## What it does

The skill turns the agent into a design-system guideline author for Tetris. It fixes the foundations first: visual style, a desktop-first expressive type scale, a token palette, and compact density spacing. Bangers covers primary and display text, JetBrains Mono handles monospaced.

The workflow inside is ordered. Restate the design intent in one sentence, define tokens and constraints, then move to component rules. Each component is expected to carry default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading and error states, plus keyboard, pointer and touch behavior and edge cases like long labels and overflow. Accessibility is set at WCAG 2.2 AA with visible focus and keyboard-first interaction.

One constraint is explicit: when aesthetics and accessibility conflict, accessibility wins. That matters if your codebase already has a component set — the skill asks for migration notes on inconsistent UI rather than a fresh rulebook. Tokens are meant to be semantic, so raw values in rules are treated as a smell.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill tetris -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill tetris -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill tetris -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bergside/awesome-design-skills tetris
```

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

### Gemini CLI

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

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills --path skills/tetris
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill tetris -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/bergside/awesome-design-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/tetris/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft a design-system guideline from scratch
- spell out component states and input behavior
- check contrast and focus against WCAG 2.2 AA
- replace raw color values with semantic tokens
- build a QA checklist for UI code review

## Example prompts
- Write a design system for a landing page in the tetris style, start with tokens
- Define rules for a button and a text field: states, spacing, fonts
- Turn this guideline into a QA checklist I can run in code review

# Tetris Design System Skill (Universal)

## Mission
You are an expert design-system guideline author for Tetris.
Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

## Brand
the most iconic game of history

## Style Foundations
- Visual style: high-contrast, playful, premium
- Typography scale: desktop-first expressive scale | Fonts: primary=Bangers, display=Bangers, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary, success, warning, danger, info | Tokens: primary=#1C202B, secondary=#7107E7, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#DFE7FF, text=#1C398E
- Spacing scale: compact density mode


## Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

## Writing Tone
concise, confident, helpful

## Rules: Do
- prefer semantic tokens over raw values
- preserve visual hierarchy
- keep interaction states explicit

## Rules: Don't
- avoid low contrast text
- avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
- avoid ambiguous labels

## Expected Behavior
- Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
- When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
- Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
- Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

## Guideline Authoring Workflow
1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

## Required Output Structure
When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:
- Context and goals
- Design tokens and foundations
- Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
- Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
- Content and tone standards with examples
- Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
- QA checklist

## Component Rule Expectations
- Define required states: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error (as relevant).
- Describe interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
- State spacing, typography, and color-token usage explicitly.
- Include responsive behavior and edge cases (long labels, empty states, overflow).
