Todoist UI Skills

Opinionated constraints for building Todoist-style interfaces with AI agents.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

•Building light-mode interfaces
•Creating Todoist-inspired design systems
•Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

Colors

•SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
•MUST use #FDFCFA as page background (surface-base)
•SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 20 colors detected)
•MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Semantic Tokens

Token	HEX	RGB	Usage
`surface-base`	#FDFCFA	rgb(253,252,250)	Page background
`surface-raised`	#FDDECF	rgb(253,222,207)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
`surface-overlay`	#FDF3EA	rgb(253,243,234)	Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns
`text-primary`	#A6A6A6	rgb(166,166,166)	Headings, body text
`text-2`	#515250	rgb(81,82,80)	Additional text
`text-secondary`	#6B6A6A	rgb(107,106,106)	Secondary, muted text
`border-default`	#F6F1EF	rgb(246,241,239)	Subtle borders, dividers
`destructive`	#FDF3EA	rgb(253,243,234)	Error states, delete actions
`warning`	#FDFCFA	rgb(253,252,250)	Warning states, cautions

Typography

•MUST use Inter as primary font family
•SHOULD use single font family for consistency
•MUST use 55px / 700 for primary headings
•MUST use 13px / 400 for body text
•SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 5 detected)
•MUST use text-balance for headings and text-pretty for body text
•SHOULD use tabular-nums for numeric data
•NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested

Text Styles

Style	Font	Size	Weight	Color	Count
`heading-1`	Inter	55px	700	#2B2A26	1
`text-22px`	Inter	22px	400	#606159	1
`text-21px`	Inter	21px	500	#C95958	1
`text-20px`	Inter	20px	400	#66675E	1
`text-19px`	Inter	19px	400	#777674	1
`text-18px`	Inter	18px	500	#969591	1
`text-18px`	Inter	18px	400	#A4A3A1	1
`text-18px`	Inter	18px	extra_bold	#8B8C86	1
`text-16px`	Inter	16px	500	#F1BCAF	1
`text-16px`	Inter	16px	400	#52534D	1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

•Inter (used 75x)

Font Sizes: 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 9px, 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 20px, 21px, 22px, 55px

Spacing

•MUST use 4px grid for spacing
•SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 10px
•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: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 9px, 10px
•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: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 9px, 10px

Layout

•MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
•SHOULD use consistent element widths: 7px, 8px, 10px, 11px, 5px
•SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
•NEVER use h-screen, use h-dvh for full viewport height
•MUST respect safe-area-inset for fixed elements
•SHOULD use size-* for square elements instead of w-* + h-*

Detected Layout Patterns

•Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 938px
•Header: height: 76px

Components

•MUST use 0px height for input fields

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#515250	none	-	-

Inputs

•Height: 0px

Interactive States

Focus

•MUST use 2px outline with accent color (#5E6AD2)
•MUST use 2px outline-offset
•NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

•Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
•Buttons (secondary): use #FDDECF background
•List items: use #FDDECF background

Disabled

•MUST use opacity: 0.5
•MUST use cursor: not-allowed

Interaction

•MUST use an AlertDialog for destructive or irreversible actions
•SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
•MUST show errors next to where the action happens
•NEVER block paste in input or textarea elements
•MUST add an aria-label to 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-out on entrance animations
•NEVER exceed 200ms for interaction feedback
•SHOULD respect prefers-reduced-motion

Performance

•NEVER animate large blur() or backdrop-filter surfaces
•NEVER apply will-change outside an active animation
•NEVER use useEffect for anything that can be expressed as render logic
