name: xaem-two-pass-theme-then-code-ui description: Faithful two-pass prompting system that first forges high-entropy, metaphor-driven UI design themes (with strong examples + IP safeguards), lets the user choose ONE, then generates high-fidelity production HTML/CSS that strictly inherits the chosen conceptual DNA.

XAEM Two-Pass Theme → Code UI Skill

This skill MUST be run as a two-stage pipeline. The power comes from pressure, specificity, and inheritance.

DO NOT collapse steps. DO NOT simplify prompts. DO NOT generate code before the user chooses a theme.

WHEN TO USE

Use this skill when:

• Generic UI output is unacceptable
• You want conceptual density, not “nice layouts”
• You want designs driven by physical metaphors, not style labels
• You want the second pass to inherit momentum from the first

INPUTS

Required:

• USER_PROMPT — what the UI should do or represent

Optional config:

• MODEL_PROVIDER = gemini | openrouter
• MODEL_ID (openrouter only)
• TEMP_THEME = 0.9
• TEMP_CODE = 0.9
• TEMP_VARIATIONS = 1.2

Environment:

• API_KEY (Gemini)
• OPENROUTER_API_KEY

HARD RULES (DO NOT VIOLATE)

• NEVER use artist names
• NEVER use brand names
• NEVER use design trend labels alone (e.g. “brutalist”, “neumorphic”)
• ALL styles must be explained via physicality + material logic
• ALL code output must be RAW HTML + embedded CSS
• NO markdown fences in model output

STEP 1 — THEME FORGING PASS (NON-STREAMING)

PROMPT (USE VERBATIM)

Generate 3 DISTINCT, HIGH-ENTROPY DESIGN DIRECTIONS for:

""

You are a master UI/UX designer whose job is to invent new visual systems.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STRICT IP SAFEGUARD ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

• Do NOT reference artists
• Do NOT reference brands
• Do NOT reference movies, games, or existing products
• Use ONLY physical, spatial, and material metaphors

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CRITICAL GUIDANCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ You are NOT naming styles. You are INVENTING DESIGN SYSTEMS.

Each direction must feel like it came from a different physical universe.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ EXAMPLES (DO NOT COPY — MATCH DEPTH & DENSITY) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Example A: "Asymmetrical Primary Grid" (Heavy rectilinear blocks, uneven column tension, flat primary pigments, structural black strokes, high-contrast white voids)

Example B: "Suspended Kinetic Mobile" (Floating organic forms, wire-thin connections, slow-motion balance, gravity-aware spacing, white-void background)

Example C: "Grainy Risograph Press" (Overprinted translucent inks, misaligned layers, dithered gradients, tactile paper substrate, imperfect registration)

Example D: "Volumetric Spectral Fluid" (Morphing gradient volumes, soft-focus diffusion, bioluminescent light sources, chromatic aberration at edges)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ YOUR TASK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Return ONLY a raw JSON array of 3 NEW NAMES. Each name must imply:

• a physical process
• a material system
• a spatial logic

NO descriptions. NO markdown. NO commentary.

Example format: ["Tectonic Pigment Slabs", "Suspended Luminous Filaments", "Compressed Ink Strata"]

STEP 2 — USER SELECTION (MANDATORY PAUSE)

UI BEHAVIOR

Present the 3 themes as:

1. Theme One
2. Theme Two
3. Theme Three

Ask the user:

“Pick 1, 2, or 3 (or paste the theme name).”

⛔ DO NOT generate code until a selection is made.

STEP 3 — COMPONENT GENERATION PASS (STREAMING)

PROMPT (USE VERBATIM)

You are Flash UI.

Create a stunning, high-fidelity UI component for:

""

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CONCEPTUAL DIRECTION ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This is NOT a suggestion. This is the governing physics of the interface.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ VISUAL EXECUTION RULES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1. MATERIALITY
   Every visual choice must express the metaphor. If it’s “ink”, use blending, layering, turbulence. If it’s “suspension”, use spacing, tension, imbalance.

2. TYPOGRAPHY
   Use real web fonts. Pair a bold structural sans-serif with a precise monospace for data.

3. LAYOUT
   Exploit negative space aggressively. Create hierarchy through mass, tension, and rhythm. Avoid generic cards.

4. MOTION
   Include subtle, high-performance transitions. Motion must reinforce the physical metaphor.

5. IP SAFEGUARD
   No artists. No brands. No trademarks.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ OUTPUT ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Return ONLY raw HTML with embedded CSS. NO markdown fences. NO explanations.

OPTIONAL STEP 4 — RADICAL VARIATIONS

Generate ONLY if user clicks “Variations”.

PROMPT

Generate 3 RADICAL CONCEPTUAL VARIATIONS of:

""

Each variation must:

• Invent a NEW physical metaphor
• Push the visual system dramatically
• Still feel intentional and production-grade

For EACH variation:

• Create a persona name
• Generate full HTML/CSS

Stream ONE JSON object per line: { "name": "Persona Name", "html": "..." }

OPTIONAL STEP 5 — FULL HOMEPAGE EXPANSION

Generate ONLY if user clicks “Full Homepage”.

Expand the chosen component into:

• 8 UNIQUE horizontal sections
• Each section structurally different
• Same aesthetic DNA
• Increasing / decreasing density rhythm

Rules:

• Do NOT reinvent the style
• EVOLVE it
• Output ONLY raw HTML + CSS

WHY THIS WORKS

• Examples set entropy floor
• Capitalization enforces compliance
• Physical metaphors prevent generic design
• User choice preserves momentum
• Second pass inherits conceptual gravity

This skill is intentionally heavy-handed. That’s why it works.
