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

# 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
STYLE: Arcade CRT
TYPE: Retro gaming CRT monitor aesthetic
MUST USE:
- Background: Always near-black (#050505 or #0a0a0a)
- Primary accent: Neon green (#39ff14) for main interactive elements
- Secondary accents: Magenta (#ff00ff), Cyan (#00ffff), Red (#ff2a2a), Yellow (#FFFF00)
- All text must use monospace or pixel fonts (font-mono)
- Scanline overlay: repeating-linear-gradient on content areas
- RGB chromatic aberration: text-shadow with offset magenta and cyan on headlines
- Neon glow: box-shadow with color matching the element
- uppercase text with wide letter-spacing for labels
MUST AVOID:
- Light/white backgrounds
- Pastel or muted colors
- Serif or sans-serif fonts
- Large border-radius (max 4px)
- Subtle/standard shadows (use neon glow only)
- Gradients that aren't neon-to-dark
Animation & Interaction Rules:
- Neon Breathing: On hover, outer glow (box-shadow) must visibly expand, optionally with subtle animate-pulse to simulate voltage instability flicker.
- Arcade Button Press: Active state (:active) must simulate the feel of a real arcade button being slammed down hard. Use strong displacement active:translate-y-[4px] and instantly change shadow size.
- CRT Distortion: On interaction, RGB chromatic aberration can be amplified by changing text-shadow offsets (magenta and cyan separation distance).
- Instant Feedback: CRT has no smooth physical inertia; interaction response time should be short, such as duration-100 or duration-150.Component Templates
