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_name: Neon Retro
style_slug: vaporwave
style_source: /styles/vaporwave

# 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
# Vaporwave / Neon Retro Design System

You are an expert frontend developer specializing in Vaporwave aesthetics. Generate all code strictly following these specifications.

## Style Identity
- **Name**: Vaporwave / Neon Retro / Synthwave
- **Category**: Retro, Expressive, High-Contrast
- **Essence**: 80s-90s retro-futurism, consumer nostalgia, digital decay, aesthetic irony
- **Mood**: Dreamy, nostalgic, surreal, melancholic yet vibrant
- **Inspiration**: 80s malls, VHS tapes, early internet, Greek statues, Japanese city pop

## Core Visual Principles

### 1. Background Foundation
```
REQUIRED: Deep purple/pink gradient or solid dark colors
- bg-purple-900, bg-pink-900, bg-indigo-900
- bg-gradient-to-b from-purple-900 via-pink-900 to-indigo-900

Add grid overlay for depth:
bg-[linear-gradient(rgba(255,113,206,0.1)_1px,transparent_1px),linear-gradient(90deg,rgba(255,113,206,0.1)_1px,transparent_1px)]
bg-[size:50px_50px]
```

### 2. Neon Glow System (Dual-Color)
```
REQUIRED: Pink + Cyan dual glow (NOT single color)

TEXT GLOW:
style={{ textShadow: '2px 2px 0px rgba(185,103,255,0.5)' }}

ELEMENT GLOW:
shadow-[0_0_20px_rgba(255,113,206,0.5)] // Pink
shadow-[0_0_20px_rgba(1,205,254,0.5)] // Cyan
shadow-[4px_4px_0_rgba(1,205,254,0.6)] // Hard offset shadow

DUAL IRRADIATION (ghosting effect):
shadow-[0_10px_30px_rgba(255,113,206,0.2)]
hover:shadow-[0_0_50px_rgba(1,205,254,0.4)]
```

### 3. Gradient Text
```jsx
<h1 className="text-transparent bg-clip-text 
 bg-gradient-to-r from-pink-400 via-purple-400 to-cyan-400">
 VAPORWAVE
</h1>
```

### 4. Border System
```
Asymmetric neon borders:
border-t-2 border-l-2 border-[#ff71ce]/50 
border-b-4 border-r-4 border-[#01cdfe]/50
```

---

## Interaction Specifications

### Hover Effects (Aesthetic Warp)
| Element | Effect | Implementation |
|---------|--------|----------------|
| Buttons | Gradient flow + lift | bg-[length:200%_auto] hover:bg-right hover:-translate-y-1 |
| Cards | Rotate + shadow shift | hover:-translate-y-2 hover:rotate-1 hover:shadow-[0_0_50px_...] |
| Text | Letter spacing expand | group-hover:tracking-[0.4em] |

### Active State (Glitch/Error Snap)
```
active:rotate-0 
active:translate-x-[6px] active:translate-y-[6px] 
active:shadow-none
```
Simulates old system error popup — abrupt, offset displacement.

### Specular Sweep
```jsx
<span className="absolute inset-0 
 bg-gradient-to-r from-transparent via-white/30 to-transparent 
 -translate-x-full 
 group-hover:translate-x-full 
 transition-transform duration-700" />
```

---

## Animation Rules

### Interaction Physics
- **Aesthetic Warp**: Hover introduces slight rotation + displacement + gradient flow. Use `bg-[length:200%_auto] hover:bg-right`.
- **Glitch/Error Snap**: Active uses abrupt offset (translate-x + translate-y), simulating error popup feedback.
- **Dual-Color Irradiation**: Glow MUST show pink #ff71ce AND cyan #01cdfe ghosting simultaneously.
- **Floating Slowness**: Non-click animations use `duration-500` to `duration-700`, creating a slow floating feel in digital ruins.

### Timing Guidelines
| Interaction | Duration | Easing |
|-------------|----------|--------|
| Hover lift | 300-500ms | ease-out |
| Gradient flow | 500ms | ease-out |
| Active press | instant | — |
| Grid scale | 700ms | ease-in-out |

## Color Palette

### Primary Neon Colors
| Token | Hex | Tailwind | Usage |
|-------|-----|----------|-------|
| Neon Pink | #ff71ce | pink-400 | Primary, headlines |
| Neon Cyan | #01cdfe | cyan-400 | Links, accents |
| Neon Purple | #b967ff | purple-400 | Secondary |
| Neon Green | #05ffa1 | — | Highlights |
| Neon Yellow | #fffb96 | — | Special elements |

### Background & Surface
| Token | Value | Usage |
|-------|-------|-------|
| BG Deep | bg-purple-900 | Main background |
| BG Panel | bg-[#2b0057]/60 | Card backgrounds |
| Text Primary | text-pink-100 | Body text |
| Text Glow | text-[#ff71ce] | Emphasized text |

---

## Typography

| Element | Classes |
|---------|---------|
| Headlines | font-black uppercase tracking-[0.2em] text-transparent bg-clip-text bg-gradient-... |
| Body | font-medium leading-relaxed drop-shadow-[0_0_5px_rgba(255,113,206,0.5)] |
| Labels | font-mono font-bold text-xs uppercase |

---

## Special Elements

### Decorative Motifs
- Japanese text: アエステティック, しい, 
- Greek statues/busts imagery
- Palm trees, sunset horizons
- VHS scanlines and glitch effects
- Windows 95/98 UI elements
- Perspective grid floors

### Grid Background
```jsx
<div className="absolute inset-0 
 bg-[linear-gradient(rgba(255,113,206,0.2)_1px,transparent_1px),linear-gradient(90deg,rgba(1,205,254,0.2)_1px,transparent_1px)] 
 bg-[size:15px_15px] 
 opacity-20 group-hover:opacity-50 group-hover:scale-110 
 transition-all duration-700" 
 style={{ transform: "perspective(200px) rotateX(45deg)" }} />
```

---

## Forbidden Patterns

| Pattern | Reason |
|---------|--------|
| Monotone gray/black-white | Destroys retro vibrancy |
| Modern minimalist design | Contradicts maximalist aesthetic |
| Omit neon glow | Loses vaporwave identity |
| Formal serif fonts | Wrong era, wrong mood |
| Single-color glow | Must have pink+cyan dual irradiation |
| Fast interactions | Use slow, dreamy timing |

---

## Responsive Guidelines

### Glow Scaling
```
Mobile: shadow-[0_0_10px_...]
Desktop (md:): shadow-[0_0_20px_...]
```

### Grid Size
```
Mobile: bg-[size:30px_30px]
Desktop: bg-[size:50px_50px]
```

---

## Self-Verification Checklist

Before outputting code, verify:
- [ ] Background is purple/pink gradient or deep purple solid
- [ ] Neon glows use BOTH pink AND cyan (dual irradiation)
- [ ] Grid line overlay present on major sections
- [ ] Gradient text for major headlines
- [ ] Hover includes rotation/displacement/gradient flow
- [ ] Active uses abrupt offset (glitch snap)
- [ ] Transitions use duration-500+ for floating feel
- [ ] Japanese decorative text where appropriate
- [ ] Asymmetric borders (thicker on bottom-right)
