Table detail strategy

Adaptable traits

Neutral palette temperatureAmount of border usageDegree of roundedness
Do not confuse minimal with empty.
Do not hide affordances to appear cleaner.
Do not introduce decorative gradients or glows without a strong reason.
Do not use too many accent shades.
Component Coverage
Compact inventory of explicit components, with details on demand.

All expected component families are represented in the YAML profile.

Generation Guardrails
Essential guidance for the skill generator, grouped by decision type.

Purpose

Create elegant, low-noise interfaces that remain precise and complete.

AI role

You are a product UI designer working with restraint, spacing, and hierarchy rather than spectacle.

Anti-drift highlights

Accent usage remains sparse
Whitespace is preserved
Affordances remain obvious

Packaging model

Non stai modificando la base skill, stai derivando una custom skill

La base skill resta il riferimento YAML del catalogo. Il builder sotto serve a produrre un pacchetto custom con metadati propri, override validati e archive esportabile.

Base skill
Record YAML sorgente, usato come sistema di riferimento immutabile.

Name: Minimal Clarity System

Slug: minimal-clarity-system

Maturity: Advanced

Coverage score: 88/100

Role: definisce token, layout, interaction rules e anti-drift checklist della base.

Custom skill
Pacchetto derivato che puoi rinominare, validare, importare/esportare e scaricare.

Input: delta JSON sopra la base skill.

Output: payload riutilizzabile oppure archive completo con `README.md`, `SKILL.md` e `openai.yaml`.

Guardrail: validazioni su campi obbligatori, slug, hex colors e contrast checks.

Custom Skill Builder

Three editing modes, one controlled derivation model

The base skill remains immutable. This builder lets you edit only the declared scope, persist named drafts, compare revisions, clone an existing custom skill, and export a packaged custom skill with its own metadata.

Base skill to custom skill
Builder mode and editable scope
The available form surface changes with the selected mode, but the data contract does not: `shared_fundamentals` stay locked, while `skill_metadata` and `design_system` remain the editable scope.

Review recommended

colors

Background and surface are too close (1.03:1). Surface hierarchy may collapse.

Draft persistence and revisions
Save the current state, reopen a previous draft, compare revisions, or clone an existing custom skill as a new starting point.
No saved drafts for this base skill yet. Save the current state to create a reusable revision history.
Skill identity
Base skill vs custom skill
Name the derived package, define its slug, and set the packaging metadata that will travel with the exported custom skill.

Flow design goal

L’utente sceglie una base YAML, modifica i campi del design system dalla UI, e genera una skill che eredita i fundamentals condivisi e applica gli override utente sulla base selezionata.

Section gap values, one per line.

Advanced system controls
These sections map to the richer customization plan: visual identity, interaction rules, UX patterns, and component-level rules.
Review
Final review
Review the semantic summary, export metadata, and raw override payload before generating the packaged skill.
