Overview

This skill defines the standards for UI development within the project. It ensures visual consistency, accessibility, and maintainability by using a structured design system based on OKLCH and shadcn/ui.

Guidelines

1. Theme System (OKLCH & CSS Variables)

The project uses a layered Design Token system. Always prefer semantic classes over raw colors.

  • Primitives: Base colors in src/themes/primitives.css (Do not use directly).
  • Semantic Tokens: Functional naming in light.css / dark.css.
    • Backgrounds: bg-canvas, bg-surface, bg-subtle
    • Foregrounds: text-main, text-subtle, text-muted
    • Borders: border-main, border-subtle, border-strong
    • Brand: brand-main, brand-subtle, brand-strong
<div className="bg-bg-surface text-text-main border-border-subtle shadow-md p-4 rounded-lg">
  <h1 className="text-brand">Heading</h1>
  <p className="text-text-subtle">Subtle text description.</p>
</div>

2. Component Organization

  • UI Primitives: src/components/ui/ (shadcn/ui managed, DO NOT MODIFY).
  • Feature Components: src/components/features/[module]/ (Organized by business module).
  • Common Components: src/components/common/ (Generic, non-business specific).

3. Component Standards

For detailed component contracts (Named Exports, RSC First, Props Typing, CAS annotations), refer to:

AGENTS.md - Atomic Component Contract

4. File Naming

  • Components: kebab-case.tsx (e.g., login-form.tsx)
  • Hooks: use-kebab-case.ts (e.g., use-mobile.ts)

[!IMPORTANT] Zero Hardcoded Strings: All user-facing text must use the useT hook for i18n.
