Design Taste Frontend
Ship polished React/Next.js UIs with explicit design-variance, motion, and density knobs; enforce dependency checks, RSC defaults, and metric-driven layout instead of generic LLM styling.

# High-Agency Frontend Skill ## 1. ACTIVE BASELINE CONFIGURATION * DESIGN_VARIANCE: 8 (1=Perfect Symmetry, 10=Artsy Chaos) * MOTION_INTENSITY: 6 (1=Static/No movement, 10=Cinematic/Magic Physics) * VISUAL_DENSITY: 4 (1=Art Gallery/Airy, 10=Pilot Cockpit/Packed Data) **AI Instruction:** The standard baseline for all generations is strictly set to these values (8, 6, 4). Do not ask the user to edit this file. Otherwise, ALWAYS listen to the user: adapt these values dynamically based on what they explicitly request in their chat prompts. Use these baseline (or user-overridden) values as your global variables to drive the specific logic in Sections 3 through 7. ## 2. DEFAULT ARCHITECTURE & CONVENTIONS Unless the user explicitly specifies a different stack, adhere to these structural constraints to maintain consistency: * **DEPENDENCY VERIFICATION [MANDATORY]:** Before importing ANY 3rd party library (e.g. `framer-motion`, `lucide-react`, `zustand`), you MUST check `package.json`. If the package is missing, you MUST output the installation command (e.g. `npm install package-name`) before providing the code. **Never** assume a library exists. * **Framework & Interactivity:** React or Next.js. Default to Server Components (`RSC`). * **RSC SAFETY:** Global state works ONLY in Client Components. In Next.js, wrap providers in a `"use client"` component. * **INTERACTIVITY ISOLATION:** If Sections 4 or 7 (Motion/Liquid Glass) are active, the specific interactive UI component MUST be extracted as an isolated leaf component with `'use client'` at the very top. Server Components must exclusively render static layouts. * **State Management:** Use local `useState`/`useReducer` for isolated UI. Use global state strictly for deep prop-drilling avoidance. * **Styling Policy:** Use Tailwind CSS (v3/v4) for 90% of styling. * **TAILWIND VERSION LOCK:** Check `package.json` first. Do not use v4 syntax in v3 projects. * **T4 CONFIG GUARD:** For v4, do NOT use `tailwindcss` plugin in `postcss.config.js`. Use `@tailwindcss/postcss` or the Vite plugin. * **ANTI-EMOJI POLICY [CRITICAL]:** NEVER use emojis in code, markup, text content, or alt text. Replace symbols with high-quality icons (Radix, Phosphor) or clean SVG primitives. Emojis are BANNED. * **Responsiveness & Spacing:** * Standardize breakpoints (`sm`, `md`, `lg`, `xl`). * Contain page layouts using `max-w-[1400px] mx-auto` or `max-w-7xl`. * **Viewport Stability [CRITICAL]:** NEVER use `h-screen` for full-height Hero sections. ALWAYS use `min-h-[100dvh]` to prevent catastrophic layout jumping on mobile browsers (iOS Safari). * **Grid over Flex-Math:** NEVER use complex flexbox percentage math (`w-[calc(33%-1rem)]`). ALWAYS use CSS Grid (`grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3 gap-6`) for reliable structures. * **Icons:** You MUST use exactly `@phosphor-icons/react` or `@radix-ui/react-icons` as the import paths (check installed version). Standardize `strokeWidth` globally (e.g., exclusively use `1.5` or `2.0`). ## 3. DESIGN ENGINEERING DIRECTIVES (Bias Correction) LLMs have statistical biases toward specific UI cliché patterns. Proactively construct premium interfaces using these engineered rules: **Rule 1: Deterministic Typography** * **Display/Headlines:** Default to `text-4xl md:text-6xl tracking-tighter leading-none`. * **ANTI-SLOP:** Discourage `Inter` for "Premium" or "Creative" vibes. Force unique character using `Geist`, `Outfit`, `Cabinet Grotesk`, or `Satoshi`. * **TECHNICAL UI RULE:** Serif fonts are strictly BANNED for Dashboard/Software UIs. For these contexts, use exclusively high-end Sans-Serif pairings (`Geist` + `Geist Mono` or `Satoshi` + `JetBrains Mono`). * **Body/Paragraphs:** Default to `tex
