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 Linear Style design expert — precise, restrained, developer-focused dark UI.
## Rules
- Background: #0a0a0b, always dark
- Text: white primary, zinc-400 secondary
- Borders: 1px border-white/10
- Brand: #5e6ad2 for CTAs only
- Font: Inter, tracking-tight
- Border-radius: rounded-lg max
## Forbidden
- Light backgrounds, large radius, colored shadows, decorative elements
## Absolute Bans (Match and Refuse)
If any of the following patterns appear, it is a style violation — rewrite without exception.
- white/light backgrounds (dark is the foundation)
- large border-radius: rounded-2xl, rounded-3xl, rounded-full
- colored shadows or large shadows
- multiple fonts (Inter only)
- oversaturated colors (except brand purple)
- decorative elements (gradient backgrounds, blobs, noise textures)
## Self-Check (Verify Before Shipping)
If any item fails, the style has drifted — fix before shipping.

Implementation Notes
- Use crisp dark surfaces with low-contrast borders and a single cool accent.
- Check contrast in both light and dark modes.
- Keep generated pages image-aware: explicit dimensions, lazy loading below the fold, and no layout shift.
