Mobbin UI Skills

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

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

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

Colors

• SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
• MUST use #FFFFFF as page background (surface-base)
• SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 11 colors detected)
• MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Semantic Tokens

Token	HEX	RGB	Usage
surface-base	#FFFFFF	rgb(255,255,255)	Page background
surface-raised	#0F0F0F	rgb(15,15,15)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
surface-overlay	#EEEEEF	rgb(238,238,239)	Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns
text-primary	#B1B1B1	rgb(177,177,177)	Headings, body text
text-secondary	#939393	rgb(147,147,147)	Secondary, muted text
text-tertiary	#4A4A4A	rgb(74,74,74)	Additional text
border-default	#DEDEDE	rgb(222,222,222)	Subtle borders, dividers

Typography

• MUST use Inter as primary font family
• SHOULD use single font family for consistency
• MUST use 75px / 700 for primary headings
• MUST use 18px / 400 for body text
• MUST limit font weights to: bold, regular, medium
• 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	75px	700	#1B1B1B	1
text-20px	Inter	20px	500	#ACACAC	1
text-19px	Inter	19px	400	#7C7C7C	1
body	Inter	18px	400	#B3B3B3	1
body-secondary	Inter	18px	500	#3A3A3A	1
body-secondary	Inter	16px	500	#AFAFAF	2
body-secondary	Inter	16px	500	#B2B2B2	1
body-secondary	Inter	16px	500	#B5B5B5	1
body-secondary	Inter	15px	400	#4D4D4D	2
body-secondary	Inter	15px	500	#B1B1B1	1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

• Inter (used 17x)

Font Sizes: 8px, 11px, 12px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 20px, 75px

Spacing

• MUST use 4px grid for spacing
• SHOULD use spacing from scale: 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 18px
• SHOULD use 5px 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: 8px, 21px, 22px, 28px
• SHOULD use 21px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
• MUST use 1px border width consistently
• SHOULD use 21px 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: 8px, 21px, 22px, 28px

Layout

• MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
• SHOULD use consistent element widths: 72px, 61px, 27px, 78px
• 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: 850px
• Header: height: 49px

Components

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#4A4A4A	none	-	-

Interactive States

Focus

• MUST use 2px outline with accent color (#5E6AD2)
• MUST use 2px outline-offset
• NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

• Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
• Buttons (secondary): use #0F0F0F background
• List items: use #0F0F0F 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
