> Guidelines for building Pitch-style web UIs with CSS and Tailwind-style utilities: light-mode surfac

Guidelines for building Pitch-style web UIs with CSS and Tailwind-style utilities: light-mode surfaces, Inter font, 4px spacing grid, 6px default radius, a #5836F6 accent for focus and primary actions, and rules for focus rings, reduced motion, and dialogs. Use when building or restyling React or HTML interfaces that should match Pitch's visual system, or when reviewing UI code for these design tokens.

# Pitch UI Skills

Opinionated constraints for building Pitch-style interfaces with AI agents.

## When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
- Building light-mode interfaces
- Creating Pitch-inspired design systems
- Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

## Colors

- SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
- MUST use `#000000` as page background (`surface-base`)
- MUST use `#5836F6` for primary actions and focus states (`accent`)
- SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 28 colors detected)
- MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

### Semantic Tokens

| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|-------|-----|-----|-------|
| `surface-base` | #000000 | rgb(0,0,0) | Page background |
| `surface-raised` | #FDFDFD | rgb(253,253,253) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
| `surface-overlay` | #5836F6 | rgb(88,54,246) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
| `text-primary` | #7D7D7D | rgb(125,125,125) | Headings, body text |
| `text-secondary` | #929293 | rgb(146,146,147) | Secondary, muted text |
| `text-tertiary` | #868856 | rgb(134,136,86) | Additional text |
| `border-default` | #F3F3F3 | rgb(243,243,243) | Subtle borders, dividers |
| `accent` | #5836F6 | rgb(88,54,246) | Primary actions, links, focus |

## Typography

- MUST use `Inter` as primary font family
- SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- MUST use `68px` / `700` for primary headings
- MUST use `26px` / `semi_bold` for body text
- SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 5 detected)
- MUST use `text-balance` for headings and `text-pretty` for body text
- SHOULD use `tabular-nums` for numeric data
- NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested

### Text Styles

| Style | Font | Size | Weight | Color | Count |
|-------|------|------|--------|-------|-------|
| `heading-1` | Inter | 68px | 700 | #F5EEFA | 1 |
| `body` | Inter | 26px | semi_bold | #E4D1F9 | 1 |
| `text-23px` | Inter | 23px | 400 | #D8B1F7 | 1 |
| `text-19px` | Inter | 19px | 300 | #B47CF7 | 1 |
| `text-18px` | Inter | 18px | 500 | #3D3F3B | 1 |
| `text-18px` | Inter | 18px | 400 | #BE84F8 | 1 |
| `text-16px` | Inter | 16px | 400 | #8768D8 | 1 |
| `text-16px` | Inter | 16px | 400 | #8768D4 | 1 |
| `text-16px` | Inter | 16px | 400 | #E2C5F7 | 1 |
| `text-15px` | Inter | 15px | 400 | #BB82F9 | 1 |

### Typography Reference

**Font Families:**
- `Inter` (used 39x)

**Font Sizes:** 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 23px, 26px, 68px

## Spacing

- MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 7px, 8px, 9px
- SHOULD use 4px 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: 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px
- SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px, 3px
- SHOULD use 6px 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:** 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px

## Layout

- MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- SHOULD use consistent element widths: 14px, 20px, 17px, 19px, 9px
- SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
- NEVER use `h-screen`, use `h-dvh` for full viewport height
- MUST respect `safe-area-inset` for fixed elements
- SHOULD use `size-*` for square elements instead of `w-*` + `h-*`

### Detected Layout Patterns

- **Main Content**: width: 1920px, height: 1038px
- **Main Content**: width: 1920px, height: 798px
- **Header**: height: 39px

## Components

### Buttons

| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---------|------------|------|--------|--------|--------|
| Ghost | transparent | #868856 | none | - | - |

## Interactive States

### Focus

- MUST use `2px` outline with accent color (`#5836F6`)
- MUST use `2px` outline-offset
- NEVER remove focus indicators

### Hover

- Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- Buttons (secondary): use `#FDFDFD` background
- List items: use `#FDFDFD` background

### Disabled

- MUST use `opacity: 0.5`
- MUST use `cursor: not-allowed`

## Interaction

- MUST use an `AlertDialog` for destructive or irreversible actions
- SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
- MUST show errors next to where the action happens
- NEVER block paste in `input` or `textarea` elements
- MUST add an `aria-label` to 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-out` on entrance animations
- NEVER exceed `200ms` for interaction feedback
- SHOULD respect `prefers-reduced-motion`

## Performance

- NEVER animate large `blur()` or `backdrop-filter` surfaces
- NEVER apply `will-change` outside an active animation
- NEVER use `useEffect` for anything that can be expressed as render logic
