Next.js 16 + shadcn/ui

Build distinctive, production-grade interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics.

Core Principles

1. Minimize noise - Icons communicate; excessive labels don't
2. No generic AI-UI - Avoid purple gradients, excessive shadows, predictable layouts
3. Context over decoration - Every element serves a purpose
4. Theme consistency - Use CSS variables from globals.css, never hardcode colors
