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
STYLE: Soft Utility
MUST USE:
- Deep teal primary actions with pale surfaces and distinct state colors
- Rounded-xl to rounded-2xl controls that preserve information density
- Mobile-first bottom action bars and thumb-reachable primary actions
- Explicit default, focus, success, error, disabled, and loading states
- Status colors paired with text or icons; never communicate meaning by color alone
- Fast, restrained motion that supports task completion
MUST AVOID:
- Low-contrast text for task-critical information
- Turning a tool screen into a decorative card gallery
- Removing boundaries or state feedback in the name of softness
- Bouncy animations that slow down repeated actions
INTERACTION:
- Use 160-240ms transitions and scale-[0.98] on press
- Keep primary controls in a consistent location across screens
- Provide undo or confirmation for destructive actions
COLOR ROLES:
- Surface: #f4f8f6
- Text: #203b40
- Primary: #2d5b63
- Success/support: #a9d8cc
- Notice: #f3c98b
- Secondary states: #e6b7b0 and #b8c9ed
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

FAQ
Soft Utility — Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Soft Utility design style?
- A soft utility style for frequently used mobile tools, balancing efficiency and warmth with calm surfaces, clear state colors, and friendly hierarchy. Its core principle: Soft Utility 面向每天都会打开的工具型 App。它保留柔和色彩和圆润触感，但让状态、输入、筛选和确认拥有比装饰更高的权重。 核心原则： - 先让用户完成任务，再表达风格 - 颜色承担状态，不用颜色替代文字 - 控件有明确的默认、聚焦、完成和错误状态 - 主要动作固定在拇指容易到达的位置 - 信息密度适中，避免空洞的装饰
- What colors does Soft Utility use?
- Soft Utility uses #2d5b63 as its primary color and #f4f8f6 as its secondary color, with accent colors #a9d8cc, #f3c98b, #e6b7b0, #b8c9ed. Every hex value can be copied from the palette on this page.
- How do I apply Soft Utility correctly?
- Key practices: 使用深青色作为主行动色，保证按钮和正文可读. 用薄荷、杏色、蓝色区分状态和模块，而不是装饰性铺色. 在移动端采用底部操作栏和清晰的返回路径.
- What are common mistakes with Soft Utility?
- Avoid: 不要用低对比度文字承载关键任务信息. 不要为了柔和而移除边界、分隔和状态反馈. 不要把工具型页面做成纯展示卡片墙.
- How do I prompt AI to generate Soft Utility 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: utility app, mobile app, productivity, status colors.
