An enterprise admin tool that respects density. Cool bone-grey surfaces, Inter for prose and IBM Plex Mono with tabular numerals for every figure, a single steel-blue accent reserved for the active module pane border. Built for B2B internal tools, ops dashboards, and admin consoles where information density is the feature, not the bug.
A complete design system, ready for your AI coding agent. Every primitive, token, and pattern below is generated straight from DESIGN.md — drop the file in your project and ship matching UI in minutes.
Prose-first token file — decisions live next to their reasoning.
Fine micro-scale (1–5px) for pills, editorial scale (12–21px) for the grid.
The system's own radius tokens — sm for chips and inputs, md for buttons, lg for cards, pill for fully-rounded CTAs.

Every value used in the UI must come from this78> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new79> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the80> user before adding one.81 82### 1 · Your role83 84You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Atlas Admin** as its85design system. Treat `DESIGN.md` as the single source of truth.86Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into87components and pages that look like they were designed by the same88person who authored this file.89 90### 2 · Token compliance91 92- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value93 from the frontmatter at the top of this file.94- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never95 hard-code hex values that bypass the system.96- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once97 in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.98- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.99 Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.100 101### 3 · Component recipes102 103Use these recipes verbatim when building the corresponding component.104 105#### Buttons106 107Four variants are defined. Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.108 109- **Primary** — rounded shape, bg `#0f1419`, text `#f1f3f6`, padding `8px 16px`, weight `600`.110- **Secondary** — rounded shape, bg `#ffffff`, text `#0f1419`, border `1px solid rgba(15,20,25,0.14)`, padding `8px 16px`, weight `500`.111- **Outline** — rounded shape, text `#0f1419`, border `1px solid rgba(15,20,25,0.18)`, padding `8px 16px`, weight `500`.112- **Ghost** — rounded shape, text `#5a626c`, padding `8px 12px`, weight `500`.113 114Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.115**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary116actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.117 118#### Cards119 120- Background: `#f1f3f6`121- Border: `1px solid rgba(15,20,25,0.08)`122- Shadow: `rgba(15,20,25,0.04) 0 1px 2px`123- Radius: `radius.lg` (`7px`)124- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.125 126#### Tabs127 128Variant: `boxed`. Each tab is a bordered card. Active tab gets the accent border and a subtle fill.129 130#### Charts131 132- Bar/line variant: `thin-bars`133- Highlight strategy: `single` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.134 135#### Typography pairings136 137- **Display (`Inter`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.138- **Body (`Inter`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.139- **Mono (`IBM Plex Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.140 141### 4 · Hard constraints142 143Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:144 145- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.146- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).147- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.148- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.149- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.150 151### 5 · Before you finish — verify152 153Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:154 155- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.156- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.157- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).158- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.159- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.160- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.161 162---163 164## 1. Atmosphere165 166Atlas Admin is an enterprise admin tool that respects density. The page surface is cool bone-grey `#f1f3f6` with cards lifted to pure white — every surface differing by 1-2% lightness. Inter handles prose at the small body size (14px) that admin consoles actually need to fit dense data; IBM Plex Mono with tabular numerals carries every ID, count, percentage, timestamp. Chrome is hairlines at 8% ink. The single accent is muted steel-blue `#3a5a7e` that appears only on the active module pane left border, the active sidebar item, and the focus ring. Status colors (success/warn/error) are reserved for actual status — never for UI accents.167 168The discipline is in the density: 14px body so an ops table actually fits a screen, mono numerals for column alignment, and one steel-blue that reads as "you are here" without ever shouting.169 170**Signature moves**171- 14px body in Inter — admin consoles need density, not marketing spacing172- IBM Plex Mono with `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` on every ID, count, timestamp, percentage173- Steel-blue `#3a5a7e` only on active module pane border + active sidebar item + focus ring174- Boxed tabs (5px radius, 1px hairline) — the tmux-pane voice for module switching175- Cool bone-grey `#f1f3f6` page → pure white card — tonal-shift, no shadow drama176 177## 2.

A near-black dark canvas where one cosmic grainy gradient does all the talking — deep indigo bleeds into magenta and ignites into warm amber, with real fractal-noise grain layered on top. Inter throughout, hairlines at 8% white, and the gradient burns through the primary CTA, the featured hero tile, and the active chart bar. Quiet space, hot bloom.
