narrative: |
  figma-5eW0gnE4ySQ34q6gHJa4Gw is built on a soft, near-white canvas (rgb(249, 249, 250)).
  The system uses rgb(76, 152, 253) as the high-saturation accent for primary actions.
  Moderately rounded CTAs (8px) — modern SaaS standard, neither sharp nor pill alongside Inter as the primary typeface.
  Depth comes from borders and surface contrast rather than shadows — a flat, structural elevation model.

## 0. Design DNA

**Density**: sparse  |  **Motion**: still  |  **Weight**: light  |  **Aesthetic**: product-neutral

| Dimension | Value | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Canvas | neutral | `#f9f9fa` |
| Type posture | sans-led (Inter) | "SnowUI is a design system and " |
| Color assertion | dual-accent | #4c98fd |
| Whitespace | sparse | section rhythm 176px |
| Interaction | still | 0 keyframes, 0 transitions |
| Radius language | 8px-rounded | from token scale |

**Prism fingerprint**: `neutral-canvas · sans-display · dual-accent · 8px-rounded · still-motion`

> **🤖 TL;DR for AI agents** (read this first — saves you scanning the full doc):
>
> - **Canvas**: `rgb(249, 249, 250)` is the page background. Every component composits against this.
> - **Accent**: `rgb(76, 152, 253)` for primary CTAs ONLY. Never decorative.
> - **Body type**: 16px (token: `typography.body`). Default for ALL text not in a heading role.
> - **Section rhythm**: 176px between major bands. Card padding: 160px.
> - **Default radius**: 8px on buttons/inputs. Pills (`9999px`) only for icon-buttons or status chips.
> - **Forbidden**: Do NOT introduce heavy box-shadows — this system relies on borders for separation
>
> **Before generating UI**: import this DESIGN.md, scan §2 (Color Palette) + §4 (Components) + §10 (Agent Guide). Skip §11–12 unless extending.

## 1. Visual Theme & Atmosphere

figma-5eW0gnE4ySQ34q6gHJa4Gw sits on a off-white canvas (`#f9f9fa`), a neutral foundation calibrated for sustained reading and component contrast. 

Typography is anchored in **Inter**. 

Body text reads in Pure Black (`#000000`) (contrast ratio 20.5:1, well above WCAG AA). **Cornflower Blue** (`#4c98fd`) is the single high-saturation color in the system — it earns its presence only on interactive elements, making CTAs and links the unmistakable focal points against the otherwise neutral palette. Shadow is absent by design — depth is conveyed through translucent borders and luminance steps rather than light simulation. 


**Key Characteristics:**
- Background: Off-White (`#f9f9fa`)
- Primary typeface: Inter
- Accent: Cornflower Blue (`#4c98fd`)
- Display: 48px weight 500
- Border: Translucent Pure White (40%) (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4)`) — border-based containment
- Custom fonts loaded: Inter

## 2. Color Palette & Roles

## 3. Typography Rules

### Font Families
- **Primary**: `Inter`

### Custom Fonts Loaded
- **Inter** weight undefined (undefined)

### Typography Hierarchy

| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Inter | 48px | 500 | 1.21 | normal | Main headline (heading) |
| Sub-heading | Inter | 24px | 400 | 1.33 | normal | Section titles (subheading) |
| Button Large | Inter | 16px | 400 | 1.5 | normal | Button label (16px) |

### Full Font Size Scale

Sizes detected in the design (descending): `48px`, `24px`, `18px`, `16px`, `12px`

> 2 size(s) detected outside the sampled hierarchy (18px, 12px). These appear on elements not in the sampled set — likely additional display sizes, marketing-section overrides, or third-party-widget styles.

