AI Implementation

Copy the Hard Prompt first, then use the spec when needed

Use the Hard Prompt by default to generate UI. Use the Design Spec to understand, modify, and review the style. Use the Creative Brief for early exploration.

Hard Prompt

Use this by default: copy it, append the concrete requirement, and let AI generate consistent production UI.

When to use

  • -When AI should generate UI directly
  • -When repeated outputs must stay consistent
  • -When style drift is the main risk

How to use

  • -Copy the full prompt
  • -Append the concrete requirement
  • -Review against forbidden rules and UI states

# 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 Anti-Design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

Absolutely Forbidden:
- Rounded corners of any kind (rounded-sm, rounded-md, rounded-lg, rounded-xl, rounded-full)
- Subtle or muted colors (grays, pastels, earth tones)
- Soft shadows (shadow-sm, shadow-md, shadow-lg, shadow-xl)
- Gradients of any kind (all colors must be flat high-saturation)
- Backdrop blur or translucency effects
- Consistent spacing or alignment that looks "designed"
- Harmonious color combinations

Must Follow:
- Borders: Always 4-8px solid black. Thicker on right and bottom for depth
- Border-radius: ALWAYS 0. Never round anything
- Colors: Only high-saturation primaries - #FF0000, #0000FF, #FFFF00, #FF00FF, #00FF00, #00FFFF
- Backgrounds: Alternate between white, yellow, and other bright colors per section
- Shadows: Hard offset only (e.g., shadow-[8px_8px_0_#000]). No soft shadows
- Text: Mix sizes dramatically. Use font-black weight. Uppercase for emphasis
- Layout: Intentionally break grid alignment. Rotate elements (-3deg to 5deg)

Animation & Interaction Rules:
- Aggressive hover only: abrupt color collisions, border-thickness jumps, and harsh offsets
- Broken layout on interaction is encouraged: alignment can intentionally fail on hover/focus
- Zero polish: use transition-none or linear with near-zero duration; no smooth easing curves
- Focus states should be louder than default states (thicker borders, stronger shadows, rotation/shift)

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use rounded corners of any kind
- use subtle or muted colors
- use consistent spacing or alignment
- use drop shadows or soft shadows
- use gradients (flat colors only)
- make things pretty or harmonious
- use backdrop-blur or translucency
- use smooth polished easing (ease-in-out, spring, bounce)

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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

FAQ

Anti-Design — Frequently Asked Questions

01What is the Anti-Design design style?
An experimental brutalist style that deliberately breaks traditional UI conventions, with ultra-thick borders, high-saturation colors, and irregular typography. Its core principle: Anti-Design deliberately breaks every UI convention.
02What colors does Anti-Design use?

03How do I apply Anti-Design correctly?
Key practices: Use ultra-thick black borders (4-8px) on everything. Use sharp corners only (border-radius: 0). Apply high-saturation primary colors (red, blue, yellow, magenta).
04What are common mistakes with Anti-Design?
Avoid: Don't use rounded corners of any kind. Don't use subtle or muted colors. Don't use consistent spacing or alignment.
05How do I prompt AI to generate Anti-Design UI?
Copy the ready-made AI prompt on this page — it bundles the design tokens and component rules — and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or v0. Effective prompts include the keywords: anti-design, brutalist web design, neo brutalism, punk aesthetic.
