70## AI Build Instructions
71
72> **Read this section before writing any code.** The rules below
73> are non-negotiable. Every value used in the UI must come from this
74> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new
75> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the
76> user before adding one.
77
78### 1 · Your role
79
80You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Voidstage** as its
81design system. Treat `DESIGN.md` as the single source of truth.
82Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into
83components and pages that look like they were designed by the same
84person who authored this file.
85
86### 2 · Token compliance
87
88- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value
89 from the frontmatter at the top of this file.
90- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never
91 hard-code hex values that bypass the system.
92- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once
93 in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.
94- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.
95 Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.
96
97### 3 · Component recipes
98
99Use these recipes verbatim when building the corresponding component.
100
101#### Buttons
102
103Four variants are defined. Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.
104
105- **Primary** — pill shape, bg `#FFFFFF`, text `#000000`, padding `10px 22px`, weight `500`.
106- **Secondary** — pill shape, bg `rgba(255,255,255,0.08)`, text `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.16)`, padding `10px 22px`, weight `500`.
107- **Outline** — pill shape, text `#FFFFFF`, border `1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.4)`, padding `10px 22px`, weight `500`.
108- **Ghost** — pill shape, text `rgba(255,255,255,0.6)`, padding `10px 14px`, weight `500`.
109
110Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.
111**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary
112actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.
113
114#### Cards
115
116- Background: `#090909`
117- Shadow: `rgba(0,153,255,0.15) 0 0 0 1px, rgba(0,0,0,0.25) 0 10px 30px`
118- Radius: `radius.lg` (`12px`)
119- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.
120
121#### Charts
122
123- Bar/line variant: `dots`
124- Highlight strategy: `all` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.
125
126#### Typography pairings
127
128- **Display (`Geist`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.
129- **Body (`Inter`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.
130- **Mono (`JetBrains Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.
131
132### 4 · Hard constraints
133
134Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:
135
136- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.
137- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).
138- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.
139- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.
140- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.
141
142### 5 · Before you finish — verify
143
144Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:
145
146- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.
147- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.
148- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).
149- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.
150- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.
151- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.

155## 1. Atmosphere
156
157Voidstage is a cinematic, tool-obsessed dark canvas — the confidence of a design tool built by designers who worship craft. The entire experience is drenched in pure black (`#000000`), not warm charcoal or cozy dark gray, but an absolute void that makes every element feel like it's floating in deep space. The product UI is the hero art; full-fidelity screenshots and interactive demos are embedded directly in the narrative.
158
159The typography is the signature move. A geometric medium-weight display with aggressive negative tracking (as extreme as -5.5px on 110px headlines) creates words under pressure — compressed, kinetic, almost spring-loaded. Body type transitions to a refined neo-grotesque with extensive OpenType alternates, giving even small text a custom feel. The single accent — electric blue (`#0099ff`) — is deployed as link color, border, and ring shadow, a cold throughline against the warm-less black.
160
161**Signature moves**
162- Pure `#000000` void canvas — never warm or gray-tinted
163- Geometric display at weight 500 only, with extreme negative tracking
164- Electric blue (`#0099ff`) as the sole accent — interactive only
165- Pill-shaped buttons (40–100px radius) — no sharp corners on interactive
166- Frosted glass surfaces using `rgba(255,255,255,0.1)` over dark
167- Blue ring shadows for card containment: `rgba(0,153,255,0.15) 0 0 0 1px`
168
169## 2. Palette
170
171### Primary
172- **Void Black** `#000000` — page canvas
173- **Pure White** `#ffffff` — heading text, button text on accent
174- **Electric Blue** `#0099ff` — links, borders, focus, accent
175
176### Surface
177- Void `#000000` — page
178- Frosted `rgba(255,255,255,0.1)` — translucent button / glass
179- Frosted Hover `rgba(255,255,255,0.5)` — slightly more opaque
180- Near Black `#090909` — elevated dark surface, ring color
181
182### Text
183- Pure White `#ffffff` — headings, high-emphasis
184- Muted Silver `#a6a6a6` — body, descriptions
185- Ghost White `rgba(255,255,255,0.6)` — placeholders, tertiary
186
187### Glow
188- Blue Glow `rgba(0,153,255,0.15)` — focus ring shadow, halo
189- Default Link Blue `#0000ee` — sparingly in content areas
190
191## 3. Typography
192
193| Role | Size | Weight | Leading | Tracking |
194|------|------|--------|---------|----------|
195| Display Hero | 110px | 500 | 0.85 | -5.5px |
196| Section Display | 85px | 500 | 0.95 | -4.25px |
197| Section Heading | 62px | 500 | 1.00 | -3.1px |
198| Feature Heading | 32px | 500 | 1.13 | -1px |
199| Card Title | 24px | 400 | 1.30 | -0.01px |
200| Body L | 18px | 400 | 1.30 | -0.01px |
201| Body | 15px | 400 | 1.30 | -0.01px |
202| Nav / UI | 15px | 400 | 1.00 | -0.15px |
203| Caption | 14px | 400 | 1.40 | normal |
204| Label | 13px | 500 | 1.60 | normal |
205| Mono | 10.4px | 400 | 1.60 | normal |
206
207**Compression is the personality.** Display weight is fixed at 500 — never bold, never regular. Ultra-tight line-heights (0.85) at display sizes mean letters nearly overlap vertically. Intentional density that rewards reading at arm's length.
208
209## 4. Buttons

