atris-design

Part of the Atris policy system. Prevents ai-generated frontend from looking generic.

Atris Integration

This skill uses the Atris workflow:

1. Check atris/MAP.md for existing patterns before building
2. Reference atris/policies/atris-design.md for full guidance
3. After building, run atris review to validate against this policy

Quick Reference

Typography: avoid inter/roboto/system fonts. pick one distinctive font, use weight extremes (200 vs 800).

Color: commit to a palette. dark backgrounds easier to make good. steal from linear.app, vercel.com, raycast.com.

Layout: break the hero + 3 cards + footer template. asymmetry is interesting. dramatic whitespace.

Motion: one well-timed animation beats ten scattered ones. 200-300ms ease-out.

Backgrounds: add depth. gradients, patterns, mesh effects. flat = boring.

Before Shipping Checklist

Run through atris/policies/atris-design.md "before shipping" section:

• can you name the aesthetic in 2-3 words?
• distinctive font, not default?
• at least one intentional animation?
• background has depth?
• would a designer clock this as ai-generated?
