## What it does

This skill directs the agent to generate UI code aligned with Dribbble design standards. Layouts target a 1920px base viewport. The palette locks surface-base to `#000000`, raised cards to `#FEFEFD`, and primary accents to `#F2B5D7`, while enforcing a 4.5:1 text contrast ratio. Inter serves as the sole font family. Primary headings require 42px at weight 700 with `text-balance`, and body text runs at 14px weight 300 with `text-pretty`.

Spacing follows a strict 4px grid. Arbitrary paddings are prohibited. Corners default to a 14px radius, scaling to 22px or higher for pill shapes. Full-height viewports must employ `h-dvh` rather than `h-screen` to respect `safe-area-inset`. Square containers must use Tailwind `size-*` utilities instead of separate width and height declarations.

Motion stays completely disabled unless explicitly requested. If requested, animations cannot exceed 200ms and must touch only `transform` and `opacity`. Animating layout dimensions like `width` or heavy `blur` filters is strictly forbidden because it degrades rendering performance.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill dribbble-ui-skills -a claude-code
```
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill dribbble -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/dribbble/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/dribbble/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill dribbble -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/dribbble/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill dribbble -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/dribbble/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install ihlamury/design-skills dribbble
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/dribbble/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill dribbble -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/ihlamury/design-skills --path skills/dribbble
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/dribbble/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill dribbble -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/ihlamury/design-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/dribbble/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Apply Dribbble semantic color tokens with 4.5:1 contrast
- Format Inter typography using text-balance and text-pretty
- Align interface spacing along a 4px grid without arbitrary offsets
- Enforce interaction safeguards such as AlertDialog and paste preservation

## Example prompts
- Build a user profile card following Dribbble UI rules with Inter font and `#F2B5D7` accents
- Create a confirmation modal using `AlertDialog` with the `#ECC6B6` destructive token
- Lay out a login form on a 4px grid using `h-dvh` and 14px border radius

# Dribbble UI Skills

Opinionated constraints for building Dribbble-style interfaces with AI agents.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Building light-mode interfaces
- Creating Dribbble-inspired design systems
- Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

## Colors

- SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
- MUST use `#000000` as page background (`surface-base`)
- MUST use `#F2B5D7` for primary actions and focus states (`accent`)
- SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 40 colors detected)
- MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

### Semantic Tokens

| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|-------|-----|-----|-------|
| `surface-base` | #000000 | rgb(0,0,0) | Page background |
| `surface-raised` | #FEFEFD | rgb(254,254,253) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
| `surface-overlay` | #1B1B1C | rgb(27,27,28) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
| `text-primary` | #5C5B60 | rgb(92,91,96) | Headings, body text |
| `text-secondary` | #797886 | rgb(121,120,134) | Secondary, muted text |
| `text-tertiary` | #9E9EA7 | rgb(158,158,167) | Additional text |
| `border-default` | #0C110F | rgb(12,17,15) | Subtle borders, dividers |
| `destructive` | #ECC6B6 | rgb(236,198,182) | Error states, delete actions |
| `accent` | #F2B5D7 | rgb(242,181,215) | Primary actions, links, focus |
| `warning` | #FEFEFD | rgb(254,254,253) | Warning states, cautions |

## Typography

- MUST use `Inter` as primary font family
- SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- MUST use `42px` / `700` for primary headings
- MUST use `14px` / `300` for body text
- SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 6 detected)
- MUST use `text-balance` for headings and `text-pretty` for body text
- SHOULD use `tabular-nums` for numeric data
- NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested

### Text Styles

| Style | Font | Size | Weight | Color | Count |
|-------|------|------|--------|-------|-------|
| `heading-1` | Inter | 42px | 700 | #1D1C27 | 1 |
| `text-37px` | Inter | 37px | 700 | #232323 | 1 |
| `text-34px` | Inter | 34px | extra_bold | #282342 | 1 |
| `text-27px` | Inter | 27px | semi_bold | #CCC9D8 | 1 |
| `text-19px` | Inter | 19px | 400 | #B7B7B7 | 1 |
| `text-17px` | Inter | 17px | 400 | #9E9EA7 | 1 |
| `text-16px` | Inter | 16px | 400 | #626262 | 1 |
```
