+ # Mise Configurator
14
+
15
+ ## Overview
16
+
17
+ This skill generates clean, production-ready `mise.toml` configurations for local development environments and CI/CD pipelines.
18
+
19
+ It helps standardize runtime versions, simplify onboarding, replace legacy version managers like `asdf`, `nvm`, and `pyenv`, and create reproducible multi-language environments with minimal setup effort.
20
+
21
+ ## When to Use This Skill
22
+
23
+ - Use when you need to create or update a `mise.toml`
24
+ - Use when working with Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Bun, Terraform, or mixed stacks
25
+ - Use when the user asks about CI/CD runtime setup using mise
26
+ - Use when migrating from `.tool-versions`, `asdf`, `nvm`, or `pyenv`
27
+ - Use when standardizing tool versions across teams or monorepos
28
+
29
+ ## How It Works
30
+
31
+ ### Step 1: Detect Project Context
32
+
33
+ Inspect available repository files such as:
34
+
35
+ - `package.json`
36
+ - `pnpm-lock.yaml`
37
+ - `pyproject.toml`
38
+ - `requirements.txt`
39
+ - `go.mod`
40
+ - `Cargo.toml`
41
+ - `.tool-versions`
42
+ - `Dockerfile`
43
+ - GitHub Actions or CI files
44
+
45
+ Infer languages, package managers, and pinned versions.
46
+
47
+ ### Step 2: Generate `mise.toml`
48
+
49
+ Create a minimal, valid, copy-paste-ready configuration using:
50
+
51
+ - existing pinned versions when found
52
+ - explicit user-provided target versions when absent
53
+ - practical defaults for developer productivity
54
+ - concrete pinned versions in shared production configs
55
+
56
+ ### Step 3: Add Bootstrap Commands
57
+
58
+ Provide setup commands such as:
59
+
60
+ ```bash
61
+ mise trust
62
+ mise install
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ ### Step 4: Generate CI/CD Integration
66
+
67
+ If requested, generate pipeline examples using mise with caching and runtime installation.
68
+
69
+ ## Examples
70
+
71
+ ### Example 1: Node.js + pnpm Project
72
+
73
+ ```toml
74
+ [tools]
75
+ node = "22.11.0"
76
+ pnpm = "9.15.0"
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ ### Example 2: Python + GitHub Actions
80
+
81
+ ```toml
82
+ [tools]
83
+ python = "3.12.7"
84
+ poetry = "1.8.4"
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ ```yaml
88
+ steps:
89
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v4
90
+ - uses: jdx/mise-action@v2
91
+ - run: poetry install
92
+ - run: pytest
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ ## Best Practices
96
+
97
+ - ✅ Respect versions already pinned in the repository
98
+
99
+ - ✅ Keep configs minimal and readable
100
+
101
+ - ✅ Prefer stable runtime releases
102
+
103
+ - ✅ Generate CI examples with caching
104
+
105
+ - ✅ Ask for target versions before pinning when the repository does not already declare them
106
+
107
+ - ❌ Do not use floating `latest` or `lts` aliases in shared production configs unless explicitly requested
108
+
109
+ - ❌ Do not over-engineer unnecessary tool entries
110
+
111
+ - ❌ Do not ignore existing lockfiles or version files
112
+
113
+
114
+ ## Limitations
115
+
116
+ - This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
117
+
118
+ - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or safety boundaries are missing.
119
+
120
+ - Runtime availability may vary by OS, shell, or CI platform.
121
+
122
+ - Some plugins or niche tools may require manual adjustment.
123
+
124
+
125
+ ## Security & Safety Notes
126
+
127
+ - Review generated shell commands before execution.
128
+
129
+ - Confirm CI/CD permissions before modifying pipelines.
130
+
131
+ - Validate runtime versions against production requirements.
132
+
133
+ - Use only in authorized repositories and environments.
134
+
135
+
136
+ ## Common Pitfalls
137
+
138
+ - **Problem:** Wrong runtime version selected
139
+ **Solution:** Check repository lockfiles and pinned versions first.
140
+
141
+ - **Problem:** CI installs are slow
142
+ **Solution:** Enable cache layers and reuse mise cache directories.
143
+
144
+ - **Problem:** Tool missing from registry
145
+ **Solution:** Verify plugin support or install manually.

+ # Not Human Search MCP
15
+
16
+ ## Overview
17
+
18
+ Not Human Search is a remote MCP server that lets AI agents search a curated index of 1,750+ AI-ready websites, inspect indexed site details, submit new sites for analysis, and verify live MCP endpoints via JSON-RPC probe. It is designed for AI agents that need to discover tools, APIs, and services at runtime without relying on hardcoded lists.
