brijr-ui — Restrained Product Design System

This skill enforces a specific design philosophy when building product interfaces. It is not generic guidance — it is an opinionated constraint system.

Core Constraints

Read these before writing any UI code. Every rule is testable — you should be able to look at a screen and answer yes/no.

Non-Negotiables

1. Restraint over expression. Prefer reduction and clarity over visual novelty.
2. Minimal typography variance. Hierarchy comes from weight, spacing, placement, alignment, grouping, density, and contrast — not type size jumps.
3. Calm over busy. Interfaces feel quiet and easy to scan.
4. Structure over decoration. Layout, spacing, and rhythm before visual chrome.
5. System over one-offs. Repeated elements follow one consistent pattern.
6. Neutral first. The UI works in grayscale before accent color is added.
7. Shadcn is a foundation, not the final look. Never ship default-looking shadcn components. See "shadcn Foundation" below for how to refine them.
