px+) is core
- Don't introduce additional brand colors beyond the Rausch/Luxe/Plus system
- Don't override the palette token system — use `--palette-*` variables consistently
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <375px | Single column, compact search |
| Mobile | 375550px | Standard mobile listing grid |
| Tablet Small | 550744px | 2-column listings |
| Tablet | 744950px | Search bar expansion |
| Desktop Small | 9501128px | 3-column listings |
| Desktop | 11281440px | 4-column grid, full header |
| Large Desktop | 14401920px | 5-column grid |
| Ultra-wide | >1920px | Maximum grid width |
*Note: Airbnb has 61 detected breakpoints — one of the most granular responsive systems observed, reflecting their obsession with layout at every possible screen size.*
### Touch Targets
- Circular nav buttons: adequate 50% radius sizing
- Listing cards: full-card tap target on mobile
- Search bar: prominently sized for thumb interaction
- Category pills: horizontally scrollable with generous padding
### Collapsing Strategy
- Listing grid: 5 → 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 columns
- Search: expanded bar → compact bar → overlay
- Category pills: horizontal scroll at all sizes
- Navigation: full header → mobile simplified
- Map: side panel → overlay/toggle
### Image Behavior
- Listing photos: carousel with swipe on mobile
- Responsive image sizing with aspect ratio maintained
- Heart overlay positioned consistently across sizes
- Photo quality adjusts based on viewport

### Iteration Guide
1. Start with white — the photography provides all the color
2. Rausch Red (#ff385c) is the singular accent — use sparingly for CTAs only
3. Near-black (#222222) for text — the warmth matters
4. Three-layer shadows create natural, warm lift — always use all three layers
5. Generous radius: 8px buttons, 20px cards, 50% controls
6. Cereal VF at 500700 weight — no thin weights for any heading
7. Photography is hero — every listing card is image-first

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Apple's website is a masterclass in controlled drama — vast expanses of pure black and near-white serve as cinematic backdrops for products that are photographed as if they were sculptures in a gallery. The design philosophy is reductive to its core: every pixel exists in service of the product, and the interface itself retreats until it becomes invisible. This is not minimalism as aesthetic preference; it is minimalism as reverence for the object.
The typography anchors everything. San Francisco (SF Pro Display for large sizes, SF Pro Text for body) is Apple's proprietary typeface, engineered with optical sizing that automatically adjusts letterforms depending on point size. At display sizes (56px), weight 600 with a tight line-height of 1.07 and subtle negative letter-spacing (-0.28px) creates headlines that feel machined rather than typeset — precise, confident, and unapologetically direct. At body sizes (17px), the tracking loosens slightly (-0.374px) and line-height opens to 1.47, creating a reading rhythm that is comfortable without ever feeling slack.
The color story is starkly binary. Product sections alternate between pure black (`#000000`) backgrounds with white text and light gray (`#f5f5f7`) backgrounds with near-black text (`#1d1d1f`). This creates a cinematic pacing — dark sections feel immersive and premium, light sections feel open and informational. The only chromatic accent is Apple Blue (`#0071e3`), reserved exclusively for interactive elements: links, buttons, and focus states. This singular accent color in a sea of neutrals gives every clickable element unmistakable visibility.
**Key Characteristics:**
- SF Pro Display/Text with optical sizing — letterforms adapt automatically to size context
- Binary light/dark section rhythm: black (`#000000`) alternating with light gray (`#f5f5f7`)
- Single accent color: Apple Blue (`#0071e3`) reserved exclusively for interactive elements
- Product-as-hero photography on solid color fields — no gradients, no textures, no distractions
- Extremely tight headline line-heights (1.07-1.14) creating compressed, billboard-like impact
- Full-width section layout with centered content — the viewport IS the canvas
- Pill-shaped CTAs (980px radius) creating soft, approachable action buttons
- Generous whitespace between sections allowing each product moment to breathe
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Hero section backgrounds, immersive product showcases. The darkest canvas for the brightest products.
- **Light Gray** (`#f5f5f7`): Alternate section backgrounds, informational areas. Not white — the slight blue-gray tint prevents sterility.
- **Near Black** (`#1d1d1f`): Primary text on light backgrounds, dark button fills. Slightly warmer than pure black for comfortable reading.
### Interactive
- **Apple Blue** (`#0071e3`): `--sk-focus-color`, primary CTA backgrounds, focus rings. The ONLY chromatic color in the interface.
- **Link Blue** (`#0066cc`): `--sk-body-link-color`, inline text links. Slightly darker than Apple Blue for text-level readability.
- **Bright Blue** (`#2997ff`): Links on dark backgrounds. Higher luminance for contrast on black sections.
### Text
- **White** (`#ffffff`): Text on dark backgrounds, button text on blue/dark CTAs.
- **Near Black** (`#1d1d1f`): Primary body text on light backgrounds.
- **Black 80%** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)`): Secondary text, nav items on light backgrounds. Slightly softened.
- **Black 48%** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.48)`): Tertiary text, disabled states, carousel controls.
### Surface & Dark Variants
- **Dark Surface 1** (`#272729`): Card backgrounds in dark sections.
- **Dark Surface 2** (`#262628`): Subtle surface variation in dark contexts.
- **Dark Surface 3** (`#28282a`): Elevated cards on dark backgrounds.
- **Dark Surface 4** (`#2a2a2d`): Highest dark surface elevation.
- **Dark Surface 5** (`#242426`): Deepest dark surface tone.
### Button States
- **Button Active** (`#ededf2`): Active/pressed state for light buttons.
- **Button Default Light** (`#fafafc`): Search/filter button backgrounds.
- **Overlay** (`rgba(210, 210, 215, 0.64)`): Media control scrims, overlays.
- **White 32%** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.32)`): Hover state on dark modal close buttons.
### Shadows
- **Card Shadow** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22) 3px 5px 30px 0px`): Soft, diffused elevation for product cards. Offset and wide blur create a natural, photographic shadow.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Display**: `SF Pro Display`, with fallbacks: `SF Pro Icons, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif`
- **Body**: `SF Pro Text`, with fallbacks: `SF Pro Icons, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif`
- SF Pro Display is used at 20px and above; SF Pro Text is optimized for 19px and below.
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | SF Pro Display | 56px (3.50rem) | 600 | 1.07 (tight) | -0.28px | Product launch headlines, maximum impact |
| Section Heading | SF Pro Display | 40px (2.50rem) | 600 | 1.10 (tight) | normal | Feature section titles |

| Sub-nav | SF Pro Text | 24px (1.50rem) | 300 | 1.50 | normal | Light sub-navigation text |
| Body | SF Pro Text | 17px (1.06rem) | 400 | 1.47 | -0.374px | Standard reading text |
| Body Emphasis | SF Pro Text | 17px (1.06rem) | 600 | 1.24 (tight) | -0.374px | Emphasized body text, labels |
| Button Large | SF Pro Text | 18px (1.13rem) | 300 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Large button text, light weight |
| Button | SF Pro Text | 17px (1.06rem) | 400 | 2.41 (relaxed) | normal | Standard button text |
| Link | SF Pro Text | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | -0.224px | Body links, "Learn more" |
| Caption | SF Pro Text | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.29 (tight) | -0.224px | Secondary text, descriptions |
| Caption Bold | SF Pro Text | 14px (0.88rem) | 600 | 1.29 (tight) | -0.224px | Emphasized captions |
| Micro | SF Pro Text | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.33 | -0.12px | Fine print, footnotes |
| Micro Bold | SF Pro Text | 12px (0.75rem) | 600 | 1.33 | -0.12px | Bold fine print |
| Nano | SF Pro Text | 10px (0.63rem) | 400 | 1.47 | -0.08px | Legal text, smallest size |
### Principles
- **Optical sizing as philosophy**: SF Pro automatically switches between Display and Text optical sizes. Display versions have wider letter spacing and thinner strokes optimized for large sizes; Text versions are tighter and sturdier for small sizes. This means the font literally changes its DNA based on context.
- **Weight restraint**: The scale spans 300 (light) to 700 (bold) but most text lives at 400 (regular) and 600 (semibold). Weight 300 appears only on large decorative text. Weight 700 is rare, used only for bold card titles.
- **Negative tracking at all sizes**: Unlike most systems that only track headlines, Apple applies subtle negative letter-spacing even at body sizes (-0.374px at 17px, -0.224px at 14px, -0.12px at 12px). This creates universally tight, efficient text.
- **Extreme line-height range**: Headlines compress to 1.07 while body text opens to 1.47, and some button contexts stretch to 2.41. This dramatic range creates clear visual hierarchy through rhythm alone.

- Border: none (borders are rare in Apple's system)
- Radius: 5px-8px
- Shadow: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22) 3px 5px 30px 0px` for elevated product cards
- Content: centered, generous padding
- Hover: no standard hover state — cards are static, links within them are interactive
### Navigation
- Background: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)` (translucent dark) with `backdrop-filter: saturate(180%) blur(20px)`
- Height: 48px (compact)
- Text: `#ffffff` at 12px, weight 400
- Active: underline on hover
- Logo: Apple logomark (SVG) centered or left-aligned, 17x48px viewport
- Mobile: collapses to hamburger with full-screen overlay menu
- The nav floats above content, maintaining its dark translucent glass regardless of section background
### Image Treatment
- Products on solid-color fields (black or white) — no backgrounds, no context, just the object
- Full-bleed section images that span the entire viewport width
- Product photography at extremely high resolution with subtle shadows
- Lifestyle images confined to rounded-corner containers (12px+ radius)
### Distinctive Components
**Product Hero Module**
- Full-viewport-width section with solid background (black or `#f5f5f7`)
- Product name as the primary headline (SF Pro Display, 56px, weight 600)
- One-line descriptor below in lighter weight
- Two pill CTAs side by side: "Learn more" (outline) and "Buy" / "Shop" (filled)
**Product Grid Tile**
- Square or near-square card on contrasting background
- Product image dominating 60-70% of the tile
- Product name + one-line description below
- "Learn more" and "Shop" link pair at bottom
**Feature Comparison Strip**
- Horizontal scroll of product variants
- Each variant as a vertical card with image, name, and key specs
- Minimal chrome — the products speak for themselves
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 14px, 15px, 17px, 20px, 24px
- Notable characteristic: the scale is dense at small sizes (2-11px) with granular 1px increments, then jumps in larger steps. This allows precise micro-adjustments for typography and icon alignment.
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 980px (the recurring "980px radius" in pill buttons echoes this width)
- Hero: full-viewport-width sections with centered content block
- Product grids: 2-3 column layouts within centered container
- Single-column for hero moments — one product, one message, full attention
- No visible grid lines or gutters — spacing creates implied structure
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Cinematic breathing room**: Each product section occupies a full viewport height (or close to it). The whitespace between products is not empty — it is the pause between scenes in a film.
- **Vertical rhythm through color blocks**: Rather than using spacing alone to separate sections, Apple uses alternating background colors (black, `#f5f5f7`, white). Each color change signals a new "scene."
- **Compression within, expansion between**: Text blocks are tightly set (negative letter-spacing, tight line-heights) while the space surrounding them is vast. This creates a tension between density and openness.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (5px): Small containers, link tags
- Standard (8px): Buttons, product cards, image containers
- Comfortable (11px): Search inputs, filter buttons
- Large (12px): Feature panels, lifestyle image containers
- Full Pill (980px): CTA links ("Learn more", "Shop"), navigation pills
- Circle (50%): Media controls (play/pause, arrows)
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, solid background | Standard content sections, text blocks |
| Navigation Glass | `backdrop-filter: saturate(180%) blur(20px)` on `rgba(0,0,0,0.8)` | Sticky navigation bar — the glass effect |
| Subtle Lift (Level 1) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.22) 3px 5px 30px 0px` | Product cards, floating elements |
| Media Control | `rgba(210, 210, 215, 0.64)` background with scale transforms | Play/pause buttons, carousel controls |
| Focus (Accessibility) | `2px solid #0071e3` outline | Keyboard focus on all interactive elements |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Apple uses shadow extremely sparingly. The primary shadow (`3px 5px 30px` with 0.22 opacity) is soft, wide, and offset — mimicking a diffused studio light casting a natural shadow beneath a physical object. This reinforces the "product as physical sculpture" metaphor. Most elements have NO shadow at all; elevation comes from background color contrast (dark card on darker background, or light card on slightly different gray).
### Decorative Depth
- Navigation glass: the translucent, blurred navigation bar is the most recognizable depth element, creating a sense of floating UI above scrolling content
- Section color transitions: depth is implied by the alternation between black and light gray sections rather than by shadows
- Product photography shadows: the products themselves cast shadows in their photography, so the UI doesn't need to add synthetic ones
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use SF Pro Display at 20px+ and SF Pro Text below 20px — respect the optical sizing boundary
- Apply negative letter-spacing at all text sizes (not just headlines) — Apple tracks tight universally
- Use Apple Blue (`#0071e3`) ONLY for interactive elements — it must be the singular accent
- Alternate between black and light gray (`#f5f5f7`) section backgrounds for cinematic rhythm
- Use 980px pill radius for CTA links — the signature Apple link shape
- Keep product imagery on solid-color fields with no competing visual elements
- Use the translucent dark glass (`rgba(0,0,0,0.8)` + blur) for sticky navigation
- Compress headline line-heights to 1.07-1.14 — Apple headlines are famously tight
### Don't
- Don't introduce additional accent colors — the entire chromatic budget is spent on blue
- Don't use heavy shadows or multiple shadow layers — Apple's shadow system is one soft diffused shadow or nothing
- Don't use borders on cards or containers — Apple almost never uses visible borders (except on specific buttons)
- Don't apply wide letter-spacing to SF Pro — it is designed to run tight at every size
- Don't use weight 800 or 900 — the maximum is 700 (bold), and even that is rare
- Don't add textures, patterns, or gradients to backgrounds — solid colors only
- Don't make the navigation opaque — the glass blur effect is essential to the Apple UI identity
- Don't center-align body text — Apple body copy is left-aligned; only headlines center
- Don't use rounded corners larger than 12px on rectangular elements (980px is for pills only)
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Small Mobile | <360px | Minimum supported, single column |
| Mobile | 360-480px | Standard mobile layout |
| Mobile Large | 480-640px | Wider single column, larger images |
| Tablet Small | 640-834px | 2-column product grids begin |
| Tablet | 834-1024px | Full tablet layout, expanded nav |
| Desktop Small | 1024-1070px | Standard desktop layout begins |
| Desktop | 1070-1440px | Full layout, max content width |
| Large Desktop | >1440px | Centered with generous margins |
### Touch Targets
- Primary CTAs: 8px 15px padding creating ~44px touch height
- Navigation links: 48px height with adequate spacing
- Media controls: 50% radius circular buttons, minimum 44x44px
- "Learn more" pills: generous padding for comfortable tapping
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero headlines: 56px Display → 40px → 28px on mobile, maintaining tight line-height proportionally
- Product grids: 3-column → 2-column → single column stacked
- Navigation: full horizontal nav → compact mobile menu (hamburger)
- Product hero modules: full-bleed maintained at all sizes, text scales down
- Section backgrounds: maintain full-width color blocks at all breakpoints — the cinematic rhythm never breaks
- Image sizing: products scale proportionally, never crop — the product silhouette is sacred
### Image Behavior
- Product photography maintains aspect ratio at all breakpoints
- Hero product images scale down but stay centered
- Full-bleed section backgrounds persist at every size
- Lifestyle images may crop on mobile but maintain their rounded corners
- Lazy loading for below-fold product images

- "Create a hero section on black background. Headline at 56px SF Pro Display weight 600, line-height 1.07, letter-spacing -0.28px, color white. One-line subtitle at 21px SF Pro Display weight 400, line-height 1.19, color white. Two pill CTAs: 'Learn more' (transparent bg, white text, 1px solid white border, 980px radius) and 'Buy' (Apple Blue #0071e3 bg, white text, 8px radius, 8px 15px padding)."
- "Design a product card: #f5f5f7 background, 8px border-radius, no border, no shadow. Product image top 60% of card on solid background. Title at 28px SF Pro Display weight 400, letter-spacing 0.196px, line-height 1.14. Description at 14px SF Pro Text weight 400, color rgba(0,0,0,0.8). 'Learn more' and 'Shop' links in #0066cc at 14px."
- "Build the Apple navigation: sticky, 48px height, background rgba(0,0,0,0.8) with backdrop-filter: saturate(180%) blur(20px). Links at 12px SF Pro Text weight 400, white text. Apple logo left, links centered, search and bag icons right."
- "Create an alternating section layout: first section black bg with white text and centered product image, second section #f5f5f7 bg with #1d1d1f text. Each section near full-viewport height with 56px headline and two pill CTAs below."
- "Design a 'Learn more' link: text #0066cc on light bg or #2997ff on dark bg, 14px SF Pro Text, underline on hover. After the text, include a right-arrow chevron character (>). Wrap in a container with 980px border-radius for pill shape when used as a standalone CTA."
### Iteration Guide
1. Every interactive element gets Apple Blue (`#0071e3`) — no other accent colors
2. Section backgrounds alternate: black for immersive moments, `#f5f5f7` for informational moments
3. Typography optical sizing: SF Pro Display at 20px+, SF Pro Text below — never mix
4. Negative letter-spacing at all sizes: -0.28px at 56px, -0.374px at 17px, -0.224px at 14px, -0.12px at 12px
5. The navigation glass effect (translucent dark + blur) is non-negotiable — it defines the Apple web experience
6. Products always appear on solid color fields — never on gradients, textures, or lifestyle backgrounds in hero modules
7. Shadow is rare and always soft: `3px 5px 30px 0.22 opacity` or nothing at all
8. Pill CTAs use 980px radius — this creates the signature Apple rounded-rectangle-that-looks-like-a-capsule shape

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
BMW's website is automotive engineering made visual — a design system that communicates precision, performance, and German industrial confidence. The page alternates between deep dark hero sections (featuring full-bleed automotive photography) and clean white content areas, creating a cinematic rhythm reminiscent of a luxury car showroom where vehicles are lit against darkness. The BMW CI2020 design language (their corporate identity refresh) defines every element.
The typography is built on BMWTypeNextLatin — a proprietary typeface in two variants: BMWTypeNextLatin Light (weight 300) for massive uppercase display headings, and BMWTypeNextLatin Regular for body and UI text. The 60px uppercase headline at weight 300 is the defining typographic gesture — light-weight type that whispers authority rather than shouting it. The fallback stack includes Helvetica and Japanese fonts (Hiragino, Meiryo), reflecting BMW's global presence.
What makes BMW distinctive is its CSS variable-driven theming system. Context-aware variables (`--site-context-highlight-color: #1c69d4`, `--site-context-focus-color: #0653b6`, `--site-context-metainfo-color: #757575`) suggest a design system built for multi-brand, multi-context deployment where colors can be swapped globally. The blue highlight color (`#1c69d4`) is BMW's signature blue — used sparingly for interactive elements and focus states, never decoratively. Zero border-radius was detected — BMW's design is angular, sharp-cornered, and uncompromisingly geometric.
**Key Characteristics:**
- BMWTypeNextLatin Light (weight 300) uppercase for display — whispered authority
- BMW Blue (`#1c69d4`) as singular accent — used only for interactive elements
- Zero border-radius detected — angular, sharp-cornered, industrial geometry
- Dark hero photography + white content sections — showroom lighting rhythm
- CSS variable-driven theming: `--site-context-*` tokens for brand flexibility
- Weight 900 for navigation emphasis — extreme contrast with 300 display
- Tight line-heights (1.151.30) throughout — compressed, efficient, German engineering
- Full-bleed automotive photography as primary visual content
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary Brand
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): `--site-context-theme-color`, primary surface, card backgrounds
- **BMW Blue** (`#1c69d4`): `--site-context-highlight-color`, primary interactive accent
- **BMW Focus Blue** (`#0653b6`): `--site-context-focus-color`, keyboard focus and active states
### Neutral Scale
- **Near Black** (`#262626`): Primary text on light surfaces, dark link text
- **Meta Gray** (`#757575`): `--site-context-metainfo-color`, secondary text, metadata
- **Silver** (`#bbbbbb`): Tertiary text, muted links, footer elements
### Interactive States
- All links hover to white (`#ffffff`) — suggesting primarily dark-surface navigation
- Text links use underline: none on hover — clean interaction
### Shadows
- Minimal shadow system — depth through photography and dark/light section contrast
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Families
- **Display Light**: `BMWTypeNextLatin Light`, fallbacks: `Helvetica, Arial, Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN, Hiragino Sans, Meiryo`
- **Body / UI**: `BMWTypeNextLatin`, same fallback stack
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|-------|
| Display Hero | BMWTypeNextLatin Light | 60px (3.75rem) | 300 | 1.30 (tight) | `text-transform: uppercase` |
| Section Heading | BMWTypeNextLatin | 32px (2.00rem) | 400 | 1.30 (tight) | Major section titles |
| Nav Emphasis | BMWTypeNextLatin | 18px (1.13rem) | 900 | 1.30 (tight) | Navigation bold items |
| Body | BMWTypeNextLatin | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.15 (tight) | Standard body text |
| Button Bold | BMWTypeNextLatin | 16px (1.00rem) | 700 | 1.202.88 | CTA buttons |
| Button | BMWTypeNextLatin | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.15 (tight) | Standard buttons |
### Principles
- **Light display, heavy navigation**: Weight 300 for hero headlines creates whispered elegance; weight 900 for navigation creates stark authority. This extreme weight contrast (300 vs 900) is the signature typographic tension.
- **Universal uppercase display**: The 60px hero is always uppercase — creating a monumental, architectural quality.
- **Tight everything**: Line-heights from 1.15 to 1.30 across the entire system. Nothing breathes — every line is compressed, efficient, German-engineered.
- **Single font family**: BMWTypeNextLatin handles everything from 60px display to 16px body — unity through one typeface at different weights.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
- Text: 16px BMWTypeNextLatin, weight 700 for primary, 400 for secondary
- Line-height: 1.152.88 (large variation suggests padding-driven sizing)
- Border: white bottom-border on dark surfaces (`1px solid #ffffff`)
- No border-radius — sharp rectangular buttons
### Cards & Containers
- No border-radius — all containers are sharp-cornered rectangles
- White backgrounds on light sections
- Dark backgrounds for hero/feature sections
- No visible borders on most elements
### Navigation
- BMWTypeNextLatin 18px weight 900 for primary nav links
- White text on dark header
- BMW logo 54x54px
- Hover: remains white, text-decoration none
- "Home" text link in header
### Image Treatment
- Full-bleed automotive photography
- Dark cinematic lighting
- Edge-to-edge hero images
- Car photography as primary visual content
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 5px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 15px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 30px, 32px, 40px, 45px, 56px, 60px
### Grid & Container
- Full-width hero photography
- Centered content sections
- Footer: multi-column link grid
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Showroom pacing**: Dark hero sections with generous padding create the feeling of walking through a showroom where each vehicle is spotlit in its own space.
- **Compressed content**: Body text areas use tight line-heights and compact spacing — information-dense, no waste.
### Border Radius Scale
- **None detected.** BMW uses sharp corners exclusively — every element is a precise rectangle. This is the most angular design system analyzed.
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Photography (Level 0) | Full-bleed dark imagery | Hero backgrounds |
| Flat (Level 1) | White surface, no shadow | Content sections |
| Focus (Accessibility) | BMW Focus Blue (`#0653b6`) | Focus states |
**Shadow Philosophy**: BMW uses virtually no shadows. Depth is created entirely through the contrast between dark photographic sections and white content sections — the automotive lighting does the elevation work.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use BMWTypeNextLatin Light (300) uppercase for all display headings
- Keep ALL corners sharp (0px radius) — angular geometry is non-negotiable
- Use BMW Blue (`#1c69d4`) only for interactive elements — never decoratively
- Apply weight 900 for navigation emphasis — the extreme weight contrast is intentional
- Use full-bleed automotive photography for hero sections
- Keep line-heights tight (1.151.30) throughout
- Use `--site-context-*` CSS variables for theming
### Don't
- Don't round corners — zero radius is the BMW identity
- Don't use BMW Blue for backgrounds or large surfaces — it's an accent only
- Don't use medium font weights (500600) — the system uses 300, 400, 700, 900 extremes
- Don't add decorative elements — the photography and typography carry everything
- Don't use relaxed line-heights — BMW text is always compressed
- Don't lighten the dark hero sections — the contrast with white IS the design
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <375px | Minimum supported |
| Mobile | 375480px | Single column |
| Mobile Large | 480640px | Slight adjustments |
| Tablet Small | 640768px | 2-column begins |
| Tablet | 768920px | Standard tablet |
| Desktop Small | 9201024px | Desktop layout begins |
| Desktop | 10241280px | Standard desktop |
| Large Desktop | 12801440px | Expanded |
| Ultra-wide | 14401600px | Maximum layout |
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 60px → scales down, maintains uppercase
- Navigation: horizontal → hamburger
- Photography: full-bleed maintained at all sizes
- Content sections: stack vertically
- Footer: multi-column → stacked

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Cal.com's website is a masterclass in monochromatic restraint — a grayscale world where boldness comes not from color but from the sheer confidence of black text on white space. Inspired by Uber's minimal aesthetic, the palette is deliberately stripped of hue: near-black headings (`#242424`), mid-gray secondary text (`#898989`), and pure white surfaces. Color is treated as a foreign substance — when it appears (a rare blue link, a green trust badge), it feels like a controlled accent in an otherwise black-and-white photograph.
Cal Sans, the brand's custom geometric display typeface designed by Mark Davis, is the visual centerpiece. Letters are intentionally spaced extremely close at large sizes, creating dense, architectural headlines that feel like they're carved into the page. At 64px and 48px, Cal Sans headings sit at weight 600 with a tight 1.10 line-height — confident, compressed, and immediately recognizable. For body text, the system switches to Inter, providing "rock-solid" readability that complements Cal Sans's display personality. The typography pairing creates a clear division: Cal Sans speaks, Inter explains.
The elevation system is notably sophisticated for a minimal site — 11 shadow definitions create a nuanced depth hierarchy using multi-layered shadows that combine ring borders (`0px 0px 0px 1px`), soft diffused shadows, and inset highlights. This shadow-first approach to depth (rather than border-first) gives surfaces a subtle three-dimensionality that feels modern and polished. Built on Framer with a border-radius scale from 2px to 9999px (pill), Cal.com balances geometric precision with soft, rounded interactive elements.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Purely grayscale brand palette — no brand colors, boldness through monochrome
- Cal Sans custom geometric display font with extremely tight default letter-spacing
- Multi-layered shadow system (11 definitions) with ring borders + diffused shadows + inset highlights
- Cal Sans for headings, Inter for body — clean typographic division
- Wide border-radius scale from 2px to 9999px (pill) — versatile rounding
- White canvas with near-black (#242424) text — maximum contrast, zero decoration
- Product screenshots as primary visual content — the scheduling UI sells itself
- Built on Framer platform
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Charcoal** (`#242424`): Primary heading and button text — Cal.com's signature near-black, warmer than pure black
- **Midnight** (`#111111`): Deepest text/overlay color — used at 50% opacity for subtle overlays
- **White** (`#ffffff`): Primary background and surface — the dominant canvas
### Secondary & Accent
- **Link Blue** (`#0099ff`): In-text links with underline decoration — the only blue in the system, reserved strictly for hyperlinks
- **Focus Ring** (`#3b82f6` at 50% opacity): Keyboard focus indicator — accessibility-only, invisible in normal interaction
- **Default Link** (`#0000ee`): Browser-default link color on some elements — unmodified, signaling openness
### Surface & Background
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary page background and card surfaces
- **Light Gray** (approx `#f5f5f5`): Subtle section differentiation — barely visible tint
- **Mid Gray** (`#898989`): Secondary text, descriptions, and muted labels
### Neutrals & Text
- **Charcoal** (`#242424`): Headlines, buttons, primary UI text
- **Midnight** (`#111111`): Deep black for high-contrast links and nav text
- **Mid Gray** (`#898989`): Descriptions, secondary labels, muted content
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Certain link text elements
- **Border Gray** (approx `rgba(34, 42, 53, 0.080.10)`): Shadow-based borders using ring shadows instead of CSS borders
### Semantic & Accent
- Cal.com is deliberately colorless for brand elements — "a grayscale brand to emphasise on boldness and professionalism"
- Product UI screenshots show color (blues, greens in the scheduling interface), but the marketing site itself stays monochrome
- The philosophy mirrors Uber's approach: let the content carry color, the frame stays neutral
### Gradient System
- No gradients on the marketing site — the design is fully flat and monochrome
- Depth is achieved entirely through shadows, not color transitions
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Display**: `Cal Sans` — custom geometric sans-serif by Mark Davis. Open-source, available on Google Fonts and GitHub. Extremely tight default letter-spacing designed for large headlines. Has 6 character variants (Cc, j, t, u, 0, 1)
- **Body**: `Inter` — "rock-solid" standard body font. Fallback: `Inter Placeholder`
- **UI Light**: `Cal Sans UI Variable Light` — light-weight variant (300) for softer UI text with -0.2px letter-spacing
- **UI Medium**: `Cal Sans UI Medium` — medium-weight variant (500) for emphasized captions
- **Mono**: `Roboto Mono` — for code blocks and technical content
- **Tertiary**: `Matter Regular` / `Matter SemiBold` / `Matter Medium` — additional body fonts for specific contexts
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Cal Sans | 64px | 600 | 1.10 | 0px | Maximum impact, tight default spacing |
| Section Heading | Cal Sans | 48px | 600 | 1.10 | 0px | Large section titles |
| Feature Heading | Cal Sans | 24px | 600 | 1.30 | 0px | Feature block headlines |
| Sub-heading | Cal Sans | 20px | 600 | 1.20 | +0.2px | Positive spacing for readability at smaller size |
| Sub-heading Alt | Cal Sans | 20px | 600 | 1.50 | 0px | Relaxed line-height variant |
| Card Title | Cal Sans | 16px | 600 | 1.10 | 0px | Smallest Cal Sans usage |
| Caption Label | Cal Sans | 12px | 600 | 1.50 | 0px | Small labels in Cal Sans |
| Body Light | Cal Sans UI Light | 18px | 300 | 1.30 | -0.2px | Light-weight body intro text |
| Body Light Standard | Cal Sans UI Light | 16px | 300 | 1.50 | -0.2px | Light-weight body text |
| Caption Light | Cal Sans UI Light | 14px | 300 | 1.401.50 | -0.2 to -0.28px | Light captions and descriptions |
| UI Label | Inter | 16px | 600 | 1.00 | 0px | UI buttons and nav labels |
| Caption Inter | Inter | 14px | 500 | 1.14 | 0px | Small UI text |
| Micro | Inter | 12px | 500 | 1.00 | 0px | Smallest Inter text |
| Code | Roboto Mono | 14px | 600 | 1.00 | 0px | Code snippets, technical text |
| Body Matter | Matter Regular | 14px | 400 | 1.14 | 0px | Alternate body text (product UI) |
### Principles
- **Cal Sans at large, Inter at small**: Cal Sans is exclusively for headings and display — never for body text. The system enforces this division strictly
- **Tight by default, space when small**: Cal Sans letters are "intentionally spaced to be extremely close" at large sizes. At 20px and below, positive letter-spacing (+0.2px) must be applied to prevent cramming
- **Weight 300 body variant**: Cal Sans UI Variable Light at 300 weight creates an elegant, airy body text that contrasts with the dense 600-weight headlines
- **Weight 600 dominance**: Nearly all Cal Sans usage is at weight 600 (semi-bold) — the font was designed to perform at this weight
- **Negative tracking on light text**: Cal Sans UI Light uses -0.2px to -0.28px letter-spacing, subtly tightening the already-compact letterforms
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
- **Dark Primary**: `#242424` (or `#1e1f23`) background, white text, 68px radius. Hover: opacity reduction to 0.7. The signature CTA — maximally dark on white
- **White/Ghost**: White background with shadow-ring border, dark text. Uses the multi-layered shadow system for subtle elevation
- **Pill**: 9999px radius for rounded pill-shaped actions and badges
- **Compact**: 4px padding, small text — utility actions within product UI
- **Inset highlight**: Some buttons feature `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15) 0px 2px 0px inset` — a subtle inner-top highlight creating a 3D pressed effect
### Cards & Containers
- **Shadow Card**: White background, multi-layered shadow — `rgba(19, 19, 22, 0.7) 0px 1px 5px -4px, rgba(34, 42, 53, 0.08) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(34, 42, 53, 0.05) 0px 4px 8px 0px`. The ring shadow (0px 0px 0px 1px) acts as a shadow-border
- **Product UI Cards**: Screenshots of the scheduling interface displayed in card containers with shadow elevation
- **Radius**: 8px for standard cards, 12px for larger containers, 16px for prominent sections
- **Hover**: Likely subtle shadow deepening or scale transform
### Inputs & Forms
- **Select dropdown**: White background, `#000000` text, 1px solid `rgb(118, 118, 118)` border
- **Focus**: Uses Framer's focus outline system (`--framer-focus-outline`)
- **Text input**: 8px radius, standard border treatment
- **Minimal form presence**: The marketing site prioritizes CTA buttons over complex forms
### Navigation
- **Top nav**: White/transparent background, Cal Sans links at near-black
- **Nav text**: `#111111` (Midnight) for primary links, `#000000` for emphasis
- **CTA button**: Dark Primary in the nav — high contrast call-to-action
- **Mobile**: Collapses to hamburger with simplified navigation
- **Sticky**: Fixed on scroll
### Image Treatment
- **Product screenshots**: Large scheduling UI screenshots — the product is the primary visual
- **Trust logos**: Grayscale company logos in a horizontal trust bar
- **Aspect ratios**: Wide landscape for product UI screenshots
- **No decorative imagery**: No illustrations, photos, or abstract graphics — pure product + typography
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- **Base unit**: 8px
- **Scale**: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 28px, 80px, 96px
- **Section padding**: 80px96px vertical between major sections (generous)
- **Card padding**: 12px24px internal
- **Component gaps**: 4px8px between related elements
- **Notable jump**: From 28px to 80px — a deliberate gap emphasizing the section-level spacing tier
### Grid & Container
- **Max width**: ~1200px content container, centered
- **Column patterns**: Full-width hero, centered text blocks, 2-3 column feature grids
- **Feature showcase**: Product screenshots flanked by description text
- **Breakpoints**: 98px, 640px, 768px, 810px, 1024px, 1199px — Framer-generated
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Lavish section spacing**: 80px96px between sections creates a breathable, premium feel
- **Product-first content**: Screenshots dominate the visual space — minimal surrounding decoration
- **Centered headlines**: Cal Sans headings centered with generous margins above and below
### Border Radius Scale
- **2px**: Subtle rounding on inline elements
- **4px**: Small UI components
- **6px7px**: Buttons, small cards, images
- **8px**: Standard interactive elements — buttons, inputs, images
- **12px**: Medium containers — links, larger cards, images
- **16px**: Large section containers
- **29px**: Special rounded elements
- **100px**: Large rounding — nearly circular on small elements
- **1000px**: Very large rounding
- **9999px**: Full pill shape — badges, links
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Level 0 (Flat) | No shadow | Page canvas, basic text containers |
| Level 1 (Inset) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.16) 0px 1px 1.9px 0px inset` | Pressed/recessed elements, input wells |
| Level 2 (Ring + Soft) | `rgba(19,19,22,0.7) 0px 1px 5px -4px, rgba(34,42,53,0.08) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(34,42,53,0.05) 0px 4px 8px` | Cards, containers — the workhorse shadow |
| Level 3 (Ring + Soft Alt) | `rgba(36,36,36,0.7) 0px 1px 5px -4px, rgba(36,36,36,0.05) 0px 4px 8px` | Alt card elevation without ring border |
| Level 4 (Inset Highlight) | `rgba(255,255,255,0.15) 0px 2px 0px inset` or `rgb(255,255,255) 0px 2px 0px inset` | Button inner highlight — 3D pressed effect |
| Level 5 (Soft Only) | `rgba(34,42,53,0.05) 0px 4px 8px` | Subtle ambient shadow |
### Shadow Philosophy
Cal.com's shadow system is the most sophisticated element of the design — 11 shadow definitions using a multi-layered compositing technique:
- **Ring borders**: `0px 0px 0px 1px` shadows act as borders, avoiding CSS `border` entirely. This creates hairline containment without affecting layout
- **Diffused soft shadows**: `0px 4px 8px` at 5% opacity add gentle ambient depth
- **Sharp contact shadows**: `0px 1px 5px -4px` at 70% opacity create tight bottom-edge shadows for grounding
- **Inset highlights**: White inset shadows at the top of buttons create a subtle 3D bevel
- Shadows are composed in comma-separated stacks — each surface gets 2-3 layered shadow definitions working together
### Decorative Depth
- No gradients or glow effects
- All depth comes from the sophisticated shadow compositing system
- The overall effect is subtle but precise — surfaces feel like physical cards sitting on a table
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Cal Sans exclusively for headings (24px+) and never for body text — it's a display font with tight default spacing
- Apply positive letter-spacing (+0.2px) when using Cal Sans below 24px — the font cramps at small sizes without it
- Maintain the grayscale palette — boldness comes from contrast, not color
- Use the multi-layered shadow system for card elevation — ring shadow + diffused shadow + contact shadow
- Keep backgrounds pure white — the monochrome philosophy requires a clean canvas
- Use Inter for all body text at weight 300600 — it's the reliable counterpart to Cal Sans's display personality
- Let product screenshots be the visual content — no illustrations, no decorative graphics
- Apply generous section spacing (80px96px) — the breathing room is essential to the premium feel
### Don't
- Use Cal Sans for body text or text below 16px — it wasn't designed for extended reading
- Add brand colors — Cal.com is intentionally grayscale, color is reserved for links and UI states only
- Use CSS borders when shadows can achieve the same containment — the ring-shadow technique is the system's approach
- Apply negative letter-spacing to Cal Sans at small sizes — it needs positive spacing (+0.2px) below 24px
- Create heavy, dark shadows — Cal.com's shadows are subtle (5% opacity diffused) with sharp contact edges
- Use illustrations, abstract graphics, or decorative elements — the visual language is typography + product UI only
- Mix Cal Sans weights — the font is designed for weight 600, other weights break the intended character
- Reduce section spacing below 48px — the generous whitespace is core to the premium monochrome aesthetic

### Iteration Guide
When refining existing screens generated with this design system:
1. Verify headings use Cal Sans at weight 600, body uses Inter — never mix them
2. Check that the palette is purely grayscale — if you see brand colors, remove them
3. Ensure card elevation uses the multi-layered shadow stack, not CSS borders
4. Confirm section spacing is generous (80px+) — if sections feel cramped, add more space
5. The overall tone should feel like a clean, professional scheduling tool — monochrome confidence without any decorative flourishes

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Claude's interface is a literary salon reimagined as a product page — warm, unhurried, and quietly intellectual. The entire experience is built on a parchment-toned canvas (`#f5f4ed`) that deliberately evokes the feeling of high-quality paper rather than a digital surface. Where most AI product pages lean into cold, futuristic aesthetics, Claude's design radiates human warmth, as if the AI itself has good taste in interior design.
The signature move is the custom Anthropic Serif typeface — a medium-weight serif with generous proportions that gives every headline the gravitas of a book title. Combined with organic, hand-drawn-feeling illustrations in terracotta (`#c96442`), black, and muted green, the visual language says "thoughtful companion" rather than "powerful tool." The serif headlines breathe at tight-but-comfortable line-heights (1.101.30), creating a cadence that feels more like reading an essay than scanning a product page.
What makes Claude's design truly distinctive is its warm neutral palette. Every gray has a yellow-brown undertone (`#5e5d59`, `#87867f`, `#4d4c48`) — there are no cool blue-grays anywhere. Borders are cream-tinted (`#f0eee6`, `#e8e6dc`), shadows use warm transparent blacks, and even the darkest surfaces (`#141413`, `#30302e`) carry a barely perceptible olive warmth. This chromatic consistency creates a space that feels lived-in and trustworthy.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Warm parchment canvas (`#f5f4ed`) evoking premium paper, not screens
- Custom Anthropic type family: Serif for headlines, Sans for UI, Mono for code
- Terracotta brand accent (`#c96442`) — warm, earthy, deliberately un-tech
- Exclusively warm-toned neutrals — every gray has a yellow-brown undertone
- Organic, editorial illustrations replacing typical tech iconography
- Ring-based shadow system (`0px 0px 0px 1px`) creating border-like depth without visible borders
- Magazine-like pacing with generous section spacing and serif-driven hierarchy
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Anthropic Near Black** (`#141413`): The primary text color and dark-theme surface — not pure black but a warm, almost olive-tinted dark that's gentler on the eyes. The warmest "black" in any major tech brand.
- **Terracotta Brand** (`#c96442`): The core brand color — a burnt orange-brown used for primary CTA buttons, brand moments, and the signature accent. Deliberately earthy and un-tech.
- **Coral Accent** (`#d97757`): A lighter, warmer variant of the brand color used for text accents, links on dark surfaces, and secondary emphasis.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Error Crimson** (`#b53333`): A deep, warm red for error states — serious without being alarming.
- **Focus Blue** (`#3898ec`): Standard blue for input focus rings — the only cool color in the entire system, used purely for accessibility.
### Surface & Background
- **Parchment** (`#f5f4ed`): The primary page background — a warm cream with a yellow-green tint that feels like aged paper. The emotional foundation of the entire design.
- **Ivory** (`#faf9f5`): The lightest surface — used for cards and elevated containers on the Parchment background. Barely distinguishable but creates subtle layering.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Reserved for specific button surfaces and maximum-contrast elements.
- **Warm Sand** (`#e8e6dc`): Button backgrounds and prominent interactive surfaces — a noticeably warm light gray.
- **Dark Surface** (`#30302e`): Dark-theme containers, nav borders, and elevated dark elements — warm charcoal.
- **Deep Dark** (`#141413`): Dark-theme page background and primary dark surface.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Charcoal Warm** (`#4d4c48`): Button text on light warm surfaces — the go-to dark-on-light text.
- **Olive Gray** (`#5e5d59`): Secondary body text — a distinctly warm medium-dark gray.
- **Stone Gray** (`#87867f`): Tertiary text, footnotes, and de-emphasized metadata.
- **Dark Warm** (`#3d3d3a`): Dark text links and emphasized secondary text.
- **Warm Silver** (`#b0aea5`): Text on dark surfaces — a warm, parchment-tinted light gray.
### Semantic & Accent
- **Border Cream** (`#f0eee6`): Standard light-theme border — barely visible warm cream, creating the gentlest possible containment.
- **Border Warm** (`#e8e6dc`): Prominent borders, section dividers, and emphasized containment on light surfaces.
- **Border Dark** (`#30302e`): Standard border on dark surfaces — maintains the warm tone.
- **Ring Warm** (`#d1cfc5`): Shadow ring color for button hover/focus states.
- **Ring Subtle** (`#dedc01`): Secondary ring variant for lighter interactive surfaces.
- **Ring Deep** (`#c2c0b6`): Deeper ring for active/pressed states.
### Gradient System
- Claude's design is **gradient-free** in the traditional sense. Depth and visual richness come from the interplay of warm surface tones, organic illustrations, and light/dark section alternation. The warm palette itself creates a "gradient" effect as the eye moves through cream → sand → stone → charcoal → black sections.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Headline**: `Anthropic Serif`, with fallback: `Georgia`
- **Body / UI**: `Anthropic Sans`, with fallback: `Arial`
- **Code**: `Anthropic Mono`, with fallback: `Arial`
*Note: These are custom typefaces. For external implementations, Georgia serves as the serif substitute and system-ui/Inter as the sans substitute.*
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | Anthropic Serif | 64px (4rem) | 500 | 1.10 (tight) | normal | Maximum impact, book-title presence |
| Section Heading | Anthropic Serif | 52px (3.25rem) | 500 | 1.20 (tight) | normal | Feature section anchors |
| Sub-heading Large | Anthropic Serif | 3636.8px (~2.3rem) | 500 | 1.30 | normal | Secondary section markers |
| Sub-heading | Anthropic Serif | 32px (2rem) | 500 | 1.10 (tight) | normal | Card titles, feature names |
| Sub-heading Small | Anthropic Serif | 2525.6px (~1.6rem) | 500 | 1.20 | normal | Smaller section titles |
| Feature Title | Anthropic Serif | 20.8px (1.3rem) | 500 | 1.20 | normal | Small feature headings |
| Body Serif | Anthropic Serif | 17px (1.06rem) | 400 | 1.60 (relaxed) | normal | Serif body text (editorial passages) |
| Body Large | Anthropic Sans | 20px (1.25rem) | 400 | 1.60 (relaxed) | normal | Intro paragraphs |
| Body / Nav | Anthropic Sans | 17px (1.06rem) | 400500 | 1.001.60 | normal | Navigation links, UI text |
| Body Standard | Anthropic Sans | 16px (1rem) | 400500 | 1.251.60 | normal | Standard body, button text |
| Body Small | Anthropic Sans | 15px (0.94rem) | 400500 | 1.001.60 | normal | Compact body text |
| Caption | Anthropic Sans | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Metadata, descriptions |
| Label | Anthropic Sans | 12px (0.75rem) | 400500 | 1.251.60 | 0.12px | Badges, small labels |
| Overline | Anthropic Sans | 10px (0.63rem) | 400 | 1.60 | 0.5px | Uppercase overline labels |
| Micro | Anthropic Sans | 9.6px (0.6rem) | 400 | 1.60 | 0.096px | Smallest text |
| Code | Anthropic Mono | 15px (0.94rem) | 400 | 1.60 | -0.32px | Inline code, terminal |
### Principles
- **Serif for authority, sans for utility**: Anthropic Serif carries all headline content with medium weight (500), giving every heading the gravitas of a published title. Anthropic Sans handles all functional UI text — buttons, labels, navigation — with quiet efficiency.
- **Single weight for serifs**: All Anthropic Serif headings use weight 500 — no bold, no light. This creates a consistent "voice" across all headline sizes, as if the same author wrote every heading.
- **Relaxed body line-height**: Most body text uses 1.60 line-height — significantly more generous than typical tech sites (1.41.5). This creates a reading experience closer to a book than a dashboard.
- **Tight-but-not-compressed headings**: Line-heights of 1.101.30 for headings are tight but never claustrophobic. The serif letterforms need breathing room that sans-serif fonts don't.
- **Micro letter-spacing on labels**: Small sans text (12px and below) uses deliberate letter-spacing (0.12px0.5px) to maintain readability at tiny sizes.