19
+
20
+ ## When to Use This Skill
21
+
22
+ - Use when an AI agent needs to discover tools, APIs, or MCP servers for a specific task
23
+ - Use when you want to check whether a website exposes machine-readable endpoints (llms.txt, OpenAPI, MCP)
24
+ - Use when verifying that an MCP endpoint is actually responding to JSON-RPC
25
+ - Use when building agent workflows that need to find and connect to external services dynamically
26
+
27
+ ## MCP Configuration
28
+
29
+ Add the Not Human Search MCP server to your client configuration. The endpoint uses streamable HTTP and requires no authentication.
30
+
31
+ ### Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf
32
+
33
+ ```json
34
+ {
35
+ "mcpServers": {
36
+ "not-human-search": {
37
+ "url": "https://nothumansearch.ai/mcp"
38
+ }
39
+ }
40
+ }
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ No API key or authentication is required.
44
+
45
+ ## Available Tools
46
+
47
+ ### `search_agents`
48
+
49
+ Search the index of 1,750+ AI-ready websites by keyword. Returns ranked results with scores, categories, and available endpoints.
50
+
51
+ ```
52
+ search_agents({ query: "code review tools", limit: 10 })
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ ### `get_site_details`
56
+
57
+ Check a specific domain's AI-readiness score and available machine-readable endpoints.
58
+
59
+ ```
60
+ get_site_details({ domain: "linear.app" })
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ ### `get_stats`
64
+
65
+ Get aggregate index statistics, including total indexed sites, categories, and endpoint coverage.
66
+
67
+ ```
68
+ get_stats({})
69
+ ```
70
+
71
+ ### `submit_site`
72
+
73
+ Submit a URL for crawling and AI-readiness analysis.
74
+
75
+ ```
76
+ submit_site({ url: "https://example.com" })
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ ### `verify_mcp`
80
+
81
+ Verify whether a URL is a live MCP endpoint by sending a JSON-RPC probe and checking for a valid response.
82
+
83
+ ```
84
+ verify_mcp({ url: "https://example.com/mcp" })
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ ### `list_categories`
88
+
89
+ List available discovery categories for narrowing searches.
90
+
91
+ ```
92
+ list_categories({})
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ ### `get_top_sites`
96
+
97
+ Retrieve top-ranked indexed sites.
98
+
99
+ ```
100
+ get_top_sites({ limit: 10 })
101
+ ```
102
+
103
+ ### `register_monitor`
104
+
105
+ Register a domain monitor using a user-provided email address.
106
+
107
+ ```
108
+ register_monitor({ domain: "example.com", email: "user@example.com" })
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ ## Examples
112
+
113
+ ### Example 1: Discover Code Review Tools
114
+
115
+ ```text
116
+ Use @not-human-search-mcp to find code review tools that expose MCP or API endpoints.
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ The agent will call `search_agents({ query: "code review", limit: 10 })` and return ranked results with scores and endpoint details.
120
+
121
+ ### Example 2: Check if a Site is AI-Ready
122
+
123
+ ```text
124
+ Use @not-human-search-mcp to check the AI-readiness of linear.app.
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ The agent will call `get_site_details({ domain: "linear.app" })` and return the site's score breakdown.
128
+
129
+ ### Example 3: Verify an MCP Endpoint
130
+
131
+ ```text
132
+ Use @not-human-search-mcp to verify that https://heliumtrades.com/mcp is a working MCP server.
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ The agent will call `verify_mcp({ url: "https://heliumtrades.com/mcp" })` and confirm whether it responds to JSON-RPC.
136
+
137
+ ## Best Practices
138
+
139
+ - Use `search_agents` for broad discovery, then `get_site_details` for detailed analysis of specific indexed results
140
+ - Use `verify_mcp` to confirm an MCP endpoint is live before wiring it into an agent workflow
141
+ - Use `submit_site` when a relevant site is absent from the index and the user wants it analyzed
142
+ - Use `register_monitor` only with an email address the user explicitly provides for monitoring
143
+ - Combine with other MCP skills to build dynamic tool-discovery pipelines
144
+
145
+ ## Limitations
146
+
147
+ - The search index covers 1,750+ sites and is updated regularly, but may not include every site on the internet.
148
+ - Scoring reflects machine-readable signals (llms.txt, OpenAPI, MCP, structured data) rather than content quality.
149
+ - `verify_mcp` sends a JSON-RPC probe to the target URL; only use it on URLs you expect to be MCP endpoints.
150
+ - `register_monitor` requires a user-provided email address and consent to receive monitoring notifications.

14
+ # Redesign Skill
15
+
16
+ ## When to Use
17
+
18
+ - Use when the user asks to redesign, restyle, modernize, polish, or improve an existing website or app UI.
19
+ - Use when the task is to audit current frontend code and make targeted visual improvements without changing the product architecture.
