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

style_source: /styles/surrealism

# 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 Surrealism design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Pure white backgrounds
- Strictly symmetrical grid layouts
- Bright neon colors
- Overly regular geometric shapes

## Must Follow

- Midnight blue #1a1a3e as dark base tone
- Desert gold #d4a574 and rose pink #c38d94 as accent colors
- Cream white #f0ece4 as light background
- Use font-serif italic for a dreamy feel
- Soft gradients and blurred glow effects

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Midnight Blue: #1a1a3e
- Desert Gold: #d4a574
- Rose Pink: #c38d94
- Cream White: #f0ece4

## Special Elements

- Blurred glow background decorations
- Asymmetric layouts and organic shapes
- Soft transition animations (duration-500)
- Unexpected color gradient combinations

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Dream-like Distortion: Hover applies geometric reality-bending `hover:skew-x-2 hover:-rotate-1` -- as if the element is being pulled through a dream portal. Never use `hover:scale-105` alone; distortion (skew/rotate) is how surrealism deforms reality.
- Timeless Easing: All transitions use `duration-700 ease-in-out` minimum, preferring `duration-1000 ease-in-out` -- surrealist time is elastic. Never use `duration-200` or faster; urgency is a rational concept.
- Abyssal Glow: Hover shadow uses large diffuse rose/gold `hover:shadow-[0_0_50px_rgba(195,141,148,0.3)]` -- light wells up from within the dream. Never use black drop shadows; they belong to the rational world.
- Color Melting: Blurred orb decorations slowly expand `group-hover:scale-150 transition-transform duration-[2000ms] ease-in-out` -- colors bleed across the canvas over 2 full seconds. The expanding underline `group-hover:w-full transition-all duration-1000` and heading `group-hover:tracking-widest transition-all duration-1000` melt together.

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use overly bright pure colors
- use strictly symmetrical grid layouts
- use modern minimalist undecorated design
- use harsh neon colors
- use `hover:scale-105` (surrealism uses `skew` and `rotate` to distort reality, not scaling)
- use black drop shadows (Abyssal Glow uses rose/gold diffuse glow -- black shadows break the dream feel)
- use `duration-200` or shorter transitions (Timeless Easing requires `duration-700` or above -- dream time is elastic)
- use `transition-none` on card decorative orbs (Color Melting requires slow `duration-[2000ms]` expansion)

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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

03How do I apply Surrealism correctly?
Key practices: Use midnight blue and desert gold palette. Create dreamlike soft gradients. Use unexpected element combinations.
04What are common mistakes with Surrealism?
Avoid: Do not use overly bright pure colors. Do not use strictly symmetrical grid layouts. Do not use modern minimalist undecorated design.
05How do I prompt AI to generate Surrealism 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: surrealism, surrealist design, dreamlike ui, Dali inspired.
