76## AI Build Instructions
77
78> **Read this section before writing any code.** The rules below
79> are non-negotiable. Every value used in the UI must come from this
80> file's frontmatter — never substitute, approximate, or invent new
81> colors, fonts, radii, or shadows. If a value is missing, ask the
82> user before adding one.
83
84### 1 · Your role
85
86You are building UI for a project that has adopted **Signal AI** as its
87design system. Treat `DESIGN.md` as the single source of truth.
88Your job is to translate the user's product requirements into
89components and pages that look like they were designed by the same
90person who authored this file.
91
92### 2 · Token compliance
93
94- Pull every color, font family, radius, shadow, and spacing value
95 from the frontmatter at the top of this file.
96- Use semantic roles (e.g. `primary`, `accent`, `muted`) — never
97 hard-code hex values that bypass the system.
98- When a token can be expressed as a CSS variable, declare it once
99 in your global stylesheet and reference it everywhere downstream.
100- The Google Fonts `<link>` is provided in the Typography section.
101 Add it to `<head>` before any component renders.
102
103### 3 · Component recipes
104
105Use these recipes verbatim when building the corresponding component.
106
107#### Buttons
108
109Four variants are defined. Pick one — never blend variants or invent a fifth.
110
111- **Primary** — rounded shape, bg `#0d0f12`, text `#f7f8fa`, border `1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4)`, padding `9px 18px`, weight `500`, shadow `rgba(255,255,255,0.10) 0 1px 0 inset, rgba(13,15,18,0.18) 0 1px 2px`.
112- **Secondary** — rounded shape, bg `#ffffff`, text `#0d0f12`, border `1px solid rgba(13,15,18,0.10)`, padding `9px 18px`, weight `500`, shadow `rgba(13,15,18,0.04) 0 1px 2px`.
113- **Outline** — rounded shape, text `#0d0f12`, border `1px solid rgba(13,15,18,0.16)`, padding `9px 18px`, weight `500`.
114- **Ghost** — rounded shape, text `#646973`, padding `9px 14px`, weight `500`.
115
116Reach for **primary** as the single dominant CTA per screen.
117**Secondary** for the supporting action. **Outline** for tertiary
118actions in toolbars. **Ghost** for inline links and table actions.
119
120#### Cards
121
122- Background: `#f7f8fa`
123- Border: `1px solid rgba(13,15,18,0.06)`
124- Shadow: `rgba(255,255,255,0.85) 0 1px 0 inset, rgba(13,15,18,0.04) 0 1px 2px, rgba(13,15,18,0.04) 0 0 0 1px`
125- Radius: `radius.lg` (`12px`)
126- Internal padding: `20px` for compact cards, `24–28px` for content cards.
127
128#### Tabs
129
130Variant: `pill`. Segmented control inside a tinted track. Active tab gets a filled pill in the accent color.
131
132#### Charts
133
134- Bar/line variant: `line`
135- No gridlines — let the bars/lines carry the data.
136- Highlight strategy: `single` — emphasize a single bar/point per chart.
137
138#### Typography pairings
139
140- **Display (`Geist`)** — h1, h2, hero headlines, brand wordmarks.
141- **Body (`Geist`)** — paragraphs, labels, button text, form inputs.
142- **Mono (`Geist Mono`)** — code, eyebrows, metadata, numerals in tables.
143
144### 4 · Hard constraints
145
146Never do any of the following without explicit instruction from the user:
147
148- Introduce a new color, font, radius, or shadow that isn't declared above.
149- Mix this system with another (e.g. don't paste in Material or Bootstrap defaults).
150- Use generic gradient defaults (purple→blue, peach→pink) — they break the system's voice.
151- Reach for emoji icons. Use a consistent icon library and size icons in line with body type.
152- Add motion that exceeds the system's restraint — keep transitions short (≤200ms) and subtle.
153
154### 5 · Before you finish — verify
155
156Run through this checklist for every screen you produce:
157
158- [ ] Every color used appears in the Colors table above.
159- [ ] Headlines use the display font; body copy uses the body font.
160- [ ] Buttons match one of the declared variants exactly (shape, padding, weight).
161- [ ] Border-radius values come from `radius.sm` / `radius.md` / `radius.lg` / `radius.pill`.
162- [ ] Cards and dividers use the declared border + shadow tokens.
163- [ ] No values were invented; if you needed something missing, you stopped and asked.
164

167## 1. Atmosphere
168
169Signal AI is a modern AI product surface that refuses the clichés of its category. No rainbow gradient, no purple-pink mesh, no shimmering "thinking" animation. The page is fine off-white `#f7f8fa` with cards lifted to pure white, each card carrying a 1px white inset highlight at its top edge — the catch-light that makes the surface read as physical, not flat. Geist handles every text role; Geist Mono carries prompts, model names, latency metrics, and token counts. The single accent is muted electric-indigo `#5567ff` that appears only when the assistant is responding — the avatar dot, the streaming caret, the active model pill in the dropdown. Idle, the system is greyscale.