20
+ - Use when the design feels generic, AI-generated, poorly spaced, visually flat, or missing responsive, interactive, loading, empty, or error states.
21
+
22
+ ## Limitations
23
+
24
+ - This skill upgrades existing UI but does not authorize framework migrations, information-architecture rewrites, or product-scope expansion by default.
25
+ - Preserve working behavior, routing, data flows, accessibility semantics, and tests while making visual changes.
26
+ - Validate redesigned screens in the actual app across supported browsers and viewport sizes before considering the work complete.
27
+
28
+
29
+ ## How This Works
30
+
31
+ When applied to an existing project, follow this sequence:
32
+
33
+ 1. **Scan** — Read the codebase. Identify the framework, styling method (Tailwind, vanilla CSS, styled-components, etc.), and current design patterns.
34
+ 2. **Diagnose** — Run through the audit below. List every generic pattern, weak point, and missing state you find.
35
+ 3. **Fix** — Apply targeted upgrades working with the existing stack. Do not rewrite from scratch. Improve what's there.
36
+
37
+ ## Design Audit
38
+
39
+ ### Typography
40
+
41
+ Check for these problems and fix them:
42
+
43
+ - **Browser default fonts or Inter everywhere.** Replace with a font that has character. Good options: `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, `Satoshi`. For editorial/creative projects, pair a serif header with a sans-serif body.
44
+ - **Headlines lack presence.** Increase size for display text, tighten letter-spacing, reduce line-height. Headlines should feel heavy and intentional.
45
+ - **Body text too wide.** Limit paragraph width to roughly 65 characters. Increase line-height for readability.
46
+ - **Only Regular (400) and Bold (700) weights used.** Introduce Medium (500) and SemiBold (600) for more subtle hierarchy.
47
+ - **Numbers in proportional font.** Use a monospace font or enable tabular figures (`font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`) for data-heavy interfaces.
48
+ - **Missing letter-spacing adjustments.** Use negative tracking for large headers, positive tracking for small caps or labels.
49
+ - **All-caps subheaders everywhere.** Try lowercase italics, sentence case, or small-caps instead.
50
+ - **Orphaned words.** Single words sitting alone on the last line. Fix with `text-wrap: balance` or `text-wrap: pretty`.
51
+
52
+ ### Color and Surfaces
53
+
54
+ - **Pure `#000000` background.** Replace with off-black, dark charcoal, or tinted dark (`#0a0a0a`, `#121212`, or a dark navy).
55
+ - **Oversaturated accent colors.** Keep saturation below 80%. Desaturate accents so they blend with neutrals instead of screaming.
56
+ - **More than one accent color.** Pick one. Remove the rest. Consistency beats variety.
57
+ - **Mixing warm and cool grays.** Stick to one gray family. Tint all grays with a consistent hue (warm or cool, not both).
58
+ - **Purple/blue "AI gradient" aesthetic.** This is the most common AI design fingerprint. Replace with neutral bases and a single, considered accent.
59
+ - **Generic `box-shadow`.** Tint shadows to match the background hue. Use colored shadows (e.g., dark blue shadow on a blue background) instead of pure black at low opacity.
60
+ - **Flat design with zero texture.** Add subtle noise, grain, or micro-patterns to backgrounds. Pure flat vectors feel sterile.
61
+ - **Perfectly even gradients.** Break the uniformity with radial gradients, noise overlays, or mesh gradients instead of standard linear 45-degree fades.
62
+ - **Inconsistent lighting direction.** Audit all shadows to ensure they suggest a single, consistent light source.
63
+ - **Random dark sections in a light mode page (or vice versa).** A single dark-background section breaking an otherwise light page looks like a copy-paste accident. Either commit to a full dark mode or keep a consistent background tone throughout. If contrast is needed, use a slightly darker shade of the same palette — not a sudden jump to `#111` in the middle of a cream page.
64
+ - **Empty, flat sections with no visual depth.** Sections that are just text on a plain background feel unfinished. Add high-quality background imagery (blurred, overlaid, or masked), subtle patterns, or ambient gradients. Use reliable placeholder sources like `https://picsum.photos/seed/{name}/1920/1080` when real assets are not available. Experiment with background images behind hero sections, feature blocks, or CTAs — even a subtle full-width photo at low opacity adds presence.
65
+
66
+ ### Layout
67
+
68
+ - **Everything centered and symmetrical.** Break symmetry with offset margins, mixed aspect ratios, or left-aligned headers over centered content.
69
+ - **Three equal card columns as feature row.** This is the most generic AI layout. Replace with a 2-column zig-zag, asymmetric grid, horizontal scroll, or masonry layout.
70
+ - **Using `height: 100vh` for full-screen sections.** Replace with `min-height: 100dvh` to prevent layout jumping on mobile browsers (iOS Safari viewport bug).
