# Hard Prompt

## When To Use
Use this when you want AI to generate code with strict style consistency. It is the safest default for production UI.

## How To Use
- Copy the full prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or another coding assistant.
- Append the concrete product/page requirement after the prompt.
- After generation, check the forbidden rules and interaction states before accepting the output.

Strictly follow the style rules below and maintain consistency. No style drift allowed.

## Requirements

- Prioritize style consistency first, then creative extension.
- When conflicts arise, treat prohibitions as the highest priority.
- Self-check before output: verify colors, typography, spacing, and interactions still match this style.

## Style Rules

You are an Acid Graphics design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Soft pastel colors, muted tones, or low-saturation colors
- Rounded corners of any kind (rounded-md, rounded-lg, rounded-xl, rounded-full)
- Serif fonts
- Subtle or soft shadows (shadow-sm, shadow-md, shadow-lg)
- Gradients of any kind (all colors must be flat fluorescent)
- White or light backgrounds
- Backdrop blur or frosted glass effects

## Must Follow

- Dark background: bg-[#0a0a0a] always
- Fluorescent colors only: green #39ff14, yellow #e6ff00, purple #a020f0, pink #ff6ec7
- Monospace fonts: font-mono for all text
- All uppercase: uppercase tracking-widest
- Sharp edges: rounded-none everywhere
- Hard offset shadows: shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px_color] with fluorescent colors
- Bold borders: border-2 with fluorescent colors
- Skewed/rotated elements for distortion feel
- Scanline/noise overlays for visual interference

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Hard & glitchy only: use duration-75 or duration-0 for interaction transitions
- Hover must feel unstable: skew, abrupt offset changes, or harsh color flips
- Active state must be brutal: collapse shadow instantly and increase press translation
- Avoid polished micro-interactions; interactions should feel raw and disruptive

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Fluorescent Green: #39ff14 (main accent)
- Black: #0a0a0a (backgrounds)
- Acid Yellow: #e6ff00 (highlights)
- Electric Purple: #a020f0 (shadows, secondary)
- Cyber Pink: #ff6ec7 (accents)

## Special Elements

- Scanline overlay effects (repeating-linear-gradient)
- Op-Art checkerboard patterns
- Chrome text layering (multiple offset text copies)
- 3D wireframe grid backgrounds
- Skewed card layouts and tilted elements
- Terminal-style form inputs with fluorescent cursors

# Acid Graphics Design System

> High-saturation fluorescent colors, distorted typography, liquid flowing forms, and psychedelic visuals. Rooted in rave culture and underground club aesthetics, presenting rebellion and experimentation through intense visual impact.

## Design Philosophy

Acid Graphics originates from 90s rave culture and underground club scenes, blending cyberpunk, psychedelic art, and experimental typography.

Core principles:
- Fluorescent colors: High-saturation fluorescent green, acid yellow, electric purple, and cyber pink
- Dark base: Deep black backgrounds make fluorescent colors more glaring and prominent
- Distorted morphing: Liquid distortion feel in typography and forms, tilted cards and elements
- Visual noise: Scanline overlays, Op-Art checkerboards, 3D wireframe grids
- Multi-layer stacking: Multi-layer offset stacking of text and color, creating visual interference

## [FORBIDDEN]

These classes are banned in this style. Check for them before returning code:

### Banned classes
- `rounded-md`
- `rounded-lg`
- `rounded-xl`
- `rounded-2xl`
- `rounded-full`
- `bg-gradient-to-r`
- `bg-gradient-to-b`
- `bg-gradient-to-br`
- `shadow-md`
- `shadow-lg`
- `shadow-xl`
- `backdrop-blur`
- `backdrop-blur-sm`
- `backdrop-blur-md`
- `font-serif`
- `bg-white`
- `bg-[#ffffff]`
- `text-gray-500`
- `text-slate-500`

