Using "frontend-design". Create a pricing page for a SaaS product with a bold, modern aesthetic

Expected outcome:

A complete pricing page with three tiers, custom pricing cards featuring gradient accents, staggered reveal animations on load, hover micro-interactions, a toggle for monthly/yearly pricing, and a distinctive dark theme with sharp accent colors. Typography pairs a bold display font with a clean body font.

Using "frontend-design". Build a login form with personality

Expected outcome:

An animated login form with a distinctive split-screen layout. Left side features an abstract geometric background with grain texture. Right side has the form with custom-styled inputs featuring floating labels, a memorable submit button with hover animation, and error states with smooth transitions.

Security Audit

Safe
v1 • 2/24/2026

All 16 static findings are false positives. The scanner incorrectly flagged 'weak cryptographic algorithm' on design guideline text (lines mentioning 'design', 'bold', 'retro-futuristic', 'art deco'). The 'system reconnaissance' flags on lines 7, 30, 34 refer to design context ('purpose', 'spatial composition'), not actual system scanning. This is a pure documentation skill with no scripts, network calls, filesystem access, environment access, or external commands. Safe to publish.

Try These Prompts

Basic component request
Create a [component type] for a [use case]. Make it visually distinctive and production-ready with [style preference].
Full page with design direction
Build a complete [page type] page. Use a [aesthetic direction like brutalist/minimalist/retro-futuristic] aesthetic. Include [specific sections].

Best Practices

  • Choose ONE clear aesthetic direction and commit fully - refined minimalism or bold maximalism both work, but mixed intentions create generic results
  • Use distinctive font pairings: avoid Inter/Roboto/Arial, instead choose memorable display fonts paired with refined body type
  • Prioritize fewer, higher-impact animations over scattered micro-interactions - one orchestrated reveal creates more delight

Avoid

  • Converging on common AI choices like Space Grotesk, purple gradients, or predictable component patterns
  • Using timid, evenly-distributed color palettes instead of dominant colors with sharp accents
  • Defaulting to solid backgrounds without textures, depth, or contextual visual atmosphere
