Skill1 starsChanged 11 days agoMITView on GitHub

Design raw mechanical interfaces with Swiss typographic print and military terminal aesthetics: rigid grids, extreme type scale, utilitarian color. Do NOT use for soft UIs.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use when: user chooses brutalist / military / industrial / tactical design direction.

    line 19
  2. Distinctive:

    Zero border-radius: All corners 90 degrees.

    line 65

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Industrial Brutalism & Tactical Telemetry UI

When to Use

Use when: user chooses brutalist / military / industrial / tactical design direction.

Architect web interfaces synthesizing mid-century Swiss design, industrial manuals, and retro-futuristic aerospace terminals.

When NOT to Use

  • Soft, polished, or consumer UIs
  • Interfaces requiring rounded corners or gradients

Output Contract

Brutalist UI source code — HTML/CSS (framework-agnostic visual layer) in source files, single archetype selected (not mixed), zero border-radius, macro-typography using clamp() for fluid scale, ASCII decorative elements present, grid with gap-1px dividing lines, analog degradation effects applied (halftone/scanlines/noise).

Visual Archetype (Pick ONE per project)

Swiss Industrial Print (Light)

  • Background: #F4F4F0 (matte documentation paper)
  • Foreground: #050505 (carbon ink)
  • Accent: #E61919 (hazard red — the ONLY accent)
  • Heavy sans-serif, visible dividing lines, massive negative space

Tactical Telemetry / CRT Terminal (Dark)

  • Background: #0A0A0A (deactivated CRT)
  • Foreground: #EAEAEA (white phosphor)
  • Accent: #E61919 (aviation red)
  • Optional: #4AF626 (terminal green, ONE element only)
  • Monospace dominant, framed data points, scanlines

Typography

Macro (Structural Headers)

  • Neue Haas Grotesk, Inter Extra Bold, Archivo Black, Monument Extended
  • Fluid scale: clamp(4rem, 10vw, 15rem)
  • Negative tracking: -0.03em to -0.06em
  • Compressed leading: 0.85 to 0.95
  • Exclusively UPPERCASE

Micro (Data & Telemetry)

  • JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, Space Mono
  • Fixed small: 10px to 14px
  • Generous tracking: 0.05em to 0.1em
  • Exclusively UPPERCASE

Layout

  • CSS Grid with gap: 1px and contrasting parent/child backgrounds for razor-thin dividing lines
  • Zero border-radius. All corners 90 degrees.
  • Visible compartmentalization with solid 1-2px borders
  • ASCII framing: [ DELIVERY SYSTEMS ], >>>, ///, \\\
  • Industrial markers: ®, ©, ™ as structural geometric elements

Textural Effects

  • Halftone / 1-bit dithering on images (CSS mix-blend-mode: multiply + SVG dot pattern)
  • CRT scanlines: repeating-linear-gradient(0deg, transparent, transparent 2px, rgba(0,0,0,0.1) 2px)
  • Mechanical noise: global low-opacity SVG static filter on DOM root

DESIGN.md Output

Populates DESIGN.md sections 1-12 with brutalist constraints:

SectionValues
Color PaletteHazard red #E61919, near-black #0A0A0A, near-white #F4F4F0. No purple.
TypographyDisplay: Neue Haas Grotesk/Archivo Black (macro, uppercase). Mono: JetBrains Mono (micro). Negative tracking.
Spacing Scale4px baseline. gap: 1px grid lines. No generous whitespace.
Component SpecsZero border-radius. ASCII framing (>>>). Scanlines or halftone noise.
Anti-Pattern BansNo border-radius anywhere. No gradients. No sans-serif for headings.

Pre-Output Checklist

  • Single visual archetype selected (not mixed)
  • No border-radius anywhere
  • Macro-typography uses clamp() for fluid scale
  • ASCII decorative