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 Glitch Art design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints.

## Language

- All UI copy, button text, labels, placeholders, and aria-labels in Chinese
- Code comments in Chinese
- Variable names and classNames remain in English

## Color System

Palette is strictly CMY + black/white -- no other decorative colors allowed:
- Cyan #00ffff: primary accent, text, links, focus borders
- Magenta #ff00ff: secondary accent, labels, error states, left-border markers
- Yellow #ffff00: tertiary accent, warnings, highlights, hover jump color
- Red #ff0000: danger/urgent status indicators only
- Black #0a0a0a: all backgrounds, no other dark shades
- White #ffffff: body text at low opacity (text-white/40 ~ text-white/70)
- Gray #333333: dividers, disabled state, placeholders

## Typography

- Monospace only: font-mono everywhere, never font-sans / font-serif
- Headings: font-black uppercase tracking-widest or tracking-[0.2em], text-2xl ~ text-8xl
- Body: text-sm leading-relaxed, color text-white/40 or text-[#a0a0a0]
- Labels/status: text-xs font-bold uppercase tracking-wider
- Line height: headings leading-tight (1.1), body leading-relaxed (1.5)

## Layout & Spacing

- Container: max-w-7xl mx-auto px-6 md:px-12
- Section vertical spacing: py-12 md:py-16, separated by border-b border-[#333333]
- Card padding: p-6 ~ p-8
- Element spacing: space-y-3 ~ space-y-4 (lists), gap-4 ~ gap-8 (grids)
- Grid layout: grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 gap-6

## Core Visual Techniques

1. RGB channel split (mandatory):
   - Default: [text-shadow:3px_0_#ff00ff,-3px_0_#00ffff]
   - Hover amplified: [text-shadow:6px_0_#ff00ff,-6px_0_#00ffff]
   - Apply to all headings and interactive elements

2. Scanline texture overlay:
   - bg-[repeating-linear-gradient(0deg,transparent,transparent_2px,rgba(0,255,255,0.03)_2px,rgba(0,255,255,0.03)_4px)]
   - As absolute inset-0 pseudo-layer, pointer-events-none

3. Solid-block offset shadows (replace all standard shadows):
   - Buttons: shadow-[4px_4px_0_#ff00ff], hover invert shadow-[-4px_-4px_0_#ffff00]
   - Focus: shadow-[4px_4px_0_#ff00ff,-4px_-4px_0_#00ffff]
   - Never use shadow-sm / shadow-md / shadow-lg

4. Left-border markers (cards):
   - border-l-4 ~ border-l-8 border-[#ff00ff]
   - Hover swap: hover:border-[#00ffff]

5. Horizontal displacement bands: full-width color bars crossing elements
6. Data corruption blocks: scattered semi-transparent color rectangles

## Interaction Rules

- All state changes use transition-none to simulate frame drops, no smooth transitions
- Hover trio:
  1. Rapid foreground/background inversion (e.g., hover:bg-[#00ffff] hover:text-[#0a0a0a])
  2. RGB offset amplified to 6px
  3. Micro-shift hover:translate-x-1 or hover:-translate-x-1
- Active tear: active:skew-x-[-15deg] active:scale-y-90 active:shadow-none
- Focus: focus:border-[#00ffff] + solid-block offset shadow, focus:outline-none

## Responsive Design

- Heading size progression: text-2xl md:text-4xl lg:text-6xl
- Layout breakpoint switch: flex-col md:flex-row
- Spacing progression: px-6 md:px-12, py-8 md:py-16
- Hero minimum height: min-h-[60vh]

## Component Pattern Quick Reference

- Button: bg-[#0a0a0a] border-2 border-[#00ffff] + solid-block shadow + transition-none + active tear
- Card: bg-[#0a0a0a] border-l-8 + scanline pseudo-layer + group hover linkage
- Input: bg-[#0a0a0a] border-2 border-[#333333] + focus cyan border + offset shadow
- Nav: border-b-4 border-[#ff00ff] + hover skew-distorted links
- Status indicator: w-3 h-3 solid color block + hover color swap + animate-ping

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Any rounded corners (rounded-lg/xl/full) -- rounded-none only
- Standard soft shadows (shadow-sm/md/lg) -- solid-block offset shadows only
- Serif or sans-serif fonts -- font-mono exclusively
- Frosted glass (backdrop-blur)
- Smooth transition curves (ease-in-out, spring, duration-300+)
- Any color outside CMY + red + black/white/gray
- Gradient backgrounds (linear-gradient only for scanline textures)

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use border-radius; all corners must be perfectly sharp.
- smooth transitions (duration-*, ease-in-out); animation should feel like dropped frames.
- use soft, blurred shadows (shadow-sm/md/lg); all shadows must be solid blocks of color.
- use frosted glass (backdrop-blur) or soft gradient backgrounds.
- use decorative colors outside CMY (no pastels, earth tones, or warm hues).
- use serif or sans-serif fonts; only monospace is allowed.

## 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
- [ ] never use border-radius; all corners must be perfectly sharp.
- [ ] avoid smooth transitions (duration-*, ease-in-out); animation should feel like dropped frames.
- [ ] do not use soft, blurred shadows (shadow-sm/md/lg); all shadows must be solid blocks of color.
- [ ] do not use frosted glass (backdrop-blur) or soft gradient backgrounds.
- [ ] do not use decorative colors outside CMY (no pastels, earth tones, or warm hues).

FAQ

Glitch Art — Frequently Asked Questions

01What is the Glitch Art design style?
An avant-garde cyberpunk aesthetic that embraces digital errors, severe chromatic aberration, and jarring screen-tearing effects. Its core principle: Perfection is a digital illusion.
02What colors does Glitch Art use?
Glitch Art uses #00ffff as its primary color and #0a0a0a as its secondary color, with accent colors #ff00ff, #ffff00, #ffffff, #ff0506. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.
03How do I apply Glitch Art correctly?
Key practices: Use monospace fonts exclusively for a terminal/code feel. Apply arbitrary Tailwind text-shadows (e.g., [text-shadow:3px_0_#ff00ff,-3px_0_#00ffff]) to simulate RGB color splitting. Use transition-none for all state changes to create jarring, broken effects.
04What are common mistakes with Glitch Art?
Avoid: Never use border-radius; all corners must be perfectly sharp. Avoid smooth transitions (duration-*, ease-in-out); animation should feel like dropped frames. Do not use soft, blurred shadows (shadow-sm/md/lg); all shadows must be solid blocks of color.
05How do I prompt AI to generate Glitch Art 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: glitch art, glitch effect, RGB split, chromatic aberration.
