Brex UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Brex-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building light-mode interfaces
- •Creating Brex-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
- •MUST use
#D9D1CFas page background (surface-base) - •MUST use
#00070Dfor primary actions and focus states (accent) - •SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 13 colors detected)
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #D9D1CF | rgb(217,209,207) | Page background |
surface-raised | #FEFEFD | rgb(254,254,253) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
surface-overlay | #FF4206 | rgb(255,66,6) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
text-primary | #D98C71 | rgb(217,140,113) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary | #F3AB84 | rgb(243,171,132) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary | #949397 | rgb(148,147,151) | Additional text |
border-default | #DFE0E1 | rgb(223,224,225) | Subtle borders, dividers |
destructive | #D98C71 | rgb(217,140,113) | Error states, delete actions |
accent | #00070D | rgb(0,7,13) | Primary actions, links, focus |
warning | #FEFEFD | rgb(254,254,253) | Warning states, cautions |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
68px/700for primary headings - •MUST use
24px/400for body text - •MUST limit font weights to: medium, bold, regular
- •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 15x)
Font Sizes: 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 17px, 24px, 68px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 5px, 60px
- •SHOULD use 5px 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: 6px, 7px, 15px
- •MUST use 1px border width consistently
- •SHOULD use 7px 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: 6px, 7px, 15px
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 10px, 74px, 48px
- •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: 969px
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 752px
- •Header: height: 61px
- •Header: height: 50px
- •Header: height: 49px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #F3AB84 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#00070D) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#FEFEFDbackground - •List items: use
#FEFEFDbackground
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
