# framer-ui-skills

Hands the agent a fixed set of Framer-style UI rules: dark surfaces, Inter, a 4px grid. Useful when you want a predictable look without hand-tweaking every value.

## What it does

The skill encodes Framer's design system as constraints for an AI agent. It ships semantic color tokens with HEX values (`surface-base` #000000, `surface-raised` #141415), a table of text styles, and scales for spacing, radii and borders. The agent reads those rules and applies them while generating markup.

The rules are strict. Dark backgrounds for primary surfaces, text contrast at 4.5:1 or better, `Inter` as the only family, headings at 93px/700, body at 23px/500, spacing on a 4px grid. Animation runs on `transform` and `opacity` only, stays under 200ms, and appears only when you ask for it. Destructive actions need an `AlertDialog`, and the 2px focus outline in `#5E6AD2` never gets removed.

Everything assumes a dark theme. On a light project you will have to override the tokens yourself, or the agent will paint black surfaces where they do not belong. The ban on animating layout properties like `width` and `margin` also kills a common class of performance bugs.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add ihlamury/design-skills --skill framer -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/framer/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a dark interface from ready-made tokens
- snap spacing and radii to a single 4px grid
- pick one size and weight pair for headings and body text
- check text contrast against the 4.5:1 threshold
- keep the agent from animating layout-breaking properties

## Example prompts
- Build a landing page with framer-ui-skills: dark background, Inter, 4px grid
- Make a product card in the Framer style from this skill
- Rewrite this section using framer-ui-skills rules and keep the focus outline

# Framer UI Skills

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

## When to Apply

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

## Colors

- MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 0
- MUST use `#000000` as page background (`surface-base`)
- SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 22 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` | #141415 | rgb(20,20,21) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
| `surface-overlay` | #F8F8F1 | rgb(248,248,241) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
| `text-primary` | #89786E | rgb(137,120,110) | Headings, body text |
| `text-2` | #D8AD9D | rgb(216,173,157) | Additional text |
| `text-tertiary` | #D1CFD0 | rgb(209,207,208) | Additional text |
| `border-default` | #494453 | rgb(73,68,83) | Subtle borders, dividers |
| `destructive` | #D8AD9D | rgb(216,173,157) | Error states, delete actions |
| `warning` | #F8F8F1 | rgb(248,248,241) | Warning states, cautions |

## Typography

- MUST use `Inter` as primary font family
- SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- MUST use `93px` / `700` for primary headings
- MUST use `23px` / `500` for body text
- SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 4 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 | 93px | 700 | #F4F4F4 | 1 |
| `body` | Inter | 23px | 500 | #737373 | 1 |
| `body-secondary` | Inter | 22px | 700 | #DCB8B8 | 1 |
| `body-secondary` | Inter | 22px | 400 | #B2B2B1 | 1 |
| `text-20px` | Inter | 20px | 300 | #777777 | 1 |
| `text-18px` | Inter | 18px | 400 | #6D635E | 1 |
| `text-16px` | Inter | 16px | 400 | #929290 | 1 |
| `text-14px` | Inter | 14px | 400 | #949493 | 1 |
| `text-14px` | Inter | 14px | 300 | #DFDBD7 | 1 |
| `text-14px` | Inter | 14px | 300 | #2F2F31 | 1 |