## 4. Component Stylings

### Buttons

**Ghost**
- Background: `transparent`
- Text: `#ffffff` `{colors.hairline}`
- Padding: 0px
- Radius: 8px
- Font: 16px weight 400
- Use: Subtle action, toolbar, nav button

### Cards & Containers

**Standard Card**
- Background: `#f9f9fa` `{colors.surface-2}`
- Padding: 160px 160px 160px 160px
- Radius: 80px
- Use: Content containers, listing items


## 4c. Component Vocabulary (Closed System)

*This brand uses ONLY the following component vocabulary. Introducing new variants without justification breaks the system's tonal coherence.*

### Buttons
- **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Ghost`
- **DO NOT introduce new buttons variants** without justification

### Cards & Containers
- **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Standard Card`
- **DO NOT introduce new cards & containers variants** without justification

## 5. Layout Principles

### Layout Type
**top-nav + content**

### Grid
Single column, centered content

### Max Width
1200px

### Spacing System
Generous spacing — editorial breathing room

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| xxs | 2px |
| xs | 6px |
| sm | 16px |
| md | 40px |
| base | 80px |
| lg | 160px |
| xl | 168px |
| 2xl | 176px |
| 3xl | 184px |

### Border Radius Scale
| Name | Value | Use |
|------|-------|-----|
| None | 0px | No rounding |
| Xs | 1px | Tiny corners (badges, micro elements) |
| Sm | 8px | Buttons, inputs, small elements |
| Md | 12px | Cards, containers |
| Lg | 20px | Large rounded elements, pill segments |
| Xl | 24px | Category strips, featured containers |
| Full | 9999px | Pills, avatars, circular elements |

### Shape Language

| Component | Border Radius |
|-----------|---------------|
| Buttons | `8px` |
| Cards & Containers | `80px` |
| Page Body | `80px` |
| Navigation | `0px` |

**Shape Personality**: Sharp + Pill Contrast — Angular precision with pill-shaped accents (status badges, tags). Creates strong visual hierarchy.

**Full Radius Spectrum**: 0px, 1px, 8px, 12px, 20px, 24px, 48px, 80px (from `allBorderRadii` scan)


## 5b. Spacing Rhythm Names

*Named spacing tokens with explicit use cases. Use these names in YOUR code instead of raw pixels for consistency.*

| Name | Value | Use case |
|------|-------|----------|
| **hero** | `184px` | Top/bottom of full-bleed hero sections |
| **section** | `168px` | Between major bands (color change, content shift) |
| **subsection** | `160px` | Within a section, between content groups |
| **card** | `40px` | Card padding, list-item spacing |
| **compact** | `16px` | Form fields, tight clusters, badge padding |
| **micro** | `6px` | Icon-text gap, tag inner padding |

**Agent rule**: NEVER hardcode raw pixel values for spacing in generated UI. Always reference these named tokens (`spacing-rhythm.section`, etc.).

## 5c. Widget & Structure Library

Structural patterns extracted from the page DOM — these are the **blueprints** an agent should follow to reproduce the page architecture (not just CSS values).

**3/8 structural patterns detected.**

### Hero Pattern

- **Composition:** centered — Centered composition — heading + subheading + CTAs stacked vertically, content centered horizontally. Common for SaaS marketing pages.
- **Viewport coverage:** 868px tall (not full-viewport)
- **Heading:** "SnowUI is a design system and UI kit created with Figma." — 48px center-aligned
- **Subheading:** "All of the products here use the SnowUI library as the main component library."
- **Media:** present, positioned right
- **CTAs:** 1 (primary: "Preview in Figma")
- **Clone instruction:** Reproduce the **centered** layout. Use the heading font-size token at the documented size. Place media right of text.

### Navigation Pattern

- **Position:** sticky (stays visible during scroll)
- **Layout:** logo-left — 
- **Height:** 28px
- **Logo:** ✗ absent
- **Nav links:** 0 primary items
- **CTAs in nav:** 0 (no buttons — links only)
- **Clone instruction:** Build a sticky logo left navigation. Link-only — no button styling needed.

## 6. Depth & Elevation

| Level | Treatment | Use |
|-------|-----------|-----|
| Flat (Level 0) | No shadow | Page background, content blocks |

**Shadow Philosophy**: Flat design — no shadows used. Borders and spacing define structure.

## 8. Do's and Don'ts

### Do
- Use Off-White (`#f9f9fa`) as the page background — it's intentionally not pure white
- Use Inter as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality
- Keep font weights between 400-500 — the system uses a narrow weight range for subtle hierarchy
- Use borders for card containment — this design uses border-based depth, not shadow-based
- Use Cornflower Blue (`#4c98fd`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
- Apply 160px 160px 160px 160px padding inside cards — matches the design system's content breathing room
- Use 80px border-radius on cards — consistent with the grid card corners
- Respect the 6px–168px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room
- Use a single primary CTA in the hero — the design intentionally avoids choice paralysis
- Make the navigation sticky — it stays visible during scroll, signaling content depth

