narrative: |
  hashicorp.com is built on a pure-white canvas (rgb(255,255,255)).
  The system uses rgb(239, 239, 239) as the singular interactive color.
  Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside Times New Roman as the primary typeface.
  Depth comes from borders and surface contrast rather than shadows — a flat, structural elevation model.
  Motion is minimal — a few targeted transitions, no decorative animation.

> Extracted automatically by Prism from https://hashicorp.com
> Date: 2026-06-11
> Viewport: Desktop 1440x900 + Mobile 390x844
> Values are extracted, not hand-written: rendered styles via getComputedStyle() + colors declared in CSS custom properties (token-only values are marked `(token)` and may not be painted).


## 0. Design DNA

**Density**: moderate  |  **Motion**: expressive  |  **Weight**: heavy  |  **Aesthetic**: editorial-minimal

| Dimension | Value | Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Canvas | neutral | `#ffffff` |
| Type posture | serif-led (Times New Roman) | "Do cloud right" |
| Color assertion | dual-accent | #efefef |
| Whitespace | moderate | section rhythm 48px |
| Interaction | expressive | 0 keyframes, 1 transitions |
| Radius language | 0px-architectural | from token scale |

**Prism fingerprint**: `neutral-canvas · serif-display · dual-accent · 0px-architectural · expressive-motion`

> **🤖 TL;DR for AI agents** (read this first — saves you scanning the full doc):
>
> - **Canvas**: `rgb(255,255,255)` is the page background. Every component composits against this.
> - **Accent**: `rgb(239, 239, 239)` for primary CTAs ONLY. Never decorative.
> - **Body type**: 16px (token: `typography.body`). Default for ALL text not in a heading role.
> - **Section rhythm**: 48px between major bands. Card padding: 24px.
> - **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

hashicorp.com uses a pure-white canvas (`#ffffff`), letting typography, color and imagery carry the visual weight. 

Typography is anchored in **Times New Roman**. Headlines use weight 700 for confident, assertive presence — the brand wants to be heard. 

Body text reads in Pure Black (`#000000`) (contrast ratio 21.0:1, well above WCAG AA). **Off-White** (`#efefef`) provides interactive distinction without visual aggression. Shadow is absent by design — depth is conveyed through borders, spacing, and color differentiation rather than light simulation. 


**Key Characteristics:**
- Background: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Primary typeface: Inter
- Accent: Off-White (`#efefef`)
- Custom fonts loaded: Inter, Inter var

## 2. Color Palette & Roles

### Background & Surface
- **Pure White** (`#ffffff`): Page background (primary)
- **Off-White** (`#efefef`): Surface / elevated background

### Text & Content
- **Pure Black** (`#000000`): Primary body text
- **#0000ee** (`#0000ee`): Secondary text
- **#123456** (`#123456`): Secondary text
- **Charcoal** (`#333333`): Secondary text

### Full Extracted Palette
**8 colors rendered on the page**. (6 categorized above + 2 additional below.)
Rendered values are read via `getComputedStyle()`; token values come from CSS variable declarations. Third-party logo colors are filtered out.

- `#808080` — Slate Grey
- `#767676` — Slate Grey

## 3. Typography Rules

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

### Custom Fonts Loaded
- **Inter** weight 100 (normal)
- **Inter var** weight 100 900 (normal)

### Typography Hierarchy

| Role | Font | Size | Weight | Line Height | Letter Spacing | Notes |
|------|------|------|--------|-------------|----------------|-------|
| Display Hero | Inter | 32px | 700 | normal | normal | Main headline (h1) |
| Sub-heading | Inter | 18.72px | 700 | normal | normal | Third-level heading (h3) |
| Card Title | Inter | 16px | 400 | normal | normal | Card headings |
| Button | Inter | 13.3333px | 400 | normal | normal | Button label (13.3333px) |

### Full Font Size Scale

Sizes detected in the design (descending): `32px`, `24px`, `18.72px`, `16px`, `13.33px`, `13px`

> 2 size(s) detected outside the sampled hierarchy (24px, 13px). These appear on elements not in the sampled set — likely additional display sizes, marketing-section overrides, or third-party-widget styles.

