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 frontend expert specializing in Vertical Timeline layout. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints:

## Absolute Prohibitions

- Do NOT break the connecting line
- Do NOT use inconsistent node sizes
- Do NOT keep alternating layout on mobile
- Do NOT omit time/date labels
- Do NOT make content too long per node

## Must Follow

- Central line: absolute positioned pseudo-element or div
- Node dots: aligned with center line
- Mobile: single-side layout (all items on right)
- Desktop: can alternate left/right
- Consistent spacing between nodes
- Clear time/date indicators

## Structure

Container:
- relative positioning
- padding-left for line space (mobile)
- centered line (desktop alternating)

Central Line:
- Pseudo-element or div
- Absolute positioned
- 2px width, subtle color

Node:
- Circular dot (w-4 h-4)
- Aligned with line center
- Different colors for status
- White border for contrast

Content Card:
- Connected visually to node
- Date/time label
- Title and description
- Optional action button

## Responsive

Mobile:
- All items on one side
- Line on left
- Full-width cards

Desktop:
- Optional alternating sides
- Line in center
- Cards 50% width

## Animation

Scroll-triggered:
- Items fade in on scroll
- Stagger animation
- Node pulse on current

## Animation & Interaction Rules

- Node Synchronization: When hovering a card, the timeline node must synchronize with highlight, scale, or glow, establishing a strong connection.
- Pull-out Effect: Card hover can slightly lift and shift along the horizontal axis (translate-x), simulating a node being pulled out for examination.
- Sequential Smoothness: Transitions use duration-200 ease-out, supporting stable feedback during fast scrolling browsing.
- Connected Focus: Focused card border color must match the timeline main line, ensuring narrative continuity.

## Self-Check

After generating code, verify:
1. Line is continuous
2. Nodes are aligned
3. Mobile is single-side
4. All items have dates
5. Scroll animation works