170
171The discipline is in the absence: no glow, no animation chrome, no second color. The accent earns its meaning by being reserved for one specific state.
172
173**Signature moves**
174- Indigo `#5567ff` only on the assistant-response state — avatar dot, streaming caret, active model pill
175- 1px white inset highlight on every card and primary button — the physical catch-light
176- Geist Mono with 0.04em uppercase tracking for every model name, latency, and token count
177- Pill tabs only in the prompt composer (model selector); section tabs are pill too — consistency
178- Off-white `#f7f8fa` page → pure white card — the tonal step is the only depth
179
180## 2. Palette
181
182### Surfaces
183- **Page** `#f7f8fa` — primary background (cool fine off-white)
184- **Card** `#ffffff` — elevated surface
185- **Bone** `#eef0f3` — secondary surfaces, code blocks, table headers
186
187### Ink
188- **Ink** `#0d0f12` — text, headings, primary CTA fill
189- **Ink 60** `#646973` — secondary text, mono labels
190- **Hairline** `rgba(13,15,18,0.06)` — every card edge
191
192### Accent
193- **Indigo** `#5567ff` — assistant-response state (avatar dot, streaming caret, active model pill, focus ring)
194- **Indigo Soft** `rgba(85,103,255,0.10)` — hovered model pill, focus ring background
195
196## 3. Typography
197
198| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Leading | Tracking |
199|------|------|------|--------|---------|----------|
200| Hero | Geist | 56px | 600 | 1.04 | -0.035em |
201| H1 | Geist | 36px | 600 | 1.14 | -0.025em |
202| H2 | Geist | 24px | 600 | 1.3 | -0.018em |
203| Body | Geist | 15px | 400 | 1.6 | -0.005em |
204| UI / Button | Geist | 13px | 500 | 1.4 | 0 |
205| Prompt / Code | Geist Mono | 13px | 400 | 1.55 | 0 |
206| Metric Label | Geist Mono | 11px | 500 | 1.0 | 0.04em uppercase |
207| Latency / Tokens | Geist Mono | 12px | 500 | 1.0 | 0 tabular-nums |
208
209Geist Mono carries the technical voice — anything a model touches (prompt, response chunk, latency in ms, token count, model name) lives in mono.
210
211## 4. Buttons
212
213### Primary (Ink with Inset Highlight)
214```css
215background: #0d0f12;
216color: #f7f8fa;
217padding: 9px 18px;
218border-radius: 8px;
219border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
220box-shadow:
221 rgba(255,255,255,0.10) 0 1px 0 inset,
222 rgba(13,15,18,0.18) 0 1px 2px;
223```
224
225The inset white highlight is the entire signature — without it the button reads as flat black. The dark border at 40% black above the inset is what gives the catch-light something to bend over.
226
227### Secondary (Card White)
228- Pure white, 1px hairline at 10% ink, ink text — small 1px shadow
229
230### Outline & Ghost
231- Outline: transparent, 1px hairline at 16% ink
232- Ghost: no border, ink-60, hover lifts to ink
233
234## 5. Cards
235
236```css
237background: #ffffff;
238border: 1px solid rgba(13,15,18,0.06);
239border-radius: 12px;
240box-shadow:
241 rgba(255,255,255,0.85) 0 1px 0 inset,
242 rgba(13,15,18,0.04) 0 1px 2px,
243 rgba(13,15,18,0.04) 0 0 0 1px;
244```
245
246The 1px white inset highlight at the top is the catch-light — it sells the surface as physical glass rather than flat fill. The 1px outline shadow doubles the edge for crispness on retina.
247
248The active assistant card adds a 1px indigo top border — that is the only place indigo appears on a card edge.
249
250## 6. Charts
251
252Line charts at 1.75px ink with an 8% indigo fill, ending in an indigo dot marker. The line is the primary chart variant — bars are reserved for token-usage breakdowns. NO gridlines. Y-axis labels in Geist Mono uppercase 11px aligned to the right edge.
253
254## 7. Tabs
255
256Pill tabs in a tinted track. Active = white background with the same 1px inset highlight as cards, 1px indigo border, indigo text. Inactive = transparent, ink-60. The active pill carries its own catch-light — that's the consistency move.
257
258## 8. Spacing
259
260- Base 4px
261- Scale: `4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 48, 64, 80`
262- Section padding: 80px desktop, 40px mobile
263
264## 9. Do's & don'ts
265
266✅ **Do**
267- Reserve indigo for the assistant-response state — avatar dot, streaming caret, active model pill
268- Keep the 1px white inset highlight on every card and primary button — that's the physical catch-light
269- Put every prompt, latency, token count, and model name in Geist Mono
270- Hold the off-white page → pure white card tonal step
271
272❌ **Don't**
273- Use a rainbow / purple-pink gradient — the entire category does this; you do not
274- Add an animated "thinking" shimmer — the indigo caret IS the response state
275- Use Geist Mono for prose body — mono is reserved for technical strings
276- Add a second accent color — indigo alone, on the assistant-response state only