- CTA: Terracotta Brand button or White Surface button
- Hover: text shifts to foreground-primary, no decoration
### Image Treatment
- Product screenshots showing the Claude chat interface
- Generous border-radius on media (1632px)
- Embedded video players with rounded corners
- Dark UI screenshots provide contrast against warm light canvas
- Organic, hand-drawn illustrations for conceptual sections
### Distinctive Components
**Model Comparison Cards**
- Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5 presented in a clean card grid
- Each model gets a bordered card with name, description, and capability badges
- Border Warm (`#e8e6dc`) separation between items
**Organic Illustrations**
- Hand-drawn-feeling vector illustrations in terracotta, black, and muted green
- Abstract, conceptual rather than literal product diagrams
- The primary visual personality — no other AI company uses this style
**Dark/Light Section Alternation**
- The page alternates between Parchment light and Near Black dark sections
- Creates a reading rhythm like chapters in a book
- Each section feels like a distinct environment
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 3px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 30px
- Button padding: asymmetric (0px 12px 0px 8px) or balanced (8px 16px)
- Card internal padding: approximately 2432px
- Section vertical spacing: generous (estimated 80120px between major sections)
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: approximately 1200px, centered
- Hero: centered with editorial layout
- Feature sections: single-column or 23 column card grids
- Model comparison: clean 3-column grid
- Full-width dark sections breaking the container for emphasis
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Editorial pacing**: Each section breathes like a magazine spread — generous top/bottom margins create natural reading pauses.
- **Serif-driven rhythm**: The serif headings establish a literary cadence that demands more whitespace than sans-serif designs.
- **Content island approach**: Sections alternate between light and dark environments, creating distinct "rooms" for each message.
### Border Radius Scale
- Sharp (4px): Minimal inline elements
- Subtly rounded (67.5px): Small buttons, secondary interactive elements
- Comfortably rounded (88.5px): Standard buttons, cards, containers
- Generously rounded (12px): Primary buttons, input fields, nav elements
- Very rounded (16px): Featured containers, video players, tab lists
- Highly rounded (24px): Tag-like elements, highlighted containers
- Maximum rounded (32px): Hero containers, embedded media, large cards
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Parchment background, inline text |
| Contained (Level 1) | `1px solid #f0eee6` (light) or `1px solid #30302e` (dark) | Standard cards, sections |
| Ring (Level 2) | `0px 0px 0px 1px` ring shadows using warm grays | Interactive cards, buttons, hover states |
| Whisper (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px 4px 24px` | Elevated feature cards, product screenshots |
| Inset (Level 4) | `inset 0px 0px 0px 1px` at 15% opacity | Active/pressed button states |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Claude communicates depth through **warm-toned ring shadows** rather than traditional drop shadows. The signature `0px 0px 0px 1px` pattern creates a border-like halo that's softer than an actual border — it's a shadow pretending to be a border, or a border that's technically a shadow. When drop shadows do appear, they're extremely soft (0.05 opacity, 24px blur) — barely visible lifts that suggest floating rather than casting.
### Decorative Depth
- **Light/Dark alternation**: The most dramatic depth effect comes from alternating between Parchment (`#f5f4ed`) and Near Black (`#141413`) sections — entire sections shift elevation by changing the ambient light level.
- **Warm ring halos**: Button and card interactions use ring shadows that match the warm palette — never cool-toned or generic gray.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Parchment (`#f5f4ed`) as the primary light background — the warm cream tone IS the Claude personality
- Use Anthropic Serif at weight 500 for all headlines — the single-weight consistency is intentional
- Use Terracotta Brand (`#c96442`) only for primary CTAs and the highest-signal brand moments
- Keep all neutrals warm-toned — every gray should have a yellow-brown undertone
- Use ring shadows (`0px 0px 0px 1px`) for interactive element states instead of drop shadows
- Maintain the editorial serif/sans hierarchy — serif for content headlines, sans for UI
- Use generous body line-height (1.60) for a literary reading experience
- Alternate between light and dark sections to create chapter-like page rhythm
- Apply generous border-radius (1232px) for a soft, approachable feel
### Don't
- Don't use cool blue-grays anywhere — the palette is exclusively warm-toned
- Don't use bold (700+) weight on Anthropic Serif — weight 500 is the ceiling for serifs
- Don't introduce saturated colors beyond Terracotta — the palette is deliberately muted
- Don't use sharp corners (< 6px radius) on buttons or cards — softness is core to the identity
- Don't apply heavy drop shadows — depth comes from ring shadows and background color shifts
- Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — Parchment (`#f5f4ed`) or Ivory (`#faf9f5`) are always warmer
- Don't use geometric/tech-style illustrations — Claude's illustrations are organic and hand-drawn-feeling
- Don't reduce body line-height below 1.40 — the generous spacing supports the editorial personality
- Don't use monospace fonts for non-code content — Anthropic Mono is strictly for code
- Don't mix in sans-serif for headlines — the serif/sans split is the typographic identity
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Small Mobile | <479px | Minimum layout, stacked everything, compact typography |
| Mobile | 479640px | Single column, hamburger nav, reduced heading sizes |
| Large Mobile | 640767px | Slightly wider content area |
| Tablet | 768991px | 2-column grids begin, condensed nav |
| Desktop | 992px+ | Full multi-column layout, expanded nav, maximum hero typography (64px) |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use generous padding (816px vertical minimum)
- Navigation links adequately spaced for thumb navigation
- Card surfaces serve as large touch targets
- Minimum recommended: 44x44px
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Full horizontal nav collapses to hamburger on mobile
- **Feature sections**: Multi-column → stacked single column
- **Hero text**: 64px → 36px → ~25px progressive scaling
- **Model cards**: 3-column → stacked vertical
- **Section padding**: Reduces proportionally but maintains editorial rhythm
- **Illustrations**: Scale proportionally, maintain aspect ratios
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots scale proportionally within rounded containers
- Illustrations maintain quality at all sizes
- Video embeds maintain 16:9 aspect ratio with rounded corners
- No art direction changes between breakpoints
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Brand CTA: "Terracotta Brand (#c96442)"
- Page Background: "Parchment (#f5f4ed)"
- Card Surface: "Ivory (#faf9f5)"
- Primary Text: "Anthropic Near Black (#141413)"

- "Design a model comparison grid with three cards on Ivory surfaces. Each card gets a Border Warm (#e8e6dc) top border, model name in Anthropic Serif at 25px, and description in Olive Gray at 15px Anthropic Sans."
### Iteration Guide
1. Focus on ONE component at a time
2. Reference specific color names — "use Olive Gray (#5e5d59)" not "make it gray"
3. Always specify warm-toned variants — no cool grays
4. Describe serif vs sans usage explicitly — "Anthropic Serif for the heading, Anthropic Sans for the label"
5. For shadows, use "ring shadow (0px 0px 0px 1px)" or "whisper shadow" — never generic "drop shadow"
6. Specify the warm background — "on Parchment (#f5f4ed)" or "on Near Black (#141413)"
7. Keep illustrations organic and conceptual — describe "hand-drawn-feeling" style

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Clay's website is a warm, playful celebration of color that treats B2B data enrichment like a craft rather than an enterprise chore. The design language is built on a foundation of warm cream backgrounds (`#faf9f7`) and oat-toned borders (`#dad4c8`, `#eee9df`) that give every surface the tactile quality of handmade paper. Against this artisanal canvas, a vivid swatch palette explodes with personality — Matcha green, Slushie cyan, Lemon gold, Ube purple, Pomegranate pink, Blueberry navy, and Dragonfruit magenta — each named like flavors at a juice bar, not colors in an enterprise UI kit.
The typography is anchored by Roobert, a geometric sans-serif with character, loaded with an extensive set of OpenType stylistic sets (`"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss10"`, `"ss11"`, `"ss12"`) that give the text a distinctive, slightly quirky personality. At display scale (80px, weight 600), Roobert uses aggressive negative letter-spacing (-3.2px) that compresses headlines into punchy, billboard-like statements. Space Mono serves as the monospace companion for code and technical labels, completing the craft-meets-tech duality.
What makes Clay truly distinctive is its hover micro-animations: buttons on hover rotate slightly (`rotateZ(-8deg)`), translate upward (`translateY(-80%)`), change background to a contrasting swatch color, and cast a hard offset shadow (`rgb(0,0,0) -7px 7px`). This playful hover behavior — where a button literally tilts and jumps on interaction — creates a sense of physical delight that's rare in B2B software. Combined with generously rounded containers (24px40px radius), dashed borders alongside solid ones, and a multi-layer shadow system that includes inset highlights, Clay feels like a design system that was made by people who genuinely enjoy making things.

## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Families
- **Primary**: `Roobert`, fallback: `Arial`
- **Monospace**: `Space Mono`
- **OpenType Features**: `"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss10"`, `"ss11"`, `"ss12"` on all Roobert text (display uses all 5; body/UI uses `"ss03"`, `"ss10"`, `"ss11"`, `"ss12"`)
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Roobert | 80px (5.00rem) | 600 | 1.00 (tight) | -3.2px | All 5 stylistic sets |

| Card Heading | Roobert | 32px (2.00rem) | 600 | 1.10 (tight) | -0.64px | All 5 stylistic sets |
| Feature Title | Roobert | 20px (1.25rem) | 600 | 1.40 | -0.4px | All 5 stylistic sets |
| Sub-heading | Roobert | 20px (1.25rem) | 500 | 1.50 | -0.16px | 4 stylistic sets (no ss01) |

| Body Standard | Roobert | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | 4 stylistic sets |
| Body Medium | Roobert | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.201.40 | -0.16px to -0.32px | 45 stylistic sets |
| Button | Roobert | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.50 | -0.16px | 4 stylistic sets |

| Uppercase Label | Roobert | 12px (0.75rem) | 600 | 1.20 (tight) | 1.08px | `text-transform: uppercase`, 4 sets |
| Badge | Roobert | 9.6px | 600 | — | — | Pill badges |
### Principles
- **Five stylistic sets as identity**: The combination of `"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss10"`, `"ss11"`, `"ss12"` on Roobert creates a distinctive typographic personality. `ss01` is reserved for headings and emphasis — body text omits it, creating a subtle hierarchy through glyph variation.
- **Aggressive display compression**: -3.2px at 80px, -2.4px at 60px — the most compressed display tracking alongside the most generous body spacing (1.60 line-height), creating dramatic contrast.
- **Weight 600 for headings, 500 for UI, 400 for body**: Clean three-tier system where each weight has a strict role.
- **Uppercase labels with positive tracking**: 12px uppercase at 1.08px letter-spacing creates the systematic wayfinding pattern.

- 8px24px radius on images
- Full-width colorful section backgrounds
### Distinctive Components
**Swatch Color Sections**
- Full-width sections with swatch-colored backgrounds (matcha green, slushie cyan, ube purple, lemon gold)
- White text on dark swatches, black text on light swatches
- Each section tells a distinct product story through its color
**Playful Hover Buttons**
- Rotate -8deg + translate upward on hover
- Hard offset shadow (`-7px 7px`) instead of soft blur
- Background transitions to contrasting swatch color
- Creates a physical, toy-like interaction quality
**Dashed Border Elements**
- Dashed borders (`1px dashed #dad4c8`) alongside solid borders
- Used for secondary containers and decorative elements
- Adds a hand-drawn, craft-like quality
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 6.4px, 8px, 12px, 12.8px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px
### Grid & Container
- Max content width centered
- Feature sections alternate between white cards and colorful swatch backgrounds
- Card grids: 23 columns on desktop
- Full-width colorful sections break the grid
- Footer with generous 40px radius container
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Warm, generous breathing**: The cream background provides a warm rest between content blocks. Spacing is generous but not austere — it feels inviting, like a well-set table.
- **Color as spatial rhythm**: The alternating swatch-colored sections create visual rhythm through hue rather than just whitespace. Each color section is its own "room."
- **Craft-like density inside cards**: Within cards, content is compact and well-organized, contrasting with the generous outer spacing.
### Border Radius Scale
- Sharp (4px): Ghost buttons, inputs
- Standard (8px): Small cards, images, links
- Badge (11px): Tag badges
- Card (12px): Standard cards, buttons
- Feature (24px): Feature cards, images, panels
- Section (40px): Large sections, footer, containers
- Pill (1584px): CTAs, pill-shaped buttons
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, cream canvas | Page background |
| Clay Shadow (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 1px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px -1px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px -0.5px` | Cards, buttons — multi-layer with inset highlight |
| Hover Hard (Level 2) | `rgb(0,0,0) -7px 7px` | Hover state — playful hard offset shadow |
| Focus (Level 3) | `rgb(20, 110, 245) solid 2px` | Keyboard focus ring |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Clay's shadow system is uniquely three-layered: a downward cast (`0px 1px 1px`), an upward inset highlight (`0px -1px 1px inset`), and a subtle edge (`0px -0.5px 1px`). This creates a "pressed into clay" quality where elements feel both raised AND embedded — like a clay tablet where content is stamped into the surface. The hover hard shadow (`-7px 7px`) is deliberately retro-graphic, referencing print-era drop shadows and adding physical playfulness.
### Decorative Depth
- Full-width swatch-colored sections create dramatic depth through color contrast
- Dashed borders add visual texture alongside solid borders
- Product illustrations with warm, organic art style
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use warm cream (`#faf9f7`) as the page background — the warmth is the identity
- Apply all 5 OpenType stylistic sets on Roobert headings: `"ss01", "ss03", "ss10", "ss11", "ss12"`
- Use the named swatch palette (Matcha, Slushie, Lemon, Ube, Pomegranate, Blueberry) for section backgrounds
- Apply the playful hover animation: `rotateZ(-8deg)`, `translateY(-80%)`, hard shadow `-7px 7px`
- Use warm oat borders (`#dad4c8`) — not neutral gray
- Mix solid and dashed borders for visual variety
- Use generous radius: 24px for cards, 40px for sections
- Use weight 600 exclusively for headings, 500 for UI, 400 for body
### Don't
- Don't use cool gray backgrounds — the warm cream (`#faf9f7`) is non-negotiable
- Don't use neutral gray borders (`#ccc`, `#ddd`) — always use the warm oat tones
- Don't mix more than 2 swatch colors in the same section
- Don't skip the OpenType stylistic sets — they define Roobert's character
- Don't use subtle hover effects — the rotation + hard shadow is the signature interaction
- Don't use small border radius (<12px) on feature cards — the generous rounding is structural
- Don't use standard shadows (blur-based) — Clay uses hard offset and multi-layer inset
- Don't forget the uppercase labels with 1.08px tracking — they're the wayfinding system
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <479px | Single column, tight padding |
| Mobile | 479767px | Standard mobile, stacked layout |
| Tablet | 768991px | 2-column grids, condensed nav |
| Desktop | 992px+ | Full layout, 3-column grids, expanded sections |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons: minimum 6.4px + 12.8px padding for adequate touch area
- Nav links: 15px font with generous spacing
- Mobile: full-width buttons for easy tapping
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 80px → 60px → smaller display text
- Navigation: horizontal → hamburger at 767px
- Feature sections: multi-column → stacked
- Colorful sections: maintain full-width but compress padding
- Card grids: 3-column → 2-column → single column
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots scale proportionally
- Colorful section illustrations adapt to viewport width
- Rounded corners maintained across breakpoints
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide

- "Create a card: white background, 1px solid #dad4c8 border, 24px radius. Shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 1px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px -1px 1px inset. Title at 32px Roobert weight 600, letter-spacing -0.64px."
- "Design an uppercase label: 12px Roobert weight 600, text-transform uppercase, letter-spacing 1.08px, OpenType 'ss03 ss10 ss11 ss12'."
### Iteration Guide
1. Start with warm cream (#faf9f7) — never cool white
2. Swatch colors are for full sections, not small accents — go bold with matcha, slushie, ube
3. Oat borders (#dad4c8) everywhere — dashed variants for decoration
4. OpenType stylistic sets are mandatory — they make Roobert look like Roobert
5. Hover animations are the signature — rotation + hard shadow, not subtle fades
6. Generous radius: 24px cards, 40px sections — nothing looks sharp or corporate
7. Three weights: 600 (headings), 500 (UI), 400 (body) — strict roles

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
ClickHouse's interface is a high-performance cockpit rendered in acid yellow-green on obsidian black — a design that screams "speed" before you read a single word. The entire experience lives in darkness: pure black backgrounds (`#000000`) with dark charcoal cards (`#414141` borders) creating a terminal-grade aesthetic where the only chromatic interruption is the signature neon yellow-green (`#faff69`) that slashes across CTAs, borders, and highlighted moments like a highlighter pen on a dark console.
The typography is aggressively heavy — Inter at weight 900 (Black) for the hero headline at 96px creates text blocks that feel like they have physical mass. This "database for AI" site communicates raw power through visual weight: thick type, high-contrast neon accents, and performance stats displayed as oversized numbers. There's nothing subtle about ClickHouse's design, and that's entirely the point — it mirrors the product's promise of extreme speed and performance.
What makes ClickHouse distinctive is the electrifying tension between the near-black canvas and the neon yellow-green accent. This color combination (`#faff69` on `#000000`) creates one of the highest-contrast pairings in any tech brand, making every CTA button, every highlighted card, and every accent border impossible to miss. Supporting this is a forest green (`#166534`) for secondary CTAs that adds depth to the action hierarchy without competing with the neon.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Pure black canvas (#000000) with neon yellow-green (#faff69) accent — maximum contrast
- Extra-heavy display typography: Inter at weight 900 (Black) up to 96px
- Dark charcoal card system with #414141 borders at 80% opacity
- Forest green (#166534) secondary CTA buttons
- Performance stats as oversized display numbers
- Uppercase labels with wide letter-spacing (1.4px) for navigation structure
- Active/pressed state shifts text to pale yellow (#f4f692)
- All links hover to neon yellow-green — unified interactive signal
- Inset shadows on select elements creating "pressed into the surface" depth
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Neon Volt** (`#faff69`): The signature brand color — a vivid acid yellow-green that's the sole chromatic accent on the black canvas. Used for primary CTAs, accent borders, link hovers, and highlighted moments.
- **Forest Green** (`#166534`): Secondary CTA color — a deep, saturated green for "Get Started" and primary action buttons that need distinction from the neon.
- **Dark Forest** (`#14572f`): A darker green variant for borders and secondary accents.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Pale Yellow** (`#f4f692`): Active/pressed state text color — a softer, more muted version of Neon Volt for state feedback.
- **Border Olive** (`#4f5100`): A dark olive-yellow for ghost button borders — the neon's muted sibling.
- **Olive Dark** (`#161600`): The darkest neon-tinted color for subtle brand text.
### Surface & Background
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): The primary page background — absolute black for maximum contrast.
- **Near Black** (`#141414`): Button backgrounds and slightly elevated dark surfaces.
- **Charcoal** (`#414141`): The primary border color at 80% opacity — the workhorse for card and container containment.
- **Deep Charcoal** (`#343434`): Darker border variant for subtle division lines.
- **Hover Gray** (`#3a3a3a`): Button hover state background — slightly lighter than Near Black.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary text on dark surfaces.
- **Silver** (`#a0a0a0`): Secondary body text and muted content.
- **Mid Gray** (`#585858` at 28%): Subtle gray overlay for depth effects.
- **Border Gray** (`#e5e7eb`): Light border variant (used in rare light contexts).
### Gradient System
- **None in the traditional sense.** ClickHouse uses flat color blocks and high-contrast borders. The "gradient" is the contrast itself — neon yellow-green against pure black creates a visual intensity that gradients would dilute.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Inter` (Next.js optimized variant `__Inter_d1b8ee`)
- **Secondary Display**: `Basier` (`__basier_a58b65`), with fallbacks: `Arial, Helvetica`
- **Code**: `Inconsolata` (`__Inconsolata_a25f62`)
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Mega | Inter | 96px (6rem) | 900 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Maximum impact, extra-heavy |
| Display / Hero | Inter | 72px (4.5rem) | 700 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Section hero titles |
| Feature Heading | Basier | 36px (2.25rem) | 600 | 1.30 (tight) | normal | Feature section anchors |
| Sub-heading | Inter / Basier | 24px (1.5rem) | 600700 | 1.171.38 | normal | Card headings |
| Feature Title | Inter / Basier | 20px (1.25rem) | 600700 | 1.40 | normal | Small feature titles |
| Body Large | Inter | 18px (1.13rem) | 400700 | 1.56 | normal | Intro paragraphs, button text |
| Body / Button | Inter | 16px (1rem) | 400700 | 1.50 | normal | Standard body, nav, buttons |
| Caption | Inter | 14px (0.88rem) | 400700 | 1.43 | normal | Metadata, descriptions, links |
| Uppercase Label | Inter | 14px (0.88rem) | 600 | 1.43 | 1.4px | Section overlines, wide-tracked |
| Code | Inconsolata | 16px (1rem) | 600 | 1.50 | normal | Code blocks, commands |
| Small | Inter | 12px (0.75rem) | 500 | 1.33 | normal | Smallest text |
| Micro | Inter | 11.2px (0.7rem) | 500 | 1.79 (relaxed) | normal | Tags, tiny labels |
### Principles
- **Weight 900 is the weapon**: The display headline uses Inter Black (900) — a weight most sites never touch. Combined with 96px size, this creates text with a physical, almost architectural presence.
- **Full weight spectrum**: The system uses 400, 500, 600, 700, and 900 — covering the full gamut. Weight IS hierarchy.
- **Uppercase with maximum tracking**: Section overlines use 1.4px letter-spacing — wider than most systems — creating bold structural labels that stand out against the dense dark background.
- **Dual sans-serif**: Inter handles display and body; Basier handles feature section headings at 600 weight. This creates a subtle personality shift between "data/performance" (Inter) and "product/feature" (Basier) contexts.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 25px, 32px, 40px, 44px, 48px, 64px
- Button padding: 12px 16px (standard), 0px 16px (compact), 0px 32px (wide ghost)
- Section vertical spacing: generous (4864px)
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: up to 2200px (extra-wide) with responsive scaling
- Hero: full-width dark with massive typography
- Feature sections: multi-column card grids with dark borders
- Stats: horizontal metric bar
- Full-dark page — no light sections
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Dark void as canvas**: The pure black background provides infinite depth — elements float in darkness.
- **Dense information**: Feature cards and stats are packed with data, reflecting the database product's performance focus.
- **Neon highlights as wayfinding**: Yellow-green accents guide the eye through the dark interface like runway lights.
### Border Radius Scale
- Sharp (4px): Buttons, badges, small elements, code blocks
- Comfortable (8px): Cards, containers, dividers
- Pill (9999px): Toggle buttons, status indicators
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Black background, text blocks |
| Bordered (Level 1) | `1px solid rgba(65,65,65,0.8)` | Standard cards, containers |
| Subtle (Level 2) | `0px 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` | Subtle card lift |
| Elevated (Level 3) | `0px 10px 15px -3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` | Feature cards, hover states |
| Pressed/Inset (Level 4) | `0px 4px 25px rgba(0,0,0,0.14) inset` | Active/pressed elements — "sunk into the surface" |
| Neon Highlight (Level 5) | Neon Volt border (`#faff69`) | Featured/selected cards, maximum emphasis |
**Shadow Philosophy**: ClickHouse uses shadows on a black canvas, where they're barely visible — they exist more for subtle dimensionality than obvious elevation. The most distinctive depth mechanism is the **inset shadow** (Level 4), which creates a "pressed into the surface" effect unique to ClickHouse. The neon border highlight (Level 5) is the primary attention-getting depth mechanism.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Neon Volt (#faff69) as the sole chromatic accent — it must pop against pure black
- Use Inter at weight 900 for hero display text — the extreme weight IS the personality
- Keep everything on pure black (#000000) — never use dark gray as the page background
- Use charcoal borders (rgba(65,65,65,0.8)) for all card containment
- Apply Forest Green (#166534) for primary CTA buttons — distinct from neon for action hierarchy
- Show performance stats as oversized display numbers — it's the core visual argument
- Use uppercase with wide letter-spacing (1.4px) for section labels
- Apply Pale Yellow (#f4f692) for active/pressed text states
- Link hovers should ALWAYS shift to Neon Volt — unified interactive feedback
### Don't
- Don't introduce additional colors — the palette is strictly black, neon, green, and gray
- Don't use the neon as a background fill — it's an accent and border color only (except on CTA buttons)
- Don't reduce display weight below 700 — heavy weight is core to the personality
- Don't use light/white backgrounds anywhere — the entire experience is dark
- Don't round corners beyond 8px — the sharp geometry reflects database precision
- Don't use soft/diffused shadows on black — they're invisible. Use border-based depth instead
- Don't skip the inset shadow on active states — the "pressed" effect is distinctive
- Don't use warm neutrals — all grays are perfectly neutral
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <640px | Single column, stacked cards |
| Small Tablet | 640768px | Minor adjustments |
| Tablet | 7681024px | 2-column grids |
| Desktop | 10241280px | Standard layout |
| Large Desktop | 12801536px | Expanded content |
| Ultra-wide | 15362200px | Maximum container width |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons with 12px 16px padding minimum
- Card surfaces as touch targets
- Adequate nav link spacing
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Hero text**: 96px → 72px → 48px → 36px
- **Feature grids**: Multi-column → 2 → 1 column
- **Stats**: Horizontal → stacked
- **Navigation**: Full → hamburger
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots maintain aspect ratio
- Code blocks use horizontal scroll on narrow screens
- All images on dark backgrounds
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Brand Accent: "Neon Volt (#faff69)"
- Page Background: "Pure Black (#000000)"
- CTA Green: "Forest Green (#166534)"
- Card Border: "Charcoal (rgba(65,65,65,0.8))"
- Primary Text: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Secondary Text: "Silver (#a0a0a0)"
- Active State: "Pale Yellow (#f4f692)"
- Button Surface: "Near Black (#141414)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Pure Black (#000000) with a massive headline at 96px Inter weight 900, line-height 1.0. Pure White text. Add a Neon Volt (#faff69) CTA button (dark text, 4px radius, 0px 16px padding) and a ghost button (transparent, 1px solid #4f5100 border)."
- "Design a feature card on black with 1px solid rgba(65,65,65,0.8) border and 8px radius. Title at 24px Inter weight 700, body at 16px in Silver (#a0a0a0). Add a neon-highlighted variant with 1px solid #faff69 border."
- "Build a performance stats bar: large numbers at 72px Inter weight 700 in Pure White. Brief descriptions at 14px in Silver. On black background."
- "Create a Forest Green (#166534) CTA button: white text, 12px 16px padding, 4px radius, 1px solid #141414 border. Hover: bg shifts to #3a3a3a, text to 80% opacity."
- "Design an uppercase section label: 14px Inter weight 600, letter-spacing 1.4px, uppercase. Silver (#a0a0a0) text on black background."
### Iteration Guide
1. Keep everything on pure black — no dark gray alternatives
2. Neon Volt (#faff69) is for accents and CTAs only — never large backgrounds
3. Weight 900 for hero, 700 for headings, 600 for labels, 400-500 for body
4. Active states use Pale Yellow (#f4f692) — not just opacity changes
5. All links hover to Neon Volt — consistent interactive feedback
6. Charcoal borders (rgba(65,65,65,0.8)) are the primary depth mechanism

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Cohere's interface is a polished enterprise command deck — confident, clean, and designed to make AI feel like serious infrastructure rather than a consumer toy. The experience lives on a bright white canvas where content is organized into generously rounded cards (22px radius) that create an organic, cloud-like containment language. This is a site that speaks to CTOs and enterprise architects: professional without being cold, sophisticated without being intimidating.
The design language bridges two worlds with a dual-typeface system: CohereText, a custom display serif with tight tracking, gives headlines the gravitas of a technology manifesto, while Unica77 Cohere Web handles all body and UI text with geometric Swiss precision. This serif/sans pairing creates a "confident authority meets engineering clarity" personality that perfectly reflects an enterprise AI platform.
Color is used with extreme restraint — the interface is almost entirely black-and-white with cool gray borders (`#d9d9dd`, `#e5e7eb`). Purple-violet appears only in photographic hero bands, gradient sections, and the interactive blue (`#1863dc`) that signals hover and focus states. This chromatic restraint means that when color DOES appear — in product screenshots, enterprise photography, and the deep purple section — it carries maximum visual weight.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Bright white canvas with cool gray containment borders
- 22px signature border-radius — the distinctive "Cohere card" roundness
- Dual custom typeface: CohereText (display serif) + Unica77 (body sans)
- Enterprise-grade chromatic restraint: black, white, cool grays, minimal purple-blue accent
- Deep purple/violet hero sections providing dramatic contrast
- Ghost/transparent buttons that shift to blue on hover
- Enterprise photography showing diverse real-world applications
- CohereMono for code and technical labels with uppercase transforms
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Cohere Black** (`#000000`): Primary headline text and maximum-emphasis elements.
- **Near Black** (`#212121`): Standard body link color — slightly softer than pure black.
- **Deep Dark** (`#17171c`): A blue-tinted near-black for navigation and dark-section text.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Interaction Blue** (`#1863dc`): The primary interactive accent — appears on button hover, focus states, and active links. The sole chromatic action color.
- **Ring Blue** (`#4c6ee6` at 50%): Tailwind ring color for keyboard focus indicators.
- **Focus Purple** (`#9b60aa`): Input focus border color — a muted violet.
### Surface & Background
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): The primary page background and card surface.
- **Snow** (`#fafafa`): Subtle elevated surfaces and light-section backgrounds.
- **Lightest Gray** (`#f2f2f2`): Card borders and the softest containment lines.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Muted Slate** (`#93939f`): De-emphasized footer links and tertiary text — a cool-toned gray with a slight blue-violet tint.
- **Border Cool** (`#d9d9dd`): Standard section and list-item borders — a cool, slightly purple-tinted gray.
- **Border Light** (`#e5e7eb`): Lighter border variant — Tailwind's standard gray-200.
### Gradient System
- **Purple-Violet Hero Band**: Deep purple gradient sections that create dramatic contrast against the white canvas. These appear as full-width bands housing product screenshots and key messaging.
- **Dark Footer Gradient**: The page transitions through deep purple/charcoal to the black footer, creating a "dusk" effect.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Display**: `CohereText`, with fallbacks: `Space Grotesk, Inter, ui-sans-serif, system-ui`
- **Body / UI**: `Unica77 Cohere Web`, with fallbacks: `Inter, Arial, ui-sans-serif, system-ui`
- **Code**: `CohereMono`, with fallbacks: `Arial, ui-sans-serif, system-ui`
- **Icons**: `CohereIconDefault` (custom icon font)
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | CohereText | 72px (4.5rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.44px | Maximum impact, serif authority |
| Display Secondary | CohereText | 60px (3.75rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.2px | Large section headings |
| Section Heading | Unica77 | 48px (3rem) | 400 | 1.20 (tight) | -0.48px | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | Unica77 | 32px (2rem) | 400 | 1.20 (tight) | -0.32px | Card headings, feature names |
| Feature Title | Unica77 | 24px (1.5rem) | 400 | 1.30 | normal | Smaller section titles |
| Body Large | Unica77 | 18px (1.13rem) | 400 | 1.40 | normal | Intro paragraphs |
| Body / Button | Unica77 | 16px (1rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Standard body, button text |
| Button Medium | Unica77 | 14px (0.88rem) | 500 | 1.71 (relaxed) | normal | Smaller buttons, emphasized labels |
| Caption | Unica77 | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.40 | normal | Metadata, descriptions |
| Uppercase Label | Unica77 / CohereMono | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.40 | 0.28px | Uppercase section labels |
| Small | Unica77 | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.40 | normal | Smallest text, footer links |
| Code Micro | CohereMono | 8px (0.5rem) | 400 | 1.40 | 0.16px | Tiny uppercase code labels |
### Principles
- **Serif for declaration, sans for utility**: CohereText carries the brand voice at display scale — its serif terminals give headlines the authority of published research. Unica77 handles everything functional with Swiss-geometric neutrality.
- **Negative tracking at scale**: CohereText uses -1.2px to -1.44px letter-spacing at 6072px, creating dense, impactful text blocks.
- **Single body weight**: Nearly all Unica77 usage is weight 400. Weight 500 appears only for small button emphasis. The system relies on size and spacing, not weight contrast.
- **Uppercase code labels**: CohereMono uses uppercase with positive letter-spacing (0.160.28px) for technical tags and section markers.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Ghost / Transparent**
- Background: transparent (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)`)
- Text: Cohere Black (`#000000`)
- No border visible
- Hover: text shifts to Interaction Blue (`#1863dc`), opacity 0.8
- Focus: solid 2px outline in Interaction Blue
- The primary button style — invisible until interacted with
**Dark Solid**
- Background: dark/black
- Text: Pure White
- For CTA on light surfaces
- Pill-shaped or standard radius
**Outlined**
- Border-based containment
- Used in secondary actions
### Cards & Containers
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Border: thin solid Lightest Gray (`1px solid #f2f2f2`) for subtle cards; Cool Border (`#d9d9dd`) for emphasized
- Radius: **22px** — the signature Cohere radius for primary cards, images, and dialog containers. Also 4px, 8px, 16px, 20px for smaller elements
- Shadow: minimal — Cohere relies on background color and borders rather than shadows
- Special: `0px 0px 22px 22px` radius (bottom-only rounding) for section containers
- Dialog: 8px radius for modal/dialog boxes
### Inputs & Forms
- Text: white on dark input, black on light
- Focus border: Focus Purple (`#9b60aa`) with `1px solid`
- Focus shadow: red ring (`rgb(179, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 2px`) — likely for error state indication
- Focus outline: Interaction Blue solid 2px
### Navigation
- Clean horizontal nav on white or dark background
- Logo: Cohere wordmark (custom SVG)
- Links: Dark text at 16px Unica77
- CTA: Dark solid button
- Mobile: hamburger collapse
### Image Treatment
- Enterprise photography with diverse subjects and environments
- Purple-tinted hero photography for dramatic sections
- Product UI screenshots on dark surfaces
- Images with 22px radius matching card system
- Full-bleed purple gradient sections
### Distinctive Components
**22px Card System**
- The 22px border-radius is Cohere's visual signature
- All primary cards, images, and containers use this radius
- Creates a cloud-like, organic softness that's distinctive from the typical 812px
**Enterprise Trust Bar**
- Company logos displayed in a horizontal strip
- Demonstrates enterprise adoption
- Clean, monochrome logo treatment
**Purple Hero Bands**
- Full-width deep purple sections housing product showcases
- Create dramatic visual breaks in the white page flow
- Product screenshots float within the purple environment
**Uppercase Code Tags**
- CohereMono in uppercase with letter-spacing
- Used as section markers and categorization labels
- Creates a technical, structured information hierarchy
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 22px, 24px, 28px, 32px, 36px, 40px, 56px, 60px
- Button padding varies by variant
- Card internal padding: approximately 2432px
- Section vertical spacing: generous (5660px between sections)
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: up to 2560px (very wide) with responsive scaling
- Hero: centered with dramatic typography
- Feature sections: multi-column card grids
- Enterprise sections: full-width purple bands
- 26 breakpoints detected — extremely granular responsive system
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Enterprise clarity**: Each section presents one clear proposition with breathing room between.
- **Photography as hero**: Large photographic sections provide visual interest without requiring decorative design elements.
- **Card grouping**: Related content is grouped into 22px-rounded cards, creating natural information clusters.
### Border Radius Scale
- Sharp (4px): Navigation elements, small tags, pagination
- Comfortable (8px): Dialog boxes, secondary containers, small cards
- Generous (16px): Featured containers, medium cards
- Large (20px): Large feature cards
- Signature (22px): Primary cards, hero images, main containers — THE Cohere radius
- Pill (9999px): Buttons, tags, status indicators
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Page background, text blocks |
| Bordered (Level 1) | `1px solid #f2f2f2` or `#d9d9dd` | Standard cards, list separators |
| Purple Band (Level 2) | Full-width dark purple background | Hero sections, feature showcases |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Cohere is nearly shadow-free. Depth is communicated through **background color contrast** (white cards on purple bands, white surface on snow), **border containment** (cool gray borders), and the dramatic **light-to-dark section alternation**. When elements need elevation, they achieve it through being white-on-dark rather than through shadow casting.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use 22px border-radius on all primary cards and containers — it's the visual signature
- Use CohereText for display headings (72px, 60px) with negative letter-spacing
- Use Unica77 for all body and UI text at weight 400
- Keep the palette black-and-white with cool gray borders
- Use Interaction Blue (#1863dc) only for hover/focus interactive states
- Use deep purple sections for dramatic visual breaks and product showcases
- Apply uppercase + letter-spacing on CohereMono for section labels
- Maintain enterprise-appropriate photography with diverse subjects
### Don't
- Don't use border-radius other than 22px on primary cards — the signature radius matters
- Don't introduce warm colors — the palette is strictly cool-toned
- Don't use heavy shadows — depth comes from color contrast and borders
- Don't use bold (700+) weight on body text — 400500 is the range
- Don't skip the serif/sans hierarchy — CohereText for headlines, Unica77 for body
- Don't use purple as a surface color for cards — purple is reserved for full-width sections
- Don't reduce section spacing below 40px — enterprise layouts need breathing room
- Don't use decoration on buttons by default — ghost/transparent is the base state
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Small Mobile | <425px | Compact layout, minimal spacing |
| Mobile | 425640px | Single column, stacked cards |
| Large Mobile | 640768px | Minor spacing adjustments |
| Tablet | 7681024px | 2-column grids begin |
| Desktop | 10241440px | Full multi-column layout |
| Large Desktop | 14402560px | Maximum container width |
*26 breakpoints detected — one of the most granularly responsive sites in the dataset.*
### Touch Targets
- Buttons adequately sized for touch interaction
- Navigation links with comfortable spacing
- Card surfaces as touch targets
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Full nav collapses to hamburger
- **Feature grids**: Multi-column → 2-column → single column
- **Hero text**: 72px → 48px → 32px progressive scaling
- **Purple sections**: Maintain full-width, content stacks
- **Card grids**: 3 → 2 → 1 column
### Image Behavior
- Photography scales proportionally within 22px-radius containers
- Product screenshots maintain aspect ratio
- Purple sections scale background proportionally
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary Text: "Cohere Black (#000000)"
- Page Background: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Secondary Text: "Near Black (#212121)"
- Hover Accent: "Interaction Blue (#1863dc)"
- Muted Text: "Muted Slate (#93939f)"
- Card Borders: "Lightest Gray (#f2f2f2)"
- Section Borders: "Border Cool (#d9d9dd)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Pure White (#ffffff) with CohereText at 72px weight 400, line-height 1.0, letter-spacing -1.44px. Cohere Black text. Subtitle in Unica77 at 18px weight 400, line-height 1.4."
- "Design a feature card with 22px border-radius, 1px solid Lightest Gray (#f2f2f2) border on white. Title in Unica77 at 32px, letter-spacing -0.32px. Body in Unica77 at 16px, Muted Slate (#93939f)."
- "Build a ghost button: transparent background, Cohere Black text in Unica77 at 16px. On hover, text shifts to Interaction Blue (#1863dc) with 0.8 opacity. Focus: 2px solid Interaction Blue outline."
- "Create a deep purple full-width section with white text. CohereText at 60px for the heading. Product screenshot floats within using 22px border-radius."
- "Design a section label using CohereMono at 14px, uppercase, letter-spacing 0.28px. Muted Slate (#93939f) text."
### Iteration Guide
1. Focus on ONE component at a time
2. Always use 22px radius for primary cards — "the Cohere card roundness"
3. Specify the typeface — CohereText for headlines, Unica77 for body, CohereMono for labels
4. Interactive elements use Interaction Blue (#1863dc) on hover only
5. Keep surfaces white with cool gray borders — no warm tones
6. Purple is for full-width sections, never card backgrounds

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Coinbase's website is a clean, trustworthy crypto platform that communicates financial reliability through a blue-and-white binary palette. The design uses Coinbase Blue (`#0052ff`) — a deep, saturated blue — as the singular brand accent against white and near-black surfaces. The proprietary font family includes CoinbaseDisplay for hero headlines, CoinbaseSans for UI text, CoinbaseText for body reading, and CoinbaseIcons for iconography — a comprehensive four-font system.
The button system uses a distinctive 56px radius for pill-shaped CTAs with hover transitions to a lighter blue (`#578bfa`). The design alternates between white content sections and dark (`#0a0b0d`, `#282b31`) feature sections, creating a professional, financial-grade interface.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Coinbase Blue (`#0052ff`) as singular brand accent

