Robinhood UI Skills

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

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

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

Colors

• MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 0
• MUST use #000000 as page background (surface-base)
• MUST use #B7DF2F for primary actions and focus states (accent)
• SHOULD limit color palette to 10 distinct colors
• MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Semantic Tokens

Token	HEX	RGB	Usage
surface-base	#000000	rgb(0,0,0)	Page background
surface-raised	#C3FE09	rgb(195,254,9)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
text-primary	#A0A0A0	rgb(160,160,160)	Headings, body text
text-2	#ECECEC	rgb(236,236,236)	Additional text
text-secondary	#497009	rgb(73,112,9)	Secondary, muted text
border-default	#B7DF2F	rgb(183,223,47)	Subtle borders, dividers
accent	#B7DF2F	rgb(183,223,47)	Primary actions, links, focus

Typography

• MUST use Inter as primary font family
• SHOULD use single font family for consistency
• MUST use 85px / 700 for primary headings
• MUST use 14px / 400 for body text
• SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 4 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	85px	700	#ECECEC	1
text-18px	Inter	18px	500	#D9D9D9	1
text-17px	Inter	17px	400	#A0A0A0	1
body	Inter	14px	400	#A1A1A1	2
body-secondary	Inter	14px	400	#497009	1
body-secondary	Inter	14px	400	#899C47	1
body-secondary	Inter	14px	400	#A0A0A0	1
caption	Inter	11px	400	#A2A2A2	2
label	Inter	11px	300	#909090	1
label	Inter	11px	400	#A1A1A1	1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

• Inter (used 13x)

Font Sizes: 11px, 14px, 17px, 18px, 85px

Spacing

• MUST use 4px grid for spacing
• SHOULD use spacing from scale: 4px, 5px, 6px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 17px, 19px
• SHOULD use 4px 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: 19px, 21px
• SHOULD use 21px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
• SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px
• 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: 19px, 21px

Layout

• MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
• SHOULD use consistent element widths: 12px, 74px
• 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: 1016px
• Header: height: 64px
• Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 608px
• Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 1001px
• Header: height: 63px

Components

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#497009	none	-	-

Interactive States

Focus

• MUST use 2px outline with accent color (#B7DF2F)
• MUST use 2px outline-offset
• NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

• Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
• Buttons (secondary): use #C3FE09 background
• List items: use #C3FE09 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
