minimalist-ui

authentic

Use when creating clean editorial interfaces with warm monochrome palettes, crisp borders, restrained motion, and flat bento layouts.

When to use

• Use when the user wants a refined minimalist UI inspired by tools like Notion, Linear, or editorial workspace products.
• Use when designing warm monochrome interfaces with crisp borders, generous whitespace, muted pastel accents, and quiet motion.
• Use when the task should avoid gradients, heavy shadows, saturated colors, pill-heavy components, and generic SaaS visuals.

When not to use

• Minimalism can hide hierarchy when content is dense; validate scannability, contrast, and navigation clarity with real content.
• This skill assumes the product can support restrained palettes and typography-led layouts; do not override an established brand system without cause.
• Subtle motion and flat surfaces still need responsive, keyboard, and screen-reader verification in the target project.
