Rippling UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Rippling-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building dark-mode interfaces
- •Creating Rippling-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
#FDF6FDfor 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 | #000000 | rgb(0,0,0) | Page background |
surface-raised | #FD9717 | rgb(253,151,23) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
surface-overlay | #FEFEFE | rgb(254,254,254) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
text-primary | #8D8884 | rgb(141,136,132) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary | #23201F | rgb(35,32,31) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary | #713C12 | rgb(113,60,18) | Additional text |
border-default | #F9E2C1 | rgb(249,226,193) | Subtle borders, dividers |
accent | #FDF6FD | rgb(253,246,253) | Primary actions, links, focus |
destructive | #713C12 | rgb(113,60,18) | Error states, delete actions |
warning | #FD9717 | rgb(253,151,23) | Warning states, cautions |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
43px/extra_boldfor primary headings - •MUST use
16px/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
Text Styles

Typography Reference
Font Families:
- •
Inter(used 27x)
Font Sizes: 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 16px, 39px, 43px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 2px, 3px, 5px, 15px, 71px
- •SHOULD use 2px as default gap between elements
- •NEVER use arbitrary spacing values (use design scale)
- •SHOULD maintain consistent padding within containers
Borders
- •SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 5px
- •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: 14px, 8px, 22px, 506px, 24px
- •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: 788px
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 717px
- •Header: height: 70px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #713C12 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#FDF6FD) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#FD9717background - •List items: use
#FD9717background
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
