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 Japanese Fresh design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Heavy borders (border-2 or thicker)
- Neon or high-saturation colors
- Dark or black backgrounds
- Bold/heavy font weights (font-bold, font-semibold, font-black)
- Sharp corners (rounded-none, rounded-sm)
- Uppercase text
- Visible shadows (shadow-lg, shadow-xl)
- Crowded layouts without extreme whitespace

## Must Follow

- Rice-white background: bg-[#fafaf8] with optional linen texture
- Ma-based extreme whitespace: py-32+ between sections (this is THE core principle)
- Hairline borders only: border with opacity-30/40, warm neutral #d4d4cf
- Font weight: font-extralight or font-light exclusively
- Single botanical SVG line drawing accent per section
- Bottom-line only inputs with floating labels
- No shadows anywhere -- forms float in whitespace
- Slow transitions: duration-500 for meditative feel
- Warm neutral colors: #d4d4cf borders, #b0b8c4 muted text

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Sky Blue: #64b5f6
- Rice White: #fafaf8
- Mint Green: #98d8c8
- Gentle Pink: #ffb7c5
- Powder Blue: #b8d4e3
- Text: #4a5568
- Secondary text: #7a8a9e
- Muted: #b0b8c4
- Border: #d4d4cf

## Unique Elements

- Ma-based extreme whitespace (py-32+ sections)
- Hairline 0.5px borders at 30% opacity
- Botanical line-drawing SVG accents (one per section)
- Bottom-line only input fields with floating labels
- Linen/paper texture background pattern

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Weightless Float: Hover allows only extremely light upward float (about 0.5px), avoiding heavy shadows and large displacement.
- Airy Transitions: Color changes use duration-500 + ease-in-out, appearing slowly like morning mist.
- Subtle Focus: Form focus only adjusts hairline border color, no thick rings or strong glow.
- Tactile Click: Active state prioritizes subtle opacity and background layer adjustments, no obvious scaling.

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use bold or heavy font weights (font-bold, font-semibold)
- use uppercase text -- it is too aggressive for this aesthetic
- use border-2 or thicker -- only hairline borders
- use visible shadows (shadow-lg/xl) -- elements float without weight
- use dark or black backgrounds
- use sharp corners (rounded-none) -- always gentle rounded-lg/xl
- crowd sections together -- maintain extreme breathing room
- use fast, abrupt interaction transitions under 200ms

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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

FAQ

Japanese Fresh — Frequently Asked Questions

01What is the Japanese Fresh design style?
Centered on Ma (space) philosophy, wabi-sabi aesthetics, and extreme breathing room, using hairline borders, botanical line-drawing accents, and minimal warm neutral colors to create a serene, healing design experience. Its core principle: Japanese Fresh embodies Ma (space between) and wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection).
02What colors does Japanese Fresh use?
Japanese Fresh uses #64b5f6 as its primary color and #fafaf8 as its secondary color, with accent colors #98d8c8, #ffb7c5, #b8d4e3, #b0cdf3. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.
03How do I apply Japanese Fresh correctly?
Key practices: Use extreme whitespace (py-32, py-40) between sections -- Ma is the primary design tool. Use only hairline borders (border with opacity-30, never border-2). Include one delicate botanical SVG line drawing per major section.
04What are common mistakes with Japanese Fresh?
Avoid: Never use bold or heavy font weights (font-bold, font-semibold). Never use uppercase text -- it is too aggressive for this aesthetic. Never use border-2 or thicker -- only hairline borders.
05How do I prompt AI to generate Japanese Fresh 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: Japanese minimalism, wabi-sabi, Ma spacing, japandi.
