Mixpanel UI Skills

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

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

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

Colors

• SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
• MUST use #F4F3F4 as page background (surface-base)
• MUST use #201757 for 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	#F4F3F4	rgb(244,243,244)	Page background
surface-raised	#85292D	rgb(133,41,45)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
surface-overlay	#BF4038	rgb(191,64,56)	Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns
text-primary	#CFCFCF	rgb(207,207,207)	Headings, body text
text-secondary	#868686	rgb(134,134,134)	Secondary, muted text
text-tertiary	#737373	rgb(115,115,115)	Additional text
border-default	#D9D5F2	rgb(217,213,242)	Subtle borders, dividers
accent	#201757	rgb(32,23,87)	Primary actions, links, focus
destructive	#FAAEA0	rgb(250,174,160)	Error states, delete actions

Typography

• MUST use Inter as primary font family
• SHOULD use single font family for consistency
• MUST use 62px / 700 for primary headings
• MUST use 15px / 400 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	62px	700	#2C2B2D	1
text-28px	Inter	28px	semi_bold	#423C50	1
text-22px	Inter	22px	semi_bold	#505050	1
text-22px	Inter	22px	semi_bold	#4F4F4F	1
text-19px	Inter	19px	500	#4A4A4C	1
text-16px	Inter	16px	400	#CFCFCF	1
text-16px	Inter	16px	400	#717171	1
body	Inter	15px	400	#808080	1
body-secondary	Inter	15px	semi_bold	#313131	1
body-secondary	Inter	15px	500	#3E3E3E	1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

• Inter (used 129x)

Font Sizes: 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 19px, 22px, 28px, 62px

Spacing

• MUST use 4px grid for spacing
• SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px
• SHOULD use 3px 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: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 9px, 10px, 13px, 15px, 18px, 19px, 21px, 28px
• SHOULD use 21px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
• SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px
• 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: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 9px, 10px, 13px, 15px, 18px, 19px, 21px, 28px

Layout

• MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
• SHOULD use consistent element widths: 15px, 10px, 16px, 18px, 214px
• 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: 1080px
• Main Content: width: 1150px, height: 562px
• Header: height: 56px

Components

• MUST use 0px height for input fields

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#C0C0C0	none	-	-

Inputs

• Height: 0px

Interactive States

Focus

• MUST use 2px outline with accent color (#201757)
• MUST use 2px outline-offset
• NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

• Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
• Buttons (secondary): use #85292D background
• List items: use #85292D 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