### Don't
- Don't use pure white (`#ffffff`) as a page background — the warm tone is part of the brand identity
- Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand
- Don't use weight 700 (bold) or above — 500 is the maximum weight in this system
- Don't use heavy box-shadows for cards — borders are the containment mechanism
- Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled


## 7b. Enforceable Brand Rules

*Structured Do/Don't with reasoning and validation tests. Agents can programmatically verify generated UI.*

```yaml
rules:
  - id: brand-canvas-001
    type: do
    rule: "Always use the page background `rgb(249, 249, 250)` as the base canvas"
    why: "Every component is designed to composit against this exact tone"
    test: "document.body.style.backgroundColor === 'rgb(249, 249, 250)'"
  - id: brand-accent-001
    type: do
    rule: "Reserve `rgb(76, 152, 253)` for primary CTAs and brand-mark signals only"
    why: "Single chromatic assertion device — overuse dilutes meaning"
    test: "querySelectorAll('[style*=\"rgb(76, 152, 253)\"]').length <= 3 per fold"
  - id: brand-depth-001
    type: dont
    rule: "Do NOT introduce drop shadows on cards or sections"
    why: "Containment is achieved via borders, not elevation — adding shadows breaks the depth contract"
    test: "getComputedStyle(card).boxShadow === 'none'"
```

## 9. Responsive Behavior

### Breakpoints
| Name | Width | Key Changes |
|------|-------|-------------|
| Mobile | 640px | Single column layout |
| Tablet | 768px | 2-column grids |
| Desktop | 1024px | Full layout |
| Large Desktop | 1280px | Maximum width |

### Token Diff — Desktop vs Mobile

| Element | Property | Desktop | Mobile |
|---------|----------|---------|--------|
| body | padding | `160px 160px 160px 160px` | `0px` |

### Collapsing Strategy
- Navigation: horizontal links → hamburger menu on mobile
- Cards: multi-column → stacked vertical on mobile
- Footer: multi-column → stacked single column on mobile

### Touch Targets
- Buttons: 0px padding
- Navigation: adequate spacing between items
- Interactive elements: minimum 44px touch target recommended

### Collapsing Narrative

How the structural patterns adapt from desktop to mobile (extracted from both viewport extractions):

- **Hero CTAs:** 1 on desktop → 0 on mobile (secondary CTAs dropped on small screens).

## 9b. Visual Tone & Photography

**Tone:** Illustration-driven

The site relies primarily on illustrations, vector art, and decorative SVG elements rather than photography. Use commissioned illustrations, icon sets, or generated graphics for clones — stock photos will feel off-brand.

**Media Format Mix:**
- WebP: 3 (optimized photo/illustration hybrid)
- SVG: 39 (icons, illustrations, decorative geometry)

**Imagery Guidance for clones:**
- Use vector illustration as the primary visual language — photos will read as off-brand.
- Maintain consistent illustration style (line weight, color palette) across the site.

## 10. Agent Prompt Guide

### Quick Reference
- Background: Off-White (`#f9f9fa`)
- Primary text: Pure Black (`#000000`)
- Accent: Cornflower Blue (`#4c98fd`)
- Border: Translucent Pure White (40%) (`rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4)`)
- Font: Inter
- Body: 16px weight 400

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Off-White background (#f9f9fa). Headline at 48px Inter weight 500, line-height 1.21, color #000000."
- "Create the primary CTA button: `#4c98fd` background, `#ffffff` text, 8px border-radius, 12px 24px padding, 500 weight, Inter font."
- "Design a card on `#f9f9fa` background. Border: none. Radius: 80px. Shadow: none. Padding: 160px 160px 160px 160px."
- "Build navigation: relative on `#f9f9fa`. Inter 16px weight 400 for links."

