What this skill does
Web Prototype — Soft Premium For briefs that ask for "Apple-like", "Linear-tier", "premium consumer", "calm SaaS", or "$150k agency" finish. The aesthetic is soft, weighty, and obsessive about nested architecture. Source Distilled from Leonxlnx/taste-skill — skills/soft-skill/SKILL.md ("Vanguard UI Architect") with the haptic micro-aesthetics, double-bezel architecture, and motion choreography rules. See example.html in this directory for a fully-realized template. Hard rules Canvas: silver-grey or warm cream (#F2F2F0 or #FDFBF7). Not pure white. Type pairing: display in Geist / Plus Jakarta Sans / Cabinet Grotesk at heavy weight, body in the same family, monospace meta in Geist Mono. Display: clamp(48px, 7vw, 96px), letter-spacing: -0.035em, line-height: 0.96. Heavy weight (700+). Squircle radii: border-radius: 28px–40px (rounded-[2rem] to rounded-[2.5rem]) on major surfaces. Double-bezel mandatory: every important card is a wrapper (p-1.5, hairline border, soft outer shadow) containing an inner core with its own background and a concentric smaller radius (e.g., outer 2rem, inner calc(2rem - 0.375rem)). CTA = button-in-button: primary CTAs are full pills (rounded-full px-6 py-3); the trailing arrow lives inside its own circular wrapper flush-right. Ambient depth: one slow-drifting radial mesh blob behind hero, opacity ≤ 0.18, pointer-events: none, fixed. Eyebrow tag above each section header: pill, uppercase mono, letter-spacing: 0.2em, text-[10px]. Banned Inter, Roboto, Helvetica, Open Sans. Generic 1px solid gray borders (use border-black/5 / ring-1 ring-black/5). shadow-md, shadow-lg, hard drop shadows. Only diffuse, wide-spread, low-opacity (0 20px 40px -15px rgba(0,0,0,0.05)). Edge-to-edge sticky navbars glued to the top. Use a floating glass pill (mt-6 mx-auto w-max rounded-full). Linear or ease-in-out transitions. Use cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.72, 0, 1) or spring physics. h-screen (use min-h-[100dvh]). Animating width / height / top / left. …