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Composio's interface is a nocturnal command center — a dense, developer-focused darkness punctuated by electric cyan and deep cobalt signals. The entire experience is built on an almost-pure-black canvas (`#0f0f0f`) where content floats within barely-visible containment borders, creating the feeling of a high-tech control panel rather than a traditional marketing page. It's a site that whispers authority to developers who live in dark terminals.
The visual language leans heavily into the aesthetic of code editors and terminal windows. JetBrains Mono appears alongside the geometric precision of abcDiatype, reinforcing the message that this is a tool built *by* developers *for* developers. Decorative elements are restrained but impactful — subtle cyan-blue gradient glows emanate from cards and sections like bioluminescent organisms in deep water, while hard-offset shadows (`4px 4px`) on select elements add a raw, brutalist edge that prevents the design from feeling sterile.
What makes Composio distinctive is its tension between extreme minimalism and strategic bursts of luminous color. The site never shouts — headings use tight line-heights (0.87) that compress text into dense, authoritative blocks. Color is rationed like a rare resource: white text for primary content, semi-transparent white (`rgba(255,255,255,0.5-0.6)`) for secondary, and brand blue (`#0007cd`) or electric cyan (`#00ffff`) reserved exclusively for interactive moments and accent glows.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Pitch-black canvas with near-invisible white-border containment (4-12% opacity)
- Dual-font identity: geometric sans-serif (abcDiatype) for content, monospace (JetBrains Mono) for technical credibility
- Ultra-tight heading line-heights (0.87-1.0) creating compressed, impactful text blocks
- Bioluminescent accent strategy — cyan and blue glows that feel like they're emitting light from within
- Hard-offset brutalist shadows (`4px 4px`) on select interactive elements
- Monochrome hierarchy with color used only at the highest-signal moments
- Developer-terminal aesthetic that bridges marketing and documentation
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Composio Cobalt** (`#0007cd`): The core brand color — a deep, saturated blue used sparingly for high-priority interactive elements and brand moments. It anchors the identity with quiet intensity.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Electric Cyan** (`#00ffff`): The attention-grabbing accent — used at low opacity (`rgba(0,255,255,0.12)`) for glowing button backgrounds and card highlights. At full saturation, it serves as the energetic counterpoint to the dark canvas.
- **Signal Blue** (`#0089ff` / `rgb(0,137,255)`): Used for select button borders and interactive focus states, bridging the gap between Cobalt and Cyan.
- **Ocean Blue** (`#0096ff` / `rgb(0,150,255)`): Accent border color on CTA buttons, slightly warmer than Signal Blue.
### Surface & Background
- **Void Black** (`#0f0f0f`): The primary page background — not pure black, but a hair warmer, reducing eye strain on dark displays.
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Used for card interiors and deep-nested containers, creating a subtle depth distinction from the page background.
- **Charcoal** (`#2c2c2c` / `rgb(44,44,44)`): Used for secondary button borders and divider lines on dark surfaces.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary heading and high-emphasis text color on dark surfaces.
- **Muted Smoke** (`#444444`): De-emphasized body text, metadata, and tertiary content.
- **Ghost White** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.6)`): Secondary body text and link labels — visible but deliberately receded.
- **Whisper White** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.5)`): Tertiary button text and placeholder content.
- **Phantom White** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.2)`): Subtle button backgrounds and deeply receded UI chrome.
### Semantic & Accent
- **Border Mist 12** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.12)`): Highest-opacity border treatment — used for prominent card edges and content separators.
- **Border Mist 10** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.10)`): Standard container borders on dark surfaces.
- **Border Mist 08** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`): Subtle section dividers and secondary card edges.
- **Border Mist 06** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.06)`): Near-invisible containment borders for background groupings.
- **Border Mist 04** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.04)`): The faintest border — used for atmospheric separation only.
- **Light Border** (`#e0e0e0` / `rgb(224,224,224)`): Reserved for light-surface contexts (rare on this site).
### Gradient System
- **Cyan Glow**: Radial gradients using `#00ffff` at very low opacity, creating bioluminescent halos behind cards and feature sections.
- **Blue-to-Black Fade**: Linear gradients from Composio Cobalt (`#0007cd`) fading into Void Black (`#0f0f0f`), used in hero backgrounds and section transitions.
- **White Fog**: Bottom-of-page gradient transitioning from dark to a diffused white/gray, creating an atmospheric "horizon line" effect near the footer.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `abcDiatype`, with fallbacks: `abcDiatype Fallback, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji`
- **Monospace**: `JetBrains Mono`, with fallbacks: `JetBrains Mono Fallback, ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, Liberation Mono, Courier New`
- **System Monospace** (fallback): `Menlo`, `monospace` for smallest inline code
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | abcDiatype | 64px (4rem) | 400 | 0.87 (ultra-tight) | normal | Massive, compressed headings |

| Tag / Overline | abcDiatype | 12px (0.75rem) | 500 | 1.00 (tight) | 0.3px | Uppercase overline labels |
| Micro | abcDiatype | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | 0.3px | Smallest sans-serif text |
| Code Body | JetBrains Mono | 16px (1rem) | 400 | 1.50 | -0.32px | Inline code, terminal output |
| Code Small | JetBrains Mono | 14px (0.875rem) | 400 | 1.50 | -0.28px | Code snippets, technical labels |
| Code Caption | JetBrains Mono | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.50 | -0.28px | Small code references |
| Code Overline | JetBrains Mono | 14px (0.875rem) | 400 | 1.43 | 0.7px | Uppercase technical labels |
| Code Micro | JetBrains Mono | 11px (0.69rem) | 400 | 1.33 | 0.55px | Tiny uppercase code tags |
| Code Nano | JetBrains Mono | 9-10px | 400 | 1.33 | 0.45-0.5px | Smallest monospace text |
### Principles
- **Compression creates authority**: Heading line-heights are drastically tight (0.87-1.0), making large text feel dense and commanding rather than airy and decorative.
- **Dual personality**: abcDiatype carries the marketing voice — geometric, precise, friendly. JetBrains Mono carries the technical voice — credible, functional, familiar to developers.
- **Weight restraint**: Almost everything is weight 400 (regular). Weight 500 (medium) is reserved for small labels, badges, and select card titles. Weight 700 (bold) appears only in microscopic system-monospace contexts.
- **Negative letter-spacing on code**: JetBrains Mono uses negative letter-spacing (-0.28px to -0.98px) for dense, compact code blocks that feel like a real IDE.
- **Uppercase is earned**: The `uppercase` + `letter-spacing` treatment is reserved exclusively for tiny overline labels and technical tags — never for headings.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Primary CTA (White Fill)**
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Text: Near Black (`oklch(0.145 0 0)`)
- Padding: comfortable (8px 24px)
- Border: none
- Radius: subtly rounded (likely 4px based on token scale)
- Hover: likely subtle opacity reduction or slight gray shift
**Cyan Accent CTA**
- Background: Electric Cyan at 12% opacity (`rgba(0,255,255,0.12)`)
- Text: Near Black (`oklch(0.145 0 0)`)
- Padding: comfortable (8px 24px)
- Border: thin solid Ocean Blue (`1px solid rgb(0,150,255)`)
- Radius: subtly rounded (4px)
- Creates a "glowing from within" effect on dark backgrounds
**Ghost / Outline (Signal Blue)**
- Background: transparent
- Text: Near Black (`oklch(0.145 0 0)`)
- Padding: balanced (10px)
- Border: thin solid Signal Blue (`1px solid rgb(0,137,255)`)
- Hover: likely fill or border color shift
**Ghost / Outline (Charcoal)**
- Background: transparent
- Text: Near Black (`oklch(0.145 0 0)`)
- Padding: balanced (10px)
- Border: thin solid Charcoal (`1px solid rgb(44,44,44)`)
- For secondary/tertiary actions on dark surfaces
**Phantom Button**
- Background: Phantom White (`rgba(255,255,255,0.2)`)
- Text: Whisper White (`rgba(255,255,255,0.5)`)
- No visible border
- Used for deeply de-emphasized actions
### Cards & Containers
- Background: Pure Black (`#000000`) or transparent
- Border: white at very low opacity, ranging from Border Mist 04 (`rgba(255,255,255,0.04)`) to Border Mist 12 (`rgba(255,255,255,0.12)`) depending on prominence
- Radius: barely rounded corners (2px for inline elements, 4px for content cards)
- Shadow: select cards use the hard-offset brutalist shadow (`rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 4px 4px 0px 0px`) — a distinctive design choice that adds raw depth
- Elevation shadow: deeper containers use soft diffuse shadow (`rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 0px 8px 32px`)
- Hover behavior: likely subtle border opacity increase or faint glow effect
### Inputs & Forms
- No explicit input token data extracted — inputs likely follow the dark-surface pattern with:
- Background: transparent or Pure Black
- Border: Border Mist 10 (`rgba(255,255,255,0.10)`)
- Focus: border shifts to Signal Blue (`#0089ff`) or Electric Cyan
- Text: Pure White with Ghost White placeholder
### Navigation
- Sticky top nav bar on dark/black background
- Logo (white SVG): Composio wordmark on the left
- Nav links: Pure White (`#ffffff`) at standard body size (16px, abcDiatype)
- CTA button in the nav: White Fill Primary style
- Mobile: collapses to hamburger menu, single-column layout
- Subtle bottom border on nav (Border Mist 06-08)
### Image Treatment
- Dark-themed product screenshots and UI mockups dominate
- Images sit within bordered containers matching the card system
- Blue/cyan gradient glows behind or beneath feature images
- No visible border-radius on images beyond container rounding (4px)
- Full-bleed within their card containers
### Distinctive Components
**Stats/Metrics Display**
- Large monospace numbers (JetBrains Mono) — "10k+" style
- Tight layout with subtle label text beneath
**Code Blocks / Terminal Previews**
- Dark containers with JetBrains Mono
- Syntax-highlighted content
- Subtle bordered containers (Border Mist 10)
**Integration/Partner Logos Grid**
- Grid layout of tool logos on dark surface
- Contained within bordered card
- Demonstrates ecosystem breadth
**"COMPOSIO" Brand Display**
- Oversized brand typography — likely the largest text on the page
- Used as a section divider/brand statement
- Stark white on black
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 30px, 32px, 40px
- Component padding: typically 10px (buttons) to 24px (CTA buttons horizontal)
- Section padding: generous vertical spacing (estimated 80-120px between major sections)
- Card internal padding: approximately 24-32px
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: approximately 1200px, centered
- Content sections use single-column or 2-3 column grids for feature cards
- Hero: centered single-column with maximum impact
- Feature sections: asymmetric layouts mixing text blocks with product screenshots
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Breathing room between sections**: Large vertical gaps create distinct "chapters" in the page scroll.
- **Dense within components**: Cards and text blocks are internally compact (tight line-heights, minimal internal padding), creating focused information nodes.
- **Contrast-driven separation**: Rather than relying solely on whitespace, Composio uses border opacity differences and subtle background shifts to delineate content zones.
### Border Radius Scale
- Nearly squared (2px): Inline code spans, small tags, pre blocks — the sharpest treatment, conveying technical precision
- Subtly rounded (4px): Content cards, images, standard containers — the workhorse radius
- Pill-shaped (37px): Select buttons and badges — creates a softer, more approachable feel for key CTAs
- Full round (9999px+): Circular elements, avatar-like containers, decorative dots
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Page background, inline text |
| Contained (Level 1) | Border Mist 04-08, no shadow | Background groupings, subtle sections |
| Card (Level 2) | Border Mist 10-12, no shadow | Standard content cards, code blocks |
| Brutalist (Level 3) | Hard offset shadow (`4px 4px`, 15% black) | Select interactive cards, distinctive feature highlights |
| Floating (Level 4) | Soft diffuse shadow (`0px 8px 32px`, 50% black) | Modals, overlays, deeply elevated content |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Composio uses shadows sparingly and with deliberate contrast. The hard-offset brutalist shadow is the signature — it breaks the sleek darkness with a raw, almost retro-computing feel. The soft diffuse shadow is reserved for truly floating elements. Most depth is communicated through border opacity gradations rather than shadows.
### Decorative Depth
- **Cyan Glow Halos**: Radial gradient halos using Electric Cyan at low opacity behind feature cards and images. Creates a "screen glow" effect as if the UI elements are emitting light.
- **Blue-Black Gradient Washes**: Linear gradients from Composio Cobalt to Void Black used as section backgrounds, adding subtle color temperature shifts.
- **White Fog Horizon**: A gradient from dark to diffused white/gray at the bottom of the page, creating an atmospheric "dawn" effect before the footer.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Void Black (`#0f0f0f`) as the primary page background — never pure white for main surfaces
- Keep heading line-heights ultra-tight (0.87-1.0) for compressed, authoritative text blocks
- Use white-opacity borders (4-12%) for containment — they're more important than shadows here
- Reserve Electric Cyan (`#00ffff`) for high-signal moments only — CTAs, glows, interactive accents
- Pair abcDiatype with JetBrains Mono to reinforce the developer-tool identity
- Use the hard-offset shadow (`4px 4px`) intentionally on select elements for brutalist personality
- Keep button text dark (`oklch(0.145 0 0)`) even on the darkest backgrounds — buttons carry their own surface
- Layer opacity-based borders to create subtle depth without shadows
- Use uppercase + letter-spacing only for tiny overline labels (12px or smaller)
### Don't
- Don't use bright backgrounds or light surfaces as primary containers
- Don't apply heavy shadows everywhere — depth comes from border opacity, not box-shadow
- Don't use Composio Cobalt (`#0007cd`) as a text color — it's too dark on dark and too saturated on light
- Don't increase heading line-heights beyond 1.2 — the compressed feel is core to the identity
- Don't use bold (700) weight for body or heading text — 400-500 is the ceiling
- Don't mix warm colors — the palette is strictly cool (blue, cyan, white, black)
- Don't use border-radius larger than 4px on content cards — the precision of near-square corners is intentional
- Don't place Electric Cyan at full opacity on large surfaces — it's an accent, used at 12% max for backgrounds
- Don't use decorative serif or handwritten fonts — the entire identity is geometric sans + monospace
- Don't skip the monospace font for technical content — JetBrains Mono is not decorative, it's a credibility signal
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <768px | Single column, hamburger nav, full-width cards, reduced section padding, hero text scales down to ~28-40px |
| Tablet | 768-1024px | 2-column grid for cards, condensed nav, slightly reduced hero text |
| Desktop | 1024-1440px | Full multi-column layout, expanded nav with all links visible, large hero typography (64px) |
| Large Desktop | >1440px | Max-width container centered, generous horizontal margins |
### Touch Targets
- Minimum touch target: 44x44px for all interactive elements
- Buttons use comfortable padding (8px 24px minimum) ensuring adequate touch area
- Nav links spaced with sufficient gap for thumb navigation
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Full horizontal nav on desktop collapses to hamburger on mobile
- **Feature grids**: 3-column → 2-column → single-column stacking
- **Hero text**: 64px → 40px → 28px progressive scaling
- **Section padding**: Reduces proportionally but maintains generous vertical rhythm
- **Cards**: Stack vertically on mobile with full-width treatment
- **Code blocks**: Horizontal scroll on smaller viewports rather than wrapping
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots scale proportionally within their containers
- Dark-themed images maintain contrast on the dark background at all sizes
- Gradient glow effects scale with container size
- No visible art direction changes between breakpoints — same crops, proportional scaling
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary CTA: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Page Background: "Void Black (#0f0f0f)"
- Brand Accent: "Composio Cobalt (#0007cd)"
- Glow Accent: "Electric Cyan (#00ffff)"

- Card Border: "Border Mist 10 (rgba(255,255,255,0.10))"
- Button Border: "Signal Blue (#0089ff)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a feature card with a near-black background (#000000), barely visible white border at 10% opacity, subtly rounded corners (4px), and a hard-offset shadow (4px right, 4px down, 15% black). Use Pure White for the title in abcDiatype at 24px weight 500, and Ghost White (60% opacity) for the description at 16px."
- "Design a primary CTA button with a solid white background, near-black text, comfortable padding (8px vertical, 24px horizontal), and subtly rounded corners. Place it next to a secondary button with transparent background, Signal Blue border, and matching padding."
- "Build a hero section on Void Black (#0f0f0f) with a massive heading at 64px, line-height 0.87, in abcDiatype. Center the text. Add a subtle blue-to-black gradient glow behind the content. Include a white CTA button and a cyan-accented secondary button below."
- "Create a code snippet display using JetBrains Mono at 14px with -0.28px letter-spacing on a black background. Add a Border Mist 10 border (rgba(255,255,255,0.10)) and 4px radius. Show syntax-highlighted content with white and cyan text."
- "Design a navigation bar on Void Black with the Composio wordmark in white on the left, 4-5 nav links in white abcDiatype at 16px, and a white-fill CTA button on the right. Add a Border Mist 06 bottom border."
### Iteration Guide
When refining existing screens generated with this design system:
1. Focus on ONE component at a time
2. Reference specific color names and hex codes from this document — "use Ghost White (rgba(255,255,255,0.6))" not "make it lighter"
3. Use natural language descriptions — "make the border barely visible" = Border Mist 04-06
4. Describe the desired "feel" alongside specific measurements — "compressed and authoritative heading at 48px with line-height 1.0"
5. For glow effects, specify "Electric Cyan at 12% opacity as a radial gradient behind the element"
6. Always specify which font — abcDiatype for marketing, JetBrains Mono for technical/code content

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Cursor's website is a study in warm minimalism meets code-editor elegance. The entire experience is built on a warm off-white canvas (`#f2f1ed`) with dark warm-brown text (`#26251e`) -- not pure black, not neutral gray, but a deeply warm near-black with a yellowish undertone that evokes old paper, ink, and craft. This warmth permeates every surface: backgrounds lean toward cream (`#e6e5e0`, `#ebeae5`), borders dissolve into transparent warm overlays using `oklab` color space, and even the error state (`#cf2d56`) carries warmth rather than clinical red. The result feels more like a premium print publication than a tech website.
The custom CursorGothic font is the typographic signature -- a gothic sans-serif with aggressive negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-2.16px at 72px) that creates a compressed, engineered feel. As a secondary voice, the jjannon serif font (with OpenType `"cswh"` contextual swash alternates) provides literary counterpoint for body copy and editorial passages. The monospace voice comes from berkeleyMono, a refined coding font that connects the marketing site to Cursor's core identity as a code editor. This three-font system (gothic display, serif body, mono code) gives Cursor one of the most typographically rich palettes in developer tooling.
The border system is particularly distinctive -- Cursor uses `oklab()` color space for border colors, applying warm brown at various alpha levels (0.1, 0.2, 0.55) to create borders that feel organic rather than mechanical. The signature border color `oklab(0.263084 -0.00230259 0.0124794 / 0.1)` is not a simple rgba value but a perceptually uniform color that maintains visual consistency across different backgrounds.
**Key Characteristics:**
- CursorGothic with aggressive negative letter-spacing (-2.16px at 72px, -0.72px at 36px) for compressed display headings
- jjannon serif for body text with OpenType `"cswh"` (contextual swash alternates)
- berkeleyMono for code and technical labels
- Warm off-white background (`#f2f1ed`) instead of pure white -- the entire system is warm-shifted
- Primary text color `#26251e` (warm near-black with yellow undertone)
- Accent orange `#f54e00` for brand highlight and links
- oklab-space borders at various alpha levels for perceptually uniform edge treatment
- Pill-shaped elements with extreme radius (33.5M px, effectively full-pill)
- 8px base spacing system with fine-grained sub-8px increments (1.5px, 2px, 2.5px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px)
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Cursor Dark** (`#26251e`): Primary text, headings, dark UI surfaces. A warm near-black with distinct yellow-brown undertone -- the defining color of the system.
- **Cursor Cream** (`#f2f1ed`): Page background, primary surface. Not white but a warm cream that sets the entire warm tone.
- **Cursor Light** (`#e6e5e0`): Secondary surface, button backgrounds, card fills. A slightly warmer, slightly darker cream.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Used sparingly for maximum contrast elements and specific surface highlights.
- **True Black** (`#000000`): Minimal use, specific code/console contexts.
### Accent
- **Cursor Orange** (`#f54e00`): Brand accent, `--color-accent`. A vibrant red-orange used for primary CTAs, active links, and brand moments. Warm and urgent.
- **Gold** (`#c08532`): Secondary accent, warm gold for premium or highlighted contexts.
### Semantic
- **Error** (`#cf2d56`): `--color-error`. A warm crimson-rose rather than cold red.
- **Success** (`#1f8a65`): `--color-success`. A muted teal-green, warm-shifted.
### Timeline / Feature Colors
- **Thinking** (`#dfa88f`): Warm peach for "thinking" state in AI timeline.
- **Grep** (`#9fc9a2`): Soft sage green for search/grep operations.
- **Read** (`#9fbbe0`): Soft blue for file reading operations.
- **Edit** (`#c0a8dd`): Soft lavender for editing operations.
### Surface Scale

- **Border Solid** (`#26251e`): Full-opacity dark border for maximum contrast.
- **Border Light** (`#f2f1ed`): Light border matching page background.
### Shadows & Depth
- **Card Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.14) 0px 28px 70px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 14px 32px, oklab(0.263084 -0.00230259 0.0124794 / 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px`): Heavy elevated card with warm oklab border ring.
- **Ambient Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0px 16px, rgba(0,0,0,0.008) 0px 0px 8px`): Subtle ambient glow for floating elements.

| Title Small | CursorGothic | 22px (1.38rem) | 400 | 1.30 (tight) | -0.11px | Smaller titles, list headings |
| Body Serif | jjannon | 19.2px (1.20rem) | 500 | 1.50 | normal | Editorial body with `"cswh"` |
| Body Serif SM | jjannon | 17.28px (1.08rem) | 400 | 1.35 | normal | Standard body text, descriptions |
| Body Sans | CursorGothic | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal/0.08px | UI body text |
| Button Label | CursorGothic | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Primary button text |
| Button Caption | CursorGothic | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.50 | 0.14px | Secondary button with `"ss09"` |
| Caption | CursorGothic | 11px (0.69rem) | 400-500 | 1.50 | normal | Small captions, metadata |
| System Heading | system-ui | 20px (1.25rem) | 700 | 1.55 | normal | System UI headings |

| System Micro | system-ui | 11px (0.69rem) | 500 | 1.27 (tight) | 0.048px | Uppercase micro labels |
| Mono Body | berkeleyMono | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.67 (relaxed) | normal | Code blocks |
| Mono Small | berkeleyMono | 11px (0.69rem) | 400 | 1.33 | -0.275px | Inline code, terminal |
| Lato Heading | Lato | 16px (1.00rem) | 600 | 1.33 | normal | Lato section headings |
| Lato Caption | Lato | 14px (0.88rem) | 400-600 | 1.33 | normal | Lato captions |
| Lato Micro | Lato | 12px (0.75rem) | 400-600 | 1.27 (tight) | 0.053px | Lato small labels |
### Principles
- **Gothic compression for impact**: CursorGothic at display sizes uses -2.16px letter-spacing at 72px, progressively relaxing: -0.72px at 36px, -0.325px at 26px, -0.11px at 22px, normal at 16px and below. The tracking creates a sense of precision engineering.
- **Serif for soul**: jjannon provides literary warmth. The `"cswh"` feature adds contextual swash alternates that give body text a calligraphic quality.
- **Three typographic voices**: Gothic (display/UI), serif (editorial/body), mono (code/technical). Each serves a distinct communication purpose.
- **Weight restraint**: CursorGothic uses weight 400 almost exclusively, relying on size and tracking for hierarchy rather than weight. System-ui components use 500-700 for functional emphasis.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Fine scale: 1.5px, 2px, 2.5px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px (sub-8px for micro-adjustments)
- Standard scale: 8px, 10px, 12px, 14px (derived from extraction)
- Extended scale (inferred): 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px, 96px
- Notable: fine-grained sub-8px increments for precise icon/text alignment
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 1200px
- Hero: centered single-column with generous top padding (80-120px)
- Feature sections: 2-3 column grids for cards and features
- Full-width sections with warm cream or slightly darker backgrounds
- Sidebar layouts for documentation and settings pages
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Warm negative space**: The cream background means whitespace has warmth and texture, unlike cold white minimalism. Large empty areas feel cozy rather than clinical.
- **Compressed text, open layout**: Aggressive negative letter-spacing on CursorGothic headlines is balanced by generous surrounding margins. Text is dense; space around it breathes.
- **Section variation**: Alternating surface tones (cream → lighter cream → cream) create subtle section differentiation without harsh boundaries.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (1.5px): Fine detail elements
- Small (2px): Inline elements, code spans
- Medium (3px): Small containers, inline badges
- Standard (4px): Cards, images, compact buttons
- Comfortable (8px): Primary buttons, cards, menus
- Featured (10px): Larger containers, featured cards
- Full Pill (33.5M px / 9999px): Pill buttons, tags, badges
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page background, text blocks |
| Border Ring (Level 1) | `oklab(0.263 / 0.1) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Standard card/container border (warm oklab) |
| Border Medium (Level 1b) | `oklab(0.263 / 0.2) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Emphasized borders, active states |
| Ambient (Level 2) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0px 16px, rgba(0,0,0,0.008) 0px 0px 8px` | Floating elements, subtle glow |
| Elevated Card (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.14) 0px 28px 70px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 14px 32px, oklab ring` | Modals, popovers, elevated cards |
| Focus | `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px` on button focus | Interactive focus feedback |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Cursor's depth system is built around two ideas. First, borders use perceptually uniform oklab color space rather than rgba, ensuring warm brown borders look consistent across different background tones. Second, elevation shadows use dramatically large blur values (28px, 70px) with moderate opacity (0.14, 0.1), creating a diffused, atmospheric lift rather than hard-edged drop shadows. Cards don't feel like they float above the page -- they feel like the page has gently opened a space for them.
### Decorative Depth
- Warm cream surface variations create subtle tonal depth without shadows
- oklab borders at 10% and 20% create a spectrum of edge definition
- No harsh divider lines -- section separation through background tone shifts and spacing
## 7. Interaction & Motion
### Hover States
- Buttons: text color shifts to `--color-error` (`#cf2d56`) on hover -- a distinctive warm crimson that signals interactivity
- Links: color shift to accent orange (`#f54e00`) or underline decoration with `rgba(38, 37, 30, 0.4)`
- Cards: shadow intensification on hover (ambient → elevated)
### Focus States
- Shadow-based focus: `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px` for depth-based focus indication
- Border focus: `oklab(0.263 / 0.2)` (20% border) for input/form focus
- Consistent warm tone in all focus states -- no cold blue focus rings
### Transitions
- Color transitions: 150ms ease for text/background color changes
- Shadow transitions: 200ms ease for elevation changes
- Transform: subtle scale or translate for interactive feedback
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <600px | Single column, reduced padding, stacked navigation |
| Tablet Small | 600-768px | 2-column grids begin |
| Tablet | 768-900px | Expanded card grids, sidebar appears |
| Desktop Small | 900-1279px | Full layout forming |
| Desktop | >1279px | Full layout, maximum content width |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use comfortable padding (6px-14px vertical, 8px-14px horizontal)
- Pill buttons maintain tap-friendly sizing with 3px-10px padding
- Navigation links at 14px with adequate spacing for touch
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 72px CursorGothic → 36px → 26px on smaller screens, maintaining proportional letter-spacing
- Navigation: horizontal links → hamburger menu on mobile
- Feature cards: 3-column → 2-column → single column stacked
- Code editor screenshots: maintain aspect ratio, may shrink with border treatment preserved
- Timeline visualization: horizontal → vertical stacking
- Section spacing: 80px+ → 48px → 32px on mobile
### Image Behavior
- Editor screenshots maintain warm border treatment at all sizes
- AI timeline adapts from horizontal to vertical layout
- Product screenshots use responsive images with consistent border radius
- Full-width hero images scale proportionally
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary CTA background: `#ebeae5` (warm cream button)
- Page background: `#f2f1ed` (warm off-white)
- Text color: `#26251e` (warm near-black)
- Secondary text: `rgba(38, 37, 30, 0.55)` (55% warm brown)
- Accent: `#f54e00` (orange)
- Error/hover: `#cf2d56` (warm crimson)
- Success: `#1f8a65` (muted teal)
- Border: `oklab(0.263084 -0.00230259 0.0124794 / 0.1)` or `rgba(38, 37, 30, 0.1)` as fallback
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on `#f2f1ed` warm cream background. Headline at 72px CursorGothic weight 400, line-height 1.10, letter-spacing -2.16px, color `#26251e`. Subtitle at 17.28px jjannon weight 400, line-height 1.35, color `rgba(38,37,30,0.55)`. Primary CTA button (`#ebeae5` bg, 8px radius, 10px 14px padding) with hover text shift to `#cf2d56`."
- "Design a card: `#e6e5e0` background, border `1px solid rgba(38,37,30,0.1)`. Radius 8px. Title at 22px CursorGothic weight 400, letter-spacing -0.11px. Body at 17.28px jjannon weight 400, color `rgba(38,37,30,0.55)`. Use `#f54e00` for link accents."
- "Build a pill tag: `#e6e5e0` background, `rgba(38,37,30,0.6)` text, full-pill radius (9999px), 3px 8px padding, 14px CursorGothic weight 400."
- "Create navigation: sticky `#f2f1ed` background with backdrop-filter blur. 14px system-ui weight 500 for links, `#26251e` text. CTA button right-aligned with `#ebeae5` bg and 8px radius. Bottom border `1px solid rgba(38,37,30,0.1)`."
- "Design an AI timeline showing four steps: Thinking (`#dfa88f`), Grep (`#9fc9a2`), Read (`#9fbbe0`), Edit (`#c0a8dd`). Each step: 14px system-ui label + 16px CursorGothic description + vertical connecting line in `rgba(38,37,30,0.1)`."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always use warm tones -- `#f2f1ed` background, `#26251e` text, never pure white/black for primary surfaces
2. Letter-spacing scales with font size for CursorGothic: -2.16px at 72px, -0.72px at 36px, -0.325px at 26px, normal at 16px
3. Use `rgba(38, 37, 30, alpha)` as a CSS-compatible fallback for oklab borders
4. Three fonts, three voices: CursorGothic (display/UI), jjannon (editorial), berkeleyMono (code)
5. Pill shapes (9999px radius) for tags and filters; 8px radius for primary buttons and cards
6. Hover states use `#cf2d56` text color -- the warm crimson shift is a signature interaction
7. Shadows use large blur values (28px, 70px) for diffused atmospheric depth
8. The sub-8px spacing scale (1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6px) is critical for icon/text micro-alignment

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
ElevenLabs' website is a study in restrained elegance — a near-white canvas (`#ffffff`, `#f5f5f5`) where typography and subtle shadows do all the heavy lifting. The design feels like a premium audio product brochure: clean, spacious, and confident enough to let the content speak (literally, given ElevenLabs makes voice AI). There's an almost Apple-like quality to the whitespace strategy, but warmer — the occasional warm stone tint (`#f5f2ef`, `#777169`) prevents the purity from feeling clinical.
The typography system is built on a fascinating duality: Waldenburg at weight 300 (light) for display headings creates ethereal, whisper-thin titles that feel like sound waves rendered in type — delicate, precise, and surprisingly impactful at large sizes. This light-weight display approach is the design's signature — where most sites use bold headings to grab attention, ElevenLabs uses lightness to create intrigue. Inter handles all body and UI text with workmanlike reliability, using slight positive letter-spacing (0.14px0.18px) that gives body text an airy, well-spaced quality. WaldenburgFH appears as a bold uppercase variant for specific button labels.
What makes ElevenLabs distinctive is its multi-layered shadow system. Rather than simple box-shadows, elements use complex stacks: inset border-shadows (`rgba(0,0,0,0.075) 0px 0px 0px 0.5px inset`), outline shadows (`rgba(0,0,0,0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px`), and soft elevation shadows (`rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 4px 4px`) — all at remarkably low opacities. The result is a design where surfaces seem to barely exist, floating just above the page with the lightest possible touch. Pill-shaped buttons (9999px) with warm-tinted backgrounds (`rgba(245,242,239,0.8)`) and warm shadows (`rgba(78,50,23,0.04)`) add a tactile, physical quality.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Near-white canvas with warm undertones (`#f5f5f5`, `#f5f2ef`)
- Waldenburg weight 300 (light) for display — ethereal, whisper-thin headings
- Inter with positive letter-spacing (0.140.18px) for body — airy readability
- Multi-layered shadow stacks at sub-0.1 opacity — surfaces barely exist
- Pill buttons (9999px) with warm stone-tinted backgrounds
- WaldenburgFH bold uppercase for specific CTA labels
- Warm shadow tints: `rgba(78, 50, 23, 0.04)` — shadows have color, not just darkness
- Geist Mono / ui-monospace for code snippets

### Principles
- **Light as the hero weight**: Waldenburg at 300 is the defining typographic choice. Where other design systems use bold for impact, ElevenLabs uses lightness — thin strokes that feel like audio waveforms, creating intrigue through restraint.
- **Positive letter-spacing on body**: Inter uses +0.14px to +0.18px tracking across body text, creating an airy, well-spaced reading rhythm that contrasts with the tight display tracking (-0.96px).
- **WaldenburgFH for emphasis**: A bold (700) uppercase variant of Waldenburg appears only in specific CTA button labels with 0.7px letter-spacing — the one place where the type system gets loud.
- **Monospace as ambient**: Geist Mono at relaxed line-height (1.85) for code blocks feels unhurried and readable.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 3px, 4px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 28px, 32px, 40px
### Grid & Container
- Centered content with generous max-width
- Single-column hero, expanding to feature grids
- Full-width gradient sections for product showcases
- White card grids on light gray backgrounds
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Apple-like generosity**: Massive vertical spacing between sections creates a premium, unhurried pace. Each section is an exhibit.
- **Warm emptiness**: The whitespace isn't cold — the warm stone undertones and warm shadows give empty space a tactile, physical quality.
- **Typography-led rhythm**: The light-weight Waldenburg headings create visual "whispers" that draw the eye through vast white space.
### Border Radius Scale
- Minimal (2px): Small links, inline elements
- Subtle (4px): Nav items, tab panels, tags
- Standard (8px): Small containers
- Comfortable (10px12px): Medium cards, dropdowns
- Card (16px): Standard cards, articles
- Large (18px20px): Featured cards, code panels
- Section (24px): Large panels, section containers
- Warm Button (30px): Warm stone CTA
- Pill (9999px): Primary buttons, navigation pills
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page background, text blocks |
| Inset Edge (Level 0.5) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.075) 0px 0px 0px 0.5px inset, #fff 0px 0px 0px 0px inset` | Internal border definition |
| Outline Ring (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px` + `rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 1px 2px` + `rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 2px 4px` | Shadow-as-border for cards |
| Card (Level 2) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 4px 4px` | Button elevation, prominent cards |
| Warm Lift (Level 3) | `rgba(78,50,23,0.04) 0px 6px 16px` | Featured CTAs — warm-tinted |
| Focus (Accessibility) | `var(--tw-ring-offset-shadow)` blue ring | Keyboard focus |
**Shadow Philosophy**: ElevenLabs uses the most refined shadow system of any design system analyzed. Every shadow is at sub-0.1 opacity, many include both outward cast AND inward inset components, and the warm CTA shadows use an actual warm color (`rgba(78,50,23,...)`) rather than neutral black. The inset half-pixel borders (`0px 0px 0px 0.5px inset`) create edges so subtle they're felt rather than seen — surfaces define themselves through the lightest possible touch.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Waldenburg weight 300 for all display headings — the lightness IS the brand
- Apply multi-layer shadows (inset + outline + elevation) at sub-0.1 opacity
- Use warm stone tints (`#f5f2ef`, `rgba(245,242,239,0.8)`) for featured elements
- Apply positive letter-spacing (+0.14px to +0.18px) on Inter body text
- Use 9999px radius for primary buttons — pill shape is standard
- Use warm-tinted shadows (`rgba(78,50,23,0.04)`) on featured CTAs
- Keep the page predominantly white with subtle gray section differentiation
- Use WaldenburgFH bold uppercase ONLY for specific CTA button labels
### Don't
- Don't use bold (700) Waldenburg for headings — weight 300 is non-negotiable
- Don't use heavy shadows (>0.1 opacity) — the ethereal quality requires whisper-level depth
- Don't use cool gray borders — the system is warm-tinted throughout
- Don't skip the inset shadow component — half-pixel inset borders define edges
- Don't apply negative letter-spacing to body text — Inter uses positive tracking
- Don't use sharp corners (<8px) on cards — the generous radius is structural
- Don't introduce brand colors — the palette is intentionally achromatic with warm undertones
- Don't make buttons opaque and heavy — the warm translucent stone treatment is the signature
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <1024px | Single column, hamburger nav, stacked sections |
| Desktop | >1024px | Full layout, horizontal nav, multi-column grids |
### Touch Targets
- Pill buttons with generous padding (12px20px)
- Navigation links at 15px with adequate spacing
- Select dropdowns maintain comfortable sizing
### Collapsing Strategy
- Navigation: horizontal → hamburger at 1024px
- Feature grids: multi-column → stacked
- Hero: maintains centered layout, font scales proportionally
- Gradient sections: full-width maintained, content stacks
- Spacing compresses proportionally
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots scale responsively
- Gradient backgrounds simplify on mobile
- Audio waveform previews maintain aspect ratio
- Rounded corners maintained across breakpoints
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`) or Light Gray (`#f5f5f5`)
- Text: Black (`#000000`)
- Secondary text: Dark Gray (`#4e4e4e`)
- Muted text: Warm Gray (`#777169`)
- Warm surface: Warm Stone (`rgba(245, 242, 239, 0.8)`)
- Border: `#e5e5e5` or `rgba(0,0,0,0.05)`
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero on white background. Headline at 48px Waldenburg weight 300, line-height 1.08, letter-spacing -0.96px, black text. Subtitle at 18px Inter weight 400, line-height 1.60, letter-spacing 0.18px, #4e4e4e text. Two pill buttons: black (9999px, 0px 14px padding) and warm stone (rgba(245,242,239,0.8), 30px radius, 12px 20px padding, warm shadow rgba(78,50,23,0.04) 0px 6px 16px)."
- "Design a card: white background, 20px radius. Shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.06) 0px 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 1px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 2px 4px. Title at 32px Waldenburg weight 300, body at 16px Inter weight 400 letter-spacing 0.16px, #4e4e4e."
- "Build a white pill button: white bg, 9999px radius. Shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0px 0px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 4px 4px. Text at 15px Inter weight 500."
- "Create an uppercase CTA label: 14px WaldenburgFH weight 700, text-transform uppercase, letter-spacing 0.7px."
- "Design navigation: white sticky header. Inter 15px weight 500. Black pill CTA right-aligned. Border-bottom: rgba(0,0,0,0.05)."
### Iteration Guide
1. Start with white — the warm undertone comes from shadows and stone surfaces, not backgrounds
2. Waldenburg 300 for headings — never bold, the lightness is the identity
3. Multi-layer shadows: always include inset + outline + elevation at sub-0.1 opacity
4. Positive letter-spacing on Inter body (+0.14px to +0.18px) — the airy reading quality
5. Warm stone CTA is the signature — `rgba(245,242,239,0.8)` with `rgba(78,50,23,0.04)` shadow
6. Pill (9999px) for buttons, generous radius (16px24px) for cards

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Expo's interface is a luminous, confidence-radiating developer platform built on the premise that tools for building apps should feel as polished as the apps themselves. The entire experience lives on a bright, airy canvas — a cool-tinted off-white (`#f0f0f3`) that gives the page a subtle technological coolness without the starkness of pure white. This is a site that breathes: enormous vertical spacing between sections creates a gallery-like pace where each feature gets its own "room."
The design language is decisively monochromatic — pure black (`#000000`) headlines against the lightest possible backgrounds, with a spectrum of cool blue-grays (`#60646c`, `#b0b4ba`, `#555860`) handling all secondary communication. Color is almost entirely absent from the interface itself; when it appears, it's reserved for product screenshots, app icons, and the React universe illustration — making the actual content burst with life against the neutral canvas.
What makes Expo distinctive is its pill-shaped geometry. Buttons, tabs, video containers, and even images use generously rounded or fully pill-shaped corners (24px9999px), creating an organic, approachable feel that contradicts the typical sharp-edged developer tool aesthetic. Combined with tight letter-spacing on massive headlines (-1.6px to -3px at 64px), the result is a design that's simultaneously premium and friendly — like an Apple product page reimagined for developers.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Luminous cool-white canvas (`#f0f0f3`) with gallery-like vertical spacing
- Strictly monochromatic: pure black headlines, cool blue-gray body text, no decorative color
- Pill-shaped geometry everywhere — buttons, tabs, containers, images (24px9999px radius)
- Massive display headlines (64px) with extreme negative letter-spacing (-1.6px to -3px)
- Inter as the sole typeface, used at weights 400900 for full expressive range
- Whisper-soft shadows that barely lift elements from the surface
- Product screenshots as the only source of color in the interface
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Expo Black** (`#000000`): The absolute anchor — used for primary headlines, CTA buttons, and the brand identity. Pure black on cool white creates maximum contrast without feeling aggressive.
- **Near Black** (`#1c2024`): The primary text color for body content — a barely perceptible blue-black that's softer than pure #000 for extended reading.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Link Cobalt** (`#0d74ce`): The standard link color — a trustworthy, saturated blue that signals interactivity without competing with the monochrome hierarchy.
- **Legal Blue** (`#476cff`): A brighter, more saturated blue for legal/footer links — slightly more attention-grabbing than Link Cobalt.
- **Widget Sky** (`#47c2ff`): A light, friendly cyan-blue for widget branding elements — the brightest accent in the system.
- **Preview Purple** (`#8145b5`): A rich violet used for "preview" or beta feature indicators — creating clear visual distinction from standard content.
### Surface & Background
- **Cloud Gray** (`#f0f0f3`): The primary page background — a cool off-white with the faintest blue-violet tint. Not warm, not sterile — precisely technological.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Card surfaces, button backgrounds, and elevated content containers. Creates a clear "lifted" distinction from Cloud Gray.
- **Widget Dark** (`#1a1a1a`): Dark surface for dark-theme widgets and overlay elements.
- **Banner Dark** (`#171717`): The darkest surface variant, used for promotional banners and high-contrast containers.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Slate Gray** (`#60646c`): The workhorse secondary text color (305 instances). A cool blue-gray that's authoritative without being heavy.
- **Mid Slate** (`#555860`): Slightly darker than Slate, used for emphasized secondary text.
- **Silver** (`#b0b4ba`): Tertiary text, placeholders, and de-emphasized metadata. Comfortably readable but clearly receded.
- **Pewter** (`#999999`): Accordion icons and deeply de-emphasized UI elements in dark contexts.
- **Light Silver** (`#cccccc`): Arrow icons and decorative elements in dark contexts.
- **Dark Slate** (`#363a3f`): Borders on dark surfaces, switch tracks, and emphasized containment.
- **Charcoal** (`#333333`): Dark mode switch backgrounds and deep secondary surfaces.
### Semantic & Accent
- **Warning Amber** (`#ab6400`): A warm, deep amber for warning states — deliberately not bright yellow, conveying seriousness.
- **Destructive Rose** (`#eb8e90`): A soft pink-coral for disabled destructive actions — gentler than typical red, reducing alarm fatigue.
- **Border Lavender** (`#e0e1e6`): Standard card/container borders — a cool lavender-gray that's visible without being heavy.
- **Input Border** (`#d9d9e0`): Button and form element borders — slightly warmer/darker than card borders for interactive elements.
- **Dark Focus Ring** (`#2547d0`): Deep blue for keyboard focus indicators in dark theme contexts.
### Gradient System
- The design is notably **gradient-free** in the interface layer. Visual richness comes from product screenshots, the React universe illustration, and careful shadow layering rather than color gradients. This absence IS the design decision — gradients would undermine the clinical precision.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Inter`, with fallbacks: `-apple-system, system-ui`
- **Monospace**: `JetBrains Mono`, with fallback: `ui-monospace`
- **System Fallback**: `system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | Inter | 64px (4rem) | 700900 | 1.10 (tight) | -1.6px to -3px | Maximum impact, extreme tracking |
| Section Heading | Inter | 48px (3rem) | 600 | 1.10 (tight) | -2px | Feature section anchors |
| Sub-heading | Inter | 20px (1.25rem) | 600 | 1.20 (tight) | -0.25px | Card titles, feature names |
| Body Large | Inter | 18px (1.13rem) | 400500 | 1.40 | normal | Intro paragraphs, section descriptions |
| Body / Button | Inter | 16px (1rem) | 400700 | 1.251.40 | normal | Standard text, nav links, buttons |
| Caption / Label | Inter | 14px (0.88rem) | 400600 | 1.001.40 | normal | Descriptions, metadata, badge text |
| Tag / Small | Inter | 12px (0.75rem) | 500 | 1.001.60 | normal | Smallest sans-serif text, badges |
| Code Body | JetBrains Mono | 16px (1rem) | 400600 | 1.40 | normal | Inline code, terminal commands |
| Code Caption | JetBrains Mono | 14px (0.88rem) | 400600 | 1.40 | normal | Code snippets, technical labels |
| Code Small | JetBrains Mono | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.60 | normal | Uppercase tech tags |
### Principles
- **One typeface, full expression**: Inter is the only sans-serif, used from weight 400 (regular) through 900 (black). This gives the design a unified voice while still achieving dramatic contrast between whisper-light body text and thundering display headlines.
- **Extreme negative tracking at scale**: Headlines at 64px use -1.6px to -3px letter-spacing, creating ultra-dense text blocks that feel like logotypes. This aggressive compression is the signature typographic move.
- **Weight as hierarchy**: 700900 for display, 600 for headings, 500 for emphasis, 400 for body. The jumps are decisive — no ambiguous in-between weights.
- **Consistent 1.40 body line-height**: Nearly all body and UI text shares 1.40 line-height, creating a rhythmic vertical consistency.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Primary (White on border)**
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Text: Near Black (`#1c2024`)
- Padding: 0px 12px (compact, content-driven height)
- Border: thin solid Input Border (`1px solid #d9d9e0`)
- Radius: subtly rounded (6px)
- Shadow: subtle combined shadow on hover
- The understated default — clean, professional, unheroic
**Primary Pill**
- Same as Primary but with pill-shaped radius (9999px)
- Used for hero CTAs and high-emphasis actions
- The extra roundness signals "start here"
**Dark Primary**
- Background: Expo Black (`#000000`)
- Text: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Pill-shaped (9999px) or generously rounded (3236px)
- No border (black IS the border)
- The maximum-emphasis CTA — reserved for primary conversion actions
### Cards & Containers
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`) — clearly lifted from Cloud Gray page
- Border: thin solid Border Lavender (`1px solid #e0e1e6`) for standard cards
- Radius: comfortably rounded (8px) for standard cards; generously rounded (1624px) for featured containers
- Shadow Level 1: Whisper (`rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 3px 6px, rgba(0,0,0,0.07) 0px 2px 4px`) — barely perceptible lift
- Shadow Level 2: Standard (`rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 10px 20px, rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px 3px 6px`) — clear floating elevation
- Hover: likely subtle shadow deepening or background shift

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 64px, 80px, 96px, 144px
- Button padding: 0px 12px (unusually compact — height driven by line-height)
- Card internal padding: approximately 2432px
- Section vertical spacing: enormous (estimated 96144px between major sections)
- Component gap: 1624px between sibling elements
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: approximately 12001400px, centered
- Hero: centered single-column with massive breathing room
- Feature sections: alternating layouts (image left/right, full-width showcases)
- Card grids: 23 column for feature highlights
- Full-width sections with contained inner content
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Gallery-like pacing**: Each section feels like its own exhibit, surrounded by vast empty space. This creates a premium, unhurried browsing experience.
- **Breathing room is the design**: The generous whitespace IS the primary design element — it communicates confidence, quality, and that each feature deserves individual attention.
- **Content islands**: Sections float as isolated "islands" in the white space, connected by scrolling rather than visual continuation.
### Border Radius Scale
- Nearly squared (4px): Small inline elements, tags
- Subtly rounded (6px): Buttons, form inputs, combo boxes — the functional interactive radius
- Comfortably rounded (8px): Standard content cards, containers
- Generously rounded (16px): Feature tabs, content panels
- Very rounded (24px): Buttons, video/image containers, tabpanels — the signature softness
- Highly rounded (3236px): Hero CTAs, status badges, nav buttons
- Pill-shaped (9999px): Primary action buttons, tags, avatars — maximum friendliness
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Cloud Gray page background, inline text |
| Surface (Level 1) | White bg, no shadow | Standard white cards on Cloud Gray |
| Whisper (Level 2) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 3px 6px` + `rgba(0,0,0,0.07) 0px 2px 4px` | Subtle card lift, hover states |
| Elevated (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 10px 20px` + `rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px 3px 6px` | Feature showcases, product screenshots |
| Modal (Level 4) | Dark overlay (`--dialog-overlay-background-color`) + heavy shadow | Dialogs, overlays |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Expo uses shadows as gentle whispers rather than architectural statements. The primary depth mechanism is **background color contrast** — white cards floating on Cloud Gray — rather than shadow casting. When shadows appear, they're soft, diffused, and directional (downward), creating the feeling of paper hovering millimeters above a desk.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Cloud Gray (`#f0f0f3`) as the page background and Pure White (`#ffffff`) for elevated cards — the two-tone light system is essential
- Keep display headlines at extreme negative letter-spacing (-1.6px to -3px at 64px) for the signature compressed look
- Use pill-shaped (9999px) radius for primary CTA buttons — the organic shape is core to the identity
- Reserve black (`#000000`) for headlines and primary CTAs — it carries maximum authority on the light canvas
- Use Slate Gray (`#60646c`) for secondary text — it's the precise balance between readable and receded
- Maintain enormous vertical spacing between sections (96px+) — the gallery pacing defines the premium feel
- Use product screenshots as the primary visual content — the interface stays monochrome, the products bring color
- Apply Inter at the full weight range (400900) — weight contrast IS the hierarchy
### Don't
- Don't introduce decorative colors into the interface chrome — the monochromatic palette is intentional
- Don't use sharp corners (border-radius < 6px) on interactive elements — the pill/rounded geometry is the signature
- Don't reduce section spacing below 64px — the breathing room is the design
- Don't use heavy drop shadows — depth comes from background contrast and whisper-soft shadows
- Don't mix in additional typefaces — Inter handles everything from display to caption
- Don't use letter-spacing wider than -0.25px on body text — extreme tracking is reserved for display only
- Don't use borders heavier than 2px — containment is subtle, achieved through background color and gentle borders
- Don't add gradients to the interface — visual richness comes from content, not decoration
- Don't use saturated colors outside of semantic contexts — the palette is strictly grayscale + functional blue
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <640px | Single column, hamburger nav, stacked cards, hero text scales to ~36px |
| Tablet | 6401024px | 2-column grids, condensed nav, medium hero text |
| Desktop | >1024px | Full multi-column layout, expanded nav, massive hero (64px) |
*Only one explicit breakpoint detected (640px), suggesting a fluid, container-query or min()/clamp()-based responsive system rather than fixed breakpoint snapping.*
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use generous radius (2436px) creating large, finger-friendly surfaces
- Navigation links spaced with adequate gap
- Status badge sized for touch (36px radius)
- Minimum recommended: 44x44px
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Full horizontal nav with CTA collapses to hamburger on mobile
- **Feature sections**: Multi-column → stacked single column
- **Hero text**: 64px → ~36px progressive scaling
- **Device previews**: Grid → stacked/carousel
- **Cards**: Side-by-side → vertical stacking
- **Spacing**: Reduces proportionally but maintains generous rhythm
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots scale proportionally
- Device mockups may simplify or show fewer devices on mobile
- Rounded corners maintained at all sizes
- Lazy loading for below-fold content
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary CTA / Headlines: "Expo Black (#000000)"
- Page Background: "Cloud Gray (#f0f0f3)"
- Card Surface: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Body Text: "Near Black (#1c2024)"
- Secondary Text: "Slate Gray (#60646c)"
- Borders: "Border Lavender (#e0e1e6)"
- Links: "Link Cobalt (#0d74ce)"
- Tertiary Text: "Silver (#b0b4ba)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Cloud Gray (#f0f0f3) with a massive headline at 64px Inter weight 700, line-height 1.10, letter-spacing -3px. Text in Expo Black (#000000). Below, add a subtitle in Slate Gray (#60646c) at 18px. Place a black pill-shaped CTA button (9999px radius) beneath."
- "Design a feature card on Pure White (#ffffff) with a 1px solid Border Lavender (#e0e1e6) border and comfortably rounded corners (8px). Title in Near Black (#1c2024) at 20px Inter weight 600, description in Slate Gray (#60646c) at 16px. Add a whisper shadow (rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 3px 6px)."
- "Build a navigation bar with Expo logo on the left, text links in Near Black (#1c2024) at 14px Inter weight 500, and a black pill CTA button on the right. Background: transparent with blur backdrop. Bottom border: 1px solid Border Lavender (#e0e1e6)."
- "Create a code block using JetBrains Mono at 14px on a Pure White surface with Border Lavender border and 8px radius. Code in Near Black, keywords in Link Cobalt (#0d74ce)."
- "Design a status badge pill (9999px radius) with a green dot and 'All Systems Operational' text in Inter 12px weight 500. Background: Pure White, border: 1px solid Input Border (#d9d9e0)."
### Iteration Guide
1. Focus on ONE component at a time
2. Reference specific color names and hex codes — "use Slate Gray (#60646c)" not "make it gray"
3. Use radius values deliberately — 6px for buttons, 8px for cards, 24px for images, 9999px for pills
4. Describe the "feel" alongside measurements — "enormous breathing room with 96px section spacing"
5. Always specify Inter and the exact weight — weight contrast IS the hierarchy
6. For shadows, specify "whisper shadow" or "standard elevation" from the elevation table
7. Keep the interface monochrome — let product content be the color

