Framer UI Skills

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

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Building dark-mode interfaces
• Creating Framer-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)
• SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 22 colors detected)
• 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	#141415	rgb(20,20,21)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
surface-overlay	#F8F8F1	rgb(248,248,241)	Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns
text-primary	#89786E	rgb(137,120,110)	Headings, body text
text-2	#D8AD9D	rgb(216,173,157)	Additional text
text-tertiary	#D1CFD0	rgb(209,207,208)	Additional text
border-default	#494453	rgb(73,68,83)	Subtle borders, dividers
destructive	#D8AD9D	rgb(216,173,157)	Error states, delete actions
warning	#F8F8F1	rgb(248,248,241)	Warning states, cautions

Typography

• MUST use Inter as primary font family
• SHOULD use single font family for consistency
• MUST use 93px / 700 for primary headings
• MUST use 23px / 500 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	93px	700	#F4F4F4	1
body	Inter	23px	500	#737373	1
body-secondary	Inter	22px	700	#DCB8B8	1
body-secondary	Inter	22px	400	#B2B2B1	1
text-20px	Inter	20px	300	#777777	1
text-18px	Inter	18px	400	#6D635E	1
text-16px	Inter	16px	400	#929290	1
text-14px	Inter	14px	400	#949493	1
text-14px	Inter	14px	300	#DFDBD7	1
text-14px	Inter	14px	300	#2F2F31	1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

• Inter (used 62x)

Font Sizes: 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 11px, 13px, 14px, 16px, 18px, 20px, 22px, 23px, 93px

Spacing

• MUST use 4px grid for spacing
• SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 9px
• SHOULD use 2px 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: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 15px, 17px
• SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px
• SHOULD use 4px 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: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 15px, 17px

Layout

• MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
• SHOULD use consistent element widths: 22px, 21px, 43px, 34px, 10px
• 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: 1080px
• Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 755px
• Header: height: 72px

Components

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#4D4E4C	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 #141415 background
• List items: use #141415 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
