Codeium UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Codeium-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building dark-mode interfaces
- •Creating Codeium-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 17
- •MUST use
#152443as page background (surface-base) - •MUST use
#32E5ADfor primary actions and focus states (accent) - •SHOULD limit color palette to 7 distinct colors
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #152443 | rgb(21,36,67) | Page background |
surface-raised | #32E5AD | rgb(50,229,173) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
text-primary | #ACB9C8 | rgb(172,185,200) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary | #136045 | rgb(19,96,69) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary | #CED5DB | rgb(206,213,219) | Additional text |
border-default | #253453 | rgb(37,52,83) | Subtle borders, dividers |
accent | #32E5AD | rgb(50,229,173) | Primary actions, links, focus |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
77px/700for primary headings - •MUST use
20px/400for body text - •MUST limit font weights to: regular, bold
- •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 13x)
Font Sizes: 10px, 13px, 14px, 17px, 20px, 77px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 5px, 6px, 16px, 29px, 42px
- •SHOULD use 6px as default gap between elements
- •NEVER use arbitrary spacing values (use design scale)
- •SHOULD maintain consistent padding within containers
Borders
- •MUST use 1px border width consistently
- •NEVER use arbitrary border-radius values (use design scale)
- •SHOULD use subtle borders (1px) for element separation
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 6px, 157px, 74px
- •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: 1080px
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 802px
- •Header: height: 84px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #B2BDCB | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#32E5AD) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#32E5ADbackground - •List items: use
#32E5ADbackground
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