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Figma's interface is the design tool that designed itself — a masterclass in typographic sophistication where a custom variable font (figmaSans) modulates between razor-thin (weight 320) and bold (weight 700) with stops at unusual intermediates (330, 340, 450, 480, 540) that most type systems never explore. This granular weight control gives every text element a precisely calibrated visual weight, creating hierarchy through micro-differences rather than the blunt instrument of "regular vs bold."
The page presents a fascinating duality: the interface chrome is strictly black-and-white (literally only `#000000` and `#ffffff` detected as colors), while the hero section and product showcases explode with vibrant multi-color gradients — electric greens, bright yellows, deep purples, hot pinks. This separation means the design system itself is colorless, treating the product's colorful output as the hero content. Figma's marketing page is essentially a white gallery wall displaying colorful art.
What makes Figma distinctive beyond the variable font is its circle-and-pill geometry. Buttons use 50px radius (pill) or 50% (perfect circle for icon buttons), creating an organic, tool-palette-like feel. The dashed-outline focus indicator (`dashed 2px`) is a deliberate design choice that echoes selection handles in the Figma editor itself — the website's UI language references the product's UI language.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Custom variable font (figmaSans) with unusual weight stops: 320, 330, 340, 450, 480, 540, 700
- Strictly black-and-white interface chrome — color exists only in product content
- figmaMono for uppercase technical labels with wide letter-spacing
- Pill (50px) and circular (50%) button geometry
- Dashed focus outlines echoing Figma's editor selection handles
- Vibrant multi-color hero gradients (green, yellow, purple, pink)
- OpenType `"kern"` feature enabled globally
- Negative letter-spacing throughout — even body text at -0.14px to -0.26px
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): All text, all solid buttons, all borders. The sole "color" of the interface.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): All backgrounds, white buttons, text on dark surfaces. The other half of the binary.
*Note: Figma's marketing site uses ONLY these two colors for its interface layer. All vibrant colors appear exclusively in product screenshots, hero gradients, and embedded content.*
### Surface & Background
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary page background and card surfaces.
- **Glass Black** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08)`): Subtle dark overlay for secondary circular buttons and glass effects.
- **Glass White** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.16)`): Frosted glass overlay for buttons on dark/colored surfaces.
### Gradient System
- **Hero Gradient**: A vibrant multi-stop gradient using electric green, bright yellow, deep purple, and hot pink. This gradient is the visual signature of the hero section — it represents the creative possibilities of the tool.
- **Product Section Gradients**: Individual product areas (Design, Dev Mode, Prototyping) may use distinct color themes in their showcases.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `figmaSans`, with fallbacks: `figmaSans Fallback, SF Pro Display, system-ui, helvetica`
- **Monospace / Labels**: `figmaMono`, with fallbacks: `figmaMono Fallback, SF Mono, menlo`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | figmaSans | 86px (5.38rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.72px | Maximum impact, extreme tracking |
| Section Heading | figmaSans | 64px (4rem) | 400 | 1.10 (tight) | -0.96px | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | figmaSans | 26px (1.63rem) | 540 | 1.35 | -0.26px | Emphasized section text |
| Sub-heading Light | figmaSans | 26px (1.63rem) | 340 | 1.35 | -0.26px | Light-weight section text |
| Feature Title | figmaSans | 24px (1.5rem) | 700 | 1.45 | normal | Bold card headings |
| Body Large | figmaSans | 20px (1.25rem) | 330450 | 1.301.40 | -0.1px to -0.14px | Descriptions, intros |
| Body / Button | figmaSans | 16px (1rem) | 330400 | 1.401.45 | -0.14px to normal | Standard body, nav, buttons |
| Body Light | figmaSans | 18px (1.13rem) | 320 | 1.45 | -0.26px to normal | Light-weight body text |
| Mono Label | figmaMono | 18px (1.13rem) | 400 | 1.30 (tight) | 0.54px | Uppercase section labels |
| Mono Small | figmaMono | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | 0.6px | Uppercase tiny tags |
### Principles
- **Variable font precision**: figmaSans uses weights that most systems never touch — 320, 330, 340, 450, 480, 540. This creates hierarchy through subtle weight differences rather than dramatic jumps. The difference between 330 and 340 is nearly imperceptible but structurally significant.
- **Light as the base**: Most body text uses 320340 (lighter than typical 400 "regular"), creating an ethereal, airy reading experience that matches the design-tool aesthetic.
- **Kern everywhere**: Every text element enables OpenType `"kern"` feature — kerning is not optional, it's structural.
- **Negative tracking by default**: Even body text uses -0.1px to -0.26px letter-spacing, creating universally tight text. Display text compresses further to -0.96px and -1.72px.
- **Mono for structure**: figmaMono in uppercase with positive letter-spacing (0.54px0.6px) creates technical signpost labels.
## 4. Component Stylings

- Each tab represents a Figma product area (Design, Dev Mode, Prototyping, etc.)
- Active tab highlighted
**Hero Gradient Section**
- Full-width vibrant multi-color gradient background
- White text overlay with 86px display heading
- Product screenshots floating within the gradient
**Dashed Focus Indicators**
- All interactive elements use `dashed 2px` outline on focus
- References the selection handles in the Figma editor
- A meta-design choice connecting website and product
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 4.5px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 46px, 48px, 50px
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: up to 1920px
- Hero: full-width gradient with centered content
- Product sections: alternating showcases
- Footer: dark full-width section
- Responsive from 559px to 1920px
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Gallery-like pacing**: Generous spacing lets each product section breathe as its own exhibit.
- **Color sections as visual breathing**: The gradient hero and product showcases provide chromatic relief between the monochrome interface sections.
### Border Radius Scale
- Minimal (2px): Small link elements
- Subtle (6px): Small containers, dividers
- Comfortable (8px): Cards, images, dialogs
- Pill (50px): Tab buttons, CTAs
- Circle (50%): Icon buttons, circular elements
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page background, most text |
| Surface (Level 1) | White card on gradient/dark section | Cards, product showcases |
| Elevated (Level 2) | Subtle shadow | Floating cards, hover states |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Figma uses shadows sparingly. The primary depth mechanisms are **background contrast** (white content on colorful/dark sections) and the inherent dimensionality of the product screenshots themselves.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use figmaSans with precise variable weights (320540) — the granular weight control IS the design
- Keep the interface strictly black-and-white — color comes from product content only
- Use pill (50px) and circular (50%) geometry for all interactive elements
- Apply dashed 2px focus outlines — the signature accessibility pattern
- Enable `"kern"` feature on all text
- Use figmaMono in uppercase with positive letter-spacing for labels
- Apply negative letter-spacing throughout (-0.1px to -1.72px)
### Don't
- Don't add interface colors — the monochrome palette is absolute
- Don't use standard font weights (400, 500, 600, 700) — use the variable font's unique stops (320, 330, 340, 450, 480, 540)
- Don't use sharp corners on buttons — pill and circular geometry only
- Don't use solid focus outlines — dashed is the signature
- Don't increase body font weight above 450 — the light-weight aesthetic is core
- Don't use positive letter-spacing on body text — it's always negative
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Small Mobile | <560px | Compact layout, stacked |
| Tablet | 560768px | Minor adjustments |
| Small Desktop | 768960px | 2-column layouts |
| Desktop | 9601280px | Standard layout |
| Large Desktop | 12801440px | Expanded |
| Ultra-wide | 14401920px | Maximum width |
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero text: 86px → 64px → 48px
- Product tabs: horizontal scroll on mobile
- Feature sections: stacked single column
- Footer: multi-column → stacked
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Everything: "Pure Black (#000000)" and "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Glass Dark: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08)"
- Glass Light: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.16)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero on a vibrant multi-color gradient (green, yellow, purple, pink). Headline at 86px figmaSans weight 400, line-height 1.0, letter-spacing -1.72px. White text. White pill CTA button (50px radius, 8px 18px padding)."
- "Design a product tab bar with pill-shaped buttons (50px radius). Active: Black bg, white text. Inactive: transparent, black text. figmaSans at 20px weight 480."
- "Build a section label: figmaMono 18px, uppercase, letter-spacing 0.54px, black text. Kern enabled."
- "Create body text at 20px figmaSans weight 330, line-height 1.40, letter-spacing -0.14px. Pure Black on white."
### Iteration Guide
1. Use variable font weight stops precisely: 320, 330, 340, 450, 480, 540, 700
2. Interface is always black + white — never add colors to chrome
3. Dashed focus outlines, not solid
4. Letter-spacing is always negative on body, always positive on mono labels
5. Pill (50px) for buttons/tabs, circle (50%) for icon buttons

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Framer's website is a cinematic, tool-obsessed dark canvas that radiates the confidence of a design tool built by designers who worship craft. The entire experience is drenched in pure black — not a warm charcoal or a cozy dark gray, but an absolute void (`#000000`) that makes every element, every screenshot, every typographic flourish feel like it's floating in deep space. This is a website that treats its own product UI as the hero art, embedding full-fidelity screenshots and interactive demos directly into the narrative flow.
The typography is the signature move: GT Walsheim with aggressively tight letter-spacing (as extreme as -5.5px on 110px display text) creates headlines that feel compressed, kinetic, almost spring-loaded — like words under pressure that might expand at any moment. The transition to Inter for body text is seamless, with extensive OpenType feature usage (`cv01`, `cv05`, `cv09`, `cv11`, `ss03`, `ss07`) that gives even small text a refined, custom feel. Framer Blue (`#0099ff`) is deployed sparingly but decisively — as link color, border accents, and subtle ring shadows — creating a cold, electric throughline against the warm-less black.
The overall effect is a nightclub for web designers: dark, precise, seductive, and unapologetically product-forward. Every section exists to showcase what the tool can do, with the website itself serving as proof of concept.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Pure black (`#000000`) void canvas — absolute dark, not warm or gray-tinted
- GT Walsheim display font with extreme negative letter-spacing (-5.5px at 110px)
- Framer Blue (`#0099ff`) as the sole accent color — cold, electric, precise
- Pill-shaped buttons (40px100px radius) — no sharp corners on interactive elements
- Product screenshots as hero art — the tool IS the marketing
- Frosted glass button variants using `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)` on dark surfaces
- Extensive OpenType feature usage across Inter for refined micro-typography
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Primary background, the void canvas that defines Framer's dark-first identity
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary text color on dark surfaces, button text on accent backgrounds
- **Framer Blue** (`#0099ff`): Primary accent color — links, borders, ring shadows, interactive highlights
### Secondary & Accent
- **Muted Silver** (`#a6a6a6`): Secondary text, subdued labels, dimmed descriptions on dark surfaces
- **Near Black** (`#090909`): Elevated dark surface, shadow ring color for subtle depth separation
### Surface & Background
- **Void Black** (`#000000`): Page background, primary canvas
- **Frosted White** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)`): Translucent button backgrounds, glass-effect surfaces on dark
- **Subtle White** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)`): Slightly more opaque frosted elements for hover states
### Neutrals & Text
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Heading text, high-emphasis body text
- **Muted Silver** (`#a6a6a6`): Body text, descriptions, secondary information
- **Ghost White** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6)`): Tertiary text, placeholders on dark surfaces
### Semantic & Accent
- **Framer Blue** (`#0099ff`): Links, interactive borders, focus rings
- **Blue Glow** (`rgba(0, 153, 255, 0.15)`): Focus ring shadow, subtle blue halo around interactive elements
- **Default Link Blue** (`#0000ee`): Standard browser link color (used sparingly in content areas)
### Gradient System
- No prominent gradient usage — Framer relies on pure flat black surfaces with occasional blue-tinted glows for depth
- Subtle radial glow effects behind product screenshots using Framer Blue at very low opacity

### Font Family
- **Display**: `GT Walsheim Framer Medium` / `GT Walsheim Medium` — custom geometric sans-serif, weight 500. Fallbacks: `GT Walsheim Framer Medium Placeholder`, system sans-serif
- **Body/UI**: `Inter Variable` / `Inter` — variable sans-serif with extensive OpenType features. Fallbacks: `Inter Placeholder`, `-apple-system`, `system-ui`

| Micro Uppercase | Inter Variable | 7px | 400 | 1.00 | 0.21px | uppercase transform |
### Principles
- **Compression as personality**: GT Walsheim's extreme negative letter-spacing (-5.5px at 110px) is the defining typographic gesture — headlines feel spring-loaded, urgent, almost breathless
- **OpenType maximalism**: Inter is deployed with 6+ OpenType features simultaneously (`cv01`, `cv05`, `cv09`, `cv11`, `ss03`, `ss07`), creating a subtly custom feel even at body sizes
- **Weight restraint on display**: All GT Walsheim usage is weight 500 (medium) — never bold, never regular. This creates a confident-but-not-aggressive display tone
- **Ultra-tight line heights**: Display text at 0.85 line-height means letters nearly overlap vertically — intentional density that rewards reading at arm's length
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
- **Frosted Pill**: `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)` background, black text (`#000000`), pill shape (40px radius). The glass-effect button that lives on dark surfaces — translucent, ambient, subtle
- **Solid White Pill**: `rgb(255, 255, 255)` background, black text (`#000000`), full pill shape (100px radius), padding `10px 15px`. The primary CTA — clean, high-contrast on dark, unmissable
- **Ghost**: No visible background, white text, relies on text styling alone. Hover reveals subtle frosted background
- **Transition**: Scale-based animations (matrix transform with 0.85 scale factor), opacity transitions for reveal effects
### Cards & Containers
- **Dark Surface Card**: Black or near-black (`#090909`) background, `rgba(0, 153, 255, 0.15) 0px 0px 0px 1px` blue ring shadow border, rounded corners (10px15px radius)
- **Elevated Card**: Multi-layer shadow — `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0px 0.5px 0px 0.5px` (subtle top highlight) + `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 10px 30px` (deep ambient shadow)
- **Product Screenshots**: Full-width or padded within dark containers, 8px12px border-radius for software UI previews
- **Hover**: Subtle glow increase on Framer Blue ring shadow, or brightness shift on frosted surfaces
### Inputs & Forms
- Minimal form presence on the marketing site
- Input fields follow dark theme: dark background, subtle border, white text
- Focus state: Framer Blue (`#0099ff`) ring border, `1px solid #0099ff`
- Placeholder text in `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4)`
### Navigation
- **Dark floating nav bar**: Black background with frosted glass effect, white text links
- **Nav links**: Inter at 15px, weight 400, white text with subtle hover opacity change
- **CTA button**: Pill-shaped, white or frosted, positioned at right end of nav
- **Mobile**: Collapses to hamburger menu, maintains dark theme
- **Sticky behavior**: Nav remains fixed at top on scroll
### Image Treatment
- **Product screenshots as hero art**: Full-width embedded UI screenshots with rounded corners (8px12px)
- **Dark-on-dark composition**: Screenshots placed on black backgrounds with subtle shadow for depth separation
- **16:9 and custom aspect ratios**: Product demos fill their containers
- **No decorative imagery**: All images are functional — showing the tool, the output, or the workflow
### Trust & Social Proof
- Customer logos and testimonials in muted gray on dark surfaces
- Minimal ornamentation — the product screenshots serve as the trust signal
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- **Base unit**: 8px
- **Scale**: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 15px, 20px, 30px, 35px
- **Section padding**: Large vertical spacing (80px120px between sections)
- **Card padding**: 15px30px internal padding
- **Component gaps**: 8px20px between related elements
### Grid & Container
- **Max width**: ~1200px container, centered
- **Column patterns**: Full-width hero, 2-column feature sections, single-column product showcases
- **Asymmetric layouts**: Feature sections often pair text (40%) with screenshot (60%)
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Breathe through darkness**: Generous vertical spacing between sections — the black background means whitespace manifests as void, creating dramatic pauses between content blocks
- **Dense within, spacious between**: Individual components are tightly composed (tight line-heights, compressed text) but float in generous surrounding space
- **Product-first density**: Screenshot areas are allowed to be dense and information-rich, contrasting with the sparse marketing text
### Border Radius Scale
- **1px**: Micro-elements, nearly squared precision edges
- **5px7px**: Small UI elements, image thumbnails — subtly softened
- **8px**: Standard component radius — code blocks, buttons, interactive elements
- **10px12px**: Cards, product screenshots — comfortably rounded
- **15px20px**: Large containers, feature cards — generously rounded
- **30px40px**: Navigation pills, pagination — noticeably rounded
- **100px**: Full pill shape — primary CTAs, tag elements
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Level 0 (Flat) | No shadow, pure black surface | Page background, empty areas |
| Level 1 (Ring) | `rgba(0, 153, 255, 0.15) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Card borders, interactive element outlines — Framer Blue glow ring |
| Level 2 (Contained) | `rgb(9, 9, 9) 0px 0px 0px 2px` | Near-black ring for subtle containment on dark surfaces |
| Level 3 (Floating) | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0px 0.5px 0px 0.5px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) 0px 10px 30px` | Elevated cards, floating elements — subtle white top-edge highlight + deep ambient shadow |
### Shadow Philosophy
Framer's elevation system is inverted from traditional light-theme designs. Instead of darker shadows on light backgrounds, Framer uses:
- **Blue-tinted ring shadows** at very low opacity (0.15) for containment — a signature move that subtly brands every bordered element
- **White edge highlights** (0.5px) on the top edge of elevated elements — simulating light hitting the top surface
- **Deep ambient shadows** for true floating elements — `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25)` at large spread (30px)
### Decorative Depth
- **Blue glow auras**: Subtle Framer Blue (`#0099ff`) radial gradients behind key interactive areas
- **No background blur/glassmorphism**: Despite the frosted button effect, there's no heavy glass blur usage — the translucency is achieved through simple rgba opacity
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use pure black (`#000000`) as the primary background — not dark gray, not charcoal
- Apply extreme negative letter-spacing on GT Walsheim display text (-3px to -5.5px)
- Keep all buttons pill-shaped (40px+ radius) — never use squared or slightly-rounded buttons
- Use Framer Blue (`#0099ff`) exclusively for interactive accents — links, borders, focus states
- Deploy `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)` for frosted glass surfaces on dark backgrounds
- Maintain GT Walsheim at weight 500 only — the medium weight IS the brand
- Use extensive OpenType features on Inter text (cv01, cv05, cv09, cv11, ss03, ss07)
- Let product screenshots be the visual centerpiece — the tool markets itself
- Apply blue ring shadows (`rgba(0, 153, 255, 0.15) 0px 0px 0px 1px`) for card containment
### Don't
- Use warm dark backgrounds (no `#1a1a1a`, `#2d2d2d`, or brownish blacks)
- Apply bold (700+) weight to GT Walsheim display text — medium 500 only
- Introduce additional accent colors beyond Framer Blue — this is a one-accent-color system
- Use large border-radius on non-interactive elements (cards use 10px15px, only buttons get 40px+)
- Add decorative imagery, illustrations, or icons — the product IS the illustration
- Use positive letter-spacing on headlines — everything is compressed, negative tracking
- Create heavy drop shadows — depth is communicated through subtle rings and minimal ambients
- Place light/white backgrounds behind content sections — the void is sacred
- Use serif or display-weight fonts — the system is geometric sans-serif only
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <809px | Single column, stacked feature sections, reduced hero text (62px→40px), hamburger nav |
| Tablet | 809px1199px | 2-column features begin, nav links partially visible, screenshots scale down |
| Desktop | >1199px | Full layout, expanded nav with all links + CTA, 110px display hero, side-by-side features |
### Touch Targets
- Pill buttons: minimum 40px height with 10px vertical padding — exceeds 44px WCAG minimum
- Nav links: 15px text with generous padding for touch accessibility
- Mobile CTA buttons: Full-width pills on mobile for easy thumb reach
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Full horizontal nav → hamburger menu at mobile breakpoint
- **Hero text**: 110px display → 85px → 62px → ~40px across breakpoints, maintaining extreme negative tracking proportionally
- **Feature sections**: Side-by-side (text + screenshot) → stacked vertically on mobile
- **Product screenshots**: Scale responsively within containers, maintaining aspect ratios
- **Section spacing**: Reduces proportionally — 120px desktop → 60px mobile
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots are responsive, scaling within their container boundaries
- No art direction changes — same crops across breakpoints
- Dark background ensures screenshots maintain visual impact at any size
- Screenshots lazy-load as user scrolls into view
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary Background: Void Black (`#000000`)
- Primary Text: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Accent/CTA: Framer Blue (`#0099ff`)
- Secondary Text: Muted Silver (`#a6a6a6`)
- Frosted Surface: Translucent White (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)`)
- Elevation Ring: Blue Glow (`rgba(0, 153, 255, 0.15)`)
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on pure black background with 110px GT Walsheim heading in white, letter-spacing -5.5px, line-height 0.85, and a pill-shaped white CTA button (100px radius) with black text"
- "Design a feature card on black background with a 1px Framer Blue ring shadow border (rgba(0,153,255,0.15)), 12px border-radius, white heading in Inter at 22px weight 700, and muted silver (a6a6a6) body text"
- "Build a navigation bar with black background, white Inter text links at 15px, and a frosted pill button (rgba(255,255,255,0.1) background, 40px radius) as the CTA"
- "Create a product showcase section with a full-width screenshot embedded on black, 10px border-radius, subtle multi-layer shadow (white 0.5px top highlight + rgba(0,0,0,0.25) 30px ambient)"
- "Design a pricing card using pure black surface, Framer Blue (#0099ff) accent for the selected plan border, white text hierarchy (24px Inter bold heading, 14px regular body), and a solid white pill CTA button"
### Iteration Guide
When refining existing screens generated with this design system:
1. Focus on ONE component at a time — the dark canvas makes each element precious
2. Always verify letter-spacing on GT Walsheim headings — the extreme negative tracking is non-negotiable
3. Check that Framer Blue appears ONLY on interactive elements — never as decorative background or text color for non-links
4. Ensure all buttons are pill-shaped — any squared corner immediately breaks the Framer aesthetic
5. Test frosted glass surfaces by checking they have exactly `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)` — too opaque looks like a bug, too transparent disappears

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
HashiCorp's website is enterprise infrastructure made tangible — a design system that must communicate the complexity of cloud infrastructure management while remaining approachable. The visual language splits between two modes: a clean white light-mode for informational sections and a dramatic dark-mode (`#15181e`, `#0d0e12`) for hero areas and product showcases, creating a day/night duality that mirrors the "build in light, deploy in dark" developer workflow.
The typography is anchored by a custom brand font (HashiCorp Sans, loaded as `__hashicorpSans_96f0ca`) that carries substantial weight — literally. Headings use 600700 weights with tight line-heights (1.171.19), creating dense, authoritative text blocks that communicate enterprise confidence. The hero headline at 82px weight 600 with OpenType `"kern"` enabled is not decorative — it's infrastructure-grade typography.
What distinguishes HashiCorp is its multi-product color system. Each product in the portfolio has its own brand color — Terraform purple (`#7b42bc`), Vault yellow (`#ffcf25`), Waypoint teal (`#14c6cb`), Vagrant blue (`#1868f2`) — and these colors appear throughout as accent tokens via a CSS custom property system (`--mds-color-*`). This creates a design system within a design system: the parent brand is black-and-white with blue accents, while each child product injects its own chromatic identity.
The component system uses the `mds` (Markdown Design System) prefix, indicating a systematic, token-driven approach where colors, spacing, and states are all managed through CSS variables. Shadows are remarkably subtle — dual-layer micro-shadows using `rgba(97, 104, 117, 0.05)` that are nearly invisible but provide just enough depth to separate interactive surfaces from the background.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Dual-mode: clean white sections + dramatic dark (`#15181e`) hero/product areas
- Custom HashiCorp Sans font with 600700 weights and `"kern"` feature
- Multi-product color system via `--mds-color-*` CSS custom properties
- Product brand colors: Terraform purple, Vault yellow, Waypoint teal, Vagrant blue
- Uppercase letter-spaced captions (13px, weight 600, 1.3px letter-spacing)
- Micro-shadows: dual-layer at 0.05 opacity — depth through whisper, not shout
- Token-driven `mds` component system with semantic variable names
- Tight border radius: 2px8px, nothing pill-shaped or circular
- System-ui fallback stack for secondary text

### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | HashiCorp Sans | 82px (5.13rem) | 600 | 1.17 (tight) | normal | `"kern"` enabled |
| Section Heading | HashiCorp Sans | 52px (3.25rem) | 600 | 1.19 (tight) | normal | `"kern"` enabled |
| Feature Heading | HashiCorp Sans | 42px (2.63rem) | 700 | 1.19 (tight) | -0.42px | Negative tracking |
| Sub-heading | HashiCorp Sans | 34px (2.13rem) | 600700 | 1.18 (tight) | normal | Feature blocks |
| Card Title | HashiCorp Sans | 26px (1.63rem) | 700 | 1.19 (tight) | normal | Card and panel headings |
| Small Title | HashiCorp Sans | 19px (1.19rem) | 700 | 1.21 (tight) | normal | Compact headings |
| Body Emphasis | HashiCorp Sans | 17px (1.06rem) | 600700 | 1.181.35 | normal | Bold body text |
| Body Large | system-ui | 20px (1.25rem) | 400600 | 1.50 | normal | Hero descriptions |
| Body | system-ui | 16px (1.00rem) | 400500 | 1.631.69 (relaxed) | normal | Standard body text |
| Nav Link | system-ui | 15px (0.94rem) | 500 | 1.60 (relaxed) | normal | Navigation items |
| Small Body | system-ui | 14px (0.88rem) | 400500 | 1.291.71 | normal | Secondary content |
| Caption | system-ui | 13px (0.81rem) | 400500 | 1.231.69 | normal | Metadata, footer links |
| Uppercase Label | HashiCorp Sans | 13px (0.81rem) | 600 | 1.69 (relaxed) | 1.3px | `text-transform: uppercase` |
### Principles
- **Brand/System split**: HashiCorp Sans for headings and brand-critical text; system-ui for body, navigation, and functional text. The brand font carries the weight, system-ui carries the words.
- **Kern always on**: All HashiCorp Sans text enables OpenType `"kern"` — letterfitting is non-negotiable.
- **Tight headings**: Every heading uses 1.171.21 line-height, creating dense, stacked text blocks that feel infrastructural — solid, load-bearing.
- **Relaxed body**: Body text uses 1.501.69 line-height (notably generous), creating comfortable reading rhythm beneath the dense headings.
- **Uppercase labels as wayfinding**: 13px uppercase with 1.3px letter-spacing serves as the systematic category/section marker — always HashiCorp Sans weight 600.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: ~1150px (xl breakpoint)
- Full-width dark hero sections with contained content
- Card grids: 23 column layouts
- Generous horizontal padding at desktop scale
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <375px | Tight single column |
| Mobile | 375480px | Standard mobile |
| Small Tablet | 480600px | Minor adjustments |
| Tablet | 600768px | 2-column grids begin |
| Small Desktop | 768992px | Full nav visible |
| Desktop | 9921120px | Standard layout |
| Large Desktop | 11201440px | Max-width content |
| Ultra-wide | >1440px | Centered, generous margins |
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Enterprise breathing room**: Generous vertical spacing between sections (48px80px+) communicates stability and seriousness.
- **Dense headings, spacious body**: Tight line-height headings sit above relaxed body text, creating visual "weight at the top" of each section.
- **Dark as canvas**: Dark hero sections use extra vertical padding to let 3D illustrations and gradients breathe.
### Border Radius Scale
- Minimal (2px): Links, small inline elements
- Subtle (3px): Checkboxes, small inputs
- Standard (4px): Secondary buttons
- Comfortable (5px): Primary buttons, badges, inputs
- Card (8px): Cards, containers, images
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Default surfaces, text blocks |
| Whisper (Level 1) | `rgba(97, 104, 117, 0.05) 0px 1px 1px, rgba(97, 104, 117, 0.05) 0px 2px 2px` | Cards, buttons, interactive surfaces |
| Focus (Level 2) | `3px solid var(--mds-color-focus-action-external)` outline | Focus rings — color-matched to context |
**Shadow Philosophy**: HashiCorp uses arguably the subtlest shadow system in modern web design. The dual-layer shadows at 5% opacity are nearly invisible — they exist not to create visual depth but to signal interactivity. If you can see the shadow, it's too strong. This restraint communicates the enterprise value of stability — nothing floats, nothing is uncertain.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use HashiCorp Sans for headings and brand text, system-ui for body and UI text
- Enable `"kern"` on all HashiCorp Sans text
- Use product brand colors ONLY for their respective products (Terraform = purple, Vault = yellow, etc.)
- Apply uppercase labels at 13px weight 600 with 1.3px letter-spacing for section markers
- Keep shadows at the "whisper" level (0.05 opacity dual-layer)
- Use the `--mds-color-*` token system for consistent color application
- Maintain the tight-heading / relaxed-body rhythm (1.171.21 vs 1.501.69 line-heights)
- Use `3px solid` focus outlines for accessibility
### Don't
- Don't use product brand colors outside their product context (no Terraform purple on Vault content)
- Don't increase shadow opacity above 0.1 — the whisper level is intentional
- Don't use pill-shaped buttons (>8px radius) — the sharp, minimal radius is structural
- Don't skip the `"kern"` feature on headings — the font requires it
- Don't use HashiCorp Sans for small body text — it's designed for 17px+ heading use
- Don't mix product colors in the same component — each product has one color
- Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for dark backgrounds — use `#15181e` or `#0d0e12`
- Don't forget the asymmetric button padding — 9px 9px 9px 15px is intentional
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <768px | Single column, hamburger nav, stacked CTAs |
| Tablet | 768992px | 2-column grids, nav begins expanding |
| Desktop | 9921150px | Full layout, mega-menu nav |
| Large | >1150px | Max-width centered, generous margins |
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 82px → 52px → 42px heading sizes
- Navigation: mega-menu → hamburger
- Product cards: 3-column → 2-column → stacked
- Dark sections maintain full-width but compress padding
- Buttons: inline → full-width stacked on mobile
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero on dark background (#15181e). Headline at 82px HashiCorp Sans weight 600, line-height 1.17, kern enabled, white text. Sub-text at 20px system-ui weight 400, line-height 1.50, #d5d7db text. Two buttons: primary dark (#15181e, 5px radius, 9px 15px padding) and secondary white (#ffffff, 4px radius, 8px 12px padding)."
- "Design a product card: white background, 8px radius, dual-layer shadow at rgba(97,104,117,0.05). Title at 26px HashiCorp Sans weight 700, body at 16px system-ui weight 400 line-height 1.63."
- "Build an uppercase section label: 13px HashiCorp Sans weight 600, line-height 1.69, letter-spacing 1.3px, text-transform uppercase, #656a76 color."
- "Create a product-specific CTA button: Terraform → #7b42bc background, Vault → #ffcf25 with dark text, Waypoint → #14c6cb. All: 5px radius, 500 weight text, 16px system-ui."
- "Design a dark form: #0d0e12 input background, #efeff1 text, 1px solid rgb(97,104,117) border, 5px radius, 11px padding. Focus: 3px solid accent-color outline."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always start with the mode decision: light (white) for informational, dark (#15181e) for hero/product
2. HashiCorp Sans for headings only (17px+), system-ui for everything else
3. Shadows are at whisper level (0.05 opacity) — if visible, reduce
4. Product colors are sacred — each product owns exactly one color
5. Focus rings are always 3px solid, color-matched to product context
6. Uppercase labels are the systematic wayfinding pattern — 13px, 600, 1.3px tracking

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
IBM's website is the digital embodiment of enterprise authority built on the Carbon Design System — a design language so methodically structured it reads like an engineering specification rendered as a webpage. The page operates on a stark duality: a bright white (`#ffffff`) canvas with near-black (`#161616`) text, punctuated by a single, unwavering accent — IBM Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`). This isn't playful tech-startup minimalism; it's corporate precision distilled into pixels. Every element exists within Carbon's rigid 2x grid, every color maps to a semantic token, every spacing value snaps to the 8px base unit.
The IBM Plex type family is the system's backbone. IBM Plex Sans at light weight (300) for display headlines creates an unexpectedly airy, almost delicate quality at large sizes — a deliberate counterpoint to IBM's corporate gravity. At body sizes, regular weight (400) with 0.16px letter-spacing on 14px captions introduces the meticulous micro-tracking that makes Carbon text feel engineered rather than designed. IBM Plex Mono serves code, data, and technical labels, completing the family trinity alongside the rarely-surfaced IBM Plex Serif.
What defines IBM's visual identity beyond monochrome-plus-blue is the reliance on Carbon's component token system. Every interactive state maps to a CSS custom property prefixed with `--cds-` (Carbon Design System). Buttons don't have hardcoded colors; they reference `--cds-button-primary`, `--cds-button-primary-hover`, `--cds-button-primary-active`. This tokenized architecture means the entire visual layer is a thin skin over a deeply systematic foundation — the design equivalent of a well-typed API.
**Key Characteristics:**
- IBM Plex Sans at weight 300 (Light) for display — corporate gravitas through typographic restraint
- IBM Plex Mono for code and technical content with consistent 0.16px letter-spacing at small sizes
- Single accent color: IBM Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`) — every interactive element, every CTA, every link
- Carbon token system (`--cds-*`) driving all semantic colors, enabling theme-switching at the variable level
- 8px spacing grid with strict adherence — no arbitrary values, everything aligns
- Flat, borderless cards on `#f4f4f4` Gray 10 surface — depth through background-color layering, not shadows
- Bottom-border inputs (not boxed) — the signature Carbon form pattern
- 0px border-radius on primary buttons — unapologetically rectangular, no softening
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **IBM Blue 60** (`#0f62fe`): The singular interactive color. Primary buttons, links, focus states, active indicators. This is the only chromatic hue in the core UI palette.
- **White** (`#ffffff`): Page background, card surfaces, button text on blue, `--cds-background`.
- **Gray 100** (`#161616`): Primary text, headings, dark surface backgrounds, nav bar, footer. `--cds-text-primary`.
### Neutral Scale (Gray Family)
- **Gray 100** (`#161616`): Primary text, headings, dark UI chrome, footer background.
- **Gray 90** (`#262626`): Secondary dark surfaces, hover states on dark backgrounds.
- **Gray 80** (`#393939`): Tertiary dark, active states.
- **Gray 70** (`#525252`): Secondary text, helper text, descriptions. `--cds-text-secondary`.

- **Blue 80** (`#002d9c`): Active/pressed state for blue elements.
- **Blue 10** (`#edf5ff`): Blue tint surface, selected row background.
- **Focus Blue** (`#0f62fe`): `--cds-focus` — 2px inset border on focused elements.
- **Focus Inset** (`#ffffff`): `--cds-focus-inset` — white inner ring for focus on dark backgrounds.
### Support & Status
- **Red 60** (`#da1e28`): Error, danger. `--cds-support-error`.

### Principles
- **Light weight at display sizes**: Carbon's expressive type set uses weight 300 (Light) at 42px+. This creates a distinctive tension — the content speaks with corporate authority while the letterforms whisper with typographic lightness.
- **Micro-tracking at small sizes**: 0.16px letter-spacing at 14px and 0.32px at 12px. These seemingly negligible values are Carbon's secret weapon for readability at compact sizes — they open up the tight IBM Plex letterforms just enough.
- **Three functional weights**: 300 (display/expressive), 400 (body/reading), 600 (emphasis/UI labels). Weight 700 is intentionally absent from the production type scale.
- **Productive vs. Expressive**: Productive sets use tighter line-heights (1.29) for dense UI. Expressive sets breathe more (1.40-1.50) for marketing and editorial content.
## 4. Component Stylings

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px (Carbon 2x grid)
- Component spacing scale: 2px, 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px
- Layout spacing scale: 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px, 80px, 96px, 160px
- Mini unit: 8px (smallest usable spacing)
- Padding within components: typically 16px
- Gap between cards/tiles: 1px (hairline) or 16px (standard)
### Grid & Container
- 16-column grid (Carbon's 2x grid system)
- Max content width: 1584px (max breakpoint)
- Column gutters: 32px (16px on mobile)
- Margin: 16px (mobile), 32px (tablet+)
- Content typically spans 8-12 columns for readable line lengths
- Full-bleed sections alternate with contained content
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Functional density**: Carbon favors productive density over expansive whitespace. Sections are tightly packed compared to consumer design systems — this reflects IBM's enterprise DNA.
- **Background-color zoning**: Instead of massive padding between sections, IBM uses alternating background colors (white → gray 10 → white) to create visual separation with minimal vertical space.
- **Consistent 48px rhythm**: Major section transitions use 48px vertical spacing. Hero sections may use 80px96px.
### Border Radius Scale
- **0px**: Primary buttons, inputs, tiles, cards — the dominant treatment. Carbon is fundamentally rectangular.
- **2px**: Occasionally on small interactive elements (tags)
- **24px**: Tags/labels (pill shape — the sole rounded exception)
- **50%**: Avatar circles, icon containers
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, `#ffffff` background | Default page surface |
| Layer 01 | No shadow, `#f4f4f4` background | Cards, tiles, alternating sections |
| Layer 02 | No shadow, `#e0e0e0` background | Elevated panels within Layer 01 |
| Raised | `0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)` | Dropdowns, tooltips, overflow menus |
| Overlay | `0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3)` + dark scrim | Modal dialogs, side panels |
| Focus | `2px solid #0f62fe` inset + `1px solid #ffffff` | Keyboard focus ring |
| Bottom-border | `2px solid #161616` on bottom edge | Active input, active tab indicator |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Carbon is deliberately shadow-averse. IBM achieves depth primarily through background-color layering — stacking surfaces of progressively darker grays rather than adding box-shadows. This creates a flat, print-inspired aesthetic where hierarchy is communicated through color value, not simulated light. Shadows are reserved exclusively for floating elements (dropdowns, tooltips, modals) where the element genuinely overlaps content. This restraint gives the rare shadow meaningful impact — when something floats in Carbon, it matters.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use IBM Plex Sans at weight 300 for display sizes (42px+) — the lightness is intentional
- Apply 0.16px letter-spacing on 14px body text and 0.32px on 12px captions
- Use 0px border-radius on buttons, inputs, cards, and tiles — rectangles are the system
- Reference `--cds-*` token names when implementing (e.g., `--cds-button-primary`, `--cds-text-primary`)
- Use background-color layering (white → gray 10 → gray 20) for depth instead of shadows
- Use bottom-border (not box) for input field indicators
- Maintain the 48px default button height and asymmetric padding for icon accommodation
- Apply Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`) as the sole accent — one blue to rule them all
### Don't
- Don't round button corners — 0px radius is the Carbon identity
- Don't use shadows on cards or tiles — flatness is the point
- Don't introduce additional accent colors — IBM's system is monochromatic + blue
- Don't use weight 700 (Bold) — the scale stops at 600 (Semibold)
- Don't add letter-spacing to display-size text — tracking is only for 14px and below
- Don't box inputs with full borders — Carbon inputs use bottom-border only
- Don't use gradient backgrounds — IBM's surfaces are flat, solid colors
- Don't deviate from the 8px spacing grid — every value should be divisible by 8 (with 2px and 4px for micro-adjustments)
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Small (sm) | 320px | Single column, hamburger nav, 16px margins |
| Medium (md) | 672px | 2-column grids begin, expanded content |
| Large (lg) | 1056px | Full navigation visible, 3-4 column grids |
| X-Large (xlg) | 1312px | Maximum content density, wide layouts |
| Max | 1584px | Maximum content width, centered with margins |
### Touch Targets
- Button height: 48px default, minimum 40px (compact)
- Navigation links: 48px row height for touch
- Input height: 40px default, 48px large
- Icon buttons: 48px square touch target
- Mobile menu items: full-width 48px rows
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 60px display → 42px → 32px heading as viewport narrows
- Navigation: full horizontal masthead → hamburger with slide-out panel
- Grid: 4-column → 2-column → single column
- Tiles/cards: horizontal grid → vertical stack
- Images: maintain aspect ratio, max-width 100%
- Footer: multi-column link groups → stacked single column
- Section padding: 48px → 32px → 16px
### Image Behavior
- Responsive images with `max-width: 100%`
- Product illustrations scale proportionally
- Hero images may shift from side-by-side to stacked below
- Data visualizations maintain aspect ratio with horizontal scroll on mobile
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary CTA: IBM Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`)
- Background: White (`#ffffff`)
- Heading text: Gray 100 (`#161616`)
- Body text: Gray 100 (`#161616`)
- Secondary text: Gray 70 (`#525252`)
- Surface/Card: Gray 10 (`#f4f4f4`)
- Border: Gray 30 (`#c6c6c6`)
- Link: Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`)

- Focus ring: Blue 60 (`#0f62fe`)
- Error: Red 60 (`#da1e28`)
- Success: Green 50 (`#24a148`)
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on white background. Headline at 60px IBM Plex Sans weight 300, line-height 1.17, color #161616. Subtitle at 16px weight 400, line-height 1.50, color #525252, max-width 640px. Blue CTA button (#0f62fe background, #ffffff text, 0px border-radius, 48px height, 14px 63px 14px 15px padding)."
- "Design a card tile: #f4f4f4 background, 0px border-radius, 16px padding. Title at 20px IBM Plex Sans weight 600, line-height 1.40, color #161616. Body at 14px weight 400, letter-spacing 0.16px, line-height 1.29, color #525252. Hover: background shifts to #e8e8e8."
- "Build a form field: #f4f4f4 background, 0px border-radius, 40px height, 16px horizontal padding. Label above at 12px weight 400, letter-spacing 0.32px, color #525252. Bottom-border: 2px solid transparent default, 2px solid #0f62fe on focus. Placeholder: #6f6f6f."
- "Create a dark navigation bar: #161616 background, 48px height. IBM logo white left-aligned. Links at 14px IBM Plex Sans weight 400, color #c6c6c6. Hover: #ffffff text. Active: #ffffff with 2px bottom border."
- "Build a tag component: Blue 10 (#edf5ff) background, Blue 60 (#0f62fe) text, 4px 8px padding, 24px border-radius, 12px IBM Plex Sans weight 400."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always use 0px border-radius on buttons, inputs, and cards — this is non-negotiable in Carbon
2. Letter-spacing only at small sizes: 0.16px at 14px, 0.32px at 12px — never on display text
3. Three weights: 300 (display), 400 (body), 600 (emphasis) — no bold
4. Blue 60 is the only accent color — do not introduce secondary accent hues
5. Depth comes from background-color layering (white → #f4f4f4#e0e0e0), not shadows
6. Inputs have bottom-border only, never fully boxed
7. Use `--cds-` prefix for token naming to stay Carbon-compatible
8. 48px is the universal interactive element height

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Intercom's website is a warm, confident customer service platform that communicates "AI-first helpdesk" through a clean, editorial design language. The page operates on a warm off-white canvas (`#faf9f6`) with off-black (`#111111`) text, creating an intimate, magazine-like reading experience. The signature Fin Orange (`#ff5600`) — named after Intercom's AI agent — serves as the singular vibrant accent against the warm neutral palette.
The typography uses Saans — a custom geometric sans-serif with aggressive negative letter-spacing (-2.4px at 80px, -0.48px at 24px) and a consistent 1.00 line-height across all heading sizes. This creates ultra-compressed, billboard-like headlines that feel engineered and precise. Serrif provides the serif companion for editorial moments, and SaansMono handles code and uppercase technical labels. MediumLL and LLMedium appear for specific UI contexts, creating a rich five-font ecosystem.
What distinguishes Intercom is its remarkably sharp geometry — 4px border-radius on buttons creates near-rectangular interactive elements that feel industrial and precise, contrasting with the warm surface colors. Button hover states use `scale(1.1)` expansion, creating a physical "growing" interaction. The border system uses warm oat tones (`#dedbd6`) and oklab-based opacity values for sophisticated color management.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Warm off-white canvas (`#faf9f6`) with oat-toned borders (`#dedbd6`)
- Saans font with extreme negative tracking (-2.4px at 80px) and 1.00 line-height
- Fin Orange (`#ff5600`) as singular brand accent
- Sharp 4px border-radius — near-rectangular buttons and elements
- Scale(1.1) hover with scale(0.85) active — physical button interaction
- SaansMono uppercase labels with wide tracking (0.6px1.2px)
- Rich multi-color report palette (blue, green, red, pink, lime, orange)
- oklab color values for sophisticated opacity management

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Linear's website is a masterclass in dark-mode-first product design — a near-black canvas (`#08090a`) where content emerges from darkness like starlight. The overall impression is one of extreme precision engineering: every element exists in a carefully calibrated hierarchy of luminance, from barely-visible borders (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`) to soft, luminous text (`#f7f8f8`). This is not a dark theme applied to a light design — it is darkness as the native medium, where information density is managed through subtle gradations of white opacity rather than color variation.
The typography system is built entirely on Inter Variable with OpenType features `"cv01"` and `"ss03"` enabled globally, giving the typeface a cleaner, more geometric character. Inter is used at a remarkable range of weights — from 300 (light body) through 510 (medium, Linear's signature weight) to 590 (semibold emphasis). The 510 weight is particularly distinctive: it sits between regular and medium, creating a subtle emphasis that doesn't shout. At display sizes (72px, 64px, 48px), Inter uses aggressive negative letter-spacing (-1.584px to -1.056px), creating compressed, authoritative headlines that feel engineered rather than designed. Berkeley Mono serves as the monospace companion for code and technical labels, with fallbacks to ui-monospace, SF Mono, and Menlo.
The color system is almost entirely achromatic — dark backgrounds with white/gray text — punctuated by a single brand accent: Linear's signature indigo-violet (`#5e6ad2` for backgrounds, `#7170ff` for interactive accents). This accent color is used sparingly and intentionally, appearing only on CTAs, active states, and brand elements. The border system uses ultra-thin, semi-transparent white borders (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`) that create structure without visual noise, like wireframes drawn in moonlight.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Dark-mode-native: `#08090a` marketing background, `#0f1011` panel background, `#191a1b` elevated surfaces
- Inter Variable with `"cv01", "ss03"` globally — geometric alternates for a cleaner aesthetic
- Signature weight 510 (between regular and medium) for most UI text
- Aggressive negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-1.584px at 72px, -1.056px at 48px)
- Brand indigo-violet: `#5e6ad2` (bg) / `#7170ff` (accent) / `#828fff` (hover) — the only chromatic color in the system
- Semi-transparent white borders throughout: `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`
- Button backgrounds at near-zero opacity: `rgba(255,255,255,0.02)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`
- Multi-layered shadows with inset variants for depth on dark surfaces
- Radix UI primitives as the component foundation (6 detected primitives)
- Success green (`#27a644`, `#10b981`) used only for status indicators
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Background Surfaces
- **Marketing Black** (`#010102` / `#08090a`): The deepest background — the canvas for hero sections and marketing pages. Near-pure black with an imperceptible blue-cool undertone.
- **Panel Dark** (`#0f1011`): Sidebar and panel backgrounds. One step up from the marketing black.
- **Level 3 Surface** (`#191a1b`): Elevated surface areas, card backgrounds, dropdowns.
- **Secondary Surface** (`#28282c`): The lightest dark surface — used for hover states and slightly elevated components.
### Text & Content
- **Primary Text** (`#f7f8f8`): Near-white with a barely-warm cast. The default text color — not pure white, preventing eye strain on dark backgrounds.
- **Secondary Text** (`#d0d6e0`): Cool silver-gray for body text, descriptions, and secondary content.
- **Tertiary Text** (`#8a8f98`): Muted gray for placeholders, metadata, and de-emphasized content.
- **Quaternary Text** (`#62666d`): The most subdued text — timestamps, disabled states, subtle labels.
### Brand & Accent
- **Brand Indigo** (`#5e6ad2`): Primary brand color — used for CTA button backgrounds, brand marks, and key interactive surfaces.
- **Accent Violet** (`#7170ff`): Brighter variant for interactive elements — links, active states, selected items.
- **Accent Hover** (`#828fff`): Lighter, more saturated variant for hover states on accent elements.
- **Security Lavender** (`#7a7fad`): Muted indigo used specifically for security-related UI elements.
### Status Colors
- **Green** (`#27a644`): Primary success/active status. Used for "in progress" indicators.
- **Emerald** (`#10b981`): Secondary success — pill badges, completion states.
### Border & Divider
- **Border Primary** (`#23252a`): Solid dark border for prominent separations.
- **Border Secondary** (`#34343a`): Slightly lighter solid border.
- **Border Tertiary** (`#3e3e44`): Lightest solid border variant.
- **Border Subtle** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`): Ultra-subtle semi-transparent border — the default.
- **Border Standard** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`): Standard semi-transparent border for cards, inputs, code blocks.
- **Line Tint** (`#141516`): Nearly invisible line for the subtlest divisions.
- **Line Tertiary** (`#18191a`): Slightly more visible divider line.
### Light Mode Neutrals (for light theme contexts)
- **Light Background** (`#f7f8f8`): Page background in light mode.
- **Light Surface** (`#f3f4f5` / `#f5f6f7`): Subtle surface tinting.
- **Light Border** (`#d0d6e0`): Visible border in light contexts.
- **Light Border Alt** (`#e6e6e6`): Alternative lighter border.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Card surfaces, highlights.
### Overlay
- **Overlay Primary** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.85)`): Modal/dialog backdrop — extremely dark for focus isolation.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Inter Variable`, with fallbacks: `SF Pro Display, -apple-system, system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Open Sans, Helvetica Neue`
- **Monospace**: `Berkeley Mono`, with fallbacks: `ui-monospace, SF Mono, Menlo`
- **OpenType Features**: `"cv01", "ss03"` enabled globally — cv01 provides an alternate lowercase 'a' (single-story), ss03 adjusts specific letterforms for a cleaner geometric appearance.

