Palette

Crisp, confident, contemporary, editorial, energetic. It looks like a studio site with punchy imagery and restrained UI.

• background#ffffff
• text#0a0a0a
• accent (acid yellow)#eeff00
• secondary surface#f7f7f7
• border#e0e0e0
• muted text#5c5c5c
• input border#5c5c5c

Every checked pair, measured again

As vibld’s tokens

The palette on the fifteen colour tokens vibld styles a project with, each text colour on the fill it is read on. Marked tokens are solved from the palette, because no swatch held that role at 4.5:1.

Build prompt

The baseline every prompt in the catalog assumes, then this design’s own ten sections, from goal to guardrails.

Copy the baseline and build prompt

### How to use these prompts
Paste a template's build prompt into your coding agent as the first message. Each prompt names its own stack, tokens and acceptance criteria; the rules below apply to all of them and can be prepended once per project.

### Engineering baseline
- TypeScript strict mode, no `any`, small typed components, feature folders, and one source of truth for design tokens (CSS variables consumed by Tailwind).
- Validate every input with a shared zod schema on the client and again on the server or edge function. Never trust client-side checks alone.
- Show loading, empty and error states for every async view. Surface errors in plain language with a retry, and log details to the console in development only.
- Keep secrets out of the bundle. Only publishable keys (for example a Supabase anon key) belong in client code; service-role keys, API keys and webhooks live in server or edge-function environment variables.

### Data and auth baseline (full-stack templates)
- Enable Row Level Security on every table before inserting data. Default-deny, then add owner-scoped policies (`auth.uid() = user_id`) and explicit role checks for admin views.
- Store roles in a separate table checked by a security-definer function, never in a user-editable profile field.
- Upload files to private storage buckets with size and MIME limits, and serve them through signed URLs.
- Rate-limit public endpoints (forms, auth, AI calls) and add a honeypot field or captcha to anonymous forms.
- Take payments through a hosted checkout and verify webhooks by signature. Never handle raw card data.

### Accessibility and UX baseline
- Target WCAG 2.2 AA: 4.5:1 contrast for normal text and 3:1 for large text, input borders, focus rings and meaningful icons or chart lines. Every palette in this catalog lists its verified pairs; re-check with a contrast tool after any colour change.
- Keep body text at 16px or larger with 1.5 line height, nothing below 12px, no light weights under 24px, and uppercase only for short labels.
- Give every interactive element a visible focus ring, full keyboard support, semantic landmarks, labelled form fields, and alt text on meaningful images.
- Respect `prefers-reduced-motion` for every animation. Give drag-and-drop and carousels keyboard and button alternatives.
- Build mobile-first and test at 375px, 768px and 1280px.

### Content guardrails
- Use original copy, fictional sample data and placeholder or licensed imagery. Do not reuse another product's name, logo, screenshots or marketing text.
- Label demo testimonials and metrics as samples. Collect the minimum personal data the feature needs.

### Goal
Build a crisp studio-style portfolio for a fictional independent designer, "Bram Oduya". It is aimed at marketing leads and founders choosing a designer for brand, editorial and illustration work. The home page opens with a rotating, full-bleed showcase of featured projects, states a one-line mission, lists selected work in an alternating grid and ends with contact details. Each project has a case study page that links onward to the next.

### Stack
React 18 + TypeScript + Vite, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui (Radix Sheet, Form, Toast) and lucide-react. Use Embla Carousel with autoplay and fade for the hero, Framer Motion for in-view reveals, React Router for `/`, `/work/:slug`, `/about` and `/contact`, and react-hook-form + zod. One serverless function relays the contact form.

### Pages & layout
1. Header, 60px, white: wordmark on the left and three links on the right. The active link is gray.
2. Hero carousel at 90vh: an image with a 60% black overlay (effective #666666 or darker behind text, even on a white slide). At bottom-left, the small project name and a 60px description over up to three lines. The counter "01/06" sits at bottom-right.
3. Statement: a two-line mission at 48px, centered in a 900px column.
4. Selected Work: rows alternate between one full-width card and a pair of half cards. Each card has a 16:9 image, bold title, one-line summary and outlined tag pills.
5. Footer: three columns (Contact, Social, Work) and an oversized wordmark along the bottom edge.
6. Case study: title, tags, hero image, body sections, gallery and a "Next project →" banner.

### Design system
- `--background: #ffffff`, `--foreground: #0a0a0a`, `--accent: #eeff00` (highlight fills only, never text on white), `--secondary: #f7f7f7`, `--border: #e0e0e0`, `--muted-foreground: #5c5c5c`, `--input-border: #5c5c5c` (the #e0e0e0 border is for decorative dividers and tag outlines only).
- Fonts: Clash Grotesk from Fontshare, or Bricolage Grotesque from Google Fonts, at 500 for display; General Sans or Lexend Deca at 400/500 for body. Use a clamp scale: 14 / 16 / 20 / 32 / clamp(40px, 5vw, 64px) / clamp(64px, 12vw, 180px) for the footer wordmark.
- Spacing: 8px base, 64px gutters, 120px sections. Tags are 9999px pills; images have 0 radius.
- Motion: 6s autoplay, 800ms crossfade and 500ms fade-up with a 80ms stagger.

### Components & interactions
- HeroCarousel: dots or counter plus prev/next buttons. It pauses on hover, focus and hidden tab, and stays static under reduced motion.
- ProjectCard: hover or focus zooms the image to 1.03 and underlines the title. Show a skeleton while loading. Tags are non-interactive chips.
- Accent use: the acid yellow appears as a text-selection color and a hover highlight behind the title.
- ContactForm: states for invalid, submitting, success toast and error toast.
- Header: a Sheet menu on mobile.

### Data & state
`Project{slug, title, summary, tags, cover, featured, body, gallery}` plus a `SiteConfig` for SEO defaults. Featured projects feed the carousel. Seed six fictional projects covering illustration, editorial, abstract, 3D, portrait and animal studies.

### Accessibility
- Overlay text is white on the 60% black overlay, which stays at 5.74:1 or better even on the brightest slide.
- The carousel is a labelled region with a visible pause (WCAG 2.2.2) and announces "Slide 2 of 6".
- Yellow #eeff00 is used only as a background behind dark text (17.86:1).
- Focus rings are 2px black with a 2px offset. Tags are text.
- Verified contrast: body #0a0a0a on #ffffff = 19.8:1; muted #5c5c5c on #ffffff = 6.69:1; hero overlay #ffffff on #666666 = 5.74:1; text on yellow #0a0a0a on #eeff00 = 17.86:1.

### Security
- zod on the client and in the function, with a honeypot and rate limit.
- No secrets client-side. Social links use `rel="noopener noreferrer"`.

### Performance & SEO
Load the first slide eagerly and lazy-load the rest. Use `srcset`. Keep per-route meta in a typed config with OG images from covers. Use one H1 per page (the hero needs a visually hidden H1).

### Guardrails
- Do write all copy yourself and use placeholder imagery (Unsplash-style stock or generated); no trademarked names, client logos or real people.
- Don't present invented testimonials or awards as real; label sample content as sample.
- Keep components small and fully typed; no `any`. Surface errors visibly instead of failing silently.
- Don't collect or store more personal data than the contact form needs.
- Done when:
  - [ ] Hero rotates every 6s, pauses on interaction, and has a counter
  - [ ] Selected Work alternates full/half card rows
  - [ ] Case studies end with a working next-project link
  - [ ] Contact form handles all states
  - [ ] Overlay text passes contrast on every slide