## 4. Component Stylings

### Inputs & Forms

**Text Input**
- Background: `#ffffff` `{colors.surface-2}`
- Text: `#000000`
- Padding: 1px 2px
- Radius: 0px
- Border: 2px inset rgb(118, 118, 118)
- Font: 13.3333px weight 400
- Use: Text fields, search inputs
- Focus: outline: `rgb(16, 16, 16) auto 1px`


## 4b. Component Behaviors (State Matrix)

### Interaction State Narrative


*State transitions extracted via Playwright simulation — exact values in the YAML matrix below.*

```yaml
component-behaviors:
  button:
    default:
      bg: "rgb(239, 239, 239)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
      border: "2px outset rgb(0, 0, 0)"
  input:
    default:
      bg: "rgb(255, 255, 255)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
      border: "2px inset rgb(118, 118, 118)"
    focus:
      bg: "transparent"
      fg: "inherit"
  link:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 238)"
  card:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
  navLink:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 238)"
  tab:
    default:
      bg: "rgb(239, 239, 239)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
      border: "2px outset rgb(0, 0, 0)"
  badge:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 0)"
  footerLink:
    default:
      bg: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)"
      fg: "rgb(0, 0, 238)"
```

**Agent usage**: Validate generated components against this matrix. If your output's `:hover` state changes properties not listed here, you are off-brand.


## 4c. Component Vocabulary (Closed System)

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

### Inputs & Forms
- **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Text Input`
- **DO NOT introduce new inputs & forms variants** without justification

## 5. Layout Principles

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

### Grid
Single column, centered content

### Max Width
1200px

### Spacing System
Compact spacing — information density prioritized

| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| xxs | 2px |
| xs | 2px |
| sm | 8px |
| md | 20px |
| base | 21px |
| lg | 24px |
| xl | 32px |
| 2xl | 48px |
| 3xl | 64px |

### Border Radius Scale
| Name | Value | Use |
|------|-------|-----|
| None | 0px | No rounding |
| Xs | 4px | Tiny corners (badges, micro elements) |
| Sm | 8px | Buttons, inputs, small elements |
| Md | 14px | Cards, containers |
| Lg | 20px | Large rounded elements, pill segments |
| Xl | 32px | Category strips, featured containers |
| Full | 9999px | Pills, avatars, circular elements |

### Shape Language

| Component | Border Radius |
|-----------|---------------|
| Inputs & Forms | `0px` |
| Page Body | `0px` |
| Navigation | `0px` |
| Primary Input | `0px` |

**Shape Personality**: Sharp & Angular — No rounding. Precise, editorial, enterprise feel.


## 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** | `64px` | Top/bottom of full-bleed hero sections |
| **section** | `32px` | Between major bands (color change, content shift) |
| **subsection** | `24px` | Within a section, between content groups |
| **card** | `20px` | Card padding, list-item spacing |
| **compact** | `8px` | Form fields, tight clusters, badge padding |
| **micro** | `2px` | 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.**

### Navigation Pattern

- **Position:** static (scrolls with page)
- **Layout:** unknown — Layout not classified
- **Height:** 2504px
- **Logo:** ✓ present
- **Nav links:** 53 primary items
- **CTAs in nav:** 0 (no buttons — links only)
- **Clone instruction:** Build a static unknown navigation. Link-only — no button styling needed.

### Card Grid Pattern

- **Card count:** 4 cards detected
- **Columns (desktop):** 1-up grid
- **Card dimensions:** 1384×957px (aspect 1.45:1)
- **Gap:** 16px between cards
- **Content:** ✓ image
- **Image position:** top
- **Clone instruction:** Build a 1-column grid (desktop) with cards at ~1.45:1 aspect ratio. Each card has an image at the top.

### Footer Pattern

- **Columns:** 1
- **Links:** 49 total
- **Height:** 1494px
- **Includes:** ✓ newsletter signup | ✓ social icons |  
- **Clone instruction:** Build a 1-column footer with ~49 links per column, newsletter signup, social media links.

## 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.

## 7. Motion & Interaction

### Keyframe Animation Catalog

| Animation Name | Type | Animated Props | Use Hint |
|----------------|------|----------------|----------|
| `spinner-circle-animate` | Custom |  | Loading indicator |
| `os-resize-observer-dummy-animation` | Custom |  | UI transition |

### Motion Fingerprint

- **Dominant Easing**: standard CSS easings
- **Animation Library**: 2 unique animations (0 total including variants)

## 8. Do's and Don'ts

### Do
- Use Off-White (`#efefef`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color
- Style form inputs with a `2px inset rgb(118, 118, 118)` border — use border-based inputs, not floating labels or underline-only
- Respect the 2px–32px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room
- Each card includes a top image — imagery is part of the card identity, not optional
- Include a newsletter signup in the footer — email capture is part of the conversion funnel

### Don't
- Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled
- Don't remove the input border — the border is the primary affordance indicator for form fields
- Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus
- Don't put a CTA button in the nav — this design uses links only at the top