71
+ - **Complex flexbox percentage math.** Replace with CSS Grid for reliable multi-column structures.
72
+ - **No max-width container.** Add a container constraint (around 1200-1440px) with auto margins so content doesn't stretch edge-to-edge on wide screens.
73
+ - **Cards of equal height forced by flexbox.** Allow variable heights or use masonry when content varies in length.
74
+ - **Uniform border-radius on everything.** Vary the radius: tighter on inner elements, softer on containers.
75
+ - **No overlap or depth.** Elements sit flat next to each other. Use negative margins to create layering and visual depth.
76
+ - **Symmetrical vertical padding.** Top and bottom padding are always identical. Adjust optically — bottom padding often needs to be slightly larger.
77
+ - **Dashboard always has a left sidebar.** Try top navigation, a floating command menu, or a collapsible panel instead.
78
+ - **Missing whitespace.** Double the spacing. Let the design breathe. Dense layouts work for data dashboards, not for marketing pages.
79
+ - **Buttons not bottom-aligned in card groups.** When cards have different content lengths, CTAs end up at random heights. Pin buttons to the bottom of each card so they form a clean horizontal line regardless of content above.
80
+ - **Feature lists starting at different vertical positions.** In pricing tables or comparison cards, the list of features should start at the same Y position across all columns. Use consistent spacing above the list or fixed-height title/price blocks.
81
+ - **Inconsistent vertical rhythm in side-by-side elements.** When placing cards, columns, or panels next to each other, align shared elements (titles, descriptions, prices, buttons) across all items. Misaligned baselines make the layout look broken.
82
+ - **Mathematical alignment that looks optically wrong.** Centering by the math doesn't always look centered to the eye. Icons next to text, play buttons in circles, or text in buttons often need 1-2px optical adjustments to feel right.
83
+
84
+ ### Interactivity and States
85
+
86
+ - **No hover states on buttons.** Add background shift, slight scale, or translate on hover.
87
+ - **No active/pressed feedback.** Add a subtle `scale(0.98)` or `translateY(1px)` on press to simulate a physical click.
88
+ - **Instant transitions with zero duration.** Add smooth transitions (200-300ms) to all interactive elements.
89
+ - **Missing focus ring.** Ensure visible focus indicators for keyboard navigation. This is an accessibility requirement, not optional.
90
+ - **No loading states.** Replace generic circular spinners with skeleton loaders that match the layout shape.
91
+ - **No empty states.** An empty dashboard showing nothing is a missed opportunity. Design a composed "getting started" view.
92
+ - **No error states.** Add clear, inline error messages for forms. Do not use `window.alert()`.
93
+ - **Dead links.** Buttons that link to `#`. Either link to real destinations or visually disable them.
94
+ - **No indication of current page in navigation.** Style the active nav link differently so users know where they are.
95
+ - **Scroll jumping.** Anchor clicks jump instantly. Add `scroll-behavior: smooth`.
96
+ - **Animations using `top`, `left`, `width`, `height`.** Switch to `transform` and `opacity` for GPU-accelerated, smooth animation.
97
+
98
+ ### Content
99
+
100
+ - **Generic names like "John Doe" or "Jane Smith".** Use diverse, realistic-sounding names.
101
+ - **Fake round numbers like `99.99%`, `50%`, `$100.00`.** Use organic, messy data: `47.2%`, `$99.00`, `+1 (312) 847-1928`.
102
+ - **Placeholder company names like "Acme Corp", "Nexus", "SmartFlow".** Invent contextual, believable brand names.
103
+ - **AI copywriting cliches.** Never use "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Game-changer", "Delve", "Tapestry", or "In the world of...". Write plain, specific language.
104
+ - **Exclamation marks in success messages.** Remove them. Be confident, not loud.
105
+ - **"Oops!" error messages.** Be direct: "Connection failed. Please try again."
106
+ - **Passive voice.** Use active voice: "We couldn't save your changes" instead of "Mistakes were made."
107
+ - **All blog post dates identical.** Randomize dates to appear real.
108
+ - **Same avatar image for multiple users.** Use unique assets for every distinct person.
109
+ - **Lorem Ipsum.** Never use placeholder latin text. Write real draft copy.
110
+ - **Title Case On Every Header.** Use sentence case instead.
111
+
112
+ ### Component Patterns
113
+
114
+ - **Generic card look (border + shadow + white background).** Remove the border, or use only background color, or use only spacing. Cards should exist only when elevation communicates hierarchy.
115
+ - **Always one filled button + one ghost button.** Add text links or tertiary styles to reduce visual noise.
116
+ - **Pill-shaped "New" and "Beta" badges.** Try square badges, flags, or plain text labels.
117
+ - **Accordion FAQ sections.** Use a side-by-side list, searchable help, or inline progressive disclosure.
