The structural backbone.

What sets a pattern apart from a system: a defined grid, divider rhythm, and section composition. Everything below uses the same tokens that power the kitchen sink — applied to a real page skeleton.

Full-bleed.

43## AI Build Instructions
44 
45> **Read this section before writing any code.** The rules below
46> are non-negotiable. Every value used in the UI must come from this
47> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new
48> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the
49> user before adding one.
50 
51### 1 · Your role
52 
53You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Full-bleed Grid with Dividers** as its
54design system. Treat `PATTERN.md` as the single source of truth.
55Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into
56components and pages that look like they were designed by the same
57person who authored this file.
58 
59### 2 · Token compliance
60 
61- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value
62  from the frontmatter at the top of this file.
63- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never
64  hard-code hex values that bypass the system.
65- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once
66  in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.
67- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.
68  Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.
69 
70### 3 · Build recipes
71 
72#### Page skeleton (the layout contract)
73 
74- Container: `full-bleed`
75- Content max-width: `1200px` (typography respects this even when the page is full-bleed).
76- Vertical grid: **6 column hairlines** (capped at 6 on wide viewports), drawn with `1px solid rgba(15, 15, 15, 0.06)`.
77- Draw lines on the outer left and right edges of the page.
78- Section padding: `96px` top + bottom inside every section.
79- Section divider: `1px solid rgba(15, 15, 15, 0.08)` between sections.
80- Use the diagonal-stripe band fill **at most once per page** as a section opener.
81 
82#### Primary CTA
83 
84Exactly **one** primary CTA per page or section. The pattern's discipline depends on this.
85 
86- Background: `#0a0a0a` · Color: `#ffffff`
87- Padding: `11px 22px` · Weight: `500`
88- Shape: `sharp` (radius: `0px`)
89 
90#### Headlines
91 
92- Family: `Geist` · Size: `clamp(2.25rem, 4vw, 3.25rem)` · Leading: `1` · Weight: `600`
93- Tracking: `-0.04em`
94 
95#### Body copy
96 
97- Family: `Geist` · Size: `0.9375rem` · Leading: `1.55` · Color: `#737373`
98- Max line length: 60–66 characters. Never let prose stretch the full content width.
99 
100#### Eyebrows / metadata
101 
102- Family: `Geist Mono` · Size: `0.6875rem` · Letter-spacing: `0.16em`
103- Uppercased. Color: `#0a0a0a`.
104 
105### 4 · Hard constraints
106 
107Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:
108 
109- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.
110- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).
111- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.
112- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.
113- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.
114- Break the layout contract: the column count, divider rhythm, and content max-width are part of the pattern.
115 
116### 5 · Before you finish — verify
117 
118Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:
119 
120- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.
121- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.
122- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).
123- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.
124- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.
125- [ ] The page respects the pattern's grid (column count + content max-width).
126- [ ] Section dividers use the declared color, width, and style.
127- [ ] Exactly one primary CTA per section — never duplicate.
128- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.

132## Overview
133 
134The full-bleed grid is a structural device, not a decoration. Vertical hairlines
135run from the top of the viewport to the footer; horizontal hairlines mark the
136boundaries between sections. Together they create a steady rhythm and a
137"calibrated instrument" feel that suits SaaS, fintech, and developer tooling.
138 
139Content stays inside a centered max-width column for readability. The grid
140itself sits behind the content, painted into the page background, and is never
141allowed to crop or break the typography.
142 
143## When to use it
144 
145- Marketing homepages where the product is technical and trust matters.
146- Long landing pages with several distinct sections that benefit from clear
147  separation.
148- Pricing, docs, and feature pages where a measured, surveyed feel is on-brand.
149 
150## When to avoid it
151 
152- Heavily illustrated pages or pages with full-bleed imagery — the lines
153  compete with the visuals.
154- Mobile-first apps where viewport width is too narrow to make the columns
155  legible. Drop to 2 columns or hide them entirely below 768px.
156 
157## Do
158 
159- Keep the lines low-contrast (4–8% opacity over the page background).
160- Use the same column count globally so the grid feels like architecture, not
161  decoration.
162- Align important hero elements (logo, CTA) to a column line for a crafted feel.
163 
164## Don't
165 
166- Don't draw the grid above z-index 0 — it must read as background, not foreground.
167- Don't mix multiple column counts on the same page.
168- Don't use the diagonal stripe band more than once per page; it loses meaning
169  if repeated.
170 
171## Notes
172 
173- The pattern works with any color system. The hairline color should be derived
174  from the system's foreground at 6–10% alpha so it sits naturally over the
175  surface tone.
176- Pair with sans-serif or mono typography for the strongest "instrument" effect.
177
