FloraCat Style Skill

Apply the FloraCat Morandi gray-blue style to the current project. This skill emphasizes understated elegance through muted blue-gray tones, light typography, fluid animations, and generous whitespace.

Design Philosophy

• Morandi Palette: Muted gray-blue tones that convey calm sophistication — never loud or saturated.
• Light Typography: Predominantly font-weight: 300 with serif headlines and monospace metadata.
• Fluid Motion: A signature cubic-bezier (0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) easing across all transitions.
• Generous Breathing Room: Large section padding, wide letter-spacing, and relaxed line-height.
• Layered Depth: Subtle directional shadows and glassmorphism (backdrop-blur) for hierarchy.

Quick Reference: Core CSS Variables

How to Apply

When the user invokes this skill, follow these steps:

1. Detect the tech stack (Next.js/Tailwind, plain CSS, Vue, etc.) and adapt output accordingly.
2. Install the color variables — Add the CSS custom properties to the project's global stylesheet.
3. Configure typography — Set up font imports (Inter from Google Fonts, plus serif/mono stacks) and base text styles.
4. Apply component patterns — Use the component specs to style navbars, cards, buttons, etc. as needed.
5. Wire up animations — Add the signature easing and fade-in-up keyframe to the project.
6. Set layout foundations — Configure container widths, section spacing, and responsive breakpoints.

Always prefer Tailwind utility classes when Tailwind is present. For plain CSS or other frameworks, output raw CSS variables and rulesets. Respect existing project structure — modify in place rather than overwriting.