118
+ - **3-card carousel testimonials with dots.** Replace with a masonry wall, embedded social posts, or a single rotating quote.
119
+ - **Pricing table with 3 towers.** Highlight the recommended tier with color and emphasis, not just extra height.
120
+ - **Modals for everything.** Use inline editing, slide-over panels, or expandable sections instead of popups for simple actions.
121
+ - **Avatar circles exclusively.** Try squircles or rounded squares for a less generic look.
122
+ - **Light/dark toggle always a sun/moon switch.** Use a dropdown, system preference detection, or integrate it into settings.
123
+ - **Footer link farm with 4 columns.** Simplify. Focus on main navigational paths and legally required links.
124
+
125
+ ### Iconography
126
+
127
+ - **Lucide or Feather icons exclusively.** These are the "default" AI icon choice. Use Phosphor, Heroicons, or a custom set for differentiation.
128
+ - **Rocketship for "Launch", shield for "Security".** Replace cliche metaphors with less obvious icons (bolt, fingerprint, spark, vault).
129
+ - **Inconsistent stroke widths across icons.** Audit all icons and standardize to one stroke weight.
130
+ - **Missing favicon.** Always include a branded favicon.
131
+ - **Stock "diverse team" photos.** Use real team photos, candid shots, or a consistent illustration style instead of uncanny stock imagery.
132
+
133
+ ### Code Quality
134
+
135
+ - **Div soup.** Use semantic HTML: `<nav>`, `<main>`, `<article>`, `<aside>`, `<section>`.
136
+ - **Inline styles mixed with CSS classes.** Move all styling to the project's styling system.
137
+ - **Hardcoded pixel widths.** Use relative units (`%`, `rem`, `em`, `max-width`) for flexible layouts.
138
+ - **Missing alt text on images.** Describe image content for screen readers. Never leave `alt=""` or `alt="image"` on meaningful images.
139
+ - **Arbitrary z-index values like `9999`.** Establish a clean z-index scale in the theme/variables.
140
+ - **Commented-out dead code.** Remove all debug artifacts before shipping.
141
+ - **Import hallucinations.** Check that every import actually exists in `package.json` or the project dependencies.
142
+ - **Missing meta tags.** Add proper `<title>`, `description`, `og:image`, and social sharing meta tags.
143
+
144
+ ### Strategic Omissions (What AI Typically Forgets)
145
+
146
+ - **No legal links.** Add privacy policy and terms of service links in the footer.
147
+ - **No "back" navigation.** Dead ends in user flows. Every page needs a way back.
148
+ - **No custom 404 page.** Design a helpful, branded "page not found" experience.
149
+ - **No form validation.** Add client-side validation for emails, required fields, and format checks.
150
+ - **No "skip to content" link.** Essential for keyboard users. Add a hidden skip-link.
151
+ - **No cookie consent.** If required by jurisdiction, add a compliant consent banner.
152
+
153
+ ## Upgrade Techniques
154
+
155
+ When upgrading a project, pull from these high-impact techniques to replace generic patterns:
156
+
157
+ ### Typography Upgrades
158
+ - **Variable font animation.** Interpolate weight or width on scroll or hover for text that feels alive.
159
+ - **Outlined-to-fill transitions.** Text starts as a stroke outline and fills with color on scroll entry or interaction.
160
+ - **Text mask reveals.** Large typography acting as a window to video or animated imagery behind it.
161
+
162
+ ### Layout Upgrades
163
+ - **Broken grid / asymmetry.** Elements that deliberately ignore column structure — overlapping, bleeding off-screen, or offset with calculated randomness.
164
+ - **Whitespace maximization.** Aggressive use of negative space to force focus on a single element.
165
+ - **Parallax card stacks.** Sections that stick and physically stack over each other during scroll.
166
+ - **Split-screen scroll.** Two halves of the screen sliding in opposite directions.
167
+
168
+ ### Motion Upgrades
169
+ - **Smooth scroll with inertia.** Decouple scrolling from browser defaults for a heavier, cinematic feel.
170
+ - **Staggered entry.** Elements cascade in with slight delays, combining Y-axis translation with opacity fade. Never mount everything at once.
171
+ - **Spring physics.** Replace linear easing with spring-based motion for a natural, weighty feel on all interactive elements.
172
+ - **Scroll-driven reveals.** Content entering through expanding masks, wipes, or draw-on SVG paths tied to scroll progress.
173
+
174
+ ### Surface Upgrades
175
+ - **True glassmorphism.** Go beyond `backdrop-filter: blur`. Add a 1px inner border and a subtle inner shadow to simulate edge refraction.
176
+ - **Spotlight borders.** Card borders that illuminate dynamically under the cursor.
177
+ - **Grain and noise overlays.** A fixed, pointer-events-none overlay with subtle noise to break digital flatness.