## 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(255,255,255)` as the base canvas"
    why: "Every component is designed to composit against this exact tone"
    test: "document.body.style.backgroundColor === 'rgb(255,255,255)'"
  - id: brand-accent-001
    type: do
    rule: "Reserve `rgb(239, 239, 239)` for primary CTAs and brand-mark signals only"
    why: "Single chromatic assertion device — overuse dilutes meaning"
    test: "querySelectorAll('[style*=\"rgb(239, 239, 239)\"]').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 Large | 500px | Expanded mobile layout |
| Mobile Large | 590px | Expanded mobile layout |
| Mobile Large | 750px | Expanded mobile layout |
| Tablet | 904px | Multi-column grids begin |

### Token Diff — Desktop vs Mobile

| Element | Property | Desktop | Mobile |
|---------|----------|---------|--------|
| nav | height | `2504px` | `2774px` |
| card | width | `1384px` | `334px` |

### 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: 1px 6px 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):

*No major structural differences detected between desktop and mobile widgets. The same blueprints scale rather than collapse — verify by inspecting actual mobile render.*


## 7c. Visual Effects & Dynamic Behavior

*The live/dynamic layer beyond static CSS — reproduce these, not flat substitutes. This is often what separates a faithful clone from a wireframe.*

- **Scroll-driven reveals** — content animates in on scroll (CSS scroll-timeline). Build fade/translate reveal-on-scroll for below-fold bands.

> **Motion fingerprint**: CSS scroll-driven animations

## 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.

**Canonical Brand Image (OG):**
- https://www.datocms-assets.com/2885/1740664580-logo_ibm.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1200 (1200×675px)
  *This is the image shown when the site is shared on social media — represents the brand visual essence.*

**Hero Image (above-fold dominant visual):**
- Aspect: 4.1:1 (ultra-wide cinematic)
- Rendered size: 254×62px
- Alt text: "HashiCorp logo"
- *Use this aspect ratio + composition for your clone's hero — mimicking the proportion preserves the visual hierarchy.*

**Aspect Ratio Distribution:**
- Landscape (1.15–2.3): 9 (60%)
- Portrait (<0.87): 0 (0%)
- Square (0.87–1.15): 4 (27%)
- Ultra-wide (>2.3): 2 (13%)

**Media Format Mix:**
- SVG: 9 (icons, illustrations, decorative geometry)

**Average rendered image size:** 899×565px
**Above-fold image count:** 1 / 15

**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: Pure White (`#ffffff`)
- Primary text: Pure Black (`#000000`)
- Accent: Off-White (`#efefef`)
- Border: Slate Grey (`#808080`)
- Font: Inter
- Body: 16px weight 400

### Example Component Prompts
- "Create a hero section on Pure White background (#ffffff). Headline at 32px Inter weight 700, line-height normal, color #000000."
- "Create the primary CTA button: `#efefef` background, `#000000` text, 9999px border-radius, 1px 6px padding, 700 weight, Inter font."
- "Design a card on `transparent` background. Border: none. Radius: 0px. Shadow: none. Padding: 0px."
- "Build navigation: static on `#ffffff`. Inter 16px weight 400 for links."

### Iteration Guide
1. **Canvas**: Set the light canvas to Pure White (`#ffffff`) — every component is composited against this exact base.
2. **Typography**: All type in Inter, weight range 400–700. Never exceed 700 — heavier weights break the brand's tonal restraint.
3. **Accent**: Off-White (`#efefef`) is the sole interactive color. On hover → #123456 (`#123456`). Use CSS transitions, not opacity/brightness filters.
4. **Shape**: CTAs at `0px`, cards at `0px`. Apply border-radius from the extracted scale only — don't invent intermediate values.
5. **Spacing**: Use the `--ca-space-*` token scale (2px–32px). 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.*

```

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


## 14. Copy Library (Real Content from Source)

*Actual text content extracted from the live page. Use these strings verbatim when reproducing the site — they carry the brand voice.*

```yaml
copy:
  section-headings:
    - "A smarter approach to infrastructure operations"
  sub-headings:
    - "Accelerate delivery and innovation"
  ctas:
    - "Back"
    - "Contact us"
    - "Solutions"
    - "English"
  navigation:
    - "Log in"
    - "Contact us"
    - "Get started"
    - "HashiCorp Cloud Platform"
    - "Sign up now"
    - "ConsulService-based networking"
    - "Documentation"
    - "Certifications"
    - "Integrations"
    - "Webinars"
  footer-links:
    - "Privacy Policy"
```

**Agent rule**: reuse these exact strings when generating UI. Do NOT translate or rephrase — brand voice is preserved through the original wording.


## 15. Asset Inventory (Image Roles & Ratios)

*Image inventory classified by role and aspect ratio. When reproducing the site, allocate this number of assets per role.*