### Principles
- **510 is the signature weight**: Linear uses Inter Variable's 510 weight (between regular 400 and medium 500) as its default emphasis weight. This creates a subtly bolded feel without the heaviness of traditional medium or semibold.
- **Compression at scale**: Display sizes use progressively tighter letter-spacing — -1.584px at 72px, -1.408px at 64px, -1.056px at 48px, -0.704px at 32px. Below 24px, spacing relaxes toward normal.
- **OpenType as identity**: `"cv01", "ss03"` aren't decorative — they transform Inter into Linear's distinctive typeface, giving it a more geometric, purposeful character.
- **Three-tier weight system**: 400 (reading), 510 (emphasis/UI), 590 (strong emphasis). The 300 weight appears only in deliberately de-emphasized contexts.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 19px, 20px, 22px, 24px, 28px, 32px, 35px
- The 7px and 11px values suggest micro-adjustments for optical alignment
- Primary rhythm: 8px, 16px, 24px, 32px (standard 8px grid)
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 1200px
- Hero: centered single-column with generous vertical padding
- Feature sections: 23 column grids for feature cards
- Full-width dark sections with internal max-width constraints
- Changelog: single-column timeline layout
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Darkness as space**: On Linear's dark canvas, empty space isn't white — it's absence. The near-black background IS the whitespace, and content emerges from it.
- **Compressed headlines, expanded surroundings**: Display text at 72px with -1.584px tracking is dense and compressed, but sits within vast dark padding. The contrast between typographic density and spatial generosity creates tension.
- **Section isolation**: Each feature section is separated by generous vertical padding (80px+) with no visible dividers — the dark background provides natural separation.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (2px): Inline badges, toolbar buttons, subtle tags
- Standard (4px): Small containers, list items
- Comfortable (6px): Buttons, inputs, functional elements
- Card (8px): Cards, dropdowns, popovers
- Panel (12px): Panels, featured cards, section containers
- Large (22px): Large panel elements
- Full Pill (9999px): Chips, filter pills, status tags
- Circle (50%): Icon buttons, avatars, status dots
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, `#010102` bg | Page background, deepest canvas |
| Subtle (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.03) 0px 1.2px 0px` | Toolbar buttons, micro-elevation |
| Surface (Level 2) | `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` bg + `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` border | Cards, input fields, containers |
| Inset (Level 2b) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 12px 0px inset` | Recessed panels, inner shadows |
| Ring (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Border-as-shadow technique |
| Elevated (Level 4) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0px 2px 4px` | Floating elements, dropdowns |
| Dialog (Level 5) | Multi-layer stack: `rgba(0,0,0,0) 0px 8px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.01) 0px 5px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 3px 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.07) 0px 1px 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 0px 1px` | Popovers, command palette, modals |
| Focus | `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px` + additional layers | Keyboard focus on interactive elements |
**Shadow Philosophy**: On dark surfaces, traditional shadows (dark on dark) are nearly invisible. Linear solves this by using semi-transparent white borders as the primary depth indicator. Elevation isn't communicated through shadow darkness but through background luminance steps — each level slightly increases the white opacity of the surface background (`0.02``0.04``0.05`), creating a subtle stacking effect. The inset shadow technique (`rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 12px 0px inset`) creates a unique "sunken" effect for recessed panels, adding dimensional depth that traditional dark themes lack.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use Inter Variable with `"cv01", "ss03"` on ALL text — these features are fundamental to Linear's typeface identity
- Use weight 510 as your default emphasis weight — it's Linear's signature between-weight
- Apply aggressive negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-1.584px at 72px, -1.056px at 48px)
- Build on near-black backgrounds: `#08090a` for marketing, `#0f1011` for panels, `#191a1b` for elevated surfaces
- Use semi-transparent white borders (`rgba(255,255,255,0.05)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`) instead of solid dark borders
- Keep button backgrounds nearly transparent: `rgba(255,255,255,0.02)` to `rgba(255,255,255,0.05)`
- Reserve brand indigo (`#5e6ad2` / `#7170ff`) for primary CTAs and interactive accents only
- Use `#f7f8f8` for primary text — not pure `#ffffff`, which would be too harsh
- Apply the luminance stacking model: deeper = darker bg, elevated = slightly lighter bg
### Don't
- Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as primary text — `#f7f8f8` prevents eye strain
- Don't use solid colored backgrounds for buttons — transparency is the system (rgba white at 0.020.05)
- Don't apply the brand indigo decoratively — it's reserved for interactive/CTA elements only
- Don't use positive letter-spacing on display text — Inter at large sizes always runs negative
- Don't use visible/opaque borders on dark backgrounds — borders should be whisper-thin semi-transparent white
- Don't skip the OpenType features (`"cv01", "ss03"`) — without them, it's generic Inter, not Linear's Inter
- Don't use weight 700 (bold) — Linear's maximum weight is 590, with 510 as the workhorse
- Don't introduce warm colors into the UI chrome — the palette is cool gray with blue-violet accent only
- Don't use drop shadows for elevation on dark surfaces — use background luminance stepping instead
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <600px | Single column, compact padding |
| Mobile | 600640px | Standard mobile layout |
| Tablet | 640768px | Two-column grids begin |
| Desktop Small | 7681024px | Full card grids, expanded padding |
| Desktop | 10241280px | Standard desktop, full navigation |
| Large Desktop | >1280px | Full layout, generous margins |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use comfortable padding with 6px radius minimum
- Navigation links at 1314px with adequate spacing
- Pill tags have 10px horizontal padding for touch accessibility
- Icon buttons at 50% radius ensure circular, easy-to-tap targets
- Search trigger is prominently placed with generous hit area
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 72px → 48px → 32px display text, tracking adjusts proportionally
- Navigation: horizontal links + CTAs → hamburger menu at 768px
- Feature cards: 3-column → 2-column → single column stacked
- Product screenshots: maintain aspect ratio, may reduce padding
- Changelog: timeline maintains single-column through all sizes
- Footer: multi-column → stacked single column
- Section spacing: 80px+ → 48px on mobile
### Image Behavior
- Dashboard screenshots maintain border treatment at all sizes
- Hero visuals simplify on mobile (fewer floating UI elements)
- Product screenshots use responsive sizing with consistent radius
- Dark background ensures screenshots blend naturally at any viewport

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on `#08090a` background. Headline at 48px Inter Variable weight 510, line-height 1.00, letter-spacing -1.056px, color `#f7f8f8`, font-feature-settings `'cv01', 'ss03'`. Subtitle at 18px weight 400, line-height 1.60, color `#8a8f98`. Brand CTA button (`#5e6ad2`, 6px radius, 8px 16px padding) and ghost button (`rgba(255,255,255,0.02)` bg, `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` border, 6px radius)."
- "Design a card on dark background: `rgba(255,255,255,0.02)` background, `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` border, 8px radius. Title at 20px Inter Variable weight 590, letter-spacing -0.24px, color `#f7f8f8`. Body at 15px weight 400, color `#8a8f98`, letter-spacing -0.165px."

- "Design a command palette: `#191a1b` background, `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` border, 12px radius, multi-layer shadow stack. Input at 16px Inter Variable weight 400, `#f7f8f8` text. Results list with 13px weight 510 labels in `#d0d6e0` and 12px metadata in `#62666d`."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always set font-feature-settings `"cv01", "ss03"` on all Inter text — this is non-negotiable for Linear's look
2. Letter-spacing scales with font size: -1.584px at 72px, -1.056px at 48px, -0.704px at 32px, normal below 16px
3. Three weights: 400 (read), 510 (emphasize/navigate), 590 (announce)
4. Surface elevation via background opacity: `rgba(255,255,255, 0.02 → 0.04 → 0.05)` — never solid backgrounds on dark
5. Brand indigo (`#5e6ad2` / `#7170ff`) is the only chromatic color — everything else is grayscale
6. Borders are always semi-transparent white, never solid dark colors on dark backgrounds
7. Berkeley Mono for any code or technical content, Inter Variable for everything else

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Lovable's website radiates warmth through restraint. The entire page sits on a creamy, parchment-toned background (`#f7f4ed`) that immediately separates it from the cold-white conventions of most developer tool sites. This isn't minimalism for minimalism's sake — it's a deliberate choice to feel approachable, almost analog, like a well-crafted notebook. The near-black text (`#1c1c1c`) against this warm cream creates a contrast ratio that's easy on the eyes while maintaining sharp readability.
The custom Camera Plain Variable typeface is the system's secret weapon. Unlike geometric sans-serifs that signal "tech company," Camera Plain has a humanist warmth — slightly rounded terminals, organic curves, and a comfortable reading rhythm. At display sizes (48px60px), weight 600 with aggressive negative letter-spacing (-0.9px to -1.5px) compresses headlines into confident, editorial statements. The font uses `ui-sans-serif, system-ui` as fallbacks, acknowledging that the custom typeface carries the brand personality.
What makes Lovable's visual system distinctive is its opacity-driven depth model. Rather than using a traditional gray scale, the system modulates `#1c1c1c` at varying opacities (0.03, 0.04, 0.4, 0.820.83) to create a unified tonal range. Every shade of gray on the page is technically the same hue — just more or less transparent. This creates a visual coherence that's nearly impossible to achieve with arbitrary hex values. The border system follows suit: `1px solid #eceae4` for light divisions and `1px solid rgba(28, 28, 28, 0.4)` for stronger interactive boundaries.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Warm parchment background (`#f7f4ed`) — not white, not beige, a deliberate cream that feels hand-selected
- Camera Plain Variable typeface with humanist warmth and editorial letter-spacing at display sizes
- Opacity-driven color system: all grays derived from `#1c1c1c` at varying transparency levels
- Inset shadow technique on buttons: `rgba(255,255,255,0.2) 0px 0.5px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 0px 0.5px inset`
- Warm neutral border palette: `#eceae4` for subtle, `rgba(28,28,28,0.4)` for interactive elements
- Full-pill radius (`9999px`) used extensively for action buttons and icon containers
- Focus state uses `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px` shadow for soft, warm emphasis
- shadcn/ui + Radix UI component primitives with Tailwind CSS utility styling
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Cream** (`#f7f4ed`): Page background, card surfaces, button surfaces. The foundation — warm, paper-like, human.
- **Charcoal** (`#1c1c1c`): Primary text, headings, dark button backgrounds. Not pure black — organic warmth.
- **Off-White** (`#fcfbf8`): Button text on dark backgrounds, subtle highlight. Barely distinguishable from pure white.
### Neutral Scale (Opacity-Based)
- **Charcoal 100%** (`#1c1c1c`): Primary text, headings, dark surfaces.
- **Charcoal 83%** (`rgba(28,28,28,0.83)`): Strong secondary text.
- **Charcoal 82%** (`rgba(28,28,28,0.82)`): Body copy.
- **Muted Gray** (`#5f5f5d`): Secondary text, descriptions, captions.
- **Charcoal 40%** (`rgba(28,28,28,0.4)`): Interactive borders, button outlines.
- **Charcoal 4%** (`rgba(28,28,28,0.04)`): Subtle hover backgrounds, micro-tints.
- **Charcoal 3%** (`rgba(28,28,28,0.03)`): Barely-visible overlays, background depth.
### Surface & Border
- **Light Cream** (`#eceae4`): Card borders, dividers, image outlines. The warm divider line.
- **Cream Surface** (`#f7f4ed`): Card backgrounds, section fills — same as page background for seamless integration.
### Interactive
- **Ring Blue** (`#3b82f6` at 50% opacity): `--tw-ring-color`, Tailwind focus ring.
- **Focus Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px`): Focus and active state shadow — soft, warm, diffused.
### Inset Shadows
- **Button Inset** (`rgba(255,255,255,0.2) 0px 0.5px 0px 0px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 0px 0.5px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px 1px 2px 0px`): The signature multi-layer inset shadow on dark buttons.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Camera Plain Variable`, with fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui`
- **Weight range**: 400 (body/reading), 480 (special display), 600 (headings/emphasis)
- **Feature**: Variable font with continuous weight axis — allows fine-tuned intermediary weights like 480.
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Camera Plain Variable | 60px (3.75rem) | 600 | 1.001.10 (tight) | -1.5px | Maximum impact, editorial |
| Display Alt | Camera Plain Variable | 60px (3.75rem) | 480 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Lighter hero variant |
| Section Heading | Camera Plain Variable | 48px (3.00rem) | 600 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.2px | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | Camera Plain Variable | 36px (2.25rem) | 600 | 1.10 (tight) | -0.9px | Sub-sections |
| Card Title | Camera Plain Variable | 20px (1.25rem) | 400 | 1.25 (tight) | normal | Card headings |
| Body Large | Camera Plain Variable | 18px (1.13rem) | 400 | 1.38 | normal | Introductions |
| Body | Camera Plain Variable | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Standard reading text |
| Button | Camera Plain Variable | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Button labels |
| Button Small | Camera Plain Variable | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Compact buttons |
| Link | Camera Plain Variable | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Underline decoration |
| Link Small | Camera Plain Variable | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Footer links |
| Caption | Camera Plain Variable | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Metadata, small text |
### Principles
- **Warm humanist voice**: Camera Plain Variable gives Lovable its approachable personality. The slightly rounded terminals and organic curves contrast with the sharp geometric sans-serifs used by most developer tools.
- **Variable weight as design tool**: The font supports continuous weight values (e.g., 480), enabling nuanced hierarchy beyond standard weight stops. Weight 480 at 60px creates a display style that feels lighter than semibold but stronger than regular.
- **Compression at scale**: Headlines use negative letter-spacing (-0.9px to -1.5px) for editorial impact. Body text stays at normal tracking for comfortable reading.
- **Two weights, clear roles**: 400 (body/UI/links/buttons) and 600 (headings/emphasis). The narrow weight range creates hierarchy through size and spacing, not weight variation.

- Large metrics: "0M+" pattern in 48px+ weight 600
- Descriptive text below in muted gray
- Horizontal layout with generous spacing
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 56px, 80px, 96px, 128px, 176px, 192px, 208px
- The scale expands generously at the top end — sections use 80px208px vertical spacing for editorial breathing room
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 1200px (centered)
- Hero: centered single-column with massive vertical padding (96px+)
- Feature sections: 23 column grids
- Full-width footer with multi-column link layout
- Showcase sections with centered card grids
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Editorial generosity**: Lovable's spacing is lavish at section boundaries (80px208px). The warm cream background makes these expanses feel cozy rather than empty.
- **Content-driven rhythm**: Tight internal spacing within cards (1224px) contrasts with wide section gaps, creating a reading rhythm that alternates between focused content and visual rest.
- **Section separation**: Footer uses `1px solid #eceae4` border and 16px radius container. Sections defined by generous spacing rather than border lines.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (4px): Small buttons, interactive elements
- Standard (6px): Buttons, inputs, navigation menu
- Comfortable (8px): Compact cards, divs
- Card (12px): Standard cards, image containers, templates
- Container (16px): Large containers, footer sections
- Full Pill (9999px): Action pills, icon buttons, toggles
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, cream background | Page surface, most content |
| Bordered (Level 1) | `1px solid #eceae4` | Cards, images, dividers |
| Inset (Level 2) | `rgba(255,255,255,0.2) 0px 0.5px 0px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 0px 0px 0.5px inset, rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px 1px 2px` | Dark buttons, primary actions |
| Focus (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px` | Active/focus states |
| Ring (Accessibility) | `rgba(59,130,246,0.5)` 2px ring | Keyboard focus on inputs |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Lovable's depth system is intentionally shallow. Instead of floating cards with dramatic drop-shadows, the system relies on warm borders (`#eceae4`) against the cream surface to create gentle containment. The only notable shadow pattern is the inset shadow on dark buttons — a subtle multi-layer technique where a white highlight line sits at the top edge while a dark ring and soft drop handle the bottom. This creates a tactile, pressed-into-surface feeling rather than a hovering-above-surface feeling. The warm focus shadow (`rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px`) is deliberately diffused and large, creating a soft glow rather than a sharp outline.
### Decorative Depth
- Hero: soft, warm multi-color gradient wash (pinks, oranges, blues) behind hero — atmospheric, barely visible
- Footer: gradient background with warm tones transitioning to the bottom
- No harsh section dividers — spacing and background warmth handle transitions
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use the warm cream background (`#f7f4ed`) as the page foundation — it's the brand's signature warmth
- Use Camera Plain Variable at display sizes with negative letter-spacing (-0.9px to -1.5px)
- Derive all grays from `#1c1c1c` at varying opacity levels for tonal unity
- Use the inset shadow technique on dark buttons for tactile depth
- Use `#eceae4` borders instead of shadows for card containment
- Keep the weight system narrow: 400 for body/UI, 600 for headings
- Use full-pill radius (9999px) only for action pills and icon buttons
- Apply opacity 0.8 on active states for responsive tactile feedback
### Don't
- Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — the cream is intentional
- Don't use heavy box-shadows for cards — borders are the containment mechanism
- Don't introduce saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally warm-neutral
- Don't use weight 700 (bold) — 600 is the maximum weight in the system
- Don't apply 9999px radius on rectangular buttons — pills are for icon/action toggles
- Don't use sharp focus outlines — the system uses soft shadow-based focus indicators
- Don't mix border styles — `#eceae4` for passive, `rgba(28,28,28,0.4)` for interactive
- Don't increase letter-spacing on headings — Camera Plain is designed to run tight at scale
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |

- Stats bar: horizontal → stacked vertical
- Footer: multi-column → stacked single column
- Section spacing: 128px+ → 64px on mobile
### Image Behavior
- Template screenshots maintain `1px solid #eceae4` border at all sizes
- 12px border radius preserved across breakpoints
- Gallery images responsive with consistent aspect ratios
- Hero gradient softens/simplifies on mobile
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary CTA: Charcoal (`#1c1c1c`)
- Background: Cream (`#f7f4ed`)
- Heading text: Charcoal (`#1c1c1c`)
- Body text: Muted Gray (`#5f5f5d`)
- Border: `#eceae4` (passive), `rgba(28,28,28,0.4)` (interactive)
- Focus: `rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 0px 4px 12px`
- Button text on dark: `#fcfbf8`
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on cream background (#f7f4ed). Headline at 60px Camera Plain Variable weight 600, line-height 1.10, letter-spacing -1.5px, color #1c1c1c. Subtitle at 18px weight 400, line-height 1.38, color #5f5f5d. Dark CTA button (#1c1c1c bg, #fcfbf8 text, 6px radius, 8px 16px padding, inset shadow) and ghost button (transparent bg, 1px solid rgba(28,28,28,0.4) border, 6px radius)."
- "Design a card on cream (#f7f4ed) background. Border: 1px solid #eceae4. Radius 12px. No box-shadow. Title at 20px Camera Plain Variable weight 400, line-height 1.25, color #1c1c1c. Body at 14px weight 400, color #5f5f5d."
- "Build a template gallery: grid of cards with 12px radius, 1px solid #eceae4 border, cream backgrounds. Each card: image with 12px top radius, title below. Hover: subtle border darkening."
- "Create navigation: sticky on cream (#f7f4ed). Camera Plain 16px weight 400 for links, #1c1c1c text. Dark CTA button right-aligned with inset shadow. Mobile: hamburger menu with 6px radius."
- "Design a stats section: large numbers at 48px Camera Plain weight 600, letter-spacing -1.2px, #1c1c1c. Labels below at 16px weight 400, #5f5f5d. Horizontal layout with 32px gap."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always use cream (`#f7f4ed`) as the base — never pure white
2. Derive grays from `#1c1c1c` at opacity levels rather than using distinct hex values
3. Use `#eceae4` borders for containment, not shadows
4. Letter-spacing scales with size: -1.5px at 60px, -1.2px at 48px, -0.9px at 36px, normal at 16px
5. Two weights: 400 (everything except headings) and 600 (headings)
6. The inset shadow on dark buttons is the signature detail — don't skip it
7. Camera Plain Variable at weight 480 is for special display moments only

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
MiniMax's website is a clean, product-showcase platform for a Chinese AI technology company that bridges consumer-friendly appeal with technical credibility. The design language is predominantly white-space-driven with a light, airy feel — pure white backgrounds (`#ffffff`) dominate, letting colorful product cards and AI model illustrations serve as the visual anchors. The overall aesthetic sits at the intersection of Apple's product marketing clarity and a playful, rounded design language that makes AI technology feel approachable.
The typography system is notably multi-font: DM Sans serves as the primary UI workhorse, Outfit handles display headings with geometric elegance, Poppins appears for mid-tier headings, and Roboto handles data-heavy contexts. This variety reflects a brand in rapid growth — each font serves a distinct communicative purpose rather than competing for attention. The hero heading at 80px weight 500 in both DM Sans and Outfit with a tight 1.10 line-height creates a bold but not aggressive opening statement.
What makes MiniMax distinctive is its pill-button geometry (9999px radius) for navigation and primary actions, combined with softer 8px24px radiused cards for product showcases. The product cards themselves are richly colorful — vibrant gradients in pink, purple, orange, and blue — creating a "gallery of AI capabilities" feel. Against the white canvas, these colorful cards pop like app icons on a phone home screen, making each AI model/product feel like a self-contained creative tool.
**Key Characteristics:**
- White-dominant layout with colorful product card accents
- Multi-font system: DM Sans (UI), Outfit (display), Poppins (mid-tier), Roboto (data)
- Pill buttons (9999px radius) for primary navigation and CTAs
- Generous rounded cards (20px24px radius) for product showcases
- Brand blue spectrum: from `#1456f0` (brand-6) through `#3b82f6` (primary-500) to `#60a5fa` (light)
- Brand pink (`#ea5ec1`) as secondary accent
- Near-black text (`#222222`, `#18181b`) on white backgrounds
- Purple-tinted shadows (`rgba(44, 30, 116, 0.16)`) creating subtle brand-colored depth
- Dark footer section (`#181e25`) with product/company links

- **Display**: `Outfit`, with fallbacks: `Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial`
- **Mid-tier**: `Poppins`
- **Data/Technical**: `Roboto`, with fallbacks: `Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|-------|
| Display Hero | DM Sans / Outfit | 80px (5.00rem) | 500 | 1.10 (tight) | Hero headlines |
| Section Heading | Outfit | 31px (1.94rem) | 600 | 1.50 | Feature section titles |
| Section Heading Alt | Roboto / DM Sans | 32px (2.00rem) | 600 | 0.88 (tight) | Compact headers |
| Card Title | Outfit | 28px (1.75rem) | 500600 | 1.71 (relaxed) | Product card headings |
| Sub-heading | Poppins | 24px (1.50rem) | 500 | 1.50 | Mid-tier headings |
| Feature Label | Poppins | 18px (1.13rem) | 500 | 1.50 | Feature names |
| Body Large | DM Sans | 20px (1.25rem) | 500 | 1.50 | Emphasized body |
| Body | DM Sans | 16px (1.00rem) | 400500 | 1.50 | Standard body text |
| Body Bold | DM Sans | 16px (1.00rem) | 700 | 1.50 | Strong emphasis |
| Nav/Link | DM Sans | 14px (0.88rem) | 400500 | 1.50 | Navigation, links |
| Button Small | DM Sans | 13px (0.81rem) | 600 | 1.50 | Compact buttons |
| Caption | DM Sans / Poppins | 13px (0.81rem) | 400 | 1.70 (relaxed) | Metadata |
| Small Label | DM Sans | 12px (0.75rem) | 500600 | 1.251.50 | Tags, badges |
| Micro | DM Sans / Outfit | 10px (0.63rem) | 400500 | 1.501.80 | Tiny annotations |
### Principles
- **Multi-font purpose**: DM Sans = UI workhorse (body, nav, buttons); Outfit = geometric display (headings, product names); Poppins = friendly mid-tier (sub-headings, features); Roboto = technical/data contexts.
- **Universal 1.50 line-height**: The overwhelming majority of text uses 1.50 line-height, creating a consistent reading rhythm regardless of font or size. Exceptions: display (1.10 tight) and some captions (1.70 relaxed).
- **Weight 500 as default emphasis**: Most headings use 500 (medium) rather than bold, creating a modern, approachable tone. 600 for section titles, 700 reserved for strong emphasis.
- **Compact hierarchy**: The size scale jumps from 80px display straight to 2832px section, then 1620px body — a deliberate compression that keeps the visual hierarchy feeling efficient.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Pill Primary Dark**
- Background: `#181e25`
- Text: `#ffffff`
- Padding: 11px 20px

- Content: Product name, model version, descriptive text
- Each card has its own color palette matching the product identity
### AI Product Cards (Matrix)
- Background: white with subtle shadow
- Radius: 13px16px
- Shadow: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 4px 6px`
- Icon/illustration centered above product name
- Product name in DM Sans 1416px weight 500
### Links
- **Primary**: `#18181b` or `#181e25`, underline on dark text
- **Secondary**: `#8e8e93`, muted for less emphasis
- **On Dark**: `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8)` for footer and dark sections
### Navigation
- Clean horizontal nav on white background
- MiniMax logo left-aligned (red accent in logo)
- DM Sans 14px weight 500 for nav items
- Pill-shaped active indicators (9999px radius)
- "Login" text link, minimal right-side actions
- Sticky header behavior
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 14px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 50px, 64px, 80px
### Grid & Container
- Max content width centered on page
- Product card grids: horizontal scroll or 34 column layout
- Full-width white sections with contained content
- Dark footer at full-width
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <768px | Single column, stacked cards |
| Tablet | 7681024px | 2-column grids |
| Desktop | >1024px | Full layout, horizontal card scrolls |
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Gallery spacing**: Products are presented like gallery items with generous white space between cards, letting each AI model breathe as its own showcase.
- **Section rhythm**: Large vertical gaps (64px80px) between major sections create distinct "chapters" of content.
- **Card breathing**: Product cards use internal padding of 16px24px with ample whitespace around text.
### Border Radius Scale
- Minimal (4px): Small tags, micro badges
- Standard (8px): Buttons, small cards
- Comfortable (11px13px): Medium cards, panels
- Generous (16px20px): Large product cards
- Large (22px24px): Hero product cards, major containers
- Pill (30px32px): Badge pills, rounded panels
- Full (9999px): Buttons, nav tabs
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | White background, text blocks |
| Subtle (Level 1) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 4px 6px` | Standard cards, containers |
| Ambient (Level 2) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.08) 0px 0px 22.576px` | Soft glow around elements |
| Brand Glow (Level 3) | `rgba(44, 30, 116, 0.16) 0px 0px 15px` | Featured product cards |
| Elevated (Level 4) | `rgba(36, 36, 36, 0.08) 0px 12px 16px -4px` | Lifted cards, hover states |
**Shadow Philosophy**: MiniMax uses a distinctive purple-tinted shadow (`rgba(44, 30, 116, ...)`) for featured elements, creating a subtle brand-color glow that connects the shadow system to the blue brand identity. Standard shadows use neutral black but at low opacity (0.08), keeping everything feeling light and airy. The directional shadow variant (6.5px offset) adds dimensional interest to hero product cards.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use white as the dominant background — let product cards provide the color
- Apply pill radius (9999px) for navigation tabs and toggle buttons
- Use generous border radius (20px24px) for product showcase cards
- Employ the purple-tinted shadow for featured/hero product cards
- Keep body text at DM Sans weight 400500 — heavier weights for buttons only
- Use Outfit for display headings, DM Sans for everything functional
- Maintain the universal 1.50 line-height across body text
- Let colorful product illustrations/gradients serve as the primary visual interest
### Don't
- Don't add colored backgrounds to main content sections — white is structural
- Don't use sharp corners (04px radius) on product cards — the rounded aesthetic is core
- Don't apply the brand pink (`#ea5ec1`) to text or buttons — it's for logo and decorative accents only
- Don't mix more than one display font per section (Outfit OR Poppins, not both)
- Don't use weight 700 for headings — 500600 is the range, 700 is reserved for strong emphasis in body text
- Don't darken shadows beyond 0.16 opacity — the light, airy feel requires restraint
- Don't use Roboto for headings — it's the data/technical context font only
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <768px | Single column, stacked product cards, hamburger nav |
| Tablet | 7681024px | 2-column product grids, condensed spacing |
| Desktop | >1024px | Full horizontal card layouts, expanded spacing |
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 80px → responsive scaling to ~40px on mobile
- Product card grid: horizontal scroll → 2-column → single column stacked
- Navigation: horizontal → hamburger menu
- Footer: multi-column → stacked sections
- Spacing: 6480px gaps → 3240px on mobile
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Background: `#ffffff` (primary), `#181e25` (dark/footer)
- Text: `#222222` (primary), `#45515e` (secondary), `#8e8e93` (muted)
- Brand Blue: `#1456f0` (brand), `#3b82f6` (primary-500), `#2563eb` (hover)
- Brand Pink: `#ea5ec1` (accent only)
- Borders: `#e5e7eb`, `#f2f3f5`
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on white background. Headline at 80px Outfit weight 500, line-height 1.10, near-black (#222222) text. Sub-text at 16px DM Sans weight 400, line-height 1.50, #45515e. Dark CTA button (#181e25, 8px radius, 11px 20px padding, white text)."
- "Design a product card grid: white cards with 20px border-radius, shadow rgba(44,30,116,0.16) 0px 0px 15px. Product name at 28px Outfit weight 600. Internal gradient background for the product illustration area."
- "Build navigation bar: white background, DM Sans 14px weight 500 for links, #18181b text. Pill-shaped active tab (9999px radius, rgba(0,0,0,0.05) background). MiniMax logo left-aligned."
- "Create an AI product matrix: 4-column grid of cards with 13px radius, subtle shadow rgba(0,0,0,0.08) 0px 4px 6px. Centered icon above product name in DM Sans 16px weight 500."
- "Design footer on dark (#181e25) background. Product links in DM Sans 14px, rgba(255,255,255,0.8). Multi-column layout."
### Iteration Guide
1. Start with white — color comes from product cards and illustrations only
2. Pill buttons (9999px) for nav/tabs, standard radius (8px) for CTA buttons
3. Purple-tinted shadows for featured cards, neutral shadows for everything else
4. DM Sans handles 70% of text — Outfit is display-only, Poppins is mid-tier only
5. Keep weights moderate (500600 for headings) — the brand tone is confident but approachable
6. Large radius cards (2024px) for products, smaller radius (813px) for UI elements

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Mintlify's website is a study in documentation-as-product design — a white, airy, information-rich surface that treats clarity as its highest aesthetic value. The page opens with a luminous white (`#ffffff`) background, near-black (`#0d0d0d`) text, and a signature green brand accent (`#18E299`) that signals freshness and intelligence without dominating the palette. The overall mood is calm, confident, and engineered for legibility — a design system that whispers "we care about your developer experience" in every pixel.
The Inter font family carries the entire typographic load. At display sizes (4064px), it uses tight negative letter-spacing (-0.8px to -1.28px) and semibold weight (600), creating headlines that feel focused and compressed like well-written documentation headers. Body text at 1618px with 150% line-height provides generous reading comfort. Geist Mono appears exclusively for code and technical labels — uppercase, tracked-out, small — the voice of the terminal inside the marketing page.
What distinguishes Mintlify from other documentation platforms is its atmospheric gradient hero. A soft, cloud-like green-to-white gradient wash behind the hero content creates a sense of ethereal intelligence — documentation that floats above the noise. Below the hero, the page settles into a disciplined alternation of white sections separated by subtle 5% opacity borders. Cards use generous padding (24px+) with large radii (16px24px) and whisper-thin borders, creating containers that feel open rather than boxed.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Inter with tight negative tracking at display sizes (-0.8px to -1.28px) — compressed yet readable
- Geist Mono for code labels: uppercase, 12px, tracked-out, the terminal voice
- Brand green (`#18E299`) used sparingly — CTAs, hover states, focus rings, and accent touches
- Atmospheric gradient hero with cloud-like green-white wash
- Ultra-round corners: 16px for containers, 24px for featured cards, full-round (9999px) for buttons and pills
- Subtle 5% opacity borders (`rgba(0,0,0,0.05)`) creating barely-there separation
- 8px base spacing system with generous section padding (48px96px)
- Clean white canvas — no gray backgrounds, no color sections, depth through borders and whitespace alone
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Near Black** (`#0d0d0d`): Primary text, headings, dark surfaces. Not pure black — the micro-softness improves reading comfort.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Page background, card surfaces, input backgrounds.
- **Brand Green** (`#18E299`): The signature accent — CTAs, links on hover, focus rings, brand identity.
### Secondary Accents
- **Brand Green Light** (`#d4fae8`): Tinted green surface for badges, hover states, subtle backgrounds.
- **Brand Green Deep** (`#0fa76e`): Darker green for text on light-green badges, hover states on brand elements.
- **Warm Amber** (`#c37d0d`): Warning states, caution badges — `--twoslash-warn-bg`.
- **Soft Blue** (`#3772cf`): Tag backgrounds, informational annotations — `--twoslash-tag-bg`.
- **Error Red** (`#d45656`): Error states, destructive actions — `--twoslash-error-bg`.
### Neutral Scale
- **Gray 900** (`#0d0d0d`): Primary heading text, nav links.
- **Gray 700** (`#333333`): Secondary text, descriptions, body copy.
- **Gray 500** (`#666666`): Tertiary text, muted labels.
- **Gray 400** (`#888888`): Placeholder text, disabled states, code annotations.
- **Gray 200** (`#e5e5e5`): Borders, dividers, card outlines.
- **Gray 100** (`#f5f5f5`): Subtle surface backgrounds, hover states.
- **Gray 50** (`#fafafa`): Near-white surface tint.
### Interactive
- **Link Default** (`#0d0d0d`): Links match text color, relying on underline/context.
- **Link Hover** (`#18E299`): Brand green on hover — `var(--color-brand)`.
- **Focus Ring** (`#18E299`): Brand green focus outline for inputs and interactive elements.
### Surface & Overlay
- **Card Background** (`#ffffff`): White cards on white background, separated by borders.
- **Border Subtle** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.05)`): 5% black opacity borders — the primary separation mechanism.
- **Border Medium** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.08)`): Slightly stronger borders for interactive elements.
- **Input Border Focus** (`var(--color-brand)`): Green ring on focused inputs.
### Shadows & Depth
- **Card Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.03) 0px 2px 4px`): Barely-there ambient shadow for subtle lift.
- **Button Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.06) 0px 1px 2px`): Micro-shadow for button depth.
- **No heavy shadows**: Mintlify relies on borders, not shadows, for depth.
## 3. Typography Rules

- **Monospace**: `Geist Mono`, with fallback: `Geist Mono Fallback, ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, monospace`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Inter | 64px (4.00rem) | 600 | 1.15 (tight) | -1.28px | Maximum impact, hero headlines |
| Section Heading | Inter | 40px (2.50rem) | 600 | 1.10 (tight) | -0.8px | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | Inter | 24px (1.50rem) | 500 | 1.30 (tight) | -0.24px | Card headings, sub-sections |
| Card Title | Inter | 20px (1.25rem) | 600 | 1.30 (tight) | -0.2px | Feature card titles |

| Body Large | Inter | 18px (1.13rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Hero descriptions, introductions |
| Body | Inter | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Standard reading text |
| Body Medium | Inter | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.50 | normal | Navigation, emphasized text |
| Button | Inter | 15px (0.94rem) | 500 | 1.50 | normal | Button labels |
| Link | Inter | 14px (0.88rem) | 500 | 1.50 | normal | Navigation links, small CTAs |
| Caption | Inter | 14px (0.88rem) | 400500 | 1.501.71 | normal | Metadata, descriptions |
| Label Uppercase | Inter | 13px (0.81rem) | 500 | 1.50 | 0.65px | `text-transform: uppercase`, section labels |
| Small | Inter | 13px (0.81rem) | 400500 | 1.50 | -0.26px | Small body text |
| Mono Code | Geist Mono | 12px (0.75rem) | 500 | 1.50 | 0.6px | `text-transform: uppercase`, technical labels |
| Mono Badge | Geist Mono | 12px (0.75rem) | 600 | 1.50 | 0.6px | `text-transform: uppercase`, status badges |
| Mono Micro | Geist Mono | 10px (0.63rem) | 500 | 1.50 | normal | `text-transform: uppercase`, tiny labels |
### Principles
- **Tight tracking at display sizes**: Inter at 4064px uses -0.8px to -1.28px letter-spacing. This compression creates headlines that feel deliberate and space-efficient — documentation headings, not billboard copy.
- **Relaxed reading at body sizes**: 1618px body text uses normal tracking with 150% line-height, creating generous reading lanes. Documentation demands comfort.
- **Two-font system**: Inter for all human-readable content, Geist Mono exclusively for technical/code contexts. The boundary is strict — no mixing.
- **Uppercase as hierarchy signal**: Section labels and technical tags use uppercase + positive tracking (0.6px0.65px) as a clear visual delimiter between content types.
- **Three weights**: 400 (body/reading), 500 (UI/navigation/emphasis), 600 (headings/titles). No bold (700) in the system.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px
- Section padding: 48px96px vertical
- Card padding: 24px32px
- Component gaps: 8px16px
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 1200px
- Hero: centered single-column with generous top padding (96px+)
- Feature sections: 23 column CSS Grid for cards
- Full-width sections with contained content
- Consistent horizontal padding: 24px (mobile) to 32px (desktop)
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Documentation-grade breathing room**: Every element has generous surrounding whitespace. Mintlify sells documentation, so the marketing page itself demonstrates reading comfort.
- **Sections as chapters**: Each feature section is a self-contained unit with 48px96px vertical padding, creating clear "chapter breaks."
- **Content density is low**: Unlike developer tools that pack the page, Mintlify uses 12 key messages per section with supporting imagery.
### Border Radius Scale
- Small (4px): Inline code, small tags, tooltips
- Medium (8px): Nav buttons, transparent buttons, small containers
- Standard (16px): Cards, content containers, image wrappers
- Large (24px): Featured cards, hero containers, section panels
- Full Pill (9999px): Buttons, inputs, badges, pills — the signature shape
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Page background, text blocks |
| Subtle Border (Level 1) | `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.05)` | Standard card borders, dividers |
| Medium Border (Level 1b) | `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08)` | Interactive elements, input borders |
| Ambient Shadow (Level 2) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.03) 0px 2px 4px` | Cards with subtle lift |
| Button Shadow (Level 2b) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.06) 0px 1px 2px` | Button micro-depth |
| Focus Ring (Accessibility) | `1px solid #18E299` outline | Focused inputs, active interactive elements |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Mintlify barely uses shadows. The depth system is almost entirely border-driven — ultra-subtle 5% opacity borders create separation without visual weight. When shadows appear, they're atmospheric whispers (`0.03 opacity, 2px blur, 4px spread`) that add the barest sense of lift. This restraint keeps the page feeling flat and paper-like — appropriate for a documentation company whose product is about clarity and readability.
### Decorative Depth
- Hero gradient: atmospheric green-white cloud gradient behind hero content
- No background color alternation — white on white throughout
- Depth comes from border opacity variation (5% → 8%) and whitespace
## 7. Dark Mode
### Color Inversions
- **Background**: `#0d0d0d` (near-black)
- **Text Primary**: `#ededed` (near-white)
- **Text Secondary**: `#a0a0a0` (muted gray)
- **Brand Green**: `#18E299` (unchanged — the green works on both backgrounds)
- **Border**: `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)` (white at 8% opacity)
- **Card Background**: `#141414` (slightly lighter than page)
- **Shadow**: `rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0px 2px 4px` (stronger shadow for contrast)
### Key Adjustments
- Buttons invert: white background dark text becomes dark background light text
- Badge backgrounds shift to deeper tones with lighter text
- Focus ring remains brand green
- Hero gradient shifts to dark-tinted green atmospheric wash
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <768px | Single column, stacked layout, hamburger nav |
| Tablet | 7681024px | Two-column grids begin, expanded padding |
| Desktop | >1024px | Full layout, 3-column grids, maximum content width |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons with full-pill shape have comfortable 8px+ vertical padding
- Navigation links spaced with adequate 16px+ gaps
- Mobile menu provides full-width tap targets
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 64px → 40px headline, maintains tight tracking proportionally
- Navigation: horizontal links + CTA → hamburger menu at 768px
- Feature cards: 3-column → 2-column → single column stacked
- Section spacing: 96px → 48px on mobile
- Footer: multi-column → stacked single column
- Trust bar: grid → horizontal scroll or stacked
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots maintain aspect ratio with responsive containers
- Hero gradient simplifies on mobile
- Full-width sections maintain edge-to-edge treatment
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary CTA: Near Black (`#0d0d0d`)
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Heading text: Near Black (`#0d0d0d`)
- Body text: Gray 700 (`#333333`)

- Link hover: Brand Green (`#18E299`)
- Focus ring: Brand Green (`#18E299`)
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on white background with atmospheric green-white gradient wash. Headline at 64px Inter weight 600, line-height 1.15, letter-spacing -1.28px, color #0d0d0d. Subtitle at 18px Inter weight 400, line-height 1.50, color #666666. Dark pill CTA (#0d0d0d, 9999px radius, 8px 24px padding) and ghost pill button (white, 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.08), 9999px radius)."
- "Design a card: white background, 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.05) border, 16px radius, 24px padding, shadow rgba(0,0,0,0.03) 0px 2px 4px. Title at 20px Inter weight 600, letter-spacing -0.2px. Body at 14px weight 400, #666666."

