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 a Cottagecore design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:
## Absolutely Forbidden
- Cold blue-gray tones
- Sharp corners or hard angular borders
- Neon or high-saturation fluorescent colors
- Tech or industrial style elements
## Must Follow
- Warm earth tones: green #5a8f5a, yellow #f5d75f, brown #8b7355, pink #d4a0a0
- Cream/linen backgrounds bg-[#faf6f0]
- Serif fonts for headings font-serif
- Rounded corners rounded-full, rounded-2xl, rounded-xl
- Soft shadows shadow-md, shadow-lg
## Color Palette
Primary:
- Grass Green: #5a8f5a
- Daisy Yellow: #f5d75f
- Earth Brown: #8b7355
- Flower Pink: #d4a0a0
- Cream: #faf6f0
## Special Elements
- Floral and botanical decorations
- Linen/paper texture backgrounds
- Hand-drawn or embroidery style accents
- Mushroom and berry motifs
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Gentle & Breezy: Animation rhythm should be soft and soothing, preferring `duration-500` to `duration-700` with `ease-in-out`.
- Handmade Imperfection: Hover may include very slight rotation (recommended no more than 1deg) and small scaling, avoiding mechanical straight up-and-down motion.
- Soft Cushion Press: Click feedback should be a gentle press, recommended `active:scale-[0.97]`; `0.95` only for large elements to avoid looking cartoonish.
- Botanical Sway: Decorative floral/leaf icons may sway slightly on hover, but amplitude must be restrained -- no obvious shaking animations.
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- use cold blue-gray tones
- use sharp right angles and hard borders
- use neon or high-saturation fluorescent colors
- use tech-feel or industrial-style elements
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.