```yaml
assets:
  logo:
    count: 14
    avg-ratio: 3.82
    common-aspect: "~16:6 banner"
    sample-alts:
      - "Walgreens logo"
      - "Indeed Logo"
      - "GSK logo"
  product:
    count: 3
    avg-ratio: 1.15
    common-aspect: "~1:1 square"
  thumbnail:
    count: 18
    avg-ratio: 0.99
    common-aspect: "~1:1 square"
    sample-alts:
      - "cloud icon"
      - "zap icon"
      - "layers icon"
  icon:
    count: 1
    avg-ratio: 1.26
    common-aspect: "~1:1 square"
```

**Agent rule**: when generating placeholder images, match these counts and aspect ratios. Use neutral placeholder backgrounds for `product` (e.g. `#f5f5f5`), full-color photography hints for `hero` and `editorial`.


## 16. Component HTML Templates

*Suggested HTML markup for reproducing the key components — based on what was detected in the source DOM.*

### Button (primary action)
```html
<button class="btn btn-primary">
  Back
</button>
```
_Source pattern detected: padding `1px 6px` · radius `0px` · weight `400`_

### Generic Card
```html
<div class="card">
  <!-- content -->
</div>
```
_Source pattern detected: padding `0px` · radius `0px` · shadow `none`_

**Agent rule**: use these markup skeletons as the structural baseline. Apply tokens from §2-3 for visual styling.


## 17. Content Architecture & Resources (Links by Purpose)

*The page's links classified by purpose — the information architecture to reproduce. Categories, featured images, devices and projects are extracted from the rendered DOM, not guessed.*

**By purpose:** **nav** 24 · **cta** 2 · **auth** 2 · **product** 18 · **pricing** 1 · **blog** 2 · **project** 1 · **footer** 3 · **other** 7

**Primary actions (conversion path):**
- Account access — "Log in" (login/signup) → `https://portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/sign-in`
- Primary call-to-action — "Get started" (the conversion path) → `https://portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/sign-up`
- Primary call-to-action — "Sign up now" (the conversion path) → `https://portal.cloud.hashicorp.com/sign-up?ajs_aid=3e3b5796-ecd1-48e1-afed-7ee0ddb0f256`
- Account access — "Partner portal login" (login/signup) → `https://www.ibm.com/partnerplus?mhsrc=ibmsearch_a&mhq=partner`

## Extraction Completeness: 36/100 (D)

| Category | Score | Max | Detail |
|----------|-------|-----|--------|
| Colors & Palette | 8 | 25 | 6 named colors |
| Typography | 10 | 20 | 4 roles defined |
| Components | 4 | 20 | 1 specs extracted |
| Motion & Interaction | 10 | 15 | Keyframes (intercepted CSS) |
| CSS Custom Properties | 0 | 10 | 2 vars |
| Responsive Breakpoints | 4 | 5 | 4 breakpoints |
| Variable Fonts | 0 | 5 | None detected |

## 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:*

- **Licensed web fonts (Inter, Inter var)** — detected but not downloaded. Substitute with your licensed copy or a close fallback (see Typography section for metrics).
- **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 |
|----------|----------------|-------------------|
| **Keyframe animations** | No @keyframes declarations found (transitions only) | Use CSS transitions for state changes; avoid complex scroll-based animations |
| **Dark mode** | No dark-mode CSS variables or media queries detected | Light mode is canonical; do not generate dark-mode variants unless explicitly requested |
| **Design tokens** | Only 2 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 extracted via getComputedStyle() |
| §2 Colors | Low | 2 CSS vars (semantic naming requires ≥20 for high) |
| §3 Typography | Medium | 4 typography roles inferred |
| §4 Components | Low | 1 component variants captured |
| §7 Motion | Medium | Transitions only |
| §8 Do's/Don'ts | High | 9 rules generated; design-decisions.json has evidence per rule |
| §9 Responsive | High | 4 breakpoints detected |
| §9b Photography | High | 15 images, hero present |

## 11.2 Measured Reality (CDP Engine)

Captured directly from Chrome's engine across **all 1836 rendered nodes** — not a sample. These are the values the page *actually paints*, weighted by how often they appear.

### Real Responsive Breakpoints
**4 breakpoints** read from the live `@media` rules (not guessed):
`500px` · `590px` · `750px` · `904px`

### Measured Design Scale
**Type scale by usage** (× = paint count): `16px`×1705 · `13.3333px`×64 · `24px`×26 · `13px`×11 · `11px`×8 · `12px`×3 · `32px`×2 · `18.72px`×2

**Radius scale** (× = paint count): `4px`×9 · `8px`×4 · `10px`×4 · `100%`×1 · `50%`×1

**Weights** (× = paint count): `400`×1801 · `700`×30 · `600`×2

**Layout gaps** (× = paint count): `4px`×1

**Elevation (real shadows)**:
```css
rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15) 0px 5px 20px 0px
```