178
+ - **Colored, tinted shadows.** Shadows that carry the hue of the background rather than using generic black.
179
+
180
+ ## Fix Priority
181
+
182
+ Apply changes in this order for maximum visual impact with minimum risk:
183
+
184
+ 1. **Font swap** — biggest instant improvement, lowest risk
185
+ 2. **Color palette cleanup** — remove clashing or oversaturated colors
186
+ 3. **Hover and active states** — makes the interface feel alive
187
+ 4. **Layout and spacing** — proper grid, max-width, consistent padding
188
+ 5. **Replace generic components** — swap cliche patterns for modern alternatives
189
+ 6. **Add loading, empty, and error states** — makes it feel finished
190
+ 7. **Polish typography scale and spacing** — the premium final touch
191
+
192
+ ## Rules
193
+
194
+ - Work with the existing tech stack. Do not migrate frameworks or styling libraries.
195
+ - Do not break existing functionality. Test after every change.
196
+ - Before importing any new library, check the project's dependency file first.
197
+ - If the project uses Tailwind, check the version (v3 vs v4) before modifying config.
198
+ - If the project has no framework, use vanilla CSS.
199
+ - Keep changes reviewable and focused. Small, targeted improvements over big rewrites.

+
6
+ ## Configuration — Set Your Style
7
+ Adjust these dials before using this design system. They control how creative, dense, and animated the output should be. Pick the level that fits your project.
8
+
9
+ | Dial | Level | Description |
10
+ |------|-------|-------------|
11
+ | **Creativity** | `8` | `1` = Ultra-minimal, Swiss, silent, monochrome. `5` = Balanced, clean but with personality. `10` = Expressive, editorial, bold typography experiments, inline images in headlines, strong asymmetry. Default: `8` |
12
+ | **Density** | `4` | `1` = Gallery-airy, massive whitespace. `5` = Balanced sections. `10` = Cockpit-dense, data-heavy. Default: `4` |
13
+ | **Variance** | `8` | `1` = Predictable, symmetric grids. `5` = Subtle offsets. `10` = Artsy chaotic, no two sections alike. Default: `8` |
14
+ | **Motion Intent** | `6` | `1` = Static, no animation noted. `5` = Subtle hover/entrance cues. `10` = Cinematic orchestration noted in every component. Default: `6` |
15
+
16
+ > **How to use:** Change the numbers above to match your project's vibe. At **Creativity 1–3**, the system produces clean, quiet, Notion-like interfaces. At **Creativity 7–10**, expect inline image typography, dramatic scale contrast, and strong editorial layouts. The rest of the rules below adapt to your chosen levels.
17
+
18
+ ---
19
+
20
+ ## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere
21
+ A restrained, gallery-airy interface with confident asymmetric layouts and fluid spring-physics motion. The atmosphere is clinical yet warm — like a well-lit architecture studio where every element earns its place through function. Density is balanced (Level 4), variance runs high (Level 8) to prevent symmetrical boredom, and motion is fluid but never theatrical (Level 6). The overall impression: expensive, intentional, alive.
22
+
23
+ ## 2. Color Palette & Roles
24
+ - **Canvas White** (#F9FAFB) — Primary background surface. Warm-neutral, never clinical blue-white
25
+ - **Pure Surface** (#FFFFFF) — Card and container fill. Used with whisper shadow for elevation
26
+ - **Charcoal Ink** (#18181B) — Primary text. Zinc-950 depth — never pure black
27
+ - **Steel Secondary** (#71717A) — Body text, descriptions, metadata. Zinc-500 warmth
28
+ - **Muted Slate** (#94A3B8) — Tertiary text, timestamps, disabled states
29
+ - **Whisper Border** (rgba(226,232,240,0.5)) — Card borders, structural 1px lines. Semi-transparent for depth
30
+ - **Diffused Shadow** (rgba(0,0,0,0.05)) — Card elevation. Wide-spreading, 40px blur, -15px offset. Never harsh
31
+
32
+ ### Accent Selection (Pick ONE per project)
33
+ - **Emerald Signal** (#10B981) — For growth, success, positive data dashboards
34
+ - **Electric Blue** (#3B82F6) — For productivity, SaaS, developer tools
35
+ - **Deep Rose** (#E11D48) — For creative, editorial, fashion-adjacent projects
36
+ - **Amber Warmth** (#F59E0B) — For community, social, warm-toned products
37
+
38
+ ### Banned Colors
39
+ - Purple/Violet neon gradients — the "AI Purple" aesthetic
40
+ - Pure Black (#000000) — always Off-Black or Zinc-950
41
+ - Oversaturated accents above 80% saturation
42
+ - Mixed warm/cool gray systems within one project
43
+
44
+ ## 3. Typography Rules
45