- "Create navigation: white sticky header with backdrop-filter blur(12px). Inter 15px weight 500 for links, #0d0d0d text. Dark pill CTA 'Get Started' right-aligned, 9999px radius. Bottom border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.05)."
- "Design a trust section showing company logos in muted gray. Grid layout with 16px radius containers, 1px border at 5% opacity. Label above: 'Loved by your favorite companies' at 13px Inter weight 500, uppercase, tracking 0.65px."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always use full-pill radius (9999px) for buttons and inputs — this is Mintlify's signature shape
2. Keep borders at 5% opacity (`rgba(0,0,0,0.05)`) — stronger borders break the airy feeling
3. Letter-spacing scales with font size: -1.28px at 64px, -0.8px at 40px, -0.24px at 24px, normal at 16px
4. Three weights only: 400 (read), 500 (interact), 600 (announce)
5. Brand green (`#18E299`) is used sparingly — CTAs and hover states only, never for decorative fills
6. Geist Mono uppercase for technical labels, Inter for everything else
7. Section padding is generous: 64px96px on desktop, 48px on mobile
8. No gray background sections — white throughout, separation through borders and whitespace

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Miro's website is a clean, collaborative-tool-forward platform that communicates "visual thinking" through generous whitespace, pastel accent colors, and a confident geometric font. The design uses a predominantly white canvas with near-black text (`#1c1c1e`) and a distinctive pastel color palette — coral, rose, teal, orange, yellow, moss — each representing different collaboration contexts.
The typography uses Roobert PRO Medium as the primary display font with OpenType character variants (`"blwf", "cv03", "cv04", "cv09", "cv11"`) and negative letter-spacing (-1.68px at 56px). Noto Sans handles body text with its own stylistic set (`"liga" 0, "ss01", "ss04", "ss05"`). The design is built with Framer, giving it smooth animations and modern component patterns.
**Key Characteristics:**
- White canvas with near-black (`#1c1c1e`) text
- Roobert PRO Medium with multiple OpenType character variants
- Pastel accent palette: coral, rose, teal, orange, yellow, moss (light + dark pairs)

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Mistral AI's interface is a sun-drenched landscape rendered in code — a warm, bold, unapologetically European design that trades the typical blue-screen AI aesthetic for golden amber, burnt orange, and the feeling of late-afternoon light in southern France. Every surface glows with warmth: backgrounds fade from pale cream to deep amber, shadows carry golden undertones (`rgba(127, 99, 21, ...)`), and the brand's signature orange (`#fa520f`) burns through the page like a signal fire.
The design language is maximalist in its warmth but minimalist in its structure. Huge display headlines (82px) crash into the viewport with aggressive negative tracking (-2.05px), creating text blocks that feel like billboards or protest posters — declarations rather than descriptions. The typography uses Arial (likely a custom font with Arial as fallback) at extreme sizes, creating a raw, unadorned voice that says "we build frontier AI" with no decoration needed.
What makes Mistral distinctive is the complete commitment to a warm color temperature. The signature "block" identity — a gradient system flowing from bright yellow (`#ffd900`) through amber (`#ffa110`) to burnt orange (`#fa520f`) — creates a visual identity that's immediately recognizable. Even the shadows are warm, using amber-tinted blacks instead of cool grays. Combined with dramatic landscape photography in golden tones, the design feels less like a tech company and more like a European luxury brand that happens to build language models.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Golden-amber color universe: every tone from pale cream (#fffaeb) to burnt orange (#fa520f)
- Massive display typography (82px) with aggressive negative letter-spacing (-2.05px)
- Warm golden shadow system using amber-tinted rgba values
- The Mistral "M" block identity — a gradient from yellow to orange
- Dramatic landscape photography in warm golden tones
- Uppercase typography used strategically for section labels and CTAs
- Near-zero border-radius — sharp, architectural geometry
- French-European confidence: bold, warm, declarative
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Mistral Orange** (`#fa520f`): The core brand color — a vivid, saturated orange-red that anchors the entire identity. Used for primary emphasis, the brand block, and the highest-signal moments.
- **Mistral Flame** (`#fb6424`): A slightly warmer, lighter variant of the brand orange used for secondary brand moments and hover states.
- **Block Orange** (`#ff8105`): A pure orange used in the gradient block system — warmer and less red than Mistral Orange.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Sunshine 900** (`#ff8a00`): Deep golden amber — the darkest sunshine tone, used for strong accent moments.
- **Sunshine 700** (`#ffa110`): Warm amber-gold — the core sunshine accent for backgrounds and interactive elements.
- **Sunshine 500** (`#ffb83e`): Medium golden — balanced warmth for mid-level emphasis.
- **Sunshine 300** (`#ffd06a`): Light golden — for subtle warm tints and secondary backgrounds.
- **Block Gold** (`#ffe295`): Pale gold — soft background accents and gentle warmth.
- **Bright Yellow** (`#ffd900`): The brightest tone in the gradient — used at the "top" of the block identity.
### Surface & Background
- **Warm Ivory** (`#fffaeb`): The lightest page background — barely tinted with warmth, the foundation canvas.
- **Cream** (`#fff0c2`): The primary warm surface and secondary button background — noticeably golden.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Used for maximum contrast elements and popover surfaces.
- **Mistral Black** (`#1f1f1f`): The primary dark surface for buttons, text, and dark sections.
- **Accent Orange** (defined as `hsl(17, 96%, 52%)`): The functional accent color for interactive states.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Mistral Black** (`#1f1f1f`): Primary text color and dark button backgrounds — a near-black that's warmer than pure #000.
- **Black Tint** (defined as `hsl(0, 0%, 24%)`): A medium dark gray for secondary text on light backgrounds.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Text on dark surfaces and CTA labels.
### Semantic & Accent
- **Input Border** (defined as `hsl(240, 5.9%, 90%)`): A cool-tinted light gray for form borders — one of the few cool tones in the system.
- **White Overlay** (`oklab(1, 0, 0 / 0.0880.1)`): Semi-transparent white for frosted glass effects and button overlays.
### Gradient System
- **Mistral Block Gradient**: The signature identity — a multi-step gradient flowing through Yellow (`#ffd900`) → Gold (`#ffe295`) → Amber (`#ffa110`) → Orange (`#ff8105`) → Flame (`#fb6424`) → Mistral Orange (`#fa520f`). This gradient appears in the logo blocks, section backgrounds, and decorative elements.
- **Golden Landscape Wash**: Photography and backgrounds use warm amber overlays creating a consistent golden temperature across the page.
- **Warm Shadow Cascade**: Multi-layered golden shadows that build depth with amber-tinted transparency rather than gray.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: Likely a custom font (Font Source detected) with `Arial` as fallback, and extended stack: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | Arial (custom) | 82px (5.13rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | -2.05px | Maximum impact, billboard scale |
| Section Heading | Arial (custom) | 56px (3.5rem) | 400 | 0.95 (ultra-tight) | normal | Feature section anchors |
| Sub-heading Large | Arial (custom) | 48px (3rem) | 400 | 0.95 (ultra-tight) | normal | Secondary section titles |
| Sub-heading | Arial (custom) | 32px (2rem) | 400 | 1.15 (tight) | normal | Card headings, feature names |
| Card Title | Arial (custom) | 30px (1.88rem) | 400 | 1.20 (tight) | normal | Mid-level headings |
| Feature Title | Arial (custom) | 24px (1.5rem) | 400 | 1.33 | normal | Small headings |
| Body / Button | Arial (custom) | 16px (1rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Standard body, button text |
| Button Uppercase | Arial (custom) | 16px (1rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Uppercase CTA labels |
| Caption / Link | Arial (custom) | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Metadata, secondary links |
### Principles
- **Single weight, maximum impact**: The entire system uses weight 400 (regular) — even at 82px. This creates a surprisingly elegant effect where the size alone carries authority without needing bold weight.
- **Ultra-tight at scale**: Line-heights of 0.951.00 at display sizes create text blocks where ascenders nearly touch descenders from the line above — creating dense, poster-like composition.
- **Aggressive tracking on display**: -2.05px letter-spacing at 82px compresses the hero text into a monolithic block.
- **Uppercase as emphasis**: Strategic `text-transform: uppercase` on button labels and section markers creates a formal, European signage quality.
- **No weight variation**: Unlike most systems that use 300700 weight range, Mistral uses 400 everywhere. Hierarchy comes from size and color, never weight.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Cream Surface**
- Background: Cream (`#fff0c2`)
- Text: Mistral Black (`#1f1f1f`)
- No visible border
- The warm, inviting secondary CTA
**Dark Solid**
- Background: Mistral Black (`#1f1f1f`)
- Text: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Padding: 12px (all sides)
- No visible border
- The primary action button — dark on warm
**Ghost / Transparent**
- Background: transparent with slight dark overlay (`oklab(0, 0, 0 / 0.1)`)
- Text: Mistral Black (`#1f1f1f`)
- Opacity: 0.4
- For secondary/de-emphasized actions
**Text / Underline**
- Background: transparent
- Text: Mistral Black (`#1f1f1f`)
- Padding: 8px 0px 0px (top-only)
- Minimal styling — text link as button
- For tertiary navigation actions
### Cards & Containers
- Background: Warm Ivory (`#fffaeb`), Cream (`#fff0c2`), or Pure White
- Border: minimal to none — containers defined by background color
- Radius: near-zero — sharp, architectural corners
- Shadow: warm golden multi-layer (`rgba(127, 99, 21, 0.12) -8px 16px 39px, rgba(127, 99, 21, 0.1) -33px 64px 72px, rgba(127, 99, 21, 0.06) -73px 144px 97px, ...`) — a dramatic, cascading warm shadow
- Distinctive: the golden shadow creates a "golden hour" lighting effect
### Inputs & Forms
- Border: `hsl(240, 5.9%, 90%)` — the sole cool-toned element
- Focus: accent color ring
- Minimal styling consistent with sparse aesthetic
### Navigation
- Transparent nav overlaying the warm hero
- Logo: Mistral "M" wordmark
- Links: Dark text (white on dark sections)
- CTA: Dark solid button or cream surface button
- Minimal, wide-spaced layout
### Image Treatment
- Dramatic landscape photography in warm golden tones
- The winding road through golden hills — a recurring visual motif
- The Mistral "M" rendered at large scale on golden backgrounds
- Warm color grading on all photography
- Full-bleed sections with photography
### Distinctive Components
**Mistral Block Identity**
- A row of colored blocks forming the gradient: yellow → amber → orange → burnt orange
- Each block gets progressively more orange/red
- The visual DNA of the brand — recognizable at any size
**Golden Shadow Cards**
- Cards elevated with warm amber multi-layered shadows
- 5 layers of shadow from 16px to 400px offset
- Creates a "floating in golden light" effect unique to Mistral
**Dark Footer Gradient**
- Footer transitions from warm amber to dark through a dramatic gradient
- Creates a "sunset" effect as the page ends
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 64px, 80px, 98px, 100px
- Button padding: 12px or 8px 0px (compact)
- Section vertical spacing: very generous (80px100px)
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: approximately 1280px, centered
- Hero: full-width with massive typography overlaying warm backgrounds
- Feature sections: wide-format layouts with dramatic imagery
- Card grids: 23 column layouts
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Bold declarations**: Huge headlines surrounded by generous whitespace create billboard-like impact — each statement gets its own breathing space.
- **Warm void**: Empty space itself feels warm because the backgrounds are tinted ivory/cream rather than pure white.
- **Photography as space-filler**: Large landscape images serve double duty as content and decorative whitespace.
### Border Radius Scale
- Near-zero: The dominant radius — sharp, architectural corners on most elements
- This extreme sharpness contrasts with the warmth of the colors, creating a tension between soft color and hard geometry.
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page backgrounds, text blocks |
| Golden Float (Level 1) | Multi-layer warm shadow (5 layers, 12%→0% opacity, amber-tinted) | Feature cards, product showcases, elevated content |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Mistral uses a single but extraordinarily complex shadow — **five cascading layers** of amber-tinted shadow (`rgba(127, 99, 21, ...)`) that build from a close 16px offset to a distant 400px offset. The result is a rich, warm, "golden hour" lighting effect that makes elevated elements look like they're bathed in afternoon sunlight. This is the most distinctive shadow system in any major AI brand.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use the warm color spectrum exclusively: ivory, cream, amber, gold, orange
- Keep display typography at 82px+ with -2.05px letter-spacing for hero sections
- Use the Mistral block gradient (yellow → amber → orange) for brand moments
- Apply warm golden shadows (amber-tinted rgba) for elevated elements
- Use Mistral Black (#1f1f1f) for text — never pure #000000
- Keep font weight at 400 throughout — let size and color carry hierarchy
- Use sharp, architectural corners — near-zero border-radius
- Apply uppercase on button labels and section markers for European formality
- Use warm landscape photography with golden color grading
### Don't
- Don't introduce cool colors (blue, green, purple) — the palette is exclusively warm
- Don't use bold (700+) weight — 400 is the only weight
- Don't round corners — the sharp geometry is intentional
- Don't use cool-toned shadows — shadows must carry amber warmth
- Don't use pure white as a page background — always warm-tinted (#fffaeb minimum)
- Don't reduce hero text below 48px on desktop — the billboard scale is core
- Don't use more than 2 font weights — size variation replaces weight variation
- Don't add gradients outside the warm spectrum — no blue-to-purple, no cool transitions
- Don't use generic gray for text — even neutrals should be warm-tinted
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <640px | Single column, stacked everything, hero text reduces to ~32px |
| Tablet | 640768px | Minor layout adjustments |
| Small Desktop | 7681024px | 2-column layouts begin |
| Desktop | 10241280px | Full layout with maximum typography scale |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use generous padding (12px minimum)
- Navigation elements adequately spaced
- Cards serve as large touch targets
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Collapses to hamburger on mobile
- **Hero text**: 82px → 56px → 48px → 32px progressive scaling
- **Feature sections**: Multi-column → stacked
- **Photography**: Scales proportionally, may crop on mobile
- **Block identity**: Scales down proportionally
### Image Behavior
- Landscape photography scales proportionally
- Warm color grading maintained at all sizes
- Block gradient elements resize fluidly
- No art direction changes — same warm composition at all sizes
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Brand Orange: "Mistral Orange (#fa520f)"
- Page Background: "Warm Ivory (#fffaeb)"
- Warm Surface: "Cream (#fff0c2)"
- Primary Text: "Mistral Black (#1f1f1f)"
- Sunshine Amber: "Sunshine 700 (#ffa110)"
- Bright Gold: "Bright Yellow (#ffd900)"
- Text on Dark: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Warm Ivory (#fffaeb) with a massive headline at 82px Arial weight 400, line-height 1.0, letter-spacing -2.05px. Mistral Black (#1f1f1f) text. Add a dark solid CTA button (#1f1f1f bg, white text, 12px padding, sharp corners) and a cream secondary button (#fff0c2 bg)."
- "Design a feature card on Cream (#fff0c2) with sharp corners (no border-radius). Apply the golden shadow system: rgba(127, 99, 21, 0.12) -8px 16px 39px as the primary layer. Title at 32px weight 400, body at 16px."
- "Build the Mistral block identity: a row of colored blocks from Bright Yellow (#ffd900) through Sunshine 700 (#ffa110) to Mistral Orange (#fa520f). Sharp corners, no gaps."
- "Create a dark footer section on Mistral Black (#1f1f1f) with Pure White (#ffffff) text. Footer links at 14px. Add a warm gradient from Sunshine 700 (#ffa110) at the top fading to Mistral Black."
### Iteration Guide
1. Keep the warm temperature — "shift toward amber" not "shift toward gray"
2. Use size for hierarchy — 82px → 56px → 48px → 32px → 24px → 16px
3. Never add border-radius — sharp corners only
4. Shadows are always warm: "golden shadow with amber tones"
5. Font weight is always 400 — describe emphasis through size and color

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
MongoDB's website is a deep-forest-meets-terminal experience — a design system rooted in the darkest teal-black (`#001e2b`) that evokes both the density of a database and the depth of a forest canopy. Against this near-black canvas, a striking neon green (`#00ed64`) pulses as the brand accent — bright enough to feel electric, organic enough to feel alive. This isn't the cold neon of cyberpunk; it's the bioluminescent green of something growing in the dark.
The typography system is architecturally ambitious: MongoDB Value Serif for massive hero headlines (96px) creates an editorial, authoritative presence — serif type at database-company scale is a bold choice that says "we're not just another tech company." Euclid Circular A handles the heavy lifting of body and UI text with an unusually wide weight range (300700), while Source Code Pro serves as the code and label font with distinctive uppercase treatments featuring very wide letter-spacing (1px3px). This three-font system creates a hierarchy that spans editorial elegance → geometric professionalism → engineering precision.
What makes MongoDB distinctive is its dual-mode design: a dark hero/feature section world (`#001e2b` with neon green accents) and a light content world (white with teal-gray borders `#b8c4c2`). The transition between these modes creates dramatic contrast. The shadow system uses teal-tinted dark shadows (`rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.12)`) that maintain the forest-dark atmosphere even on light surfaces. Buttons use pill shapes (100px999px radius) with MongoDB Green borders (`#00684a`), and the entire component system references the LeafyGreen design system.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Deep teal-black backgrounds (`#001e2b`) — forest-dark, not space-dark
- Neon MongoDB Green (`#00ed64`) as the singular brand accent — electric and organic
- MongoDB Value Serif for hero headlines — editorial authority at tech scale
- Euclid Circular A for body with weight 300 (light) as a distinctive body weight
- Source Code Pro with wide uppercase letter-spacing (1px3px) for technical labels
- Teal-tinted shadows: `rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.12)` — shadows carry the forest color
- Dual-mode: dark teal hero sections + light white content sections
- Pill buttons (100px radius) with green borders (`#00684a`)
- Link Blue (`#006cfa`) and hover transition to `#3860be`
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary Brand
- **Forest Black** (`#001e2b`): Primary dark background — the deepest teal-black
- **MongoDB Green** (`#00ed64`): Primary brand accent — neon green for highlights, underlines, gradients

### Interactive
- **Action Blue** (`#006cfa`): Secondary accent — links, interactive highlights
- **Hover Blue** (`#3860be`): All link hover states transition to this blue
- **Teal Active** (`#1eaedb`): Button hover background — bright teal
### Neutral Scale
- **Deep Teal** (`#1c2d38`): Dark button backgrounds, secondary dark surfaces
- **Teal Gray** (`#3d4f58`): Dark borders on dark surfaces
- **Dark Slate** (`#21313c`): Dark link text variant
- **Cool Gray** (`#5c6c75`): Muted text on dark, secondary button text
- **Silver Teal** (`#b8c4c2`): Borders on light surfaces, dividers
- **Light Input** (`#e8edeb`): Input text on dark surfaces
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Light section background, button text on dark
- **Black** (`#000000`): Text on light surfaces, darkest elements
### Shadows
- **Forest Shadow** (`rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.12) 0px 26px 44px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13) 0px 7px 13px`): Primary card elevation — teal-tinted
- **Standard Shadow** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 0px 3px 20px`): General elevation
- **Subtle Shadow** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 2px 4px`): Light card lift
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Families
- **Display Serif**: `MongoDB Value Serif` — editorial hero headlines
- **Body / UI**: `Euclid Circular A` — geometric sans-serif workhorse
- **Code / Labels**: `Source Code Pro` — monospace with uppercase label treatments
- **Fallbacks**: `Akzidenz-Grotesk Std` (with CJK: Noto Sans KR/SC/JP), `Times`, `Arial`, `system-ui`
### Hierarchy

### Principles
- **Serif for authority**: MongoDB Value Serif at hero scale creates an editorial presence unusual in tech — it communicates that MongoDB is an institution, not a startup.
- **Weight 300 as body default**: Euclid Circular A uses light (300) for body text, creating an airy reading experience that contrasts with the dense, dark backgrounds.
- **Wide-tracked monospace labels**: Source Code Pro uppercase at 1px3px letter-spacing creates technical signposts that feel like database field labels — systematic, structured, classified.
- **Four-weight range**: 300 (light body) → 400 (standard) → 500 (UI/nav) → 700 (bold CTA) — a wider range than most systems, enabling fine-grained hierarchy.

- MongoDB logo (leaf icon + wordmark) left-aligned
- Green CTA pill buttons right-aligned
- Mega-menu dropdowns with product categories
### Image Treatment
- Dashboard screenshots on dark backgrounds
- Green-accented UI elements in screenshots
- 30px32px radius on image containers
- Full-width dark sections for product showcases
### Distinctive Components
**Neon Green Accent Underlines**
- `0px 2px 2px 0px solid #00ed64` — bottom + right border creating accent underlines
- Used on feature headings and highlighted text
- Also appears as `#006cfa` (blue) variant
**Source Code Label System**
- 14px uppercase Source Code Pro with 1px2px letter-spacing

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 24px, 32px
### Grid & Container
- Max content width centered
- Dark hero section with contained content
- Light content sections below
- Card grids: 23 columns
- Full-width dark footer
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Dramatic mode transitions**: The shift from dark teal sections to white content creates built-in visual breathing through contrast, not just space.
- **Generous dark sections**: Dark hero and feature areas use extra vertical padding (80px+) to let the forest-dark background breathe.
- **Compact light sections**: White content areas are denser, with tighter card grids and less vertical spacing.
### Border Radius Scale
- Minimal (1px2px): Small spans, badges
- Subtle (4px): Inputs, small buttons
- Standard (8px): Cards, links
- Card (16px): Standard cards, containers
- Toggle (20px): Switch elements
- Large (24px): Large panels
- Image (30px32px): Image containers
- Hero (48px): Hero cards
- Pill (100px999px): Buttons, navigation pills
- Full (9999px): Maximum pill

| Standard (Level 2) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px 3px 9px` | Standard cards |
| Prominent (Level 3) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.15) 0px 3px 20px` | Elevated panels |
| Forest (Level 4) | `rgba(0,30,43,0.12) 0px 26px 44px, rgba(0,0,0,0.13) 0px 7px 13px` | Hero cards — teal-tinted |
**Shadow Philosophy**: MongoDB's shadow system is unique in that the primary elevation shadow uses `rgba(0, 30, 43, 0.12)` — a teal-tinted shadow that carries the forest-dark brand color into the depth system. This means even on white surfaces, shadows feel like they belong to the MongoDB color world rather than being generic neutral black.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use `#001e2b` (forest-black) for dark sections — not pure black
- Apply MongoDB Green (`#00ed64`) sparingly for maximum electric impact
- Use MongoDB Value Serif ONLY for hero/display headings — Euclid Circular A for everything else
- Apply Source Code Pro uppercase with wide tracking (1px3px) for technical labels
- Use teal-tinted shadows (`rgba(0,30,43,0.12)`) for primary card elevation
- Maintain the dark/light section duality — dramatic contrast between modes
- Use weight 300 for body text — the light weight is the readable voice
- Apply pill radius (100px) to primary action buttons
### Don't
- Don't use pure black (`#000000`) for dark backgrounds — always use teal-black (`#001e2b`)
- Don't use MongoDB Green (`#00ed64`) on backgrounds — it's an accent for text, underlines, and small highlights
- Don't use standard gray shadows — always use teal-tinted (`rgba(0,30,43,...)`)
- Don't apply serif font to body text — MongoDB Value Serif is hero-only
- Don't use narrow letter-spacing on Source Code Pro labels — the wide tracking IS the identity
- Don't mix dark and light section treatments within the same section
- Don't use warm colors — the palette is strictly cool (teal, green, blue)
- Don't forget the green accent underlines — they're the signature decorative element
## 8. Responsive Behavior

- "Build a dark section: #001e2b background, 1px solid #3d4f58 border on cards. White text. MongoDB Green (#00ed64) accent underlines on headings using bottom-border 2px solid."
- "Create technical label: Source Code Pro 14px, text-transform uppercase, letter-spacing 2px, weight 500, #00ed64 color on dark background."
- "Design a pill button: #1c2d38 background, 1px solid #3d4f58 border, 100px radius, #5c6c75 text. Hover: #1eaedb background, white text, translateX(5px)."
### Iteration Guide
1. Start with the mode decision: dark (#001e2b) for hero/features, white for content
2. MongoDB Green (#00ed64) is electric — use once per section for maximum impact
3. Serif headlines (MongoDB Value Serif) create the editorial authority — never use for body
4. Weight 300 body text creates the airy reading experience — don't default to 400
5. Source Code Pro uppercase with wide tracking for technical labels — the database voice
6. Teal-tinted shadows keep everything in the MongoDB color world

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Notion's website embodies the philosophy of the tool itself: a blank canvas that gets out of your way. The design system is built on warm neutrals rather than cold grays, creating a distinctly approachable minimalism that feels like quality paper rather than sterile glass. The page canvas is pure white (`#ffffff`) but the text isn't pure black -- it's a warm near-black (`rgba(0,0,0,0.95)`) that softens the reading experience imperceptibly. The warm gray scale (`#f6f5f4`, `#31302e`, `#615d59`, `#a39e98`) carries subtle yellow-brown undertones, giving the interface a tactile, almost analog warmth.
The custom NotionInter font (a modified Inter) is the backbone of the system. At display sizes (64px), it uses aggressive negative letter-spacing (-2.125px), creating headlines that feel compressed and precise. The weight range is broader than typical systems: 400 for body, 500 for UI elements, 600 for semi-bold labels, and 700 for display headings. OpenType features `"lnum"` (lining numerals) and `"locl"` (localized forms) are enabled on larger text, adding typographic sophistication that rewards close reading.
What makes Notion's visual language distinctive is its border philosophy. Rather than heavy borders or shadows, Notion uses ultra-thin `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` borders -- borders that exist as whispers, barely perceptible division lines that create structure without weight. The shadow system is equally restrained: multi-layer stacks with cumulative opacity never exceeding 0.05, creating depth that's felt rather than seen.
**Key Characteristics:**
- NotionInter (modified Inter) with negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-2.125px at 64px)
- Warm neutral palette: grays carry yellow-brown undertones (`#f6f5f4` warm white, `#31302e` warm dark)
- Near-black text via `rgba(0,0,0,0.95)` -- not pure black, creating micro-warmth
- Ultra-thin borders: `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` throughout -- whisper-weight division
- Multi-layer shadow stacks with sub-0.05 opacity for barely-there depth
- Notion Blue (`#0075de`) as the singular accent color for CTAs and interactive elements
- Pill badges (9999px radius) with tinted blue backgrounds for status indicators
- 8px base spacing unit with an organic, non-rigid scale
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Notion Black** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.95)` / `#000000f2`): Primary text, headings, body copy. The 95% opacity softens pure black without sacrificing readability.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Page background, card surfaces, button text on blue.
- **Notion Blue** (`#0075de`): Primary CTA, link color, interactive accent -- the only saturated color in the core UI chrome.
### Brand Secondary
- **Deep Navy** (`#213183`): Secondary brand color, used sparingly for emphasis and dark feature sections.
- **Active Blue** (`#005bab`): Button active/pressed state -- darker variant of Notion Blue.
### Warm Neutral Scale
- **Warm White** (`#f6f5f4`): Background surface tint, section alternation, subtle card fill. The yellow undertone is key.
- **Warm Dark** (`#31302e`): Dark surface background, dark section text. Warmer than standard grays.
- **Warm Gray 500** (`#615d59`): Secondary text, descriptions, muted labels.
- **Warm Gray 300** (`#a39e98`): Placeholder text, disabled states, caption text.
### Semantic Accent Colors
- **Teal** (`#2a9d99`): Success states, positive indicators.
- **Green** (`#1aae39`): Confirmation, completion badges.
- **Orange** (`#dd5b00`): Warning states, attention indicators.
- **Pink** (`#ff64c8`): Decorative accent, feature highlights.
- **Purple** (`#391c57`): Premium features, deep accents.
- **Brown** (`#523410`): Earthy accent, warm feature sections.
### Interactive
- **Link Blue** (`#0075de`): Primary link color with underline-on-hover.
- **Link Light Blue** (`#62aef0`): Lighter link variant for dark backgrounds.
- **Focus Blue** (`#097fe8`): Focus ring on interactive elements.
- **Badge Blue Bg** (`#f2f9ff`): Pill badge background, tinted blue surface.
- **Badge Blue Text** (`#097fe8`): Pill badge text, darker blue for readability.
### Shadows & Depth
- **Card Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 4px 18px, rgba(0,0,0,0.027) 0px 2.025px 7.84688px, rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 0.8px 2.925px, rgba(0,0,0,0.01) 0px 0.175px 1.04062px`): Multi-layer card elevation.
- **Deep Shadow** (`rgba(0,0,0,0.01) 0px 1px 3px, rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 3px 7px, rgba(0,0,0,0.02) 0px 7px 15px, rgba(0,0,0,0.04) 0px 14px 28px, rgba(0,0,0,0.05) 0px 23px 52px`): Five-layer deep elevation for modals and featured content.
- **Whisper Border** (`1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1)`): Standard division border -- cards, dividers, sections.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `NotionInter`, with fallbacks: `Inter, -apple-system, system-ui, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Apple Color Emoji, Arial, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol`
- **OpenType Features**: `"lnum"` (lining numerals) and `"locl"` (localized forms) enabled on display and heading text.
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | NotionInter | 64px (4.00rem) | 700 | 1.00 (tight) | -2.125px | Maximum compression, billboard headlines |
| Display Secondary | NotionInter | 54px (3.38rem) | 700 | 1.04 (tight) | -1.875px | Secondary hero, feature headlines |
| Section Heading | NotionInter | 48px (3.00rem) | 700 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.5px | Feature section titles, with `"lnum"` |
| Sub-heading Large | NotionInter | 40px (2.50rem) | 700 | 1.50 | normal | Card headings, feature sub-sections |
| Sub-heading | NotionInter | 26px (1.63rem) | 700 | 1.23 (tight) | -0.625px | Section sub-titles, content headers |
| Card Title | NotionInter | 22px (1.38rem) | 700 | 1.27 (tight) | -0.25px | Feature cards, list titles |
| Body Large | NotionInter | 20px (1.25rem) | 600 | 1.40 | -0.125px | Introductions, feature descriptions |
| Body | NotionInter | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Standard reading text |
| Body Medium | NotionInter | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.50 | normal | Navigation, emphasized UI text |
| Body Semibold | NotionInter | 16px (1.00rem) | 600 | 1.50 | normal | Strong labels, active states |
| Body Bold | NotionInter | 16px (1.00rem) | 700 | 1.50 | normal | Headlines at body size |
| Nav / Button | NotionInter | 15px (0.94rem) | 600 | 1.33 | normal | Navigation links, button text |
| Caption | NotionInter | 14px (0.88rem) | 500 | 1.43 | normal | Metadata, secondary labels |
| Caption Light | NotionInter | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Body captions, descriptions |
| Badge | NotionInter | 12px (0.75rem) | 600 | 1.33 | 0.125px | Pill badges, tags, status labels |
| Micro Label | NotionInter | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.33 | 0.125px | Small metadata, timestamps |
### Principles
- **Compression at scale**: NotionInter at display sizes uses -2.125px letter-spacing at 64px, progressively relaxing to -0.625px at 26px and normal at 16px. The compression creates density at headlines while maintaining readability at body sizes.
- **Four-weight system**: 400 (body/reading), 500 (UI/interactive), 600 (emphasis/navigation), 700 (headings/display). The broader weight range compared to most systems allows nuanced hierarchy.
- **Warm scaling**: Line height tightens as size increases -- 1.50 at body (16px), 1.23-1.27 at sub-headings, 1.00-1.04 at display. This creates denser, more impactful headlines.
- **Badge micro-tracking**: The 12px badge text uses positive letter-spacing (0.125px) -- the only positive tracking in the system, creating wider, more legible small text.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 11px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 24px, 32px
- Non-rigid organic scale with fractional values (5.6px, 6.4px) for micro-adjustments
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 1200px
- Hero: centered single-column with generous top padding (80-120px)
- Feature sections: 2-3 column grids for cards
- Full-width warm white (`#f6f5f4`) section backgrounds for alternation
- Code/dashboard screenshots as contained with whisper border
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Generous vertical rhythm**: 64-120px between major sections. Notion lets content breathe with vast vertical padding.
- **Warm alternation**: White sections alternate with warm white (`#f6f5f4`) sections, creating gentle visual rhythm without harsh color breaks.
- **Content-first density**: Body text blocks are compact (line-height 1.50) but surrounded by ample margin, creating islands of readable content in a sea of white space.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (4px): Buttons, inputs, functional interactive elements
- Subtle (5px): Links, list items, menu items
- Standard (8px): Small cards, containers, inline elements
- Comfortable (12px): Standard cards, feature containers, image tops
- Large (16px): Hero cards, featured content, promotional blocks
- Full Pill (9999px): Badges, pills, status indicators
- Circle (100%): Tab indicators, avatars
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Page background, text blocks |
| Whisper (Level 1) | `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1)` | Standard borders, card outlines, dividers |
| Soft Card (Level 2) | 4-layer shadow stack (max opacity 0.04) | Content cards, feature blocks |
| Deep Card (Level 3) | 5-layer shadow stack (max opacity 0.05, 52px blur) | Modals, featured panels, hero elements |
| Focus (Accessibility) | `2px solid var(--focus-color)` outline | Keyboard focus on all interactive elements |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Notion's shadow system uses multiple layers with extremely low individual opacity (0.01 to 0.05) that accumulate into soft, natural-looking elevation. The 4-layer card shadow spans from 1.04px to 18px blur, creating a gradient of depth rather than a single hard shadow. The 5-layer deep shadow extends to 52px blur at 0.05 opacity, producing ambient occlusion that feels like natural light rather than computer-generated depth. This layered approach makes elements feel embedded in the page rather than floating above it.
### Decorative Depth
- Hero section: decorative character illustrations (playful, hand-drawn style)
- Section alternation: white to warm white (`#f6f5f4`) background shifts
- No hard section borders -- separation comes from background color changes and spacing
## 7. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <400px | Tight single column, minimal padding |
| Mobile | 400-600px | Standard mobile, stacked layout |
| Tablet Small | 600-768px | 2-column grids begin |
| Tablet | 768-1080px | Full card grids, expanded padding |
| Desktop Small | 1080-1200px | Standard desktop layout |
| Desktop | 1200-1440px | Full layout, maximum content width |
| Large Desktop | >1440px | Centered, generous margins |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use comfortable padding (8px-16px vertical)
- Navigation links at 15px with adequate spacing
- Pill badges have 8px horizontal padding for tap targets
- Mobile menu toggle uses standard hamburger button
### Collapsing Strategy

- Navigation: horizontal links + blue CTA -> hamburger menu
- Feature cards: 3-column -> 2-column -> single column stacked
- Product screenshots: maintain aspect ratio with responsive images
- Trust bar logos: grid -> horizontal scroll on mobile
- Footer: multi-column -> stacked single column
- Section spacing: 80px+ -> 48px on mobile
### Image Behavior
- Workspace screenshots maintain whisper border at all sizes
- Hero illustrations scale proportionally
- Product screenshots use responsive images with consistent border radius
- Full-width warm white sections maintain edge-to-edge treatment
## 8. Accessibility & States

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on white background. Headline at 64px NotionInter weight 700, line-height 1.00, letter-spacing -2.125px, color rgba(0,0,0,0.95). Subtitle at 20px weight 600, line-height 1.40, color #615d59.

- "Design an alternating section layout: white sections alternate with warm white (#f6f5f4) sections. Each section has 64-80px vertical padding, max-width 1200px centered. Section heading at 48px weight 700, line-height 1.00, letter-spacing -1.5px."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always use warm neutrals -- Notion's grays have yellow-brown undertones (#f6f5f4, #31302e, #615d59, #a39e98), never blue-gray
2. Letter-spacing scales with font size: -2.125px at 64px, -1.875px at 54px, -0.625px at 26px, normal at 16px
3. Four weights: 400 (read), 500 (interact), 600 (emphasize), 700 (announce)
4. Borders are whispers: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.1) -- never heavier
5. Shadows use 4-5 layers with individual opacity never exceeding 0.05
6. The warm white (#f6f5f4) section background is essential for visual rhythm
7. Pill badges (9999px) for status/tags, 4px radius for buttons and inputs
8. Notion Blue (#0075de) is the only saturated color in core UI -- use it sparingly for CTAs and links

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
NVIDIA's website is a high-contrast, technology-forward experience that communicates raw computational power through design restraint. The page is built on a stark black (`#000000`) and white (`#ffffff`) foundation, punctuated by NVIDIA's signature green (`#76b900`) -- a color so specific it functions as a brand fingerprint. This is not the lush green of nature; it's the electric, lime-shifted green of GPU-rendered light, a color that sits between chartreuse and kelly green and immediately signals "NVIDIA" to anyone in technology.
The custom NVIDIA-EMEA font family (with Arial and Helvetica fallbacks) creates a clean, industrial typographic voice. Headings at 36px bold with tight 1.25 line-height create dense, authoritative blocks of text. The font lacks the geometric playfulness of Silicon Valley sans-serifs -- it's European, pragmatic, and engineering-focused. Body text runs at 15-16px, comfortable for reading but not generous, maintaining the sense that screen real estate is optimized like GPU memory.
What distinguishes NVIDIA's design from other dark-background tech sites is the disciplined use of the green accent. The `#76b900` appears in borders (`2px solid #76b900`), link underlines (`underline 2px rgb(118, 185, 0)`), and CTAs -- but never as backgrounds or large surface areas on the main content. The green is a signal, not a surface. Combined with a deep shadow system (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) 0px 0px 5px`) and minimal border radius (1-2px), the overall effect is of precision engineering hardware rendered in pixels.
**Key Characteristics:**
- NVIDIA Green (`#76b900`) as pure accent -- borders, underlines, and interactive highlights only
- Black (`#000000`) dominant background with white (`#ffffff`) text on dark sections
- NVIDIA-EMEA custom font with Arial/Helvetica fallback -- industrial, European, clean
- Tight line-heights (1.25 for headings) creating dense, authoritative text blocks
- Minimal border radius (1-2px) -- sharp, engineered corners throughout
- Green-bordered buttons (`2px solid #76b900`) as primary interactive pattern
- Font Awesome 6 Pro/Sharp icon system at weight 900 for sharp iconography
- Multi-framework architecture (PrimeReact, Fluent UI, Element Plus) enabling rich interactive components

| Micro | NVIDIA-EMEA | 11px (0.69rem) | 700 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Smallest UI text |
### Principles
- **Bold as the default voice**: NVIDIA leans heavily on weight 700 for headings, buttons, links, and labels. The 400 weight is reserved for body text and descriptions -- everything else is bold, projecting confidence and authority.
- **Tight headings, relaxed body**: Heading line-height is consistently 1.25 (tight), while body text relaxes to 1.50-1.67. This contrast creates visual density at the top of content blocks and comfortable readability in paragraphs.
- **Uppercase for navigation**: Link labels use `text-transform: uppercase` with weight 700, creating a navigation voice that reads like hardware specification labels.
- **No decorative tracking**: Letter-spacing is normal throughout, except for compact buttons (0.144px). The font itself carries the industrial character without manipulation.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 15px
- Primary padding values: 8px, 11px, 13px, 16px, 24px, 32px
- Section spacing: 48-80px vertical padding
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 1200px (contained)
- Full-width hero sections with contained text
- Feature sections: 2-3 column grids for product cards
- Single-column for article/blog content
- Sidebar layouts for documentation
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Purposeful density**: NVIDIA uses tighter spacing than typical SaaS sites, reflecting the density of technical content. White space exists to separate concepts, not to create luxury emptiness.
- **Section rhythm**: Dark sections alternate with white sections, using background color (not just spacing) to separate content blocks.
- **Card density**: Product cards sit close together with 16-20px gaps, creating a catalog feel rather than a gallery feel.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (1px): Inline spans, tiny elements
- Standard (2px): Buttons, cards, containers, inputs -- the default for nearly everything
- Circle (50%): Avatar images, circular tab indicators
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page backgrounds, inline text |
| Subtle (Level 1) | `rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 0px 0px 5px 0px` | Standard cards, modals |
| Border (Level 1b) | `1px solid #5e5e5e` | Content dividers, section borders |
| Green accent (Level 2) | `2px solid #76b900` | Active elements, CTAs, selected items |
| Focus (Accessibility) | `2px solid #000000` outline | Keyboard focus ring |
**Shadow Philosophy**: NVIDIA's depth system is minimal and utilitarian. There is essentially one shadow value -- a 5px ambient blur at 30% opacity -- used sparingly for cards and modals. The primary depth signal is not shadow but _color contrast_: black backgrounds next to white sections, green borders on black surfaces. This creates hardware-like visual layering where depth comes from material difference, not simulated light.
### Decorative Depth
- Green gradient washes behind hero content
- Dark-to-darker gradients (black to near-black) for section transitions
- No glassmorphism or blur effects -- clarity over atmosphere
## 7. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <375px | Compact single column, reduced padding |
| Mobile | 375-425px | Standard mobile layout |
| Mobile Large | 425-600px | Wider mobile, some 2-col hints |
| Tablet Small | 600-768px | 2-column grids begin |
| Tablet | 768-1024px | Full card grids, expanded nav |
| Desktop | 1024-1350px | Standard desktop layout |
| Large Desktop | >1350px | Maximum content width, generous margins |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons use 11px 13px padding for comfortable tap targets
- Navigation links at 14px uppercase with adequate spacing
- Green-bordered buttons provide high-contrast touch targets on dark backgrounds
- Mobile: hamburger menu collapse with full-screen overlay
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: 36px heading scales down proportionally
- Navigation: full horizontal nav collapses to hamburger menu at ~1024px
- Product cards: 3-column to 2-column to single column stacked
- Footer: multi-column grid collapses to single stacked column
- Section spacing: 64-80px reduces to 32-48px on mobile
- Images: maintain aspect ratio, scale to container width
### Image Behavior
- GPU/product renders maintain high resolution at all sizes
- Hero images scale proportionally with viewport
- Card images use consistent aspect ratios
- Full-bleed dark sections maintain edge-to-edge treatment
## 8. Responsive Behavior (Extended)
### Typography Scaling
- Display 36px scales to ~24px on mobile
- Section headings 24px scale to ~20px on mobile
- Body text maintains 15-16px across all breakpoints
- Button text maintains 16px for consistent tap targets
### Dark/Light Section Strategy
- Dark sections (black bg, white text) alternate with light sections (white bg, black text)
- The green accent remains consistent across both surface types
- On dark: links are white, underlines are green
- On light: links are black, underlines are green
- This alternation creates natural scroll rhythm and content grouping
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary accent: NVIDIA Green (`#76b900`)
- Background dark: True Black (`#000000`)
- Background light: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Heading text (dark bg): White (`#ffffff`)
- Heading text (light bg): Black (`#000000`)
- Body text (light bg): Black (`#000000`) or Near Black (`#1a1a1a`)

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on black background. Headline at 36px NVIDIA-EMEA weight 700, line-height 1.25, color #ffffff. Subtitle at 18px weight 400, line-height 1.67, color #a7a7a7. CTA button with transparent background, 2px solid #76b900 border, 2px radius, 11px 13px padding, text #ffffff. Hover: background #1eaedb, text white."
- "Design a product card: white background, 2px border-radius, box-shadow rgba(0,0,0,0.3) 0px 0px 5px. Title at 20px NVIDIA-EMEA weight 700, line-height 1.25, color #000000. Body at 15px weight 400, line-height 1.67, color #757575. Green underline accent on title: border-bottom 2px solid #76b900."
- "Build a navigation bar: #000000 background, sticky top. NVIDIA logo left-aligned. Links at 14px NVIDIA-EMEA weight 700 uppercase, color #ffffff. Hover: color #3860be. Green-bordered CTA button right-aligned."
- "Create a dark feature section: #000000 background. Section label at 14px weight 700 uppercase, color #76b900. Heading at 24px weight 700, color #ffffff. Description at 16px weight 400, color #a7a7a7. Three product cards in a row with 20px gap."
- "Design a footer: #000000 background. Multi-column layout with link groups. Links at 14px weight 400, color #a7a7a7. Hover: color #76b900. Bottom bar with legal text at 12px, color #757575."
### Iteration Guide
1. Always use `#76b900` as accent, never as a background fill -- it's a signal color for borders, underlines, and highlights
2. Buttons are transparent with green borders by default -- filled backgrounds appear only on hover/active states
3. Weight 700 is the dominant voice for all interactive and heading elements; 400 is only for body paragraphs
4. Border radius is 2px for everything -- this sharp, minimal rounding is core to the industrial aesthetic
5. Dark sections use white text; light sections use black text -- green accent works identically on both
6. Link hover is always `#3860be` (blue) regardless of the link's default color
7. Line-height 1.25 for headings, 1.50-1.67 for body text -- maintain this contrast for visual hierarchy
8. Navigation uses uppercase 14px bold -- this hardware-label typography is part of the brand voice

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Ollama's interface is radical minimalism taken to its logical conclusion — a pure-white void where content floats without decoration, shadow, or color. The design philosophy mirrors the product itself: strip away everything unnecessary until only the essential tool remains. This is the digital equivalent of a Dieter Rams object — every pixel earns its place, and the absence of design IS the design.
The entire page exists in pure grayscale. There is zero chromatic color in the interface — no brand blue, no accent green, no semantic red. The only colors that exist are shades between pure black (`#000000`) and pure white (`#ffffff`), creating a monochrome environment that lets the user's mental model of "open models" remain uncolored by brand opinion. The Ollama llama mascot, rendered in simple black line art, is the only illustration — and even it's monochrome.
What makes Ollama distinctive is the combination of SF Pro Rounded (Apple's rounded system font) with an exclusively pill-shaped geometry (9999px radius on everything interactive). The rounded letterforms + rounded buttons + rounded containers create a cohesive "softness language" that makes a developer CLI tool feel approachable and friendly rather than intimidating. This is minimalism with warmth — not cold Swiss-style grid minimalism, but the kind where the edges are literally softened.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Pure white canvas with zero chromatic color — completely grayscale
- SF Pro Rounded headlines creating a distinctively Apple-like softness
- Binary border-radius system: 12px (containers) or 9999px (everything interactive)
- Zero shadows — depth comes exclusively from background color shifts and borders
- Pill-shaped geometry on all interactive elements (buttons, tabs, inputs, tags)
- The Ollama llama as the sole illustration — black line art, no color
- Extreme content restraint — the homepage is short, focused, and uncluttered
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Primary headlines, primary links, and the darkest text. The only "color" that demands attention.
- **Near Black** (`#262626`): Button text on light surfaces, secondary headline weight.
- **Darkest Surface** (`#090909`): The darkest possible surface — barely distinguishable from pure black, used for footer or dark containers.
### Surface & Background
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): The primary page background — not off-white, not cream, pure white. Button surfaces for secondary actions.
- **Snow** (`#fafafa`): The subtlest possible surface distinction from white — used for section backgrounds and barely-elevated containers.
- **Light Gray** (`#e5e5e5`): Button backgrounds, borders, and the primary containment color. The workhorse neutral.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Stone** (`#737373`): Secondary body text, footer links, and de-emphasized content. The primary "muted" tone.
- **Mid Gray** (`#525252`): Emphasized secondary text, slightly darker than Stone.
- **Silver** (`#a3a3a3`): Tertiary text, placeholders, and deeply de-emphasized metadata.
- **Button Text Dark** (`#404040`): Specific to white-surface button text.
### Semantic & Accent
- **Ring Blue** (`#3b82f6` at 50%): The ONLY non-gray color in the entire system — Tailwind's default focus ring, used exclusively for keyboard accessibility. Never visible in normal interaction flow.
- **Border Light** (`#d4d4d4`): A slightly darker gray for white-surface button borders.
### Gradient System
- **None.** Ollama uses absolutely no gradients. Visual separation comes from flat color blocks and single-pixel borders. This is a deliberate, almost philosophical design choice.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Display**: `SF Pro Rounded`, with fallbacks: `system-ui, -apple-system, system-ui`
- **Body / UI**: `ui-sans-serif`, with fallbacks: `system-ui, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Color Emoji`
- **Monospace**: `ui-monospace`, with fallbacks: `SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, Liberation Mono, Courier New`
*Note: SF Pro Rounded is Apple's system font — it renders with rounded terminals on macOS/iOS and falls back to the system sans-serif on other platforms.*
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | SF Pro Rounded | 48px (3rem) | 500 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Maximum impact, rounded letterforms |
| Section Heading | SF Pro Rounded | 36px (2.25rem) | 500 | 1.11 (tight) | normal | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | SF Pro Rounded / ui-sans-serif | 30px (1.88rem) | 400500 | 1.20 (tight) | normal | Card headings, feature names |
| Card Title | ui-sans-serif | 24px (1.5rem) | 400 | 1.33 | normal | Medium emphasis headings |
| Body Large | ui-sans-serif | 18px (1.13rem) | 400500 | 1.56 | normal | Hero descriptions, button text |
| Body / Link | ui-sans-serif | 16px (1rem) | 400500 | 1.50 | normal | Standard body text, navigation |
| Caption | ui-sans-serif | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Metadata, descriptions |
| Small | ui-sans-serif | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.33 | normal | Smallest sans-serif text |
| Code Body | ui-monospace | 16px (1rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Inline code, commands |
| Code Caption | ui-monospace | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Code snippets, secondary |
| Code Small | ui-monospace | 12px (0.75rem) | 400700 | 1.63 | normal | Tags, labels |
### Principles
- **Rounded display, standard body**: SF Pro Rounded carries display headlines with its distinctive rounded terminals, while the standard system sans handles all body text. The rounded font IS the brand expression.
- **Weight restraint**: Only two weights matter — 400 (regular) for body and 500 (medium) for headings. No bold, no light, no black weight. This extreme restraint reinforces the minimal philosophy.
- **Tight display, comfortable body**: Headlines compress to 1.0 line-height, while body text relaxes to 1.431.56. The contrast creates clear hierarchy without needing weight contrast.
- **Monospace for developer identity**: Code blocks and terminal commands appear throughout as primary content, using the system monospace stack.

