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 Risograph design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:
## Absolutely Forbidden
- Complex gradients or realistic shadows
- More than 3-4 colors in total
- Rounded corners (use rounded-sm only)
- Realistic lighting or 3D effects
## Must Follow
- Limited palette: pink #ff6b9d, blue #2563eb, orange #ff8a00, green #22c55e
- Paper-white background bg-[#fffbf0]
- Monospace fonts font-mono
- Offset shadows shadow-[3px_3px_0px_color]
- Bold borders border-2 border-[#1a1a1a]
- Flat colors only, no gradients
## Color Palette
Primary:
- Fluorescent Pink: #ff6b9d
- Blue: #2563eb
- Fluorescent Orange: #ff8a00
- Green: #22c55e
- Paper: #fffbf0
## Special Elements
- Overprint offset effects
- Grain/noise texture overlays
- Halftone dot patterns
- Registration marks as decoration
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Misregistration Offset: Hover must use dual-direction shadows simulating two ink plates out of register: `hover:shadow-[6px_6px_0_#2563eb,-4px_-4px_0_#ff8a00]`. One shadow goes bottom-right (blue plate), the other goes top-left (orange plate). Single-direction shadows break the print illusion.
- Instant Print: All transitions `duration-100 ease-linear` -- mechanical printing press speed. Never use `ease-in-out` or organic curves.
- Overprint Illusion: Active state switches background to the secondary ink color `active:bg-[#2563eb]`, simulating the moment two Riso ink layers fully overlap at the point of contact.
- Registration Shift: Green corner element uses `translate-x-2 -translate-y-2` at rest and `group-hover:translate-x-0 group-hover:translate-y-0 transition-transform duration-100 ease-linear` on hover -- the registration mark locks into place as the press completes its cycle.
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- use complex gradient effects
- use too many colors (maximum 3-4)
- use realistic shadows or lighting effects
- use smooth rounded corner design
- use single-direction shadows (Riso always has two ink plates, shadows must be bidirectional)
- use `ease-in-out` or `ease` (printing press is mechanical, must use `ease-linear`)
- use blur in shadows (all offsets must be zero-blur hard edges)
- use opacity transitions for hover color changes (must be instant printing press switching)
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.