+ - **Display:** `Geist`, `Satoshi`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, or `Outfit` — Track-tight (`-0.025em`), controlled fluid scale, weight-driven hierarchy (700–900). Not screaming. Leading compressed (`1.1`). Alternatives forced — `Inter` is BANNED for premium contexts
46
+ - **Body:** Same family at weight 400 — Relaxed leading (`1.65`), 65ch max-width, Steel Secondary color (#71717A)
47
+ - **Mono:** `Geist Mono` or `JetBrains Mono` — For code blocks, metadata, timestamps. When density exceeds Level 7, all numbers switch to monospace
48
+ - **Scale:** Display at `clamp(2.25rem, 5vw, 3.75rem)`. Body at `1rem/1.125rem`. Mono metadata at `0.8125rem`
49
+
50
+ ### Banned Fonts
51
+ - `Inter` — banned everywhere in premium/creative contexts
52
+ - Generic serif fonts (`Times New Roman`, `Georgia`, `Garamond`, `Palatino`) — BANNED. If serif is needed for editorial/creative, use only distinctive modern serifs like `Fraunces`, `Gambarino`, `Editorial New`, or `Instrument Serif`. Never use default browser serif stacks. Serif is always BANNED in dashboards or software UIs regardless
53
+
54
+ ## 4. Component Stylings
55
+ * **Buttons:** Flat surface, no outer glow. Primary: accent fill with white text. Secondary: ghost/outline. Active state: `-1px translateY` or `scale(0.98)` for tactile push. Hover: subtle background shift, never glow
56
+ * **Cards/Containers:** Generously rounded corners (`2.5rem`). Pure white fill. Whisper border (`1px`, semi-transparent). Diffused shadow (`0 20px 40px -15px rgba(0,0,0,0.05)`). Internal padding `2rem–2.5rem`. Used ONLY when elevation communicates hierarchy — high-density layouts replace cards with `border-top` dividers or negative space
57
+ * **Inputs/Forms:** Label positioned above input. Helper text optional. Error text below in Deep Rose. Focus ring in accent color, `2px` offset. No floating labels. Standard `0.5rem` gap between label-input-error stack
58
+ * **Navigation:** Sleek, sticky. Icons scale on hover (Dock Magnification optional). No hamburger on desktop. Clean horizontal with generous spacing
59
+ * **Loaders:** Skeletal shimmer matching exact layout dimensions and rounded corners. Shifting light reflection across placeholder shapes. Never circular spinners
60
+ * **Empty States:** Composed illustration or icon composition with guidance text. Never just "No data found"
61
+ * **Error States:** Inline, contextual. Red accent underline or border. Clear recovery action
62
+
63
+ ## 5. Hero Section
64
+ The Hero is the first impression — it must be striking, creative, and never generic.
65
+ - **Inline Image Typography:** Embed small, contextual photos or visuals directly between words or letters in the headline. Example: "We build [photo of hands typing] digital [photo of screen] products" — images sit inline at type-height, rounded, acting as visual punctuation between words. This is the signature creative technique
66
+ - **No Overlapping Elements:** Text must never overlap images or other text. Every element has its own clear spatial zone. No z-index stacking of content layers, no absolute-positioned headlines over images. Clean separation always
67
+ - **No Filler Text:** "Scroll to explore", "Swipe down", scroll arrow icons, bouncing chevrons, and any instructional UI chrome are BANNED. The user knows how to scroll. Let the content pull them in naturally
68
+ - **Asymmetric Structure:** Centered Hero layouts are BANNED at this variance level. Use Split Screen (50/50), Left-Aligned text / Right visual, or Asymmetric Whitespace with large empty zones
69
+ - **CTA Restraint:** Maximum one primary CTA button. No secondary "Learn more" links. No redundant micro-copy below the headline
70
+
71
+ ## 6. Layout Principles
72
+ - **Grid-First:** CSS Grid for all structural layouts. Never flexbox percentage math (`calc(33% - 1rem)` is BANNED)
73
+ - **No Overlapping:** Elements must never overlap each other. No absolute-positioned layers stacking content on content. Every element occupies its own grid cell or flow position. Clean, separated spatial zones
74
+ - **Feature Sections:** The "3 equal cards in a row" pattern is BANNED. Use 2-column Zig-Zag, asymmetric Bento grids (2fr 1fr 1fr), or horizontal scroll galleries
75
+ - **Containment:** All content within `max-width: 1400px`, centered. Generous horizontal padding (`1rem` mobile, `2rem` tablet, `4rem` desktop)
76
+ - **Full-Height:** Use `min-height: 100dvh` — never `height: 100vh` (iOS Safari address bar jump)
77
+ - **Bento Architecture:** For feature grids, use Row 1: 3 columns | Row 2: 2 columns (70/30 split). Each tile contains a perpetual micro-animation
78
+
79
+ ## 7. Responsive Rules
80
