Quick Start: Analyze content (density × structure × mood) → Auto-sense tone for color palette → Pick a layout skeleton → Embed HTML directly in Markdown with <style scoped>.
IMPORTANT: Write info cards as direct HTML in Markdown. NEVER use code blocks (```html). The HTML should be embedded directly in the document without any fencing.
CRITICAL: Do NOT add any empty lines within the HTML info card structure. Keep the entire HTML block continuous to prevent parsing errors.
REQUIRED: Analyze content along three dimensions before designing:
Density (determines breathing rhythm):
| Density | Content Volume | Visual Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Low | ≤ 50 words core | "Big-character" composition. One oversized element dominates. Generous whitespace. |
| Medium | 50–200 words | Hero + supporting panels. 2–3 main blocks with clear hierarchy. |
| High | 200+ words | Asymmetric multi-column grids. Primary/secondary/supporting blocks. Never equal-weight tiles. |
Structure (determines layout geometry):
| Structure | Signal | Layout Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Single point | One core concept | One anchor element dominates, rest recedes |
| Contrast | A vs B, old vs new | Split panel, two poles |
| Hierarchy | Layers build on each other | Stacked modules, pyramid |
| Flow | Sequential steps | Vertical cascade, numbered items |
| Radial | Core + derivatives | Hub with surrounding panels |
| Parallel | Multiple equal concepts | Asymmetric grid (never equal columns) |
Mood (determines color temperature):
| Mood | Visual Feel |
|---|---|
| Reflective | More whitespace, serif-heavy, lower contrast |
| Sharp | Strong contrast, bold type, vivid accent |
| Warm | Earth tones, rounded feel, gentle rhythm |
| Technical | Monospace accents, grid-like density |
REQUIRED: Auto-select color palette based on content topic. Scan content keywords and match the closest tone:
| Content Tone | Background | Accent | Trigger Keywords |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philosophical | #FAF8F4 | #7C6853 | cognition, thinking, meaning, philosophy, essence |
| Technical | #F5F7FA | #3D5A80 | architecture, algorithm, system, API, code |
| Literary | #FBF9F1 | #6B4E3D | story, narrative, writing, poetry, character |
| Scientific | #F4F8F6 | #2D6A4F | experiment, data, research, paper, discovery |
| Business | #F4F3F0 | #2D6A4F | market, strategy, growth, finance, investment |
| Creative | #F6F3F2 | #B8432F | design, art, aesthetics, inspiration, creation |
| Default | #FAFAF8 | #4A4A4A | When no clear match — prefer default over wrong match |
When a style template is explicitly chosen, its colors take precedence over tone sensing. Use tone sensing as the default when no style is specified.
If the user provides a title explicitly, use it as-is for the main headline. Put editorial interpretation into subtitle, summary, or side modules. Do not silently rewrite the user's title.
Maintain a clear type scale and use it consistently:
32px–48px, weight 700–900, tight letter-spacing (-0.02em)16px–20px, weight 400–50014px–16px, weight 400, line-height 1.6–1.711px–13px, weight 500–700, uppercase with letter-spacing#1a1a1a, #333, or #4a4a4aAt least one module should feel visually heavier than the others. Avoid making every panel use the exact same treatment. Differentiate through scale, background tone, typographic weight, or accent rules.
Before finalizing any card, check against these common AI-generated visual patterns:
Layout:
2fr 1fr, asymmetric grids, or staggered layoutsTypography:
#000000 — Use off-black (#1a1a1a, #2d2a26) or warm/cool darkColor:
Content:
99.99%, 50%, 1234567. Use organic numbers (47.2%, 3.8M)Spacing:
Choose a visual family first, then pick the specific template inside that family. This keeps the library broad without forcing a flat 29-style scan every time.
