Mem UI Skills

Opinionated constraints for building Mem-style interfaces with AI agents.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

• Building light-mode interfaces
• Creating Mem-inspired design systems
• Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

Colors

• SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
• MUST use #F9F5ED as page background (surface-base)
• MUST use #95A3DC for primary actions and focus states (accent)
• SHOULD limit color palette to 9 distinct colors
• MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Semantic Tokens

Token	HEX	RGB	Usage
surface-base	#F9F5ED	rgb(249,245,237)	Page background
surface-raised	#EADCC3	rgb(234,220,195)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
text-primary	#474449	rgb(71,68,73)	Headings, body text
text-2	#665E53	rgb(102,94,83)	Additional text
text-tertiary	#2F2C3D	rgb(47,44,61)	Additional text
border-default	#534F59	rgb(83,79,89)	Subtle borders, dividers
warning	#F9F5ED	rgb(249,245,237)	Warning states, cautions
accent	#95A3DC	rgb(149,163,220)	Primary actions, links, focus

Typography

• MUST use Inter as primary font family
• SHOULD use single font family for consistency
• MUST use 86px / 700 for primary headings
• MUST use 20px / 400 for body text
• MUST limit font weights to: regular, bold, semi_bold
• MUST use text-balance for headings and text-pretty for body text
• SHOULD use tabular-nums for numeric data
• NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested

Text Styles

Style	Font	Size	Weight	Color	Count
heading-1	Inter	86px	700	#2F2C3D	1
body	Inter	20px	400	#665E53	1
body-secondary	Inter	20px	400	#423E44	1
body-secondary	Inter	19px	400	#474349	1
body-secondary	Inter	19px	400	#514B51	1
body-secondary	Inter	19px	400	#605A60	1
body-secondary	Inter	19px	semi_bold	#34313F	1
body-secondary	Inter	18px	400	#504B4F	1
body-secondary	Inter	18px	400	#514D53	1
text-16px	Inter	16px	400	#474449	1

Typography Reference

Font Families:

• Inter (used 13x)

Font Sizes: 13px, 14px, 16px, 18px, 19px, 20px, 86px

Spacing

• MUST use 4px grid for spacing
• SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 13px, 28px
• SHOULD use 5px as default gap between elements
• NEVER use arbitrary spacing values (use design scale)
• SHOULD maintain consistent padding within containers

Borders

• MUST use border-radius from scale: 16px, 29px, 32px, 33px, 37px, 39px
• SHOULD use 29px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
• SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px, 3px
• SHOULD use 37px as default border-radius
• NEVER use arbitrary border-radius values (use design scale)
• SHOULD use subtle borders (1px) for element separation

Border Radius Reference

Scale: 16px, 29px, 32px, 33px, 37px, 39px

Layout

• MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
• SHOULD use consistent element widths: 302px, 304px, 74px
• SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
• NEVER use h-screen, use h-dvh for full viewport height
• MUST respect safe-area-inset for fixed elements
• SHOULD use size-* for square elements instead of w-* + h-*

Detected Layout Patterns

• Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 937px
• Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 920px
• Header: height: 72px
• Header: height: 71px

Components

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#474449	none	-	-

Interactive States

Focus

• MUST use 2px outline with accent color (#95A3DC)
• MUST use 2px outline-offset
• NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

• Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
• Buttons (secondary): use #EADCC3 background
• List items: use #EADCC3 background

Disabled

• MUST use opacity: 0.5
• MUST use cursor: not-allowed

Interaction

• MUST use an AlertDialog for destructive or irreversible actions
• SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
• MUST show errors next to where the action happens
• NEVER block paste in input or textarea elements
• MUST add an aria-label to icon-only buttons

Animation

• NEVER add animation unless it is explicitly requested
• MUST animate only compositor props (transform, opacity)
• NEVER animate layout properties (width, height, top, left, margin, padding)
• SHOULD use ease-out on entrance animations
• NEVER exceed 200ms for interaction feedback
• SHOULD respect prefers-reduced-motion

Performance

• NEVER animate large blur() or backdrop-filter surfaces
• NEVER apply will-change outside an active animation
• NEVER use useEffect for anything that can be expressed as render logic