- Light Gray background, dark text
- The primary way to browse models
**Terminal Command Block**
- Monospace code showing `ollama run` commands
- Minimal styling — just a bordered 12px-radius container
- Copy button integrated
**Integration Grid**
- Grid of integration logos (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, LangChain, etc.)
- Each in a bordered pill or card with icon + name
- Tabbed by category (Coding, Documents & RAG, Automation, Chat)
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 4px, 6px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px, 48px, 88px, 112px
- Button padding: 10px 24px (consistent across all buttons)
- Card internal padding: approximately 2432px
- Section vertical spacing: very generous (88px112px)
### Grid & Container
- Max container width: approximately 10241280px, centered
- Hero: centered single-column with llama illustration
- Feature sections: 2-column layout (text left, code right)
- Integration grid: responsive multi-column
- Footer: clean single-row
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Emptiness as luxury**: The page is remarkably short and sparse — no feature section overstays its welcome. Each concept gets minimal but sufficient space.
- **Content density is low by design**: Where other AI companies pack feature after feature, Ollama presents three ideas (run models, use with apps, integrations) and stops.
- **The white space IS the brand**: Pure white space with zero decoration communicates "this tool gets out of your way."
### Border Radius Scale
- Comfortably rounded (12px): The sole container radius — code blocks, cards, panels
- Pill-shaped (9999px): Everything interactive — buttons, tabs, inputs, tags, badges
*This binary system is extreme and distinctive. There is no 4px, no 8px, no gradient of roundness. Elements are either containers (12px) or interactive (pill).*
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Page background, most content |
| Bordered (Level 1) | `1px solid #e5e5e5` | Cards, code blocks, buttons |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Ollama uses **zero shadows**. This is not an oversight — it's a deliberate design decision. Every other major AI product site uses at least subtle shadows. Ollama's flat, shadowless approach creates a paper-like experience where elements are distinguished purely by background color and single-pixel borders. Depth is communicated through **content hierarchy and typography weight**, not visual layering.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use pure white (`#ffffff`) as the page background — never off-white or cream
- Use pill-shaped (9999px) radius on all interactive elements — buttons, tabs, inputs, tags
- Use 12px radius on all non-interactive containers — code blocks, cards, panels
- Keep the palette strictly grayscale — no chromatic colors except the blue focus ring
- Use SF Pro Rounded at weight 500 for display headings — the rounded terminals are the brand expression
- Maintain zero shadows — depth comes from borders and background shifts only
- Keep content density low — each section should present one clear idea
- Use monospace for terminal commands and code — it's primary content, not decoration
- Keep all buttons at 10px 24px padding with pill shape — consistency is absolute
### Don't
- Don't introduce any chromatic color — no brand blue, no accent green, no warm tones
- Don't use border-radius between 12px and 9999px — the system is binary
- Don't add shadows to any element — the flat aesthetic is intentional
- Don't use font weights above 500 — no bold, no black weight
- Don't add decorative illustrations beyond the llama mascot
- Don't use gradients anywhere — flat blocks and borders only
- Don't overcomplicate the layout — two columns maximum, no complex grids
- Don't use borders heavier than 1px — containment is always the lightest possible touch
- Don't add hover animations or transitions — interactions should feel instant and direct
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <640px | Single column, stacked everything, hamburger nav |
| Small Tablet | 640768px | Minor adjustments to spacing |
| Tablet | 768850px | 2-column layouts begin |
| Desktop | 8501024px | Standard layout, expanded features |
| Large Desktop | 10241280px | Maximum content width |
### Touch Targets
- All buttons are pill-shaped with generous padding (10px 24px)
- Navigation links at comfortable 16px size
- Minimum touch area easily exceeds 44x44px
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Collapses to hamburger menu on mobile
- **Feature sections**: 2-column → stacked single column
- **Hero text**: 48px → 36px → 30px progressive scaling
- **Integration grid**: Multi-column → 2-column → single column
- **Code blocks**: Horizontal scroll maintained
### Image Behavior
- Llama mascot scales proportionally
- Code blocks maintain monospace formatting
- Integration icons reflow to fewer columns
- No art direction changes
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary Text: "Pure Black (#000000)"
- Page Background: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Secondary Text: "Stone (#737373)"
- Button Background: "Light Gray (#e5e5e5)"
- Borders: "Light Gray (#e5e5e5)"
- Muted Text: "Silver (#a3a3a3)"
- Dark Text: "Near Black (#262626)"
- Subtle Surface: "Snow (#fafafa)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on pure white (#ffffff) with an illustration centered above a headline at 48px SF Pro Rounded weight 500, line-height 1.0. Use Pure Black (#000000) text. Below, add a black pill-shaped CTA button (9999px radius, 10px 24px padding) and a gray pill button."
- "Design a code block with a 12px border-radius, 1px solid Light Gray (#e5e5e5) border on white background. Use ui-monospace at 16px for the terminal command. No shadow."
- "Build a tab bar with pill-shaped tabs (9999px radius). Active tab: Light Gray (#e5e5e5) background, Near Black (#262626) text. Inactive: transparent background, Stone (#737373) text."
- "Create an integration card grid. Each card is a bordered pill (9999px radius) or a 12px-radius card with 1px solid #e5e5e5 border. Icon + name inside. Grid of 4 columns on desktop."
- "Design a navigation bar: transparent background, no border. Ollama logo on the left, 3 text links (Pure Black, 16px, weight 400), pill search input in the center, 'Sign in' text link and black pill 'Download' button on the right."
### Iteration Guide
1. Focus on ONE component at a time
2. Keep all values grayscale — "Stone (#737373)" not "use a light color"
3. Always specify pill (9999px) or container (12px) radius — nothing in between
4. Shadows are always zero — never add them
5. Weight is always 400 or 500 — never bold
6. If something feels too decorated, remove it — less is always more for Ollama

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
OpenCode's website embodies a terminal-native, monospace-first aesthetic that reflects its identity as an open source AI coding agent. The entire visual system is built on a stark dark-on-light contrast using a near-black background (`#201d1d`) with warm off-white text (`#fdfcfc`). This isn't a generic dark theme -- it's a warm, slightly reddish-brown dark that feels like a sophisticated terminal emulator rather than a cold IDE. The warm undertone in both the darks and lights (notice the subtle red channel in `#201d1d` -- rgb(32, 29, 29)) creates a cohesive, lived-in quality.
Berkeley Mono is the sole typeface, establishing an unapologetic monospace identity. Every element -- headings, body text, buttons, navigation -- shares this single font family, creating a unified "everything is code" philosophy. The heading at 38px bold with 1.50 line-height is generous and readable, while body text at 16px with weight 500 provides a slightly heavier-than-normal reading weight that enhances legibility on screen. The monospace grid naturally enforces alignment and rhythm across the layout.
The color system is deliberately minimal. The primary palette consists of just three functional tones: the warm near-black (`#201d1d`), a medium warm gray (`#9a9898`), and a bright off-white (`#fdfcfc`). Semantic colors borrow from the Apple HIG palette -- blue accent (`#007aff`), red danger (`#ff3b30`), green success (`#30d158`), orange warning (`#ff9f0a`) -- giving the interface familiar, trustworthy signal colors without adding brand complexity. Borders use a subtle warm transparency (`rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)`) that ties into the warm undertone of the entire system.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Berkeley Mono as the sole typeface -- monospace everywhere, no sans-serif or serif voices
- Warm near-black primary (`#201d1d`) with reddish-brown undertone, not pure black
- Off-white text (`#fdfcfc`) with warm tint, not pure white
- Minimal 4px border radius throughout -- sharp, utilitarian corners
- 8px base spacing system scaling up to 96px
- Apple HIG-inspired semantic colors (blue, red, green, orange)
- Transparent warm borders using `rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)`
- Email input with generous 20px padding and 6px radius -- the most generous component radius
- Single button variant: dark background, light text, tight vertical padding (4px 20px)
- Underlined links as default link style, reinforcing the text-centric identity
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **OpenCode Dark** (`#201d1d`): Primary background, button fills, link text. A warm near-black with subtle reddish-brown warmth -- rgb(32, 29, 29).
- **OpenCode Light** (`#fdfcfc`): Primary text on dark surfaces, button text. A barely-warm off-white that avoids clinical pure white.
- **Mid Gray** (`#9a9898`): Secondary text, muted links. A neutral warm gray that bridges dark and light.
### Secondary
- **Dark Surface** (`#302c2c`): Slightly lighter than primary dark, used for elevated surfaces and subtle differentiation.
- **Border Gray** (`#646262`): Stronger borders, outline rings on interactive elements.
- **Light Surface** (`#f1eeee`): Light mode surface, subtle background variation.
### Accent
- **Accent Blue** (`#007aff`): Primary accent, links, interactive highlights. Apple system blue.
- **Accent Blue Hover** (`#0056b3`): Darker blue for hover states.
- **Accent Blue Active** (`#004085`): Deepest blue for pressed/active states.
### Semantic
- **Danger Red** (`#ff3b30`): Error states, destructive actions. Apple system red.
- **Danger Hover** (`#d70015`): Darker red for hover on danger elements.
- **Danger Active** (`#a50011`): Deepest red for pressed danger states.
- **Success Green** (`#30d158`): Success states, positive feedback. Apple system green.
- **Warning Orange** (`#ff9f0a`): Warning states, caution signals. Apple system orange.
- **Warning Hover** (`#cc7f08`): Darker orange for hover on warning elements.
- **Warning Active** (`#995f06`): Deepest orange for pressed warning states.
### Text Scale
- **Text Muted** (`#6e6e73`): Muted labels, disabled text, placeholder content.
- **Text Secondary** (`#424245`): Secondary text on light backgrounds, captions.
### Border
- **Border Warm** (`rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)`): Primary border color, warm transparent black with red tint.
- **Border Tab** (`#9a9898`): Tab underline border, 2px solid bottom.
- **Border Outline** (`#646262`): 1px solid outline border for containers.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Universal**: `Berkeley Mono`, with fallbacks: `IBM Plex Mono, ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, Liberation Mono, Courier New, monospace`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Size | Weight | Line Height | Notes |
|------|------|--------|-------------|-------|
| Heading 1 | 38px (2.38rem) | 700 | 1.50 | Hero headlines, page titles |
| Heading 2 | 16px (1.00rem) | 700 | 1.50 | Section titles, bold emphasis |
| Body | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | Standard body text, paragraphs |
| Body Medium | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.50 | Links, button text, nav items |
| Body Tight | 16px (1.00rem) | 500 | 1.00 (tight) | Compact labels, tab items |
| Caption | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 2.00 (relaxed) | Footnotes, metadata, small labels |
### Principles
- **One font, one voice**: Berkeley Mono is used exclusively. There is no typographic variation between display, body, and code -- everything speaks in the same monospace register. Hierarchy is achieved through size and weight alone.
- **Weight as hierarchy**: 700 for headings, 500 for interactive/medium emphasis, 400 for body text. Three weight levels create the entire hierarchy.
- **Generous line-height**: 1.50 as the standard line-height gives text room to breathe within the monospace grid. The relaxed 2.00 line-height on captions creates clear visual separation.
- **Tight for interaction**: Interactive elements (tabs, compact labels) use 1.00 line-height for dense, clickable targets.

- Minimal borders, content speaks for itself
### Distinctive Components
**Terminal Hero**
- Full-width dark terminal window as hero element
- ASCII art / stylized logo within terminal frame
- Monospace command examples with syntax highlighting
- Reinforces the CLI-first identity of the product

**Email Capture**
- Light background input (`#f8f7f7`) contrasting dark page
- Generous 20px padding for comfortable typing
- 6px radius -- the roundest element in the system
- Newsletter/waitlist pattern
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Fine scale: 1px, 2px, 4px (sub-8px for borders and micro-adjustments)
- Standard scale: 8px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px
- Extended scale: 32px, 40px, 48px, 64px, 80px, 96px
- The system follows a clean 4/8px grid with consistent doubling
### Grid & Container
- Max content width: approximately 800-900px (narrow, reading-optimized)
- Single-column layout as the primary pattern
- Centered content with generous horizontal margins
- Hero section: full-width dark terminal element
- Feature sections: single-column text blocks
- Footer: multi-column link grid
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Monospace rhythm**: The fixed-width nature of Berkeley Mono creates a natural vertical grid. Line-heights of 1.50 and 2.00 maintain consistent rhythm.
- **Narrow and focused**: Content is constrained to a narrow column, creating generous side margins that focus attention on the text.
- **Sections through spacing**: No decorative dividers. Sections are separated by generous vertical spacing (48-96px) rather than borders or background changes.
### Border Radius Scale
- Micro (4px): Default for all elements -- buttons, containers, badges
- Input (6px): Form inputs get slightly more roundness
- The entire system uses just two radius values, reinforcing the utilitarian aesthetic
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Default state for most elements |
| Border Subtle (Level 1) | `1px solid rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)` | Section dividers, input borders, horizontal rules |
| Border Tab (Level 2) | `2px solid #9a9898` bottom only | Active tab indicator |
| Border Outline (Level 3) | `1px solid #646262` | Container outlines, elevated elements |
**Shadow Philosophy**: OpenCode's depth system is intentionally flat. There are no box-shadows in the extracted tokens -- zero shadow values were detected. Depth is communicated exclusively through border treatments and background color shifts. This flatness is consistent with the terminal aesthetic: terminals don't have shadows, and neither does OpenCode. The three border levels (transparent warm, tab indicator, solid outline) create sufficient visual hierarchy without any elevation illusion.
### Decorative Depth
- Background color shifts between `#201d1d` and `#302c2c` create subtle surface differentiation
- Transparent borders at 12% opacity provide barely-visible structure
- The warm reddish tint in border colors (`rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)`) ties borders to the overall warm dark palette
- No gradients, no blurs, no ambient effects -- pure flat terminal aesthetic
## 7. Interaction & Motion
### Hover States
- Links: color shift from default to accent blue (`#007aff`) or underline style change
- Buttons: subtle background lightening or border emphasis
- Accent blue provides a three-stage hover sequence: `#007aff``#0056b3``#004085` (default → hover → active)
- Danger red: `#ff3b30``#d70015``#a50011`
- Warning orange: `#ff9f0a``#cc7f08``#995f06`
### Focus States
- Border-based focus: increased border opacity or solid border color
- No shadow-based focus rings -- consistent with the flat, no-shadow aesthetic
- Keyboard focus likely uses outline or border color shift to accent blue
### Transitions
- Minimal transitions expected -- terminal-inspired interfaces favor instant state changes
- Color transitions: 100-150ms for subtle state feedback
- No scale, rotate, or complex transform animations
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <640px | Single column, reduced padding, heading scales down |
| Tablet | 640-1024px | Content width expands, slight padding increase |
| Desktop | >1024px | Full content width (~800-900px centered), maximum whitespace |
### Touch Targets
- Buttons with 4px 20px padding provide adequate horizontal touch area
- Input fields with 20px padding ensure comfortable mobile typing
- Tab items at 16px with tight line-height may need mobile adaptation
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero heading: 38px → 28px → 24px on smaller screens
- Navigation: horizontal links → hamburger/drawer on mobile
- Feature lists: maintain single-column, reduce horizontal padding
- Terminal hero: maintain full-width, reduce internal padding
- Footer columns: multi-column → stacked single column
- Section spacing: 96px → 64px → 48px on mobile
### Image Behavior
- Terminal screenshots maintain aspect ratio and border treatment
- Full-width elements scale proportionally
- Monospace type maintains readability at all sizes due to fixed-width nature
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Page background: `#201d1d` (warm near-black)
- Primary text: `#fdfcfc` (warm off-white)
- Secondary text: `#9a9898` (warm gray)
- Muted text: `#6e6e73`
- Accent: `#007aff` (blue)
- Danger: `#ff3b30` (red)
- Success: `#30d158` (green)
- Warning: `#ff9f0a` (orange)
- Button bg: `#201d1d`, button text: `#fdfcfc`
- Border: `rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)` (warm transparent)
- Input bg: `#f8f7f7`, input border: `rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)`
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on `#201d1d` warm dark background. Headline at 38px Berkeley Mono weight 700, line-height 1.50, color `#fdfcfc`. Subtitle at 16px weight 400, color `#9a9898`. Primary CTA button (`#201d1d` bg with `1px solid #646262` border, 4px radius, 4px 20px padding, `#fdfcfc` text at weight 500)."
- "Design a feature list: single-column on `#201d1d` background. Feature name at 16px Berkeley Mono weight 700, color `#fdfcfc`. Description at 16px weight 400, color `#9a9898`. No cards, no borders -- pure text with 16px vertical gap between items."
- "Build an email capture form: `#f8f7f7` background input, `1px solid rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)` border, 6px radius, 20px padding. Adjacent dark button (`#201d1d` bg, `#fdfcfc` text, 4px radius, 4px 20px padding). Berkeley Mono throughout."
- "Create navigation: sticky `#201d1d` background. 16px Berkeley Mono weight 500 for links, `#fdfcfc` text. Brand name left-aligned in monospace. Links with underline decoration. No blur, no transparency -- solid dark surface."
- "Design a footer: `#201d1d` background, multi-column link grid. Links at 16px Berkeley Mono weight 400, color `#9a9898`. Section headers at weight 700. Border-top `1px solid rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)` separator."
### Iteration Guide
1. Berkeley Mono is the only font -- never introduce a second typeface. Size and weight create all hierarchy.
2. Keep surfaces flat: no shadows, no gradients, no blur effects. Use borders and background shifts only.
3. The warm undertone matters: use `#201d1d` not `#000000`, use `#fdfcfc` not `#ffffff`. The reddish warmth is subtle but essential.
4. Border radius is 4px everywhere except inputs (6px). Never use rounded pills or large radii.
5. Semantic colors follow Apple HIG: `#007aff` blue, `#ff3b30` red, `#30d158` green, `#ff9f0a` orange. Each has hover and active darkened variants.
6. Three-stage interaction: default → hover (darkened) → active (deeply darkened) for all semantic colors.
7. Borders use `rgba(15, 0, 0, 0.12)` -- a warm transparent dark, not neutral gray. This ties borders to the warm palette.
8. Spacing follows an 8px grid: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64, 80, 96px. Use 4px for fine adjustments only.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Pinterest's website is a warm, inspiration-driven canvas that treats visual discovery like a lifestyle magazine. The design operates on a soft, slightly warm white background with Pinterest Red (`#e60023`) as the singular, bold brand accent. Unlike the cool blues of most tech platforms, Pinterest's neutral scale has a distinctly warm undertone — grays lean toward olive/sand (`#91918c`, `#62625b`, `#e5e5e0`) rather than cool steel, creating a cozy, craft-like atmosphere that invites browsing.
The typography uses Pin Sans — a custom proprietary font with a broad fallback stack including Japanese fonts, reflecting Pinterest's global reach. At display scale (70px, weight 600), Pin Sans creates large, inviting headlines. At smaller sizes, the system is compact: buttons at 12px, captions at 1214px. The CSS variable naming system (`--comp-*`, `--sema-*`, `--base-*`) reveals a sophisticated three-tier design token architecture: component-level, semantic-level, and base-level tokens.
What distinguishes Pinterest is its generous border-radius system (12px40px, plus 50% for circles) and warm-tinted button backgrounds. The secondary button (`#e5e5e0`) has a distinctly warm, sand-like tone rather than cold gray. The primary red button uses 16px radius — rounded but not pill-shaped. Combined with warm badge backgrounds (`hsla(60,20%,98%,.5)` — a subtle yellow-warm wash) and photography-dominant layouts, the result is a design that feels handcrafted and personal, not corporate and sterile.

## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Pin Sans`, fallbacks: `-apple-system, system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Apple Color Emoji, Segoe UI Emoji, Segoe UI Symbol, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3, メイリオ, Meiryo, MS Pゴシック, Arial`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Pin Sans | 70px (4.38rem) | 600 | normal | normal | Maximum impact |
| Section Heading | Pin Sans | 28px (1.75rem) | 700 | normal | -1.2px | Negative tracking |
| Body | Pin Sans | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.40 | normal | Standard reading |
| Caption Bold | Pin Sans | 14px (0.88rem) | 700 | normal | normal | Strong metadata |
| Caption | Pin Sans | 12px (0.75rem) | 400500 | 1.50 | normal | Small text, tags |
| Button | Pin Sans | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | normal | normal | Button labels |
### Principles
- **Compact type scale**: The range is 12px70px with a dramatic jump — most functional text is 1216px, creating a dense, app-like information hierarchy.
- **Warm weight distribution**: 600700 for headings, 400500 for body. No ultra-light weights — the type always feels substantial.
- **Negative tracking on headings**: -1.2px on 28px headings creates cozy, intimate section titles.
- **Single font family**: Pin Sans handles everything — no secondary display or monospace font detected.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
**Primary Red**
- Background: `#e60023` (Pinterest Red)
- Text: `#000000` (black — unusual choice for contrast on red)
- Padding: 6px 14px
- Radius: 16px (generously rounded, not pill)
- Border: `2px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)` (transparent)
- Focus: semantic border + outline via CSS variables
**Secondary Sand**
- Background: `#e5e5e0` (warm sand gray)
- Text: `#000000`
- Padding: 6px 14px
- Radius: 16px
- Focus: same semantic border system
**Circular Action**
- Background: `#e0e0d9` (warm light)
- Text: `#211922` (plum black)
- Radius: 50% (circle)
- Use: Pin actions, navigation controls
**Ghost / Transparent**
- Background: transparent
- Text: `#000000`
- No border
- Use: Tertiary actions
### Cards & Containers
- Photography-first pin cards with generous radius (12px20px)
- No traditional box-shadow on most cards
- White or warm fog backgrounds
- 8px white thick border on some image containers
### Inputs
- Email input: white background, `1px solid #91918c` border, 16px radius, 11px 15px padding
- Focus: semantic border + outline system via CSS variables
### Navigation
- Clean header on white or warm background
- Pinterest logo + search bar centered
- Pin Sans 16px for nav links
- Pinterest Red accents for active states
### Image Treatment
- Pin-style masonry grid (signature Pinterest layout)
- Rounded corners: 12px20px on images
- Photography as primary content — every pin is an image
- Thick white borders (8px) on featured image containers
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 22px, 24px, 32px, 80px, 100px
- Large jumps: 32px → 80px → 100px for section spacing
### Grid & Container
- Masonry grid for pin content (signature layout)
- Centered content sections with generous max-width
- Full-width dark footer
- Search bar as primary navigation element
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Inspiration density**: The masonry grid packs pins tightly — the content density IS the value proposition. Whitespace exists between sections, not within the grid.
- **Breathing above, density below**: Hero/feature sections get generous padding; the pin grid is compact and immersive.
### Border Radius Scale
- Standard (12px): Small cards, links
- Button (16px): Buttons, inputs, medium cards
- Comfortable (20px): Feature cards
- Large (28px): Large containers
- Section (32px): Tab elements, large panels
- Hero (40px): Hero containers, large feature blocks
- Circle (50%): Action buttons, tab indicators
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Default — pins rely on content, not shadow |
| Subtle (Level 1) | Minimal shadow (from tokens) | Elevated overlays, dropdowns |
| Focus (Accessibility) | `--sema-color-border-focus-outer-default` ring | Focus states |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Pinterest uses minimal shadows. The masonry grid relies on content (photography) to create visual interest rather than elevation effects. Depth comes from the warmth of surface colors and the generous rounding of containers.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use warm neutrals (`#e5e5e0`, `#e0e0d9`, `#91918c`) — the warm olive/sand tone is the identity
- Apply Pinterest Red (`#e60023`) only for primary CTAs — it's bold and singular
- Use Pin Sans exclusively — one font for everything
- Apply generous border-radius: 16px for buttons/inputs, 20px+ for cards
- Keep the masonry grid dense — content density is the value
- Use warm badge backgrounds (`hsla(60,20%,98%,.5)`) for subtle warm washes
- Use `#211922` (plum black) for primary text — it's warmer than pure black
### Don't
- Don't use cool gray neutrals — always warm/olive-toned
- Don't use pure black (`#000000`) as primary text — use plum black (`#211922`)
- Don't use pill-shaped buttons — 16px radius is rounded but not pill
- Don't add heavy shadows — Pinterest is flat by design, depth from content
- Don't use small border-radius (<12px) on cards — the generous rounding is core
- Don't introduce additional brand colors — red + warm neutrals is the complete palette
- Don't use thin font weights — Pin Sans at 400 minimum

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
PostHog's website feels like a startup's internal wiki that escaped into the wild — warm, irreverent, and deliberately anti-corporate. The background isn't the expected crisp white or dark void of developer tools; it's a warm, sage-tinted cream (`#fdfdf8`) that gives every surface a handmade, paper-like quality. Colors lean into earthy olive greens and muted sage rather than the conventional blues and purples of the SaaS world. It's as if someone designed a developer analytics platform inside a cozy garden shed.
The personality is the star: hand-drawn hedgehog illustrations, quirky action figures, and playful imagery replace the stock photography and abstract gradients typical of B2B SaaS. IBM Plex Sans Variable serves as the typographic foundation — a font with genuine technical credibility (created by IBM, widely used in developer contexts) deployed here with bold weights (700, 800) on headings and generous line-heights on body text. The typography says "we're serious engineers" while everything around it says "but we don't take ourselves too seriously."
The interaction design carries the same spirit: hover states flash PostHog Orange (`#F54E00`) text — a hidden brand color that doesn't appear at rest but surprises on interaction. Dark near-black buttons (`#1e1f23`) use opacity reduction on hover rather than color shifts, and active states scale slightly. The border system uses sage-tinted grays (`#bfc1b7`) that harmonize with the olive text palette. Built on Tailwind CSS with Radix UI and shadcn/ui primitives, the technical foundation is modern and component-driven, but the visual output is stubbornly unique.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Warm sage/olive color palette instead of conventional blues — earthy and approachable
- IBM Plex Sans Variable font at bold weights (700/800) for headings with generous 1.50+ line-heights
- Hidden brand orange (`#F54E00`) that only appears on hover interactions — a delightful surprise
- Hand-drawn hedgehog illustrations and playful imagery — deliberately anti-corporate
- Sage-tinted borders (`#bfc1b7`) and backgrounds (`#eeefe9`) creating a unified warm-green system
- Dark near-black CTAs (`#1e1f23`) with opacity-based hover states
- Content-heavy editorial layout — the site reads like a magazine, not a typical landing page
- Tailwind CSS + Radix UI + shadcn/ui component architecture
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Olive Ink** (`#4d4f46`): Primary text color — a distinctive olive-gray that gives all text a warm, earthy tone
- **Deep Olive** (`#23251d`): Link text and high-emphasis headings — near-black with green undertone
- **PostHog Orange** (`#F54E00`): Hidden brand accent — appears only on hover states, a vibrant orange that surprises
### Secondary & Accent
- **Amber Gold** (`#F7A501`): Secondary hover accent on dark buttons — warm gold that pairs with the orange
- **Gold Border** (`#b17816`): Special button borders — an amber-gold for featured CTAs
- **Focus Blue** (`#3b82f6`): Focus ring color (Tailwind default) — the only blue in the system, reserved for accessibility
### Surface & Background
- **Warm Parchment** (`#fdfdf8`): Primary page background — warm near-white with yellow-green undertone
- **Sage Cream** (`#eeefe9`): Input backgrounds, secondary surfaces — light sage tint
- **Light Sage** (`#e5e7e0`): Button backgrounds, tertiary surfaces — muted sage-green
- **Warm Tan** (`#d4c9b8`): Featured button backgrounds — warm tan/khaki for emphasis
- **Hover White** (`#f4f4f4`): Universal hover background state
### Neutrals & Text
- **Olive Ink** (`#4d4f46`): Primary body and UI text
- **Muted Olive** (`#65675e`): Secondary text, button labels on light backgrounds
- **Sage Placeholder** (`#9ea096`): Placeholder text, disabled states — warm sage-green
- **Sage Border** (`#bfc1b7`): Primary border color — olive-tinted gray for all borders
- **Light Border** (`#b6b7af`): Secondary border, toolbar borders — slightly darker sage
### Semantic & Accent
- **PostHog Orange** (`#F54E00`): Hover text accent — signals interactivity and brand personality
- **Amber Gold** (`#F7A501`): Dark button hover accent — warmth signal
- **Focus Blue** (`#3b82f6` at 50% opacity): Keyboard focus rings — accessibility-only color
- **Dark Text** (`#111827`): High-contrast link text — near-black for important links
### Gradient System
- No gradients on the marketing site — PostHog's visual language is deliberately flat and warm
- Depth is achieved through layered surfaces and border containment, not color transitions
## 3. Typography Rules

### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | IBM Plex Sans Variable | 30px | 800 | 1.20 | -0.75px | Extra-bold, tight, maximum impact |
| Section Heading | IBM Plex Sans Variable | 36px | 700 | 1.50 | 0px | Large but generous line-height |

| Nav / UI | IBM Plex Sans Variable | 15px | 600 | 1.50 | 0px | Navigation and UI labels |
| Caption | IBM Plex Sans Variable | 14px | 400700 | 1.43 | 0px | Small text, various weights |
| Small Label | IBM Plex Sans Variable | 13px | 500700 | 1.001.50 | 0px | Tags, badges, micro labels |
| Micro | IBM Plex Sans Variable | 12px | 400700 | 1.33 | 0px | Smallest text, some uppercase |
| Code | Source Code Pro | 14px | 500 | 1.43 | 0px | Code snippets and terminal |
### Principles
- **Bold heading dominance**: Headings use 700800 weight — PostHog's typography is confident and assertive, not whispery
- **Generous body line-heights**: Body text at 1.501.71 line-height creates extremely comfortable reading — the site is content-heavy and optimized for long sessions
- **Fractional sizes**: Several sizes (21.4px, 19.3px, 13.7px) suggest a fluid/scaled type system rather than fixed stops — likely computed from Tailwind's rem scale at non-standard base
- **Uppercase as category signal**: Bold uppercase labels (18px20px weight 700) are used for product category headings — a magazine-editorial convention
- **Selective negative tracking**: Letter-spacing tightens on display text (-0.75px at 30px) but relaxes to 0px on body — headlines compress, body breathes
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
- **Dark Primary**: `#1e1f23` background, white text, 6px radius, `10px 12px` padding. Hover: opacity 0.7 with Amber Gold text. Active: opacity 0.8 with slight scale transform. The main CTA — dark and confident
- **Sage Light**: `#e5e7e0` background, Olive Ink (`#4d4f46`) text, 4px radius, `4px` padding. Hover: `#f4f4f4` bg with PostHog Orange text. Compact utility button
- **Warm Tan Featured**: `#d4c9b8` background, black text, no visible radius. Hover: same orange text flash. Featured/premium actions
- **Input-style**: `#eeefe9` background, Sage Placeholder (`#9ea096`) text, 4px radius, 1px `#b6b7af` border. Looks like a search/filter control
- **Near-white Ghost**: `#fdfdf8` background, Olive Ink text, 4px radius, transparent 1px border. Minimal presence
- **Hover pattern**: All buttons flash PostHog Orange (`#F54E00`) or Amber Gold (`#F7A501`) text on hover — the brand's signature interaction surprise
### Cards & Containers
- **Bordered Card**: Warm Parchment (`#fdfdf8`) or white background, 1px `#bfc1b7` border, 4px6px radius — clean and minimal
- **Sage Surface Card**: `#eeefe9` background for secondary content containers
- **Shadow Card**: `0px 25px 50px -12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25)` — a single deep shadow for elevated content (modals, dropdowns)
- **Hover**: Orange text flash on interactive cards — consistent with button behavior
### Inputs & Forms
- **Default**: `#eeefe9` background, `#9ea096` placeholder text, 1px `#b6b7af` border, 4px radius, `2px 0px 2px 8px` padding
- **Focus**: `#3b82f6` ring at 50% opacity (Tailwind blue focus ring)
- **Text color**: `#374151` for input values — darker than primary text for readability
- **Border variations**: Multiple border patterns — some inputs use compound borders (top, left, bottom-only)
### Navigation
- **Top nav**: Warm background, IBM Plex Sans at 15px weight 600
- **Dropdown menus**: Rich mega-menu structure with product categories
- **Link color**: Deep Olive (`#23251d`) for nav links, underline on hover
- **CTA**: Dark Primary button (#1e1f23) in the nav — "Get started - free"
- **Mobile**: Collapses to hamburger with simplified menu
### Image Treatment
- **Hand-drawn illustrations**: Hedgehog mascot and quirky illustrations — the signature visual element
- **Product screenshots**: UI screenshots embedded in device frames or clean containers
- **Action figures**: Playful product photography of hedgehog figurines — anti-corporate
- **Trust logos**: Enterprise logos (Airbus, GOV.UK) displayed in a muted trust bar
- **Aspect ratios**: Mixed — illustrations are irregular, screenshots are 16:9 or widescreen
### AI Chat Widget
- Floating PostHog AI assistant with speech bubble — an interactive product demo embedded in the marketing site
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- **Base unit**: 8px
- **Scale**: 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 18px, 24px, 32px, 34px
- **Section padding**: 32px48px vertical between sections (compact for a content-heavy site)
- **Card padding**: 4px12px internal (notably compact)
- **Component gaps**: 4px8px between related elements
### Grid & Container
- **Max width**: 1536px (largest breakpoint), with content containers likely 1200px1280px
- **Column patterns**: Varied — single column for text content, 2-3 column grids for feature cards, asymmetric layouts for product demos
- **Breakpoints**: 13 defined — 1px, 425px, 482px, 640px, 768px, 767px, 800px, 900px, 1024px, 1076px, 1160px, 1280px, 1536px
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Content-dense by design**: PostHog's site is information-rich — whitespace is measured, not lavish
- **Editorial pacing**: Content sections flow like a magazine with varied layouts keeping the eye moving
- **Illustrations as breathing room**: Hand-drawn hedgehog art breaks up dense content sections naturally
### Border Radius Scale
- **2px**: Small inline elements, tags (`span`)
- **4px**: Primary UI components — buttons, inputs, dropdowns, menu items (`button`, `div`, `combobox`)
- **6px**: Secondary containers — larger buttons, list items, card variants (`button`, `div`, `li`)
- **9999px**: Pill shape — badges, status indicators, rounded tags (`span`, `div`)
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Level 0 (Flat) | No shadow, warm parchment background | Page canvas, most surfaces |
| Level 1 (Border) | `1px solid #bfc1b7` (Sage Border) | Card containment, input borders, section dividers |
| Level 2 (Compound Border) | Multiple 1px borders on different sides | Input groupings, toolbar elements |
| Level 3 (Deep Shadow) | `0px 25px 50px -12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25)` | Modals, floating elements, mega-menu dropdowns |
### Shadow Philosophy
PostHog's elevation system is remarkably minimal — only one shadow definition exists in the entire system. Depth is communicated through:
- **Border containment**: Sage-tinted borders (`#bfc1b7`) at 1px create gentle warm separation
- **Surface color shifts**: Moving from `#fdfdf8` to `#eeefe9` to `#e5e7e0` creates layered depth without shadows
- **The single shadow**: The one defined shadow (`0 25px 50px -12px`) is reserved for floating elements — modals, dropdowns, popovers. It's a deep, dramatic shadow that creates clear separation when needed
### Decorative Depth
- **Illustration layering**: Hand-drawn hedgehog art creates visual depth naturally
- **No gradients or glow**: The flat, warm surface system relies entirely on border and surface-color differentiation
- **No glassmorphism**: Fully opaque surfaces throughout
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use the olive/sage color family (#4d4f46, #23251d, #bfc1b7) for text and borders — the warm green undertone is essential to the brand
- Flash PostHog Orange (#F54E00) on hover states — it's the hidden brand signature
- Use IBM Plex Sans at bold weights (700/800) for headings — the font carries technical credibility
- Keep body text at generous line-heights (1.501.71) — the content-heavy site demands readability
- Maintain the warm parchment background (#fdfdf8) — not pure white, never cold
- Use 4px border-radius for most UI elements — keep corners subtle and functional
- Include playful, hand-drawn illustration elements — the personality is the differentiator
- Apply opacity-based hover states (0.7 opacity) on dark buttons rather than color shifts
### Don't
- Use blue, purple, or typical tech-SaaS colors — PostHog's palette is deliberately olive/sage
- Add heavy shadows — the system uses one shadow for floating elements only; everything else uses borders
- Make the design look "polished" or "premium" in a conventional sense — PostHog's charm is its irreverent, scrappy energy
- Use tight line-heights on body text — the generous 1.50+ spacing is essential for the content-heavy layout
- Apply large border-radius (12px+) on cards — PostHog uses 4px6px, keeping things tight and functional
- Remove the orange hover flash — it's a core interaction pattern, not decoration
- Replace illustrations with stock photography — the hand-drawn hedgehog art is the brand
- Use pure white (#ffffff) as page background — the warm sage-cream (#fdfdf8) tint is foundational

- "Design an input field with #eeefe9 background, 1px #b6b7af border, 4px radius, #9ea096 placeholder text, focus ring in #3b82f6 at 50% opacity"
### Iteration Guide
When refining existing screens generated with this design system:
1. Verify the background is warm parchment (#fdfdf8) not pure white — the sage-cream warmth is essential
2. Check that all text uses the olive family (#4d4f46, #23251d) not pure black or neutral gray
3. Ensure hover states flash PostHog Orange (#F54E00) — if hovering feels bland, you're missing this
4. Confirm borders use sage-tinted gray (#bfc1b7) not neutral gray — warmth runs through every element
5. The overall tone should feel like a fun, scrappy startup wiki — never corporate-polished or sterile

