Core visual design principles for interfaces: typography hierarchy, spacing systems, color theory, contrast, and layout fundamentals. Covers type scale construction, the 8pt grid system, accessible contrast ratios, and visual hierarchy techniques. This is about the visual layer — the pixels users see. Use when designing or reviewing the visual appearance of any interface. Triggers on: "typography", "spacing", "color theory", "contrast", "visual hierarchy", "layout fundamentals", "design system basics".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

UI Visual Design
The visual layer — type, space, color, hierarchy. Depth in references/.
Essentials
- Type: One ratio-based scale; ≤2 faces; body ≥16px on mobile; measure 45–75ch.
- Space: One grid (default 8pt); proximity groups related items; no one-off pixels.
- Color: Small role set; WCAG AA contrast; never color-only meaning; 60-30-10.
- Hierarchy: Size, weight, color, position, whitespace, depth — pick 2–3, not all at once.
Visual hierarchy (quick)
- Size → 2. Weight → 3. Contrast/color → 4. Position → 5. Isolation (whitespace) → 6. Elevation
Western scanning often follows a Z-pattern — place key signals on the Z corners.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
