Primary Move
Use real material textures (leather, wood, metal)
Watch Out
Do NOT use flat solid color blocks
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 Skeuomorphism design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:
## Absolute Prohibitions
- Using flat solid color blocks
- Omitting shadow and highlight effects
- Using overly simplified icons
- Ignoring material and texture details
## Must Follow
- Gradient backgrounds bg-gradient-to-b from-gray-100 to-gray-300
- Complex shadows shadow-[0_4px_8px_rgba(0,0,0,0.3),inset_0_1px_0_rgba(255,255,255,0.8)]
- Border layers border border-gray-400
- Moderate radii rounded-lg
- Press feedback active:translate-y-[1px]
## Color Palette
- Use natural material tones
- Leather brown: #8b7355
- Wood beige: #d4c4a8
- Metal silver: #c0c0c0
- Paper white: #f5f5dc
## Light & Shadow Principles
- Top highlight (inset 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.8))
- Bottom dark edge (inset 0 -1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.1))
- Outer drop shadow (0 4px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.3))
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Tactile Resistance: Active state uses short press and tighter outer shadow, simulating key damping, no bouncy scaling.
- Fixed Illuminant: Top highlight and bottom dark edge remain stable in hover and active, ensuring light source always comes from above.
- Texture Shimmer: Material layer allows slight background-position shift, expressing light changes on brushed metal or leather texture.
- Embossed Focus: Input focus prioritizes deepening inset shadow rather than strong outer glow outline.
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- use flat solid color blocks
- omit shadows and highlights
- use overly simplified icons
- ignore material and texture details
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

FAQ
Skeuomorphism — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Skeuomorphism design style?
- A digital design style that simulates real-world objects through textures, lighting, and materials to mimic physical items, bringing familiarity and intuitive experiences. Its core principle: Skeuomorphism is a design approach that simulates the appearance and behavior of real-world objects, widely used in early iOS and digital products.
- What colors does Skeuomorphism use?
- Skeuomorphism uses #8b7355 as its primary color and #d4c4a8 as its secondary color, with accent colors #c9a227, #5c4033, #2e5a3c, #4bc542. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.
- How do I apply Skeuomorphism correctly?
- Key practices: Use real material textures (leather, wood, metal). Add realistic light and shadow effects. Simulate physical button press feedback.
- What are common mistakes with Skeuomorphism?
- Avoid: Do NOT use flat solid color blocks. Do NOT omit shadows and highlights. Do NOT use overly simplified icons.
- How do I prompt AI to generate Skeuomorphism 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: skeuomorphism, skeuomorphic design, realistic ui, 3D buttons.