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Raycast's marketing site feels like the dark interior of a precision instrument — a Swiss watch case carved from obsidian. The background isn't just dark, it's an almost-black blue-tint (`#07080a`) that creates a sense of being inside a macOS native application rather than a website. Every surface, every border, every shadow is calibrated to evoke the feeling of a high-performance desktop utility: fast, minimal, trustworthy.
The signature move is the layered shadow system borrowed from macOS window chrome: multi-layer box-shadows with inset highlights that simulate physical depth, as if cards and buttons are actual pressed or raised glass elements on a dark desk. Combined with Raycast Red (`#FF6363`) — deployed almost exclusively in the hero's iconic diagonal stripe pattern — the palette creates a brand that reads as "powerful tool with personality." The red doesn't dominate; it punctuates.
Inter is used everywhere — headings, body, buttons, captions — with extensive OpenType features (`calt`, `kern`, `liga`, `ss03`) creating a consistent, readable typographic voice. The positive letter-spacing (0.2px0.4px on body text) is unusual for a dark UI and gives the text an airy, breathable quality that counterbalances the dense, dark surfaces. GeistMono appears for code elements, reinforcing the developer-tool identity.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Near-black blue-tinted background (`#07080a`) — not pure black, subtly blue-shifted
- macOS-native shadow system with multi-layer inset highlights simulating physical depth
- Raycast Red (`#FF6363`) as a punctuation color — hero stripes, not pervasive
- Inter with positive letter-spacing (0.2px) for an airy, readable dark-mode experience
- Radix UI component primitives powering the interaction layer
- Subtle rgba white borders (0.060.1 opacity) for containment on dark surfaces
- Keyboard shortcut styling with gradient key caps and heavy shadows
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Near-Black Blue** (`#07080a`): Primary page background — the foundational void with a subtle blue-cold undertone
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary heading text, high-emphasis elements
- **Raycast Red** (`#FF6363` / `hsl(0, 100%, 69%)`): Brand accent — hero stripes, danger states, critical highlights
### Secondary & Accent
- **Raycast Blue** (`hsl(202, 100%, 67%)` / ~`#55b3ff`): Interactive accent — links, focus states, selected items
- **Raycast Green** (`hsl(151, 59%, 59%)` / ~`#5fc992`): Success states, positive indicators
- **Raycast Yellow** (`hsl(43, 100%, 60%)` / ~`#ffbc33`): Warning accents, highlights
- **Blue Transparent** (`hsla(202, 100%, 67%, 0.15)`): Blue tint overlay for interactive surfaces
- **Red Transparent** (`hsla(0, 100%, 69%, 0.15)`): Red tint overlay for danger/error surfaces
### Surface & Background
- **Deep Background** (`#07080a`): Page canvas, the darkest surface
- **Surface 100** (`#101111`): Elevated surface, card backgrounds
- **Key Start** (`#121212`): Keyboard key gradient start
- **Key End** (`#0d0d0d`): Keyboard key gradient end
- **Card Surface** (`#1b1c1e`): Badge backgrounds, tag fills, elevated containers
- **Button Foreground** (`#18191a`): Dark surface for button text on light backgrounds
### Neutrals & Text
- **Near White** (`#f9f9f9` / `hsl(240, 11%, 96%)`): Primary body text, high-emphasis content
- **Light Gray** (`#cecece` / `#cdcdce`): Secondary body text, descriptions
- **Silver** (`#c0c0c0`): Tertiary text, subdued labels
- **Medium Gray** (`#9c9c9d`): Link default color, secondary navigation
- **Dim Gray** (`#6a6b6c`): Disabled text, low-emphasis labels
- **Dark Gray** (`#434345`): Muted borders, inactive navigation links
- **Border** (`hsl(195, 5%, 15%)` / ~`#252829`): Standard border color for cards and dividers
- **Dark Border** (`#2f3031`): Separator lines, table borders
### Semantic & Accent
- **Error Red** (`hsl(0, 100%, 69%)`): Error states, destructive actions
- **Success Green** (`hsl(151, 59%, 59%)`): Success confirmations, positive states
- **Warning Yellow** (`hsl(43, 100%, 60%)`): Warnings, attention-needed states
- **Info Blue** (`hsl(202, 100%, 67%)`): Informational highlights, links
### Gradient System
- **Keyboard Key Gradient**: Linear gradient from `#121212` (top) to `#0d0d0d` (bottom) — simulates physical key depth
- **Warm Glow**: `rgba(215, 201, 175, 0.05)` radial spread — subtle warm ambient glow behind featured elements
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Primary**: `Inter` — humanist sans-serif, used everywhere. Fallbacks: `Inter Fallback`, system sans-serif
- **System**: `SF Pro Text` — Apple system font for select macOS-native UI elements. Fallbacks: `SF Pro Icons`, `Inter`, `Inter Fallback`
- **Monospace**: `GeistMono` — Vercel's monospace font for code elements. Fallbacks: `ui-monospace`, `SFMono-Regular`, `Roboto Mono`, `Menlo`, `Monaco`
- **OpenType features**: `calt`, `kern`, `liga`, `ss03` enabled globally; `ss02`, `ss08` on display text; `liga` disabled (`"liga" 0`) on hero headings
### Hierarchy
| Role | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | 64px | 600 | 1.10 | 0px | OpenType: liga 0, ss02, ss08 |
| Section Display | 56px | 400 | 1.17 | 0.2px | OpenType: calt, kern, liga, ss03 |
| Section Heading | 24px | 500 | normal | 0.2px | OpenType: calt, kern, liga, ss03 |
| Card Heading | 22px | 400 | 1.15 | 0px | OpenType: calt, kern, liga, ss03 |
| Sub-heading | 20px | 500 | 1.60 | 0.2px | Relaxed line-height for readability |
| Body Large | 18px | 400 | 1.15 | 0.2px | OpenType: calt, kern, liga, ss03 |
| Body | 16px | 500 | 1.60 | 0.2px | Primary body text, relaxed rhythm |
| Body Tight | 16px | 400 | 1.15 | 0.1px | UI labels, compact contexts |
| Button | 16px | 600 | 1.15 | 0.3px | Semibold, slightly wider tracking |
| Nav Link | 16px | 500 | 1.40 | 0.3px | Links in navigation |
| Caption | 14px | 500 | 1.14 | 0.2px | Small labels, metadata |
| Caption Bold | 14px | 600 | 1.40 | 0px | Emphasized captions |
| Small | 12px | 600 | 1.33 | 0px | Badges, tags, micro-labels |
| Small Link | 12px | 400 | 1.50 | 0.4px | Footer links, fine print |
| Code | 14px (GeistMono) | 500 | 1.60 | 0.3px | Code blocks, technical content |
| Code Small | 12px (GeistMono) | 400 | 1.60 | 0.2px | Inline code, terminal output |
### Principles
- **Positive tracking on dark**: Unlike most dark UIs that use tight or neutral letter-spacing, Raycast applies +0.2px to +0.4px — creating an airy, readable feel that compensates for the dark background
- **Weight 500 as baseline**: Most body text uses medium weight (500), not regular (400) — subtle extra heft improves legibility on dark surfaces
- **Display restraint**: Hero text at 64px/600 is confident but not oversized — Raycast avoids typographic spectacle in favor of functional elegance
- **OpenType everywhere**: `ss03` (stylistic set 3) is enabled globally across Inter, giving the typeface a slightly more geometric, tool-like quality
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
- **Primary Pill**: Transparent background, white text, pill shape (86px radius), multi-layer inset shadow (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset`). Hover: opacity 0.6
- **Secondary Button**: Transparent background, white text, 6px radius, `1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1)` border, subtle drop shadow (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.03) 0px 7px 3px`). Hover: opacity 0.6
- **Ghost Button**: No background or border, gray text (`#6a6b6c`), 86px radius, same inset shadow. Hover: opacity 0.6, text brightens to white
- **CTA (Download)**: Semi-transparent white background (`hsla(0, 0%, 100%, 0.815)`), dark text (`#18191a`), pill shape. Hover: full white background (`hsl(0, 0%, 100%)`)
- **Transition**: All buttons use opacity transition for hover rather than background-color change — a signature Raycast interaction pattern
### Cards & Containers
- **Standard Card**: `#101111` surface, `1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.06)` border, 12px16px border-radius
- **Elevated Card**: Ring shadow `rgb(27, 28, 30) 0px 0px 0px 1px` outer + `rgb(7, 8, 10) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset` inner — creates a double-ring containment
- **Feature Card**: 16px20px border-radius, subtle warm glow (`rgba(215, 201, 175, 0.05) 0px 0px 20px 5px`) behind hero elements
- **Hover**: Cards brighten slightly via border opacity increase or subtle shadow enhancement
### Inputs & Forms
- Dark input fields with `#07080a` background, `1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.08)` border, 8px border-radius
- Focus state: Border brightens, blue glow (`hsla(202, 100%, 67%, 0.15)`) ring appears
- Text: `#f9f9f9` input color, `#6a6b6c` placeholder
- Labels: `#9c9c9d` at 14px weight 500
### Navigation
- **Top nav**: Dark background blending with page, white text links at 16px weight 500
- **Nav links**: Gray text (`#9c9c9d`) → white on hover, underline decoration on hover
- **CTA button**: Semi-transparent white pill at nav end
- **Mobile**: Collapses to hamburger, maintains dark theme
- **Sticky**: Nav fixed at top with subtle border separator
### Image Treatment
- **Product screenshots**: macOS window chrome style — rounded corners (12px), deep shadows simulating floating windows
- **Full-bleed sections**: Dark screenshots blend seamlessly into the dark background
- **Hero illustration**: Diagonal stripe pattern in Raycast Red — abstract, geometric, brand-defining
- **App UI embeds**: Showing actual Raycast command palette and extensions — product as content
### Keyboard Shortcut Keys
- **Key cap styling**: Gradient background (`#121212``#0d0d0d`), heavy multi-layer shadow (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4) 0px 1.5px 0.5px 2.5px` + inset shadows), creating realistic physical key appearance
- Border-radius: 4px6px for individual keys
### Badges & Tags
- **Neutral badge**: `#1b1c1e` background, white text, 6px radius, 14px font at weight 500, `0px 6px` padding
- Compact, pill-like treatment for categorization
## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- **Base unit**: 8px
- **Scale**: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px, 32px, 40px
- **Section padding**: 80px120px vertical between major sections
- **Card padding**: 16px32px internal spacing
- **Component gaps**: 8px16px between related elements
### Grid & Container
- **Max width**: ~1200px container (breakpoint at 1204px), centered
- **Column patterns**: Single-column hero, 23 column feature grids, full-width showcase sections
- **App showcase**: Product UI presented in centered window frames
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Dramatic negative space**: Sections float in vast dark void, creating cinematic pacing between features
- **Dense product, sparse marketing**: The product UI screenshots are information-dense, but the surrounding marketing copy uses minimal text with generous spacing
- **Vertical rhythm**: Consistent 24px32px gaps between elements within sections
### Border Radius Scale
- **2px3px**: Micro-elements, code spans, tiny indicators
- **4px5px**: Keyboard keys, small interactive elements
- **6px**: Buttons, badges, tags — the workhorse radius
- **8px**: Input fields, inline components
- **9px11px**: Images, medium containers
- **12px**: Standard cards, product screenshots
- **16px**: Large cards, feature sections
- **20px**: Hero cards, prominent containers
- **86px+**: Pill buttons, nav CTAs — full pill shape
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Level 0 (Void) | No shadow, `#07080a` surface | Page background |
| Level 1 (Subtle) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.28) 0px 1.189px 2.377px` | Minimal lift, inline elements |
| Level 2 (Ring) | `rgb(27, 28, 30) 0px 0px 0px 1px` outer + `rgb(7, 8, 10) 0px 0px 0px 1px inset` inner | Card containment, double-ring technique |
| Level 3 (Button) | `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.05) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset` + `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.25) 0px 0px 0px 1px` + `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px -1px 0px 0px inset` | macOS-native button press — white highlight top, dark inset bottom |
| Level 4 (Key) | 5-layer shadow stack with inset press effects | Keyboard shortcut key caps — physical 3D appearance |
| Level 5 (Floating) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5) 0px 0px 0px 2px` + `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.19) 0px 0px 14px` + insets | Command palette, floating panels — heavy depth with glow |
### Shadow Philosophy
Raycast's shadow system is the most macOS-native on the web. Multi-layer shadows combine:
- **Outer rings** for containment (replacing traditional borders)
- **Inset top highlights** (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.050.25)`) simulating light source from above
- **Inset bottom darks** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)`) simulating shadow underneath
- The effect is physical: elements feel like glass or brushed metal, not flat rectangles
### Decorative Depth
- **Warm glow**: `rgba(215, 201, 175, 0.05) 0px 0px 20px 5px` behind featured elements — a subtle warm aura on the cold dark canvas
- **Blue info glow**: `rgba(0, 153, 255, 0.15)` for interactive state emphasis
- **Red danger glow**: `rgba(255, 99, 99, 0.15)` for error/destructive state emphasis
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use `#07080a` (not pure black) as the background — the blue-cold tint is essential to the Raycast feel
- Apply positive letter-spacing (+0.2px) on body text — this is deliberately different from most dark UIs
- Use multi-layer shadows with inset highlights for interactive elements — the macOS-native depth is signature
- Keep Raycast Red (`#FF6363`) as punctuation, not pervasive — reserve it for hero moments and error states
- Use `rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.06)` borders for card containment — barely visible, structurally essential
- Apply weight 500 as the body text baseline — medium weight improves dark-mode legibility
- Use pill shapes (86px+ radius) for primary CTAs, rectangular shapes (6px8px) for secondary actions
- Enable OpenType features `calt`, `kern`, `liga`, `ss03` on all Inter text
- Use opacity transitions (hover: opacity 0.6) for button interactions, not color changes
### Don't
- Use pure black (`#000000`) as the background — the blue tint differentiates Raycast from generic dark themes
- Apply negative letter-spacing on body text — Raycast deliberately uses positive spacing for readability
- Use Raycast Blue as the primary accent for everything — blue is for interactive/info, red is the brand color
- Create single-layer flat shadows — the multi-layer inset system is core to the macOS-native aesthetic
- Use regular weight (400) for body text when 500 is available — the extra weight prevents dark-mode text from feeling thin
- Mix warm and cool borders — stick to the cool gray (`hsl(195, 5%, 15%)`) border palette
- Apply heavy drop shadows without inset companions — shadows always come in pairs (outer + inset)
- Use decorative elements, gradients, or colorful backgrounds — the dark void is the stage, content is the performer
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <600px | Single column, stacked cards, hamburger nav, hero text reduces to ~40px |
| Small Tablet | 600px768px | 2-column grid begins, nav partially visible |
| Tablet | 768px1024px | 23 column features, nav expanding, screenshots scale |
| Desktop | 1024px1200px | Full layout, all nav links visible, 64px hero display |
| Large Desktop | >1200px | Max-width container centered, generous side margins |
### Touch Targets
- Pill buttons: 86px radius with 20px padding — well above 44px minimum
- Secondary buttons: 8px padding minimum, but border provides visual target expansion
- Nav links: 16px text with surrounding padding for accessible touch targets
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Full horizontal nav → hamburger at mobile with slide-out menu
- **Hero**: 64px display → 48px → 36px across breakpoints
- **Feature grids**: 3-column → 2-column → single-column stack
- **Product screenshots**: Scale within containers, maintaining macOS window chrome proportions
- **Keyboard shortcut displays**: Simplify or hide on mobile where keyboard shortcuts are irrelevant
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots scale responsively within fixed-ratio containers
- Hero diagonal stripe pattern scales proportionally
- macOS window chrome rounded corners maintained at all sizes
- No lazy-loading artifacts — images are critical to the product narrative

### Iteration Guide
When refining existing screens generated with this design system:
1. Check the background is `#07080a` not pure black — the blue tint is critical
2. Verify letter-spacing is positive (+0.2px) on body text — negative spacing breaks the Raycast aesthetic
3. Ensure shadows have both outer and inset layers — single-layer shadows look flat and wrong
4. Confirm Inter has OpenType features `calt`, `kern`, `liga`, `ss03` enabled
5. Test that hover states use opacity transitions (0.6) not color swaps — this is a core interaction pattern

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Replicate's interface is a developer playground crackling with creative energy — a bold, high-contrast design that feels more like a music festival poster than a typical API platform. The hero section explodes with a vibrant orange-red-magenta gradient that immediately signals "this is where AI models come alive," while the body of the page grounds itself in a clean white canvas where code snippets and model galleries take center stage.
The design personality is defined by two extreme choices: **massive display typography** (up to 128px) using the custom rb-freigeist-neue face, and **exclusively pill-shaped geometry** (9999px radius on everything). The display font is thick, bold, and confident — its heavy weight at enormous sizes creates text that feels like it's shouting with joy rather than whispering authority. Combined with basier-square for body text (a clean geometric sans) and JetBrains Mono for code, the system serves developers who want power and playfulness in equal measure.
What makes Replicate distinctive is its community-powered energy. The model gallery with AI-generated images, the dotted-underline links, the green status badges, and the "Imagine what you can build" closing manifesto all create a space that feels alive and participatory — not a corporate product page but a launchpad for creative developers.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Explosive orange-red-magenta gradient hero (#ea2804 brand anchor)
- Massive display typography (128px) in heavy rb-freigeist-neue
- Exclusively pill-shaped geometry: 9999px radius on EVERYTHING
- High-contrast black (#202020) and white palette with red brand accent
- Developer-community energy: model galleries, code examples, dotted-underline links
- Green status badges (#2b9a66) for live/operational indicators
- Bold/heavy font weights (600-700) creating maximum typographic impact
- Playful closing manifesto: "Imagine what you can build."

- **Replicate Dark** (`#202020`): The primary text color and dark surface — a near-black that's the anchor of all text and borders. Slightly warmer than pure #000.
- **Replicate Red** (`#ea2804`): The core brand color — a vivid, saturated orange-red used in the hero gradient, accent borders, and high-signal moments.
- **Secondary Red** (`#dd4425`): A slightly warmer variant for button borders and link hover states.
### Secondary & Accent
- **Status Green** (`#2b9a66`): Badge/pill background for "running" or operational status indicators.
- **GitHub Dark** (`#24292e`): A blue-tinted dark used for code block backgrounds and developer contexts.
### Surface & Background
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): The primary page body background.
- **Near White** (`#fcfcfc`): Button text on dark surfaces and the lightest content.
- **Hero Gradient**: A dramatic orange → red → magenta → pink gradient for the hero section. Transitions from warm (#ea2804 family) through hot pink.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Medium Gray** (`#646464`): Secondary body text and de-emphasized content.
- **Warm Gray** (`#4e4e4e`): Emphasized secondary text.
- **Mid Silver** (`#8d8d8d`): Tertiary text, footnotes.
- **Light Silver** (`#bbbbbb`): Dotted-underline link decoration color, muted metadata.
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Maximum-emphasis borders and occasional text.
### Gradient System
- **Hero Blaze**: A dramatic multi-stop gradient flowing through orange (`#ea2804`) → red → magenta → hot pink. This gradient occupies the full hero section and is the most visually dominant element on the page.
- **Dark Sections**: Deep dark (#202020) sections with white/near-white text provide contrast against the white body.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Display**: `rb-freigeist-neue`, with fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui`
- **Body / UI**: `basier-square`, with fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui`
- **Code**: `jetbrains-mono`, with fallbacks: `ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, Liberation Mono, Courier New`
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Mega | rb-freigeist-neue | 128px (8rem) | 700 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | The maximum: closing manifesto |
| Display / Hero | rb-freigeist-neue | 72px (4.5rem) | 700 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.8px | Hero section headline |
| Section Heading | rb-freigeist-neue | 48px (3rem) | 400700 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | rb-freigeist-neue | 30px (1.88rem) | 600 | 1.20 (tight) | normal | Card headings |
| Sub-heading Sans | basier-square | 38.4px (2.4rem) | 400 | 0.83 (ultra-tight) | normal | Large body headings |
| Feature Title | basier-square / rb-freigeist-neue | 18px (1.13rem) | 600 | 1.56 | normal | Small section titles, labels |
| Body Large | basier-square | 20px (1.25rem) | 400 | 1.40 | normal | Intro paragraphs |
| Body / Button | basier-square | 1618px (11.13rem) | 400600 | 1.501.56 | normal | Standard text, buttons |
| Caption | basier-square | 14px (0.88rem) | 400600 | 1.43 | -0.35px to normal | Metadata, descriptions |
| Small / Tag | basier-square | 12px (0.75rem) | 400 | 1.33 | normal | Tags (lowercase transform) |
| Code | jetbrains-mono | 14px (0.88rem) | 400 | 1.43 | normal | Code snippets, API examples |
| Code Small | jetbrains-mono | 11px (0.69rem) | 400 | 1.50 | normal | Tiny code references |
### Principles
- **Heavy display, light body**: rb-freigeist-neue at 700 weight creates thundering headlines, while basier-square at 400 handles body text with quiet efficiency. The contrast is extreme and intentional.
- **128px is a real size**: The closing manifesto "Imagine what you can build." uses 128px — bigger than most mobile screens. This is the design equivalent of shouting from a rooftop.
- **Negative tracking on hero**: -1.8px letter-spacing at 72px creates dense, impactful hero text.
- **Lowercase tags**: 12px basier-square uses `text-transform: lowercase` — an unusual choice that creates a casual, developer-friendly vibe.
- **Weight 600 as emphasis**: When basier-square needs emphasis, it uses 600 (semibold) — never bold (700), which is reserved for rb-freigeist-neue display text.

## 5. Layout Principles
### Spacing System
- Base unit: 8px
- Scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px, 96px, 160px, 192px
- Button padding: varies widely (0px 4px to 6px 56px)
- Section vertical spacing: very generous (96192px)
### Grid & Container
- Fluid width with responsive constraints
- Hero: full-width gradient with centered content
- Model gallery: multi-column responsive grid
- Feature sections: mixed layouts
- Code examples: contained dark blocks
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Bold and generous**: Massive spacing between sections (up to 192px) creates distinct zones.
- **Dense within galleries**: Model images are tightly packed in the grid for browsable density.
- **The gradient IS the whitespace**: The hero gradient section occupies significant vertical space as a colored void.
### Border Radius Scale
- **Pill (9999px)**: The ONLY radius in the system. Everything interactive, every image, every badge, every label, every container uses 9999px. This is the most extreme pill-radius commitment in any major tech brand.
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | White body, text blocks |
| Bordered (Level 1) | `1px solid #202020` | Cards, buttons, containers |
| Accent Border (Level 2) | `1px solid #ea2804` | Featured/highlighted items |
| Gradient Hero (Level 3) | Full-width blaze gradient | Hero section, maximum visual impact |
| Dark Section (Level 4) | Dark bg (#202020) with light text | Manifesto, footer, feature sections |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Replicate relies on **borders and background color** for depth rather than shadows. The `1px solid #202020` border is the primary containment mechanism. The dramatic gradient hero and dark/light section alternation provide all the depth the design needs.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use pill-shaped (9999px) radius on EVERYTHING — buttons, images, badges, containers
- Use rb-freigeist-neue at weight 700 for display text — go big (72px+) or go home
- Use the orange-red brand gradient for hero sections
- Use Replicate Dark (#202020) as the primary dark — not pure black
- Apply dotted underline decoration on text links (#bbbbbb)
- Use Status Green (#2b9a66) for operational/success badges
- Keep body text in basier-square at 400600 weight
- Use JetBrains Mono for all code content
- Create a "manifesto" section with 128px type for emotional impact
### Don't
- Don't use any border-radius other than 9999px — the pill system is absolute
- Don't use the brand red (#ea2804) as a surface/background color — it's for gradients and accent borders
- Don't reduce display text below 48px on desktop — the heavy display font needs size to breathe
- Don't use light/thin font weights on rb-freigeist-neue — 600700 is the range
- Don't use solid underlines on links — dotted is the signature
- Don't add drop shadows — depth comes from borders and background color
- Don't use warm neutrals — the gray scale is purely neutral (#202020#bbbbbb)
- Don't skip the code examples — they're primary content, not decoration
- Don't make the hero gradient subtle — it should be BOLD and vibrant
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
*No explicit breakpoints detected — likely using fluid/container-query responsive system.*
### Touch Targets
- Pill buttons with generous padding
- Gallery images as large touch targets
- Navigation adequately spaced
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Hero text**: 128px → 72px → 48px progressive scaling
- **Model gallery**: Grid reduces columns
- **Navigation**: Collapses to hamburger
- **Manifesto**: Scales down but maintains impact
### Image Behavior
- AI-generated images scale within pill containers
- Gallery reflows to fewer columns on narrow screens
- Hero gradient maintained at all sizes
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Primary Text: "Replicate Dark (#202020)"
- Page Background: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Brand Accent: "Replicate Red (#ea2804)"
- Secondary Text: "Medium Gray (#646464)"
- Muted/Decoration: "Light Silver (#bbbbbb)"
- Status: "Status Green (#2b9a66)"
- Dark Surface: "Replicate Dark (#202020)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section with a vibrant orange-red-magenta gradient background. Headline at 72px rb-freigeist-neue weight 700, white text, -1.8px letter-spacing. Include a dark pill CTA button and a white outlined pill button."
- "Design a model card with pill-shaped (9999px) image container, model name at 16px basier-square weight 600, run count at 14px in Medium Gray. Border: 1px solid #202020."
- "Build a status badge: pill-shaped (9999px), Status Green (#2b9a66) background, white text at 14px basier-square."
- "Create a manifesto section on Replicate Dark (#202020) with 'Imagine what you can build.' at 128px rb-freigeist-neue weight 700, white text. Embed small AI-generated images between the words."
- "Design a code block: dark background (#24292e), JetBrains Mono at 14px, white text. Pill-shaped container."
### Iteration Guide
1. Everything is pill-shaped — never specify any other border-radius
2. Display text is HEAVY — weight 700, sizes 48px+
3. Links use dotted underline (#bbbbbb) — never solid
4. The gradient hero is the visual anchor — make it bold
5. Use basier-square for body, rb-freigeist-neue for display, JetBrains Mono for code

# Design System: Resend
> **Hermes Agent — Implementation Notes**

> ```
> Use `write_file` to create HTML, serve via `generative-widgets` skill (cloudflared tunnel).
> Verify visual accuracy with `browser_vision` after generating.
## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Resend's website is a dark, cinematic canvas that treats email infrastructure like a luxury product. The entire page is draped in pure black (`#000000`) with text that glows in near-white (`#f0f0f0`), creating a theater-like experience where content performs on a void stage. This isn't the typical developer-tool darkness — it's the controlled darkness of a photography gallery, where every element is lit with intention and nothing competes for attention.
The typography system is the star of the show. Three carefully chosen typefaces create a hierarchy that feels both editorial and technical: Domaine Display (a Klim Type Foundry serif) appears at massive 96px for hero headlines with barely-there line-height (1.00) and negative tracking (-0.96px), creating display text that feels like a magazine cover. ABC Favorit (by Dinamo) handles section headings with an even more aggressive letter-spacing (-2.8px at 56px), giving a compressed, engineered quality to mid-tier text. Inter takes over for body and UI, providing the clean readability that lets the display fonts shine. Commit Mono rounds out the family for code blocks.
What makes Resend distinctive is its icy, blue-tinted border system. Instead of neutral gray borders, Resend uses `rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` — a frosty, slightly blue-tinted line at 19% opacity that gives every container and divider a cold, crystalline quality against the black background. Combined with pill-shaped buttons (9999px radius), multi-color accent system (orange, green, blue, yellow, red — each with its own CSS variable scale), and OpenType stylistic sets (`"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"`), the result is a design system that feels premium, precise, and quietly confident.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Pure black background with near-white (`#f0f0f0`) text — theatrical, gallery-like darkness
- Three-font hierarchy: Domaine Display (serif hero), ABC Favorit (geometric sections), Inter (body/UI)
- Icy blue-tinted borders: `rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` — every border has a cold, crystalline shimmer
- Multi-color accent system: orange, green, blue, yellow, red — each with numbered CSS variable scales
- Pill-shaped buttons and tags (9999px radius) with transparent backgrounds
- OpenType stylistic sets (`"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"`) on display fonts
- Commit Mono for code — monospace as a design element, not an afterthought
- Whisper-level shadows using blue-tinted ring: `rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px`
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Void Black** (`#000000`): Page background, the defining canvas color (95% opacity via `--color-black-12`)
- **Near White** (`#f0f0f0`): Primary text, button text, high-contrast elements
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): `--color-white`, maximum emphasis text, link highlights
### Accent Scale — Orange
- **Orange 4** (`#ff5900`): `--color-orange-4`, at 22% opacity — subtle warm glow
- **Orange 10** (`#ff801f`): `--color-orange-10`, primary orange accent — warm, energetic
- **Orange 11** (`#ffa057`): `--color-orange-11`, lighter orange for secondary use
### Accent Scale — Green
- **Green 3** (`#22ff99`): `--color-green-3`, at 12% opacity — faint emerald wash
- **Green 4** (`#11ff99`): `--color-green-4`, at 18% opacity — success indicator glow
### Accent Scale — Blue
- **Blue 4** (`#0075ff`): `--color-blue-4`, at 34% opacity — medium blue accent
- **Blue 5** (`#0081fd`): `--color-blue-5`, at 42% opacity — stronger blue
- **Blue 10** (`#3b9eff`): `--color-blue-10`, bright blue — links, interactive elements
### Accent Scale — Other
- **Yellow 9** (`#ffc53d`): `--color-yellow-9`, warm gold for warnings or highlights
- **Red 5** (`#ff2047`): `--color-red-5`, at 34% opacity — error states, destructive actions
### Neutral Scale
- **Silver** (`#a1a4a5`): Secondary text, muted links, descriptions
- **Dark Gray** (`#464a4d`): Tertiary text, de-emphasized content
- **Mid Gray** (`#5c5c5c`): Hover states, subtle emphasis

- **White 64%** (`oklab(0.999994 ... / 0.642)`): Slightly brighter semi-transparent white
### Borders & Shadows
- **Frost Border** (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`): The signature — icy blue-tinted borders at 19% opacity
- **Frost Border Alt** (`rgba(217, 237, 254, 0.145)`): Slightly lighter variant for list items
- **Ring Shadow** (`rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px`): Blue-tinted shadow-as-border
- **Focus Ring** (`rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 8px`): Heavy black focus ring
- **Subtle Shadow** (`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px`): Minimal card elevation
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Families
- **Display Serif**: `domaine` (Domaine Display by Klim Type Foundry) — hero headlines
- **Display Sans**: `aBCFavorit` (ABC Favorit by Dinamo), fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui` — section headings
- **Body / UI**: `inter`, fallbacks: `ui-sans-serif, system-ui` — body text, buttons, navigation
- **Monospace**: `commitMono`, fallbacks: `ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Monaco, Consolas`
- **Secondary**: `Helvetica` — fallback for specific UI contexts
- **System**: `-apple-system, system-ui, Segoe UI, Roboto` — embedded content

### Principles
- **Three-font editorial hierarchy**: Domaine Display (serif, hero), ABC Favorit (geometric sans, sections), Inter (readable body). Each font has a strict role — they never cross lanes.
- **Aggressive negative tracking on display**: Domaine at -0.96px, ABC Favorit at -2.8px. The display type feels compressed, urgent, and designed — like a magazine masthead.
- **Positive tracking on nav**: ABC Favorit nav links use +0.35px letter-spacing — the only positive tracking in the system. This creates airy, spaced-out navigation text that contrasts with the compressed headings.
- **OpenType as identity**: The `"ss01"`, `"ss03"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"` stylistic sets are enabled on all ABC Favorit and Domaine text, activating alternate glyphs that give Resend's typography its unique character.
- **Commit Mono as design element**: The monospace font isn't hidden in code blocks — it's used prominently for code examples and technical content, treated as a first-class visual element.

- Code preview panels as full-width or contained showcases
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Cinematic black space**: The black background IS the whitespace. Generous vertical spacing (80px120px+) between sections creates a scroll-through-darkness experience where each section emerges like a scene.
- **Tight content, vast surrounds**: Text blocks and cards are compact internally, but float in vast dark space — creating isolated "islands" of content.
- **Typography-led rhythm**: The massive display fonts (96px) create their own vertical rhythm — each headline is a visual event that anchors the surrounding space.
### Border Radius Scale
- Sharp (4px): Buttons (ghost), inputs, small interactive elements
- Subtle (6px): Menu panels, navigation items
- Standard (8px): Tabs, content blocks
- Comfortable (10px): Accent elements
- Card (12px): Clipboard buttons, medium containers
- Large (16px): Feature cards, images, main buttons
- Section (24px): Large panels, section containers
- Pill (9999px): Primary CTAs, tags, badges
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, transparent background | Default — most elements on dark void |
| Ring (Level 1) | `rgba(176, 199, 217, 0.145) 0px 0px 0px 1px` | Shadow-as-border for cards, containers |
| Frost Border (Level 1b) | `1px solid rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)` | Explicit borders — buttons, dividers, tabs |
| Subtle (Level 2) | `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 3px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 1px 2px -1px` | Light card elevation |
| Focus (Level 3) | `rgb(0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 8px` | Heavy black focus ring — accessibility |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Resend barely uses shadows at all. On a pure black background, traditional shadows are invisible — you can't cast a shadow into the void. Instead, Resend creates depth through its signature frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`) — thin, icy blue-tinted lines that catch light against the darkness. This creates a "glass panel floating in space" aesthetic where borders are the primary depth mechanism.
### Decorative Depth
- Subtle warm gradient glows behind hero content (orange/amber tints)
- Product screenshots create visual depth through their own internal UI
- No gradient backgrounds — depth comes from border luminance and content contrast
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use pure black (`#000000`) as the page background — the void is the canvas
- Apply frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`) for all structural lines — they're the blue-tinted signature
- Use Domaine Display ONLY for hero headings (96px), ABC Favorit for section headings, Inter for everything else
- Enable OpenType `"ss01"`, `"ss04"`, `"ss11"` on Domaine and ABC Favorit text
- Apply pill radius (9999px) to primary CTAs and tags
- Use the multi-color accent scale (orange/green/blue/yellow/red) with opacity variants for context-specific highlighting
- Keep shadows at ring level (`0px 0px 0px 1px`) — on black, traditional shadows don't work
- Use +0.35px letter-spacing on ABC Favorit nav links — the only positive tracking
### Don't
- Don't lighten the background above `#000000` — the pure black void is non-negotiable
- Don't use neutral gray borders — all borders must have the frost blue tint
- Don't apply Domaine Display to body text — it's a display-only serif
- Don't mix accent colors in the same component — each feature gets one accent color
- Don't use box-shadow for elevation on the dark background — use frost borders instead
- Don't skip the OpenType stylistic sets — they define the typographic character
- Don't use negative letter-spacing on nav links — ABC Favorit nav uses positive +0.35px
- Don't make buttons opaque on dark — transparency with frost border is the pattern
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile Small | <480px | Single column, tight padding, 76.8px hero |
| Mobile | 480600px | Standard mobile, stacked layout |
| Desktop | >600px | Full layout, 96px hero, expanded sections |
*Note: Resend uses a minimal breakpoint system — only 480px and 600px detected. The design is desktop-first with a clean mobile collapse.*
### Touch Targets
- Pill buttons: adequate padding (5px 12px minimum)
- Tab items: 8px radius with comfortable hit areas
- Navigation links spaced with 0.35px tracking for visual separation
### Collapsing Strategy
- Hero: Domaine 96px → 76.8px on mobile
- Navigation: horizontal → hamburger
- Feature sections: side-by-side → stacked
- Code panels: maintain width, horizontal scroll if needed
- Spacing compresses proportionally
### Image Behavior
- Product screenshots maintain aspect ratio
- Dark screenshots blend seamlessly with dark background at all sizes
- Rounded corners (12px16px) maintained across breakpoints

### Iteration Guide
1. Start with pure black — everything floats in the void
2. Frost borders (`rgba(214, 235, 253, 0.19)`) are the universal structural element — not gray, not neutral
3. Three fonts, three roles: Domaine (hero), ABC Favorit (sections), Inter (body) — never cross
4. OpenType stylistic sets are mandatory on display fonts — they define the character
5. Multi-color accents at low opacity (1242%) for backgrounds, full opacity for text
6. Pill shape (9999px) for CTAs and badges, standard radius (4px16px) for containers
7. No shadows — use frost borders for depth against the void

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Revolut's website is fintech confidence distilled into pixels — a design system that communicates "your money is in capable hands" through massive typography, generous whitespace, and a disciplined neutral palette. The visual language is built on Aeonik Pro, a geometric grotesque that creates billboard-scale headlines at 136px with weight 500 and aggressive negative tracking (-2.72px). This isn't subtle branding; it's fintech at stadium scale.
The color system is built on a comprehensive `--rui-*` (Revolut UI) token architecture with semantic naming for every state: danger (`#e23b4a`), warning (`#ec7e00`), teal (`#00a87e`), blue (`#494fdf`), deep-pink (`#e61e49`), and more. But the marketing surface itself is remarkably restrained — near-black (`#191c1f`) and pure white (`#ffffff`) dominate, with the colorful semantic tokens reserved for the product interface, not the marketing page.
What distinguishes Revolut is its pill-everything button system. Every button uses 9999px radius — primary dark (`#191c1f`), secondary light (`#f4f4f4`), outlined (`transparent + 2px solid`), and ghost on dark (`rgba(244,244,244,0.1) + 2px solid`). The padding is generous (14px 32px34px), creating large, confident touch targets. Combined with Inter for body text at various weights and positive letter-spacing (0.16px0.24px), the result is a design that feels both premium and accessible — banking for the modern era.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Aeonik Pro display at 136px weight 500 — billboard-scale fintech headlines
- Near-black (`#191c1f`) + white binary with comprehensive `--rui-*` semantic tokens
- Universal pill buttons (9999px radius) with generous padding (14px 32px)
- Inter for body text with positive letter-spacing (0.16px0.24px)
- Rich semantic color system: blue, teal, pink, yellow, green, brown, danger, warning
- Zero shadows detected — depth through color contrast only
- Tight display line-heights (1.00) with relaxed body (1.501.56)
## 2. Color Palette & Roles

- **Cool Gray** (`#8d969e`): Muted text, tertiary
- **Gray Tone** (`#c9c9cd`): `--rui-color-grey-tone-20`, borders/dividers
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Families
- **Display**: `Aeonik Pro` — geometric grotesque, no detected fallbacks
- **Body / UI**: `Inter` — standard system sans
- **Fallback**: `Arial` for specific button contexts
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Mega | Aeonik Pro | 136px (8.50rem) | 500 | 1.00 (tight) | -2.72px | Stadium-scale hero |
| Display Hero | Aeonik Pro | 80px (5.00rem) | 500 | 1.00 (tight) | -0.8px | Primary hero |
| Section Heading | Aeonik Pro | 48px (3.00rem) | 500 | 1.21 (tight) | -0.48px | Feature sections |
| Sub-heading | Aeonik Pro | 40px (2.50rem) | 500 | 1.20 (tight) | -0.4px | Sub-sections |
| Card Title | Aeonik Pro | 32px (2.00rem) | 500 | 1.19 (tight) | -0.32px | Card headings |
| Feature Title | Aeonik Pro | 24px (1.50rem) | 400 | 1.33 | normal | Light headings |
| Nav / UI | Aeonik Pro | 20px (1.25rem) | 500 | 1.40 | normal | Navigation, buttons |
| Body Large | Inter | 18px (1.13rem) | 400 | 1.56 | -0.09px | Introductions |
| Body | Inter | 16px (1.00rem) | 400 | 1.50 | 0.24px | Standard reading |
| Body Semibold | Inter | 16px (1.00rem) | 600 | 1.50 | 0.16px | Emphasized body |
| Body Bold Link | Inter | 16px (1.00rem) | 700 | 1.50 | 0.24px | Bold links |
### Principles
- **Weight 500 as display default**: Aeonik Pro uses medium (500) for ALL headings — no bold. This creates authority through size and tracking, not weight.
- **Billboard tracking**: -2.72px at 136px is extremely compressed — text designed to be read at a glance, like airport signage.
- **Positive tracking on body**: Inter uses +0.16px to +0.24px, creating airy, well-spaced reading text that contrasts with the compressed headings.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
Runway's interface is a cinematic reel brought to life as a website — a dark, editorial, film-production-grade design where full-bleed photography and video ARE the primary UI elements. This is not a typical tech product page; it's a visual manifesto for AI-powered creativity. Every section feels like a frame from a film: dramatic lighting, sweeping landscapes, and intimate human moments captured in high-quality imagery that dominates the viewport.
The design language is built on a single typeface — abcNormal — a clean, geometric sans-serif that handles everything from 48px display headlines to 11px uppercase labels. This single-font commitment creates an extreme typographic uniformity that lets the visual content speak louder than the text. Headlines use tight line-heights (1.0) with negative letter-spacing (-0.9px to -1.2px), creating compressed text blocks that feel like film titles rather than marketing copy.
What makes Runway distinctive is its complete commitment to visual content as design. Rather than illustrating features with icons or diagrams, Runway shows actual AI-generated and AI-enhanced imagery — cars driving through cinematic landscapes, artistic portraits, architectural renders. The interface itself retreats into near-invisibility: minimal borders, zero shadows, subtle cool-gray text, and a dark palette that puts maximum focus on the photography.
**Key Characteristics:**
- Cinematic full-bleed photography and video as primary UI elements
- Single typeface system: abcNormal for everything from display to micro labels
- Dark-dominant palette with cool-toned neutrals (#767d88, #7d848e)
- Zero shadows, minimal borders — the interface is intentionally invisible
- Tight display typography (line-height 1.0) with negative tracking (-0.9px to -1.2px)
- Uppercase labels with positive letter-spacing for navigational structure
- Weight 450 (unusual intermediate) for small uppercase text — precision craft
- Editorial magazine layout with mixed-size image grids
## 2. Color Palette & Roles
### Primary
- **Runway Black** (`#000000`): The primary page background and maximum-emphasis text.
- **Deep Black** (`#030303`): A near-imperceptible variant for layered dark surfaces.
- **Dark Surface** (`#1a1a1a`): Card backgrounds and elevated dark containers.
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Primary text on dark surfaces and light-section backgrounds.
### Surface & Background
- **Near White** (`#fefefe`): The lightest surface — barely distinguishable from pure white.
- **Cool Cloud** (`#e9ecf2`): Light section backgrounds with a cool blue-gray tint.
- **Border Dark** (`#27272a`): The single dark-mode border color — barely visible containment.
### Neutrals & Text
- **Charcoal** (`#404040`): Primary body text on light surfaces and secondary text.
- **Near Charcoal** (`#3f3f3f`): Slightly lighter variant for dark-section secondary text.
- **Cool Slate** (`#767d88`): Secondary body text — a distinctly blue-gray cool neutral.
- **Mid Slate** (`#7d848e`): Tertiary text, metadata descriptions.
- **Muted Gray** (`#a7a7a7`): De-emphasized content, timestamps.
- **Cool Silver** (`#c9ccd1`): Light borders and dividers.
- **Light Silver** (`#d0d4d4`): The lightest border/divider variant.
- **Tailwind Gray** (`#6b7280`): Standard Tailwind neutral for supplementary text.
- **Dark Link** (`#0c0c0c`): Darkest link text — nearly black.
- **Footer Gray** (`#999999`): Footer links and deeply muted content.
### Gradient System
- **None in the interface.** Visual richness comes entirely from photographic content — AI-generated and enhanced imagery provides all the color and gradient the design needs. The interface itself is intentionally colorless.
## 3. Typography Rules
### Font Family
- **Universal**: `abcNormal`, with fallback: `abcNormal Fallback`
*Note: abcNormal is a custom geometric sans-serif. For external implementations, Inter or DM Sans serve as close substitutes.*
### Hierarchy
| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display / Hero | abcNormal | 48px (3rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | -1.2px | Maximum size, film-title presence |
| Section Heading | abcNormal | 40px (2.5rem) | 400 | 1.001.10 | -1px to 0px | Feature section titles |
| Sub-heading | abcNormal | 36px (2.25rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | -0.9px | Secondary section markers |
| Card Title | abcNormal | 24px (1.5rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Article and card headings |
| Feature Title | abcNormal | 20px (1.25rem) | 400 | 1.00 (tight) | normal | Small headings |
| Body / Button | abcNormal | 16px (1rem) | 400600 | 1.301.50 | -0.16px to normal | Standard body, nav links |
| Caption / Label | abcNormal | 14px (0.88rem) | 500600 | 1.251.43 | 0.35px (uppercase) | Metadata, section labels |
| Small | abcNormal | 13px (0.81rem) | 400 | 1.30 (tight) | -0.16px to -0.26px | Compact descriptions |
| Micro / Tag | abcNormal | 11px (0.69rem) | 450 | 1.30 (tight) | normal | Uppercase tags, tiny labels |
### Principles
- **One typeface, complete expression**: abcNormal handles every text role. The design achieves variety through size, weight, case, and letter-spacing rather than font-family switching.
- **Tight everywhere**: Nearly every size uses line-height 1.01.30 — even body text is relatively compressed. This creates a dense, editorial feel.
- **Weight 450 — the precision detail**: Some small uppercase labels use weight 450, an uncommon intermediate between regular (400) and medium (500). This micro-craft signals typographic sophistication.
- **Negative tracking as default**: Even body text uses -0.16px to -0.26px letter-spacing, keeping everything slightly tighter than default.
- **Uppercase as structure**: Labels at 14px and 11px use `text-transform: uppercase` with positive letter-spacing (0.35px) to create navigational signposts that contrast with the tight lowercase text.
## 4. Component Stylings
### Buttons
- Text: weight 600 at 14px abcNormal
- Background: likely transparent or dark, with minimal border
- Radius: small (4px) for button-like links
- The button design is extremely restrained — no heavy fills or borders detected
- Interactive elements blend into the editorial flow
### Cards & Containers
- Background: transparent or Dark Surface (`#1a1a1a`)
- Border: `1px solid #27272a` (dark mode) — barely visible containment
- Radius: small (48px) for functional elements; 16px for alert-style containers
- Shadow: zero — no shadows on any element
- Cards are primarily photographic — the image IS the card
### Navigation
- Minimal horizontal nav — transparent over hero content
- Logo: Runway wordmark in white/black
- Links: abcNormal at 16px, weight 400600
- Hover: text shifts to white or higher opacity
- Extremely subtle — designed to not compete with visual content
### Image Treatment

- Max container width: up to 1600px (cinema-wide)
- Hero: full-viewport, edge-to-edge
- Content sections: centered with generous margins
- Image grids: asymmetric, magazine-style mixed sizes
- Footer: full-width dark section
### Whitespace Philosophy
- **Cinema-grade breathing**: Large vertical gaps between sections create a scrolling experience that feels like watching scenes change.
- **Images replace whitespace**: Where other sites use empty space, Runway fills it with photography. The visual content IS the breathing room.
- **Editorial grid asymmetry**: The image grid uses intentionally varied sizes — large hero images paired with smaller supporting images, creating visual rhythm.
### Border Radius Scale
- Sharp (4px): Buttons, small interactive elements
- Subtle (6px): Links, small containers
- Comfortable (8px): Standard containers, image cards
- Generous (16px): Alert-style containers, featured elements
## 6. Depth & Elevation
| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow, no border | Everything — the dominant state |
| Bordered (Level 1) | `1px solid #27272a` | Alert containers only |
| Dark Section (Level 2) | Dark bg (#000000 / #1a1a1a) with light text | Hero, features, footer |
| Light Section (Level 3) | White/Cool Cloud bg with dark text | Content sections, research |
**Shadow Philosophy**: Runway uses **zero shadows**. This is a film-production design decision — in cinema, depth comes from lighting, focus, and composition, not drop shadows. The interface mirrors this philosophy: depth is communicated through dark/light section alternation, photographic depth-of-field, and overlay transparency — never through CSS box-shadow.
## 7. Do's and Don'ts
### Do
- Use full-bleed cinematic photography as the primary visual element
- Use abcNormal for all text — maintain the single-typeface commitment
- Keep display line-heights at 1.0 with negative letter-spacing for film-title density
- Use the cool-gray neutral palette (#767d88, #7d848e) for secondary text
- Maintain zero shadows — depth comes from photography and section backgrounds
- Use uppercase with letter-spacing for navigational labels (14px, 0.35px spacing)
- Apply small border-radius (48px) — the design is NOT pill-shaped
- Let visual content (photos, videos) dominate — the UI should be invisible
- Use weight 450 for micro labels — the precision matters
### Don't
- Don't add decorative colors to the interface — the only color comes from photography
- Don't use heavy borders or shadows — the interface must be nearly invisible
- Don't use pill-shaped radius — Runway's geometry is subtly rounded, not circular
- Don't use bold (700+) weight — 400600 is the full range, with 450 as a precision tool
- Don't compete with the visual content — text overlays should be minimal and restrained
- Don't use gradient backgrounds in the interface — gradients exist only in photography
- Don't use more than one typeface — abcNormal handles everything
- Don't use body line-height above 1.50 — the tight, editorial feel is core
- Don't reduce image quality — cinematic photography IS the design
## 8. Responsive Behavior
### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | <640px | Single column, stacked images, reduced hero text |
| Tablet | 640768px | 2-column image grids begin |
| Small Desktop | 7681024px | Standard layout |
| Desktop | 10241280px | Full layout, expanded hero |
| Large Desktop | 12801600px | Maximum cinema-width container |
### Touch Targets
- Navigation links at comfortable 16px
- Article cards serve as large touch targets
- Buttons at 14px weight 600 with adequate padding
### Collapsing Strategy
- **Navigation**: Collapses to hamburger on mobile
- **Hero**: Full-bleed maintained, text scales down
- **Image grids**: Multi-column → 2-column → single column
- **Research articles**: Feature-size cards → stacked full-width
- **Trust logos**: Horizontal scroll or reduced grid
### Image Behavior
- Cinematic images scale proportionally
- Full-bleed hero maintained across all sizes
- Image grids reflow to fewer columns
- Video content maintains aspect ratio
## 9. Agent Prompt Guide
### Quick Color Reference
- Background Dark: "Runway Black (#000000)"
- Background Light: "Pure White (#ffffff)"
- Primary Text Dark: "Charcoal (#404040)"
- Secondary Text: "Cool Slate (#767d88)"
- Muted Text: "Muted Gray (#a7a7a7)"
- Light Border: "Cool Silver (#c9ccd1)"
- Dark Border: "Border Dark (#27272a)"
- Card Surface: "Dark Surface (#1a1a1a)"
### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a cinematic hero section: full-bleed dark background with a cinematic image overlay. Headline at 48px abcNormal weight 400, line-height 1.0, letter-spacing -1.2px in white. Minimal text below in Cool Slate (#767d88) at 16px."
- "Design a research article grid: one large card (50% width) with a cinematic image and 24px title, next to two smaller cards stacked. All images with 8px border-radius. Titles in white (dark bg) or Charcoal (#404040, light bg)."
- "Build a section label: 14px abcNormal weight 500, uppercase, letter-spacing 0.35px in Cool Slate (#767d88). No border, no background."
- "Create a trust bar: company logos in monochrome, horizontal layout with generous spacing. On dark background with white/gray logo treatments."
- "Design a mission statement section: Runway Black background, white text at 36px abcNormal, line-height 1.0, letter-spacing -0.9px. Centered, with generous vertical padding."
### Iteration Guide
1. Visual content first — always include cinematic photography
2. Use abcNormal for everything — specify size and weight, never change the font
3. Keep the interface invisible — no heavy borders, no shadows, no bright colors
4. Use the cool slate grays (#767d88, #7d848e) for secondary text — not warm grays
5. Uppercase labels need letter-spacing (0.35px) — never tight uppercase
6. Dark sections should be truly dark (#000000 or #1a1a1a) — no medium grays as surfaces
