Lattice UI Skills

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

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Building light-mode interfaces
  • Creating Lattice-inspired design systems
  • Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

Colors

  • SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
  • MUST use #FEFDFC as page background (surface-base)
  • MUST use #26B177 for primary actions and focus states (accent)
  • SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 37 colors detected)
  • MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Semantic Tokens

Token HEX RGB Usage
surface-base #FEFDFC rgb(254,253,252) Page background
surface-raised #DDFCDA rgb(221,252,218) Cards, modals, raised surfaces
surface-overlay #EDFAF3 rgb(237,250,243) Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns
text-primary #6B6F6E rgb(107,111,110) Headings, body text
text-secondary #969C9B rgb(150,156,155) Secondary, muted text
text-tertiary #5E9892 rgb(94,152,146) Additional text
border-default #F5F4F2 rgb(245,244,242) Subtle borders, dividers
accent #26B177 rgb(38,177,119) Primary actions, links, focus
success #EDFAF3 rgb(237,250,243) Success states, confirmations
warning #FEFDFC rgb(254,253,252) Warning states, cautions

Typography

  • MUST use Inter as primary font family
  • SHOULD use single font family for consistency
  • MUST use 71px / 700 for primary headings
  • MUST use 40px / 700 for body text
  • SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 6 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 71px 700 #122424 1
heading-2 Inter 71px 700 #205D42 1
text-57px Inter 57px 700 #144F36 1
body Inter 40px 700 #162625 1
text-21px Inter 21px 500 #929896 1
text-20px Inter 20px 400 #3B4342 1
text-20px Inter 20px 400 #919593 1
text-19px Inter 19px 500 #949A98 1
text-19px Inter 19px 500 #9AA09F 1
text-17px Inter 17px 400 #626968 1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

  • Inter (used 76x)

Font Sizes: 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 17px, 19px, 20px, 21px, 40px, 57px, 71px

Spacing

  • MUST use 4px grid for spacing
  • SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px
  • SHOULD use 1px 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, 8px, 9px, 10px, 12px, 13px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 56px, 63px
  • SHOULD use 56px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
  • SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px
  • SHOULD use 4px 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, 8px, 9px, 10px, 12px, 13px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 56px, 63px

Layout

  • MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
  • SHOULD use consistent element widths: 6px, 15px, 7px, 14px, 474px
  • 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: 918px
  • Header: height: 47px

Components

Buttons

Variant Background Text Border Height Radius
Ghost transparent - none - -

Interactive States

Focus

  • MUST use 2px outline with accent color (#26B177)
  • MUST use 2px outline-offset
  • NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

  • Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
  • Buttons (secondary): use #DDFCDA background
  • List items: use #DDFCDA 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
