# 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 Cyber Chinese design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Bright white backgrounds
- Soft rounded forms (rounded-lg, rounded-full)
- Omitting neon glow effects
- Overly Western decorative elements
- Emoji

## Must Follow

- Vermilion #d4553a and gold #c9a227 as primary colors
- Neon blue #00d4ff and neon purple #a020f0 as secondary colors
- Dark black background bg-[#0a0a0a]
- Sharp no-rounded-corners rounded-none
- Neon glow effects shadow-[0_0_Xpx_rgba(...)]
- Traditional Chinese pattern elements

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Interaction rhythm should be short and restrained: 180-300ms, preferring combined transitions of transform, box-shadow, and border-color
- Hover focuses on "neon warming": border and glow intensify, allowing 1-2px slight lift, no large displacement
- Active must convey "seal press" feedback: press down 1-3px or slight scale to 0.98, with synchronized glow tightening
- Scan light bands/cloud-motif shimmer should be trigger-based short animations (hover/focus), avoiding infinite loops that create noise
- No spring-bounce, cute jitter, slow fade-in/out, or other interactions conflicting with the bold cyber tone

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Vermilion: #d4553a
- Gold: #c9a227
- Dark Black: #0a0a0a
- Neon Blue: #00d4ff
- Neon Purple: #a020f0

## Special Elements

- Seal patterns
- Dragon-phoenix totems
- Cloud motif decorations
- Lantern forms
- Cyber grid

# Cyber Chinese Design System

> A collision and fusion of traditional Chinese aesthetics with cyberpunk sci-fi -- vermilion and gold paired with neon blue-purple, dragon-phoenix seals intertwined with neon lanterns in a futuristic Eastern fantasy.

## Design Philosophy

Cyber Chinese is a fusion of traditional Chinese aesthetics with cyberpunk sci-fi style, reinterpreting classic Eastern elements with neon light effects on a dark base.

Core principles:
- Ancient meets modern: Traditional vermilion and gold coexist with neon blue and purple
- Eastern future: Dragon-phoenix totems and seal patterns are cyber-reconstructed
- Neon lanterns: Traditional lantern forms emit cybernetic glow
- Sharp lines: Right-angled bold forms embody tech feel

## [FORBIDDEN]

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

### Banned classes
- `rounded-lg`
- `rounded-xl`
- `rounded-2xl`
- `rounded-3xl`
- `rounded-full`
- `bg-white`
- `bg-gray-50`
- `bg-gray-100`
- `text-black`
- `bg-pink-`
- `bg-green-`
- `bg-amber-`
- `shadow-[2px_2px_0px`
- `shadow-[4px_4px_0px`

### Banned patterns
- matches `^rounded-(?:lg|xl|2xl|3xl|full)$`
- matches `^bg-(?:white|gray-[1-3]|pink-|green-|amber-)`
- matches `^text-(?:black|gray-(?:[7-9]))`
- matches `^shadow-\[\d+px_\d+px_0px`

### Why they are banned
- `rounded-lg`: Cyber Chinese uses sharp angular corners (rounded-none) for a futuristic feel
- `rounded-full`: Cyber Chinese avoids soft round shapes in favor of angular design
- `bg-white`: Cyber Chinese uses dark backgrounds with neon and vermilion accents
- `text-black`: Cyber Chinese uses colored neon text on dark backgrounds

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

## [CHECKLIST] Cyber Chinese post-generation self check

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

### Token check
- [ ] Button includes: `rounded-none border border-[#c9a227] shadow-[0_0_16px_rgba(212,85,58,0.5)] transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out font-bold`
- [ ] Card includes: `rounded-none bg-[#0a0a0a]/90 border border-[#d4553a]/40 shadow-[0_0_16px_rgba(212,85,58,0.3)]`
- [ ] Input includes: `rounded-none border border-[#c9a227]/40 bg-[#0a0a0a]/80 text-[#00d4ff] focus:shadow-[0_0_16px_rgba(0,212,255,0.5)] focus:outline-none`

### Forbidden check
- [ ] Not using `rounded-lg`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-2xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-3xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-full`
- [ ] Not using `bg-white`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gray-50`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gray-100`

### Style rule check
- [ ] Use vermilion #d4553a and gold #c9a227 as primary colors
- [ ] Pair with neon blue #00d4ff and neon purple #a020f0
- [ ] Use sharp right-angled no-rounded-corner forms
- [ ] Add neon glow effects
- [ ] Incorporate traditional Chinese pattern elements (seals, cloud motifs)

### Style drift check
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use bright white backgrounds
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use soft rounded forms
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not omit neon glow effects
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use overly Western decorative elements
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use spring-bounce, playful jitter, or large-scale animations

### 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 Cyber Chinese

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use bright white backgrounds
- use soft rounded forms
- omit neon glow effects
- use overly Western decorative elements
- use spring-bounce, playful jitter, or large-scale animations
- use transitions slower than 400ms on control components

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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

- [ ] 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 bright white backgrounds
- [ ] do not use soft rounded forms
- [ ] do not omit neon glow effects
- [ ] do not use overly Western decorative elements
- [ ] do not use spring-bounce, playful jitter, or large-scale animations
