Ticktick UI Skills
Opinionated constraints for building Ticktick-style interfaces with AI agents.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- •Building light-mode interfaces
- •Creating Ticktick-inspired design systems
- •Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid
Colors
- •SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
- •MUST use
#FEFEFEas page background (surface-base) - •MUST use
#6E85D9for primary actions and focus states (accent) - •SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 18 colors detected)
- •MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility
Semantic Tokens

|---|---|---|---|
surface-base | #FEFEFE | rgb(254,254,254) | Page background |
surface-raised | #D8EDF7 | rgb(216,237,247) | Cards, modals, raised surfaces |
surface-overlay | #3656F8 | rgb(54,86,248) | Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns |
text-primary | #CACACA | rgb(202,202,202) | Headings, body text |
text-secondary | #8D8D8D | rgb(141,141,141) | Secondary, muted text |
text-tertiary | #B7C0DE | rgb(183,192,222) | Additional text |
border-default | #9AAFD4 | rgb(154,175,212) | Subtle borders, dividers |
accent | #6E85D9 | rgb(110,133,217) | 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
13px/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 62x)
Font Sizes: 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 20px, 51px
Spacing
- •MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- •SHOULD use spacing from scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 9px, 14px, 15px, 20px
- •SHOULD use 5px 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, 16px, 22px, 23px, 25px
- •SHOULD use 22px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
- •MUST use 1px border width consistently
- •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, 16px, 22px, 23px, 25px
Layout
- •MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- •SHOULD use consistent element widths: 16px, 15px, 14px, 13px, 8px
- •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: 1038px
- •Main Content: width: 1001px, height: 583px
- •Header: height: 76px
Components
Buttons
| Variant | Background | Text | Border | Height | Radius |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ghost | transparent | #C3C2D0 | none | - | - |
Interactive States
Focus
- •MUST use
2pxoutline with accent color (#6E85D9) - •MUST use
2pxoutline-offset - •NEVER remove focus indicators
Hover
- •Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
- •Buttons (secondary): use
#D8EDF7background - •List items: use
#D8EDF7background
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
