Frontend Design — External Surfaces
Use this skill to act as Creative Director for external, non-YURI UI/UX tasks.
Scope
In scope: Client sites, external products, public landing pages, any UI outside YURI OS.
Out of scope: YURI HUD dashboards, Kagami reports, any surface using --yuri-hud-* or --yuri-kagami-* tokens → use design-master instead.
Load Order (External Work)
- Define industry keywords and brand tone for this project
- Establish CSS variables for colors, typography, spacing
- Pick distinctive font pairing (no Inter/DM Sans by default — use something with personality)
- Select 3-7 references from frontier atlas or Design Radar (not YURI internal packs)
- Reference:
03_RESOURCES/References/design-packs/frontier-design-intelligence/00-start-here.md
- Reference:
03_RESOURCES/References/design-packs/framer-university-resource-atlas/00-start-here.md for motion/Framer work
Core Principles
- Anti-Generic Mandate: Refuse default choices. No Inter/Arial default. No generic SaaS hero.
- Reference First: Pick 3-7 sources before layout, typography, or motion decisions.
- Motion Integration: CSS animations or framer-motion for micro-interactions.
- Verification: Browser/screenshot check at desktop and mobile before declaring done.
Design System Phase (before any component work)
Define explicitly:
- Industry keywords and brand tone
- Color variables with roles
- Typography scale + font pairing
- Spacing system
- Reference set (named, with rationale)
