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 Gothic design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:
## Absolutely Forbidden
- Bright white backgrounds
- Cheerful, cute design elements
- Sans-serif fonts for main headings
- Large rounded corners
## Must Follow
- Deep purple, blood red, black palette bg-[#2d1b4e], bg-[#8b1a1a], bg-[#0a0a0a]
- Gold decorations text-[#c9a227], border-[#c9a227]
- Serif fonts font-serif
- Dark backgrounds bg-[#0a0a0a]
- Intricate border decorations
## Color Palette
Primary:
- Deep Purple: #2d1b4e
- Blood Red: #8b1a1a
- Pure Black: #0a0a0a
- Gold: #c9a227
## Special Elements
- Pointed arch shapes
- Gold ornamental lines
- Intricate borders
- Rose window patterns
## Animation & Interaction Rules
- Cathedral Weight: No frivolous bouncing or rapid displacement; interactions should focus on slow changes in light, shadow, and color gradation.
- Divine Illumination: Gold borders and text slowly intensify their glow on hover, simulating candlelight and divine halos.
- Stone Mechanism: `:active` enhances press resistance through deep inner shadows rather than conventional scale feedback.
- Eternal Slowness: Animations should use `duration-500` to `duration-700` with `ease-in-out`, maintaining solemn gravitas.
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- use bright cheerful colors
- use round cute elements
- use modern sans-serif fonts for main headings
- use overly minimalist design
- use rapid jitter, elastic bounce, or other frivolous animations
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.
