Supabase UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Supabase-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building dark-mode interfaces
- •Creating Supabase-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 7
- •MUST use
#121212as page background (surface-base) - •SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 16 colors detected)
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens
| Token | HEX | RGB | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #121212 | rgb(18,18,18) | Page background |
surface-raised | #000000 | rgb(0,0,0) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
surface-overlay | #0A502B | rgb(10,80,43) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
text-primary | #525252 | rgb(82,82,82) | Headings, body text |
text-2 | #9C9C9C | rgb(156,156,156) | Additional text |
text-secondary | #323232 | rgb(50,50,50) | Secondary, muted text |
border-default | #1A1A1A | rgb(26,26,26) | Subtle borders, dividers |
success | #3DB576 | rgb(61,181,118) | Success states, confirmations |
Typography
- •MUST use
Interas primary font family - •SHOULD use single font family for consistency
- •MUST use
56px/700for primary headings - •MUST use
15px/400for body text - •SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 4 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 38x)
Font Sizes: 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 21px, 55px, 56px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 16px, 40px, 61px
- •SHOULD use 3px 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, 5px, 6px, 7px, 9px, 10px, 13px, 16px
- •SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px
- •SHOULD use 3px 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, 5px, 6px, 7px, 9px, 10px, 13px, 16px
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 8px, 17px, 52px, 162px, 158px
- •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
- •Header: height: 66px
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 1014px
- •Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 1020px
- •Header: height: 63px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #4B7D64 | 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
#000000background - •List items: use
#000000background
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