211### Solid White Pill (Primary)

217```
218
219### Frosted Pill
220- `rgba(255,255,255,0.1)` background, white text
221- Pill radius (40px+)
222- Glass effect on dark — translucent and ambient
223
224### Ghost
225- No background, white text
226- Hover reveals subtle frosted background
227
228## 5. Cards
229
230- **Dark surface card**: black or `#090909`, with `rgba(0,153,255,0.15) 0 0 0 1px` blue ring shadow, 10–15px radius
231- **Elevated card**: `rgba(255,255,255,0.1) 0 0.5px 0 0.5px` (top highlight) + `rgba(0,0,0,0.25) 0 10px 30px` (deep ambient)
232- Product screenshots: 8–12px radius, full-width within dark containers
233
234## 6. Spacing
235
236- Base: 8px
237- Scale: `1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 35`
238- Section vertical: 80–120px
239- Card internal: 15–30px
240
241## 7. Radius scale
242
243`1 / 5–7 / 8 / 10–12 / 15–20 / 30–40 / 100` — pill (100px+) is reserved for primary CTAs and tags. Cards stay at 10–15px.
244
245## 8. Depth & elevation
246
247| Level | Treatment | Use |
248|-------|-----------|-----|
249| 0 | Pure black, no shadow | Page background |
250| 1 | `rgba(0,153,255,0.15) 0 0 0 1px` | Card borders, blue ring |
251| 2 | `#090909 0 0 0 2px` | Subtle near-black containment |
252| 3 | White edge highlight + deep ambient | Elevated cards, floating |
253
254**Inverted elevation.** Instead of darker shadows on lighter backgrounds, Voidstage uses blue-tinted ring shadows for containment, white edge highlights to simulate light hitting the top edge, and deep ambient shadows for true floating. There is no glassmorphism blur — translucency is achieved through simple rgba opacity.
255
256## 9. Do's & don'ts
257
258✅ **Do**
259- Use pure black (`#000000`) — never charcoal or warm dark
260- Apply extreme negative tracking on display (-3px to -5.5px)
261- Keep all buttons pill-shaped (40px+ radius)
262- Reserve electric blue (`#0099ff`) for interactive accents only
263- Apply blue ring shadows for card containment
264
265❌ **Don't**
266- Use warm dark backgrounds (`#1a1a1a`, `#2d2d2d`)
267- Use bold (700+) on display — medium 500 only
268- Introduce a second accent color — single accent system
269- Use squared corners on interactive elements
270- Add decorative imagery — the product is the illustration
