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

## Absolutely Forbidden

- Pastel or soft colors (pink-200, blue-200, etc.)
- Thin fonts (font-light, font-thin, font-normal)
- Perfectly aligned symmetric grid layouts
- Rounded cute elements (rounded-full on cards)
- Backdrop blur effects (backdrop-blur)
- Soft shadows (shadow-sm, shadow-md, shadow-lg)
- Warm cozy color schemes

## Must Follow

- Dark asphalt background bg-[#1c1c1e] as base
- High-saturation spray colors: #ff2d55, #00e5ff, #ffea00, #b620e0, #ff6d00
- Extra-bold fonts font-black uppercase throughout
- Random rotation and skew transforms on elements
- Thick borders border-4 with hard offset shadows shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px]
- Text shadow for spray paint glow effect
- Asymmetric, non-grid layouts preferred
- No rounded corners: rounded-none throughout

## Color Palette

Primary:
- Spray Red: #ff2d55
- Asphalt: #1c1c1e
- Cyan Spray: #00e5ff
- Neon Yellow: #ffea00
- Purple: #b620e0
- Orange: #ff6d00

## Unique Elements (Graffiti-Only)

1. Spray paint transforms: style={{ transform: "rotate(Ndeg) skewX(Ndeg)" }} on text and cards
2. Drip decorations: thin vertical div elements simulating paint drips
3. Brick wall texture: repeating-linear-gradient grid pattern in the background
4. Stencil text: font-black uppercase with letter-spacing and optional stroke
5. Color tag badges: inline colored spans with font-black uppercase labels

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Paint Drip: On hover, drip decorations stretch along the Y axis, simulating fresh spray paint running.
- Vandalism Snap: Interactions allow more aggressive rotation/tilt switching, emphasizing the unauthorized street vandalism feel.
- Hard Contrast: Active must instantly remove hard shadows and shift significantly, creating a "stamp-hitting-wall" impact.
- Zero Polish: Animations stay short and hard-cut (duration-100/150 + ease-linear), avoiding elegant smooth styles.

# Graffiti Street Design System

> Street graffiti art style with spray-paint textures, bold clashing colors, hand-lettered tags, and brick-wall backgrounds. A visual expression of urban culture and rebellious spirit.

## Design Philosophy

Graffiti Street style originates from the graffiti culture of 1960s New York subways and Philadelphia streets, one of the four elements of hip-hop culture. From early simple "tag" signatures to later "wildstyle" and "piece" (masterpiece) works, graffiti has always been a symbol of urban youth self-expression and rebellious spirit.

In digital design, graffiti style recreates the raw energy of the streets: dark gray/near-black #1c1c1e simulates asphalt and brick-wall base colors; spray-paint red #ff2d55 and neon cyan #00e5ff are signature high-saturation clash colors; bold uppercase letters and tilted text mimic the spontaneity of spray-painted writing.

Core concepts:
- Spray-paint texture: text-shadow and drop-shadow simulate the fuzzy edges of spray-paint diffusion
- Bold color clashing: Red, cyan, yellow, purple, and orange in high-saturation collision -- rejecting harmony, pursuing impact
- Hand-lettered tags: Tilted text -rotate-[N deg], bold uppercase, and irregular spacing mimic hand-sprayed tags
- Brick-wall background: Dark gray base with subtle grid textures suggesting brick or concrete walls

Graffiti style suits music label websites, streetwear brands, skateboard culture communities, and indie musician homepages -- any scenario that needs to express urban rebellious spirit and youth cultural identity.

Key principle: Graffiti never aligns, never softens, never asks permission. Every element should have the spontaneous feel and raw power of being "sprayed directly on."

## [FORBIDDEN]

These classes are banned in this style. Check for them before returning code:

### Banned classes
- `rounded-lg`
- `rounded-xl`
- `rounded-2xl`
- `rounded-full`
- `font-light`
- `font-thin`
- `font-normal`
- `shadow-sm`
- `shadow-md`
- `shadow-lg`
- `backdrop-blur`
- `backdrop-blur-sm`
- `backdrop-blur-md`

### Banned patterns
- matches `^rounded-(?:lg|xl|2xl|3xl|full)$`
- matches `^font-(?:light|thin|normal)$`
- matches `^shadow-(?:sm|md|lg|xl)$`
- matches `^backdrop-blur`
- matches `^(?:bg|text)-(?:pink|blue|green)-[1-3]00$`

### Why they are banned
- `rounded-lg`: Graffiti uses sharp edges (rounded-none), never soft corners
- `font-light`: Graffiti uses font-black/font-bold exclusively, never thin fonts
- `shadow-md`: Graffiti uses hard offset shadows (Npx_Npx_0px), not soft blur
- `backdrop-blur`: Graffiti is opaque and raw, not translucent glass

> WARNING: if your code contains any of the above, replace it before shipping.

- [ ] Not using `font-thin`
- [ ] Not using `font-normal`
- [ ] Not using `shadow-sm`

### Style rule check
- [ ] Use dark gray/near-black bg-[#1c1c1e] as main background simulating brick walls/asphalt
- [ ] Use high-saturation clash colors: text-[#ff2d55], text-[#00e5ff], text-[#ffea00], text-[#b620e0]
- [ ] Text uses font-black uppercase with random rotation -rotate-[N deg]
- [ ] Use text-shadow or drop-shadow to simulate spray-paint diffusion effect
- [ ] Buttons and tags use thick borders border-4 and hard offset shadows shadow-[Npx_Npx_0px]

### Style drift check
- [ ] Does not violate: Do not use soft pastel colors

### Delivery check
- [ ] Responsive layout holds on phone, tablet and desktop with no horizontal overflow
