Ghost UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Ghost-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building dark-mode interfaces
- •Creating Ghost-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 8
- •MUST use
#FFFFFFas page background (surface-base) - •SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 18 colors detected)
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #FFFFFF | rgb(255,255,255) | Page background |
surface-raised | #DAE1EC | rgb(218,225,236) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
surface-overlay | #0D0E10 | rgb(13,14,16) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
text-primary | #D8D9DC | rgb(216,217,220) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary | #333437 | rgb(51,52,55) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary | #4C4E53 | rgb(76,78,83) | Additional text |
border-default | #DBE0E8 | rgb(219,224,232) | Subtle borders, dividers |
warning | #FAB429 | rgb(250,180,41) | Warning states, cautions |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
73px/700for primary headings - •MUST use
26px/500for 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 42x)
Font Sizes: 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 18px, 23px, 24px, 26px, 73px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px
- •SHOULD use 65px 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, 4px, 7px, 13px, 16px
- •SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 6px
- •SHOULD use 13px 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, 4px, 7px, 13px, 16px
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 260px, 10px, 8px, 13px, 35px
- •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: 1635px, height: 1080px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #757678 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#5E6AD2) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#DAE1ECbackground - •List items: use
#DAE1ECbackground
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
