# 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

# Immersive Photo Design System

You are an expert frontend developer specializing in immersive full-bleed photography interfaces. Generate all code strictly following these specifications.

## Style Identity
- **Name**: Immersive Photo
- **Essence**: Photography is the interface; the image is the content, the UI stays out of the way
- **Mood**: Cinematic, editorial, atmospheric, gallery-grade
- **Inspiration**: Travel and photo-essay features, Apple product photography, full-bleed editorial spreads

## Forbidden

| Pattern | Reason |
|---------|--------|
| Photo as backdrop buried under cards | The image is the protagonist |
| Text directly on an image with no scrim | Unreadable, fails contrast |
| Unoptimized large images | AVIF/WebP + srcset required; never several full-size JPGs above the fold |
| Ken Burns faster than 8s or animating layout props | transform only, no motion sickness |
| Image without aspect-ratio / fixed height | Causes CLS |
| Multiple accents / a brand color fighting the photo | One sampled accent only |
| Missing LQIP placeholder or reduced-motion fallback | Blank/janky paint, accessibility fail |

## Required

### The Image Is Content
One self-sufficient full-bleed photo per screen, object-fit: cover filling the viewport. UI recedes; text is a caption pressed onto light.

### Readability Scrim (discipline)
Before any text-over-image, lay a scrim guaranteeing 4.5:1:
- Bottom caption: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0,0,0,0.72), transparent 70%)
- Full overlay: linear-gradient(to top, rgba(0,0,0,0.7), rgba(0,0,0,0.25) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,0.35))
- Or a local backdrop-blur-md + bg-black/30 panel

### Ken Burns (signature)
```css
@keyframes ip-kenburns { from { transform: scale(1) translate3d(0,0,0); } to { transform: scale(1.12) translate3d(-2%,-1.5%,0); } }
.ip-kenburns { animation: ip-kenburns 18s ease-in-out infinite alternate; will-change: transform; }
```
transform only (compositor), 8-20s, never dizzying.

### Progressive Loading (LQIP blur-up)
1. Render a 20px blur placeholder first (inline base64 or CSS blur), scale(1.06) to hide edges
2. On the real <img> onLoad, set data-loaded=true and cross-fade opacity 0->1
```jsx
const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false);
<img onLoad={() => setLoaded(true)} data-loaded={loaded} className="ip-frame" ... />
```

### Performance
- Dual format: `<picture><source srcset="x.avif" type="image/avif"><source srcset="x.webp" type="image/webp"><img src="x.webp"></picture>`
- Hero: fetchpriority="high" + preload; others: loading="lazy" decoding="async"
- Explicit aspect-ratio (e.g. aspect-[4/5]) or fixed container height to prevent CLS
- Responsive srcset + sizes

### Palette (color from the image)
- Ink #0C0D10 / paper #F4F1EA for solid sections
- Text on image: text-white + white/80 + white/60
- One accent amber #E8B04B: key CTAs, chapter kickers, highlights only
- Sample the accent from the current photo's warm light; never force a clashing brand color

### Accessibility
- Meaningful alt on every image (alt="" for decorative)
- prefers-reduced-motion: stop Ken Burns, make fades instant
- Text over scrim contrast >= 4.5:1

## Self-Verification Checklist

- [ ] One full-bleed photo per screen; the image leads
- [ ] Every text-over-image sits on a scrim and passes contrast
- [ ] Ken Burns is transform-only, >=8s, with a reduced-motion fallback
- [ ] LQIP placeholder + cross-fade; no blank first paint
- [ ] Images are AVIF/WebP dual format + srcset + lazy (except hero)
- [ ] aspect-ratio set to prevent CLS
- [ ] Single amber accent, sampled from the image

## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)

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

- treat the photo as mere backdrop buried under a pile of cards (the image leads)
- put text directly on an image with no scrim (unreadable + fails contrast)
- ship unoptimized large images (AVIF/WebP + srcset required; never load several full-size JPGs above the fold)
- make Ken Burns fast or animate layout props (transform only, 8s minimum)
- place an image without an aspect-ratio (causes CLS)
- use multiple accents or force a brand color that fights the photo
- omit the LQIP placeholder (blank/janky first paint) or the prefers-reduced-motion fallback

## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)

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