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 Asymmetric Grid layout expert. Generated code must follow:
## Layout Rules
- Use CSS Grid 12-column system, but column widths must be unequal
- Allow element overlap, use z-index to control layering
- Use -translate to create offset effects
- Maintain visual tension: large whitespace areas contrasting with dense regions
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Spatial Tension: On hover, significantly raise z-index (z-50) and use scale-105, making elements "jump" to the foreground from the chaotic grid.
- Hard Popping: Use crisp ease-out with duration-200 to duration-300, paired with high-contrast hard shadows (shadow-[8px_8px_0px_color]).
- Parallax Content: Card internal titles, labels, and descriptions displace with different delays (delay-75, delay-100) and translate distances on hover, creating typographic offset.
- Physical Feedback: Active state resets translate and shadow to zero, simulating press-and-bounce-back.
## Forbidden
- Symmetric layouts with all equal column widths
- Rounded design (rounded-lg, rounded-xl)
- Soft shadows (shadow-sm, shadow-md)
- Transitions exceeding duration-300
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- perfectly equal column widths
- neatly aligned elements without variation
- ignoring mobile responsive adjustments
- excessive clutter that loses readability
- elements all similar in size
- soft shadows (shadow-sm, shadow-md)
- overly long duration (not exceeding 300ms)
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

FAQ
Asymmetric Grid — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Asymmetric Grid design style?
- A layout approach that breaks traditional symmetric grids, creating dynamic and engaging page structures through irregular column widths, overlapping elements, and visual tension. Ideal for creative portfolios, art exhibitions, and brand showcases. Its core principle: Asymmetric Grid breaks the even distribution of traditional grids, creating visual tension through unequal column widths, element overlap, and whitespace contrast.
- What colors does Asymmetric Grid use?
- Asymmetric Grid uses #0f0f0f as its primary color and #ffffff as its secondary color, with accent colors #ff3366, #00d4ff, #ffcc00, #b45700. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.
- How do I apply Asymmetric Grid correctly?
- Key practices: Use CSS Grid grid-template-columns to define unequal column widths. Allow elements to span multiple columns and rows col-span-2 row-span-3. Use -translate and z-index to create overlap effects.
- What are common mistakes with Asymmetric Grid?
- Avoid: No perfectly equal column widths. No neatly aligned elements without variation. No ignoring mobile responsive adjustments.
- How do I prompt AI to generate Asymmetric Grid 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: asymmetric grid, broken grid layout, asymmetrical layout, irregular grid.
