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 Victorian Botanical design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Neon or high-saturation fluorescent colors
- Pure black backgrounds or dark themes
- rounded-full fully rounded corners
- Sans-serif fonts as heading fonts
- Gradient backgrounds or rainbow colors
- Large shadows shadow-xl, shadow-2xl

## Must Follow

- Primary color #2d4a2d (dark green), accent #8b6914 (gold)
- Background color #faf5ef (aged paper)
- Use font-serif serif fonts
- Fine-line borders border border-[#2d4a2d]/20
- Moderate rounded corners rounded-lg
- Warm-toned and restrained shadows

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Dark green: #2d4a2d
- Aged paper: #faf5ef
- Gold: #8b6914
- Dried rose: #6b3a3a
- Fern green: #3d5c3d

## Special Elements

- Delicate decorative separator lines
- Serif font italic for botanical name annotations
- tracking-wide and tracking-[0.3em] for labels
- Subtle paper texture backgrounds

## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Specimen Stillness: Specimens are pinned to paper. Strictly no hover:-translate-y (float-up) effects. Interactions must stay on the 2D plane, conveyed only through color and subtle light-shadow changes.
- Magnifying Inspection: On hover, inner titles, initials, or illustrations can have very slow internal scaling (e.g., group-hover:scale-105), simulating a scholar examining a specimen with a magnifying glass.
- Gilded Reveal: During interaction, dark green text or ultra-fine borders should transition extremely slowly (duration-700) to classical gold (#8b6914), simulating gold leaf reflecting candlelight on a book page.
- Ink Deepening: On :active, do not shrink. Instead, deepen text color or background paper color, simulating pressing a dip pen firmly onto old paper to make a mark.

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- use neon or high-saturation fluorescent colors
- use pure black backgrounds or dark themes
- use rounded-full fully rounded buttons
- use bold sans-serif fonts as headings
- use gradient backgrounds or rainbow colors
- use oversized shadows shadow-xl, shadow-2xl
- use dynamic, flashy animation effects

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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

Victorian Botanical style originates from the natural history research craze of 19th-century Victorian England. Botanists and illustrators of the era used delicate line drawings to document plant specimens from around the world -- these illustrations were not only scientific documents but also artistic treasures.
