# 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

STYLE: Paper Craft
TYPE: Handmade paper art interface

MUST USE:
- Warm paper background: bg-[#fdf6ee]
- Paper offset shadows: shadow-[4px_4px_0px_rgba(0,0,0,0.08)]
- Bright craft colors: #e85d75, #5cb8a5, #f5c040, #6b7fb5
- Rounded corners: rounded-xl or rounded-2xl
- Slight rotations: rotate-[1deg] for playful paper feel
- Layered paper effect: multiple stacked divs with rotation
- Dark text on light: text-[#2d2d2d]
- Lift on hover: hover:-translate-y-1

MUST AVOID:
- Dark/black backgrounds
- Neon or glow effects
- Metallic or glass effects
- Sharp precise corners
- Fluorescent colors
- Drop-shadow filters (use box-shadow)
- Gradient glows

COLOR RULES:
- Craft Red: #e85d75 (primary)
- Paper White: #fdf6ee (background)
- Paper Teal: #5cb8a5
- Paper Yellow: #f5c040
- Paper Blue: #6b7fb5
- Text: #2d2d2d

SPECIAL EFFECTS:
- Multi-layer paper stacking with rotation offsets
- Inset shadows for cut-out/embossed feel
- Active press-down: active:translate-y-0.5
- Paper texture overlay for authenticity

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Layer Separation: Multi-layer paper pieces on hover should fan out slightly in different directions, with increased inter-layer shadow offset.
- Crisp Cutouts: Input focus or active feedback can deepen inset shadows, simulating cardboard cutout depth.
- Stiff Paper Feel: Interactions use duration-200/300 + ease-out, avoiding spring elasticity.
- Offset Lift: When elements shift, shadow offset should increase in sync, maintaining physical consistency of paper lifting off the surface.

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use dark/black backgrounds
- use glow effects or neon shadows
- use metallic textures or glassmorphism
- use overly precise right-angle edges (looks too digital)
- use high-saturation fluorescent colors
- use gradient glow effects
- use drop-shadow filters (use box-shadow to simulate paper shadows)
- use spring bounce curves (paper is light but not rubbery)

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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