### Iteration Guide
1. **Canvas**: Set the light canvas to Off-White (`#f9f9fa`) — every component is composited against this exact base.
2. **Typography**: All type in Inter, weight range 400–500. Never exceed 500 — heavier weights break the brand's tonal restraint.
3. **Accent**: Cornflower Blue (`#4c98fd`) is the sole interactive color. On hover → Lavender (`#adadfb`). Use CSS transitions, not opacity/brightness filters.
4. **Shape**: cards at `80px`. Apply border-radius from the extracted scale only — don't invent intermediate values.
5. **Spacing**: Use the `--ca-space-*` token scale (6px–168px). All padding, margin, and gap values are multiples from this scale — no magic numbers.
6. **Tokens**: Import from §11 CSS Export (`--ca-*` vars). Never hardcode hex values — always reference a token so theming remains consistent.

## 11. CSS Design Tokens Raw Export

*Copy-paste ready `:root {}` block — all values extracted directly from the live site.*

```css
/* Colors */
:root {
  --ca-surface-2: #f9f9fa;
  --ca-hairline: #ffffff;
  --ca-primary: #4c98fd;
  --ca-on-primary: #111111;
  --ca-primary-hover: #adadfb;
}

/* Typography */
:root {
  --ca-font-primary: "Inter", system-ui, sans-serif;
  --ca-text-display: 48px;
  --ca-text-body: 16px;
  --ca-text-button: 16px;
}

/* Spacing & Radius */
:root {
  --ca-space-xxs: 2px;
  --ca-space-xs: 6px;
  --ca-space-sm: 16px;
  --ca-space-md: 40px;
  --ca-space-base: 80px;
  --ca-space-lg: 160px;
  --ca-space-xl: 168px;
  --ca-space-2xl: 176px;
  --ca-space-3xl: 184px;
  --ca-radius-none: 0px;
  --ca-radius-xs: 1px;
  --ca-radius-sm: 8px;
  --ca-radius-md: 12px;
  --ca-radius-lg: 20px;
  --ca-radius-xl: 24px;
  --ca-radius-full: 9999px;
}
```


## 13. Page Structure Skeleton

*The actual layout the source site uses. Reproduce these sections in order to match the site structure.*

```yaml
page-skeleton:
  - section: section
    tag: div
    classes: ["Text"]
    height: 234px
    width: 2180px
    layout: flex-column justify=center
    children: 3
    padding: "40px 0px 40px 0px"
  - section: hero
    tag: div
    classes: ["Frame"]
    height: 868px
    width: 2180px
    layout: flex-row justify=normal
    children: 3
```

**Agent rule**: rebuild sections in this order (sorted by vertical position). Match the layout primitive (grid N-col / flex direction / block).

## 12. Known Gaps & Confidence

Explicit list of what this extraction could NOT capture. Agents should not invent values for these — either skip the feature or use the documented baseline + heuristic fallback.

*Auto-detected extraction limitations — understand before building:*

- **Sparse component extraction** — fewer than 5 component types detected. Highly dynamic sections (modals, datepickers, carousels) require interaction to render and are not captured in a static pass.

| Category | What's missing | Fallback strategy |
|----------|----------------|-------------------|
| **Hero imagery** | No dominant hero image detected above the fold | Use the canonical brand visual from §9b (OG image) for hero composition |
| **Motion / Animation** | No @keyframes or transitions detected | Either keep clones strictly static, or apply a single 150ms ease-out on hover/focus universally |
| **Component states** | Hover / focus / active states not captured | Darken background ~10% on hover, add 2px focus ring matching accent token, +50% opacity for disabled |
| **Dark mode** | No dark-mode CSS variables or media queries detected | Light mode is canonical; do not generate dark-mode variants unless explicitly requested |
| **Form inputs** | No text input fields detected on this page | Use the documented border-radius + accent border on focus; 12-16px padding inside |
| **Design tokens** | Only 0 CSS custom properties (low signal for semantic naming) | Color names are nearest-neighbor approximations; verify against brand guidelines if available |

### Per-section confidence

| Section | Confidence | Reason |
|---------|------------|--------|
| §1 Visual Theme | High | Body bg read from Figma frame fill |
| §2 Colors | Low | 0 CSS vars (semantic naming requires ≥20 for high) |
| §3 Typography | Medium | 3 typography roles inferred |
| §4 Components | Low | 2 component variants captured |
| §7 Motion | Low | No motion data |
| §8 Do's/Don'ts | High | 15 rules generated; design-decisions.json has evidence per rule |
| §9 Responsive | High | 4 breakpoints detected |
| §9b Photography | Medium | 42 images, hero not detected |
