The skill
Design constraints for building Deel-style web UIs with Inter font, a 4px spacing grid, light-mode surfaces, and specific color tokens such as #FDFDFD page background and #A2CDFB accent, plus focus ring, border radius, typography, layout, and animation rules. Use when writing or reviewing CSS, Tailwind classes, or React components that should match Deel's visual system, or when asked to build an interface in that style.
Deel UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Deel-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Building light-mode interfaces
- Creating Deel-inspired design systems
- Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
- MUST use
#FDFDFDas page background (surface-base) - MUST use
#A2CDFBfor primary actions and focus states (accent) - SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 32 colors detected)
- MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base |
#FDFDFD | rgb(253,253,253) | Page background |
surface-raised |
#141414 | rgb(20,20,20) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
surface-overlay |
#000000 | rgb(0,0,0) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
text-primary |
#909090 | rgb(144,144,144) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary |
#C4C4C4 | rgb(196,196,196) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary |
#344C65 | rgb(52,76,101) | Additional text |
border-default |
#86ADD7 | rgb(134,173,215) | Subtle borders, dividers |
accent |
#A2CDFB | rgb(162,205,251) | Primary actions, links, focus |
warning |
#907848 | rgb(144,120,72) | Warning states, cautions |
Typography
- MUST use
Interas primary font family - SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- MUST use
53px/700for primary headings - MUST use
15px/400for body text - SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 6 detected)
- MUST use
text-balancefor headings andtext-prettyfor body text - SHOULD use
tabular-numsfor numeric data - NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested
Text Styles
| Style | Font | Size | Weight | Color | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Inter | 53px | 700 | #27303B | 1 |

Typography Reference
Font Families:
Inter(used 75x)
Font Sizes: 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 15px, 16px, 18px, 24px, 25px, 26px, 27px, 51px, 53px
Spacing
- MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px
- SHOULD use 2px as default gap between elements
- NEVER use arbitrary spacing values (use design scale)
- SHOULD maintain consistent padding within containers
Borders
- MUST use border-radius from scale: 0px, 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 9px, 12px, 15px, 17px, 18px, 22px, 23px
- SHOULD use 22px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
- SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px
- SHOULD use 3px as default border-radius
- NEVER use arbitrary border-radius values (use design scale)
- SHOULD use subtle borders (1px) for element separation
Border Radius Reference
Scale: 0px, 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 9px, 12px, 15px, 17px, 18px, 22px, 23px
Layout
- MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- SHOULD use consistent element widths: 9px, 12px, 11px, 20px, 14px
- SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
- NEVER use
h-screen, useh-dvhfor full viewport height - MUST respect
safe-area-insetfor fixed elements - SHOULD use
size-*for square elements instead ofw-*+h-*
Detected Layout Patterns
- Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 876px
- Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 879px
- Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 596px
- Header: height: 64px
- Header: height: 63px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #344C65 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#A2CDFB) - MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- Buttons (secondary): use
#141414background - List items: use
#141414background
Disabled
- MUST use
opacity: 0.5 - MUST use
cursor: not-allowed
Interaction
- MUST use an
AlertDialogfor destructive or irreversible actions - SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
- MUST show errors next to where the action happens
- NEVER block paste in
inputortextareaelements - MUST add an
aria-labelto icon-only buttons
Animation
- NEVER add animation unless it is explicitly requested
- MUST animate only compositor props (
transform,opacity) - NEVER animate layout properties (
width,height,top,left,margin,padding) - SHOULD use
ease-outon entrance animations - NEVER exceed
200msfor interaction feedback - SHOULD respect
prefers-reduced-motion
Performance
- NEVER animate large
blur()orbackdrop-filtersurfaces - NEVER apply
will-changeoutside an active animation - NEVER use
useEffectfor anything that can be expressed as render logic
