Primary Move
Use dark indigo backgrounds (bg-[#080814])
Watch Out
No soft pastel colors
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
You are a Cyber Wafuu design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:
## Absolutely Forbidden
- Soft pastel colors
- Organic irregular shapes
- Western serif fonts
- rounded-full borders
- Light backgrounds (bg-white, bg-gray-50, etc.)
- Standard drop shadows (use glow effects only)
## Must Follow
- Dark indigo backgrounds: bg-[#080814] or bg-[#1e3a5f]
- Seigaiha wave pattern as background texture (repeating-radial-gradient)
- Shoji screen grid frame structure for cards
- Kintsugi gold crack lines as border accents
- Torii gate shapes for navigation frames
- Circuit trace line connections between elements
- Electric blue accent: #38bdf8 with glow effects
- Vermillion #c41e3a and gold #c9a227 for traditional accents
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Motion should feel ceremonial and precise, not playful: keep transitions in the 200-320ms range with ease-out
- Hover should use subtle lift (1-2px), circuit-glow expansion, and shoji line brightening
- Active states should compress gently (press-down 1px or scale 0.98-0.99) while tightening glow
- Prefer directional sweeps (circuit trace / wave shimmer) triggered by hover or focus, then stop
- Avoid infinite decorative loops on core controls, bounce springs, or oversized transforms that break the calm discipline
## Color Palette
Primary:
- Indigo: #1e3a5f
- Dark Background: #080814
- Vermillion: #c41e3a
- Gold Foil: #c9a227
- Electric Blue: #38bdf8
## Unique Elements
- Seigaiha wave pattern (CSS repeating-radial-gradient)
- Kintsugi gold crack line accents (gradient border decorations)
- Shoji screen grid card frames (CSS grid overlays)
- Torii gate navigation frames
- Asanoha hemp leaf pattern background

# Cyber Wafuu Design System
> A Japanese cyber aesthetic where seigaiha wave patterns merge with circuit traces, torii gate navigation frames, asanoha hemp leaf grids, kintsugi gold repair lines, and shoji screen grid panels -- traditional patterns 'hacked' by technology.
## Design Philosophy
Cyber Wafuu reimagines traditional Japanese visual culture through digital disruption, creating a sophisticated fusion where heritage patterns are "hacked" by technology.
Core principles:
- Seigaiha digital waves: The classic wave pattern overlaid with circuit board traces
- Torii gate navigation: Sacred gate structure reborn as navigation frames
- Asanoha grid: Hemp leaf geometric grid as layout scaffolding
- Kintsugi gold repair: Golden crack lines as decorative borders and accents
- Shoji screen panels: Traditional sliding door grids as card frame systems
- Cherry blossom + neon: Organic sakura forms outlined in electric light
- Pattern collision: Traditional repeating patterns visibly intersecting with digital traces

## [FORBIDDEN]
These classes are banned in this style. Check for them before returning code:
### Banned classes
- `rounded-full`
- `rounded-2xl`
- `rounded-xl`
- `rounded-lg`
- `bg-white`
- `bg-gray-50`
- `bg-gray-100`
- `font-serif`
- `shadow-md`
- `shadow-lg`
- `shadow-xl`
- `bg-pink-100`
- `bg-pink-50`
- `bg-rose-50`
### Banned patterns
- matches `^rounded-(?:full|2xl|xl|lg)$`
- matches `^bg-(?:white|gray-(?:50|100))$`
- matches `^bg-(?:pink|rose)-(?:50|100|200)$`
- matches `^font-serif$`
- matches `^shadow-(?:md|lg|xl)$`
### Why they are banned
- `rounded-full`: Cyber Wafuu uses sharp shoji-grid geometry, no rounded shapes
- `bg-white`: Cyber Wafuu requires dark indigo backgrounds
- `font-serif`: Cyber Wafuu uses clean geometric sans-serif fonts
- `shadow-md`: Use seigaiha-pattern glow shadows instead of soft shadows
> WARNING: if your code contains any of the above, replace it before shipping.

## [CHECKLIST] Cyber Wafuu post-generation self check
**Before returning code, verify every token and rule below. Fix any violation before delivering:**
### Token check
- [ ] Button includes: `font-sans font-semibold tracking-wider border border-[#1e3a5f]/60 transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out`
- [ ] Card includes: `bg-[#080814] border border-[#1e3a5f]/30 transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out`
- [ ] Input includes: `bg-[#080814] border border-[#1e3a5f]/30 text-[#e2e8f0] font-sans focus:outline-none`
### Forbidden check
- [ ] Not using `rounded-full`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-2xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-xl`
- [ ] Not using `rounded-lg`
- [ ] Not using `bg-white`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gray-50`
- [ ] Not using `bg-gray-100`
- [ ] Not using `font-serif`
### Style rule check
- [ ] Use dark indigo backgrounds (bg-[#080814])
- [ ] Add seigaiha wave pattern backgrounds with CSS repeating-radial-gradient
- [ ] Use shoji screen grid as card frame structure
- [ ] Apply kintsugi gold crack line borders and accents
- [ ] Use torii gate shape for navigation framing
### Style drift check
- [ ] Does not violate: No soft pastel colors
- [ ] Does not violate: No organic irregular rounded shapes
- [ ] Does not violate: No Western serif fonts
- [ ] Does not violate: No rounded-full borders
- [ ] Does not violate: No light backgrounds (bg-white, bg-gray-50)
### 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 Wafuu
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- soft pastel colors
- organic irregular rounded shapes
- Western serif fonts
- rounded-full borders
- light backgrounds (bg-white, bg-gray-50)
- bouncy spring motion or large scale transforms
- slow dreamy transitions beyond 320ms on interactive controls
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.
- [ ] No purple-to-blue gradients
- [ ] 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
- [ ] no soft pastel colors
- [ ] no organic irregular rounded shapes
- [ ] no Western serif fonts
- [ ] no rounded-full borders
- [ ] no light backgrounds (bg-white, bg-gray-50)More prompt libraries: All UI Prompts · Tailwind UI Prompts · Dark Mode UI Prompts
