Planetscale UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Planetscale-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building dark-mode interfaces
- •Creating Planetscale-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 0
- •MUST use
#000000as page background (surface-base) - •MUST use
#7967D3for primary actions and focus states (accent) - •SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 23 colors detected)
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

text-tertiary | #54565C | rgb(84,86,92) | Additional text |
border-default | #D44927 | rgb(212,73,39) | Subtle borders, dividers |
destructive | #EC4011 | rgb(236,64,17) | Error states, delete actions |
success | #41D731 | rgb(65,215,49) | Success states, confirmations |
accent | #7967D3 | rgb(121,103,211) | 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
17px/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 55x)
Font Sizes: 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 17px, 18px, 21px, 22px, 23px, 24px, 25px, 26px, 29px, 30px, 31px, 34px, 35px, 38px, 39px, 40px, 44px, 51px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 25px, 28px, 32px
- •SHOULD use 38px 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: 220px, 221px, 2px, 30px, 1px
- •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: 1041px
- •Main Content: width: 1114px, height: 664px
- •Main Content: width: 1104px, height: 667px
- •Header: height: 39px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #F0B095 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#7967D3) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#F8F8F9background - •List items: use
#F8F8F9background
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