+ Every screen must work flawlessly across all viewports. **Responsive is not optional — it is a hard requirement. Every single element must be tested at 375px, 768px, and 1440px.**
81
+ - **Mobile-First Collapse (< 768px):** All multi-column layouts collapse to a strict single column. `width: 100%`, `padding: 1rem`, `gap: 1.5rem`. No exceptions
82
+ - **No Horizontal Scroll:** Horizontal overflow on mobile is a critical failure. All elements must fit within viewport width. If any element causes horizontal scroll, the design is broken
83
+ - **Typography Scaling:** Headlines scale down gracefully via `clamp()`. Body text stays `1rem` minimum. Never shrink body below `14px`. Headlines must remain readable on 375px screens
84
+ - **Touch Targets:** All interactive elements minimum `44px` tap target. Generous spacing between clickable items. Buttons must be full-width on mobile
85
+ - **Image Behavior:** Hero and inline images scale proportionally. Inline typography images (photos between words) stack below the headline on mobile instead of inline
86
+ - **Navigation:** Desktop horizontal nav collapses to a clean mobile menu (slide-in or full-screen overlay). No tiny hamburger icons without labels
87
+ - **Cards & Grids:** Bento grids and asymmetric layouts revert to stacked single-column cards with full-width. Maintain internal padding (`1rem`)
88
+ - **Spacing Consistency:** Vertical section gaps reduce proportionally on mobile (`clamp(3rem, 8vw, 6rem)`). Never cramped, never excessively airy
89
+ - **Testing Viewports:** Designs must be verified at: `375px` (iPhone SE), `390px` (iPhone 14), `768px` (iPad), `1024px` (small laptop), `1440px` (desktop)
90
+
91
+ ## 8. Motion & Interaction (Code-Phase Intent)
92
+ > **Note:** Stitch generates static screens — it does not animate. This section documents the **intended motion behavior** so that the coding agent (Antigravity, Cursor, etc.) knows exactly how to implement animations when building the exported design into a live product.
93
+
94
+ - **Physics Engine:** Spring-based exclusively. `stiffness: 100, damping: 20`. No linear easing anywhere. Premium, weighty feel on all interactive elements
95
+ - **Perpetual Micro-Loops:** Every active dashboard component has an infinite-loop state — Pulse on status dots, Typewriter on search bars, Float on feature icons, Shimmer on loading states
96
+ - **Staggered Orchestration:** Lists and grids mount with cascaded delays (`animation-delay: calc(var(--index) * 100ms)`). Waterfall reveals, never instant mount
97
+ - **Layout Transitions:** Smooth re-ordering via shared element IDs. Items swap positions with physics, simulating real-time intelligence
98
+ - **Hardware Rules:** Animate ONLY `transform` and `opacity`. Never `top`, `left`, `width`, `height`. Grain/noise filters on fixed, pointer-events-none pseudo-elements only
99
+ - **Performance:** CPU-heavy perpetual animations isolated in microscopic leaf components. Never trigger parent re-renders. Target 60fps minimum
100
+
101
+ ## 9. Anti-Patterns (Banned)
102
+ - No emojis — anywhere in UI, code, or alt text
103
+ - No `Inter` font — use `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, `Satoshi`
104
+ - No generic serif fonts (`Times New Roman`, `Georgia`, `Garamond`) — if serif is needed, use distinctive modern serifs only (`Fraunces`, `Instrument Serif`)
105
+ - No pure black (`#000000`) — Off-Black or Zinc-950 only
106
+ - No neon outer glows or default box-shadow glows
107
+ - No oversaturated accent colors above 80%
108
+ - No excessive gradient text on large headers
109
+ - No custom mouse cursors
110
+ - No overlapping elements — text never overlaps images or other content. Clean spatial separation always
111
+ - No 3-column equal card layouts for features
112
+ - No centered Hero sections (at this variance level)
113
+ - No filler UI text: "Scroll to explore", "Swipe down", "Discover more below", scroll arrows, bouncing chevrons — all BANNED
114
+ - No generic names: "John Doe", "Sarah Chan", "Acme", "Nexus", "SmartFlow"
115
+ - No fake round numbers: `99.99%`, `50%`, `1234567` — use organic data: `47.2%`, `+1 (312) 847-1928`
116
+ - No AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen", "Revolutionize"
117
+ - No broken Unsplash links — use `picsum.photos/seed/{id}/800/600` or SVG UI Avatars
118
+ - No generic `shadcn/ui` defaults — customize radii, colors, shadows to match this system
119
+ - No `z-index` spam — use only for Navbar, Modal, Overlay layer contexts
120
+ - No `h-screen` — always `min-h-[100dvh]`
121
+ - No circular loading spinners — skeletal shimmer only
