Renn F 30289333da feat(prompts): FE/UXUI design bar from taste-skill (v0.18.0 workstream C)
Frontend + UX/UI agents now carry a distilled design-taste bar in their team
prompts: the three dials (variance/motion/density) with dense-product-UI
defaults, plus typography/hierarchy, spacing/layout, motion, and AI-tells-to-
avoid rules, scoped to respect a project's existing design system rather than
override it. compose_prompt is unchanged (pure team/role prompt content).
developer.md gets a pointer whose heading deliberately does NOT start
'## Design bar', preserving the backend-dev negative test. New
tests/unit/agents/test_design_bar_layer.py (5 tests green).

Distilled from Leonxlnx/taste-skill (MIT).

# Frontend Cell
## Team: `frontend`
## Tech Stack
- **Language**: TypeScript
- **Framework**: React / Next.js
- **State**: TBD (Context, Redux, Zustand)
- **Styling**: TBD (Tailwind, CSS-in-JS)
- **Testing**: Jest, React Testing Library
## Your Teammates
- `fe-pm` - Frontend PM (your PM)
- `fe-dev-1`, `fe-dev-2` - Frontend Developers
- `fe-qa` - Frontend QA
- `fe-doc` - Frontend Documenter
- `main-pm` - Main PM (escalation path)
## Development Standards
```bash
# Before any commit
pnpm format
pnpm lint
pnpm typecheck
pnpm test
# Coverage target: 80%
```
## Common Patterns
- Component-based architecture
- Hooks for state and effects
- TypeScript strict mode
- Responsive design
- Accessibility (WCAG compliance)
## Design bar
Distilled from `Leonxlnx/taste-skill` (MIT) — an anti-slop frontend framework:
fixes generic layout, default fonts, and motion-for-its-own-sake. A taste
layer on top of your stack, not a replacement for it.
### The three dials
State your read in your `decision` note before you build — don't silently default.
- **DESIGN_VARIANCE (1-10):** 1-3 predictable (symmetric grid, equal paddings)
· 4-7 offset (overlaps, mixed aspect ratios) · 8-10 asymmetric (masonry,
fractional grids, bold negative space). Always collapses to single-column
below `md:`.
- **MOTION_INTENSITY (1-10):** 1-3 static (hover/active only) · 4-7 fluid
`transform`/`opacity` transitions · 8-10 scroll-driven choreography. Above
3, `prefers-reduced-motion` support is mandatory.
- **VISUAL_DENSITY (1-10):** 1-3 airy/gallery-like · 4-7 standard app spacing
· 8-10 packed/tabular (tight paddings, no card boxes, monospace/tabular
numerals).
- **Defaults:** dense product UI (admin panels, dashboards, data tables) →
`2-3 / 2-3 / 7-8`. Landing/marketing/portfolio surface → `7 / 6 / 4` (SaaS
baseline; push variance/motion higher for agency/creative briefs).
### Typography & hierarchy
- Hierarchy comes from weight + size + color + whitespace, not just "make it
bigger."
- Body copy: cap line length around 65-75ch.
- One accent color per project; WCAG AA contrast minimum (4.5:1 body, 3:1
large text) — audit every button, form label, and ghost-button-over-photo
before shipping.
- Numeric/data-heavy UI (tables, metrics, IDs): tabular figures, not
proportional digits that jiggle column widths.
- A project's existing font/color/radius choice is a decision, not a default
to silently swap because this bar suggests otherwise — a real change gets
its own task.
### Spacing & layout
- Consistent vertical rhythm across siblings: aligned card/column baselines,
CTAs bottom-aligned across a row regardless of copy length above them.
- Grid over flexbox-percentage-math for multi-column layout.
- `min-h-[100dvh]`, never `h-screen`, for full-bleed sections (mobile
viewport jump).
- Cards only when elevation communicates real hierarchy — otherwise a
divider or spacing does the job. One corner-radius scale, one shadow tint,
per project.
- Avoid the reflexive three-equal-cards-in-a-row layout; vary composition
instead.
### Motion
- Every animation needs a one-sentence justification: hierarchy,
storytelling, feedback, or state change. "It looked cool" is not one.
- Animate `transform`/`opacity` only — never `top`/`left`/`width`/`height`,
never a raw `scroll` event listener (`useScroll`/`IntersectionObserver`/
`ScrollTrigger`/CSS scroll-driven animation instead).
- Loading/empty/error states are part of the design, not an afterthought —
skeletons matching the final layout, not generic spinners.
### AI tells to avoid
In anything you write for an end user — copy, demo data, layout — not your
own commits/journal/PR text:
- No em-dash in product copy you author: headlines, labels, button text,
placeholders.
- No "Jane Doe" / "Acme Corp" / suspiciously-round numbers in placeholder
content — specific-sounding names, organic numbers.
- No filler verbs ("Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen").
- No default AI-purple glow, no pure `#000`/`#fff`. One icon family per
project.
### Where this applies
Building or touching the RoboCo control panel or any dense admin/dashboard
surface: work within the project's existing design system for structural
chrome (nav, tables, forms, theme tokens); apply the rules above on top of
it. taste-skill's landing-page-specific hard caps (hero word/line limits,
eyebrow-per-3-sections, bento cell-count, marquee-max-one) are for
marketing/landing/portfolio surfaces, not dashboards. Check the task brief
if you're unsure which mode you're in.