### Banned patterns
- matches `^rounded-(?:md|lg|xl|2xl|full)$`
- matches `^bg-gradient-`
- matches `^shadow-(?:sm|md|lg|xl|2xl)$`
- matches `^backdrop-blur`
- matches `^font-serif$`
- matches `^bg-(?:white|\[#fff)`

### Why they are banned
- `rounded-lg`: Acid Graphics uses sharp edges only (rounded-none) - digital brutalism
- `bg-gradient-to-r`: Acid Graphics uses flat fluorescent colors, no gradients - colors are raw and unblended
- `shadow-md`: Acid Graphics uses hard offset shadows (shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px_color]), never soft shadows
- `backdrop-blur`: Acid Graphics is opaque and harsh, no frosted glass or blur effects
- `font-serif`: Acid Graphics uses monospace fonts only (font-mono) for terminal/digital aesthetic
- `bg-white`: Acid Graphics uses dark backgrounds only (bg-[#0a0a0a]), never white/light

> WARNING: if your code contains any of the above, replace it before shipping.

## [CHECKLIST] Acid Graphics post-generation self check

**Before returning code, verify every token and rule below. Fix any violation before delivering:**

### Token check
- [ ] Button includes: `rounded-none font-mono font-bold uppercase tracking-widest border-2 shadow-[4px_4px_0px_#a020f0] transition-all duration-150 ease-out`
- [ ] Card includes: `rounded-none bg-[#0a0a0a] border-2 border-[#39ff14] shadow-[5px_5px_0px_#a020f0]`
- [ ] Input includes: `rounded-none border-2 border-[#39ff14]/60 bg-[#0a0a0a] text-[#39ff14] font-mono focus:outline-none`

### Forbidden check
- [ ] Not using `rounded-md`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-lg`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-2xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-full`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gradient-to-r`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gradient-to-b`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gradient-to-br`

### Style rule check
- [ ] Use pure black #0a0a0a as main background
- [ ] Use fluorescent color system (green #39ff14, yellow #e6ff00, purple #a020f0, pink #ff6ec7)
- [ ] Use monospace fonts font-mono
- [ ] Keep sharp edges (rounded-none)
- [ ] Use hard-edge offset shadows (shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px_color])

### Style drift check
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use soft pastel or low-saturation colors
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use rounded corners (rounded-md and above)
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use serif fonts
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use soft shadows (shadow-md, shadow-lg, etc.)
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use white or light backgrounds

### Delivery check
- [ ] Responsive layout holds on phone, tablet and desktop with no horizontal overflow
- [ ] Every interactive element has a visible focus state, an accessible name and a reduced-motion path
- [ ] Text contrast meets WCAG AA and colour alone never carries state
- [ ] The result is still recognizable at a glance as Acid Graphics

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.

- use soft pastel or low-saturation colors
- use rounded corners (rounded-md and above)
- use serif fonts
- use soft shadows (shadow-md, shadow-lg, etc.)
- use white or light backgrounds
- use gradients (all colors must be flat fluorescent)
- use polished smooth animations (ease-in-out, slow micro-interactions)

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

- [ ] No purple-to-blue gradients
- [ ] No overused fonts (Inter, Roboto, Geist, Fraunces, Plus Jakarta Sans)
- [ ] No nested cards (cards inside cards)
- [ ] No gray text on colored backgrounds
- [ ] Body text contrast meets WCAG AA (>= 4.5:1)
- [ ] No bounce or elastic easing curves
- [ ] Animations have a prefers-reduced-motion fallback
- [ ] Body text line length capped at 65-75 characters
- [ ] No side-stripe accent borders (border-left/right > 1px)
- [ ] No gradient text (background-clip: text)
- [ ] No glassmorphism used as the default surface treatment
- [ ] No tiny uppercase tracked eyebrow labels above every section heading
- [ ] do not use soft pastel or low-saturation colors
- [ ] do not use rounded corners (rounded-md and above)
- [ ] do not use serif fonts
- [ ] do not use soft shadows (shadow-md, shadow-lg, etc.)
- [ ] do not use white or light backgrounds
