Beehiiv UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Beehiiv-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building light-mode interfaces
- •Creating Beehiiv-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
- •MUST use
#221FABas page background (surface-base) - •MUST use
#221FABfor primary actions and focus states (accent) - •SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 19 colors detected)
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #221FAB | rgb(34,31,171) | Page background |
surface-raised | #070512 | rgb(7,5,18) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
text-primary | #B6B8E7 | rgb(182,184,231) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary | #B9B7BF | rgb(185,183,191) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary | #626076 | rgb(98,96,118) | Additional text |
border-default | #252494 | rgb(37,36,148) | Subtle borders, dividers |
accent | #221FAB | rgb(34,31,171) | Primary actions, links, focus |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
51px/700for primary headings - •MUST use
12px/400for body text - •SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 5 detected)
- •MUST use
text-balancefor headings andtext-prettyfor body text - •SHOULD use
tabular-numsfor numeric data - •NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested

Typography Reference
Font Families:
- •
Inter(used 61x)
Font Sizes: 5px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 17px, 18px, 19px, 20px, 21px, 22px, 23px, 26px, 34px, 41px, 51px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 4px, 5px, 15px, 21px, 23px, 53px, 56px, 79px
- •SHOULD use 4px 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: 3px
- •SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px
- •SHOULD use 3px 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: 3px
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 13px, 14px, 26px, 31px, 65px
- •SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
- •NEVER use
h-screen, useh-dvhfor full viewport height - •MUST respect
safe-area-insetfor fixed elements - •SHOULD use
size-*for square elements instead ofw-*+h-*
Detected Layout Patterns
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 999px
- •Header: height: 78px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #B6B8E7 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#221FAB) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#070512background - •List items: use
#070512background
Disabled
- •MUST use
opacity: 0.5 - •MUST use
cursor: not-allowed
Interaction
- •MUST use an
AlertDialogfor destructive or irreversible actions - •SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
- •MUST show errors next to where the action happens
- •NEVER block paste in
inputortextareaelements - •MUST add an
aria-labelto 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-outon entrance animations - •NEVER exceed
200msfor interaction feedback - •SHOULD respect
prefers-reduced-motion
Performance
- •NEVER animate large
blur()orbackdrop-filtersurfaces - •NEVER apply
will-changeoutside an active animation - •NEVER use
useEffectfor anything that can be expressed as render logic
