Monochrome
An ultimate monochrome design in pure black, white, and gray, building visual hierarchy through precise grayscale levels, font-weight contrast, and negative space without relying on any color. Ideal for photography, architecture, and premium brands.

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 designing in Monochrome style.
- Use ONLY grayscale colors: #111111, #333333, #666666, #999999, #cccccc, #e5e5e5, #f5f5f5, #fafafa, #ffffff
- NEVER use any color with hue (no blue, red, green, pink, orange, etc.)
- Build hierarchy with font-weight contrast: font-light for body, font-bold for headings
- Use generous negative space (py-24, px-8) for breathing room
- Borders must be subtle: grayscale borders in the #e5e5e5 to #cccccc range
- No rounded-full, no heavy shadows, no gradients
- Keep corners sharp: rounded-sm or rounded-none
- Uppercase tracking-wider for labels and small text
- Grid-based alignment for all layouts
Animation & Interaction Rules:
- Deliberate Slowness: Interactions should use duration-500 to 700 slow rhythm, avoiding fast jumps.
- Grayscale Breathing: Only allow adjacent grayscale transitions (e.g., #111111 to #2a2a2a), maintaining restraint.
- Line Growth: Prefer thin line extension as interaction hints, reducing large-area contrast switching.
- Static Elevation: Avoid translate and heavy shadows, maintaining a quiet two-dimensional plane feel.Component Templates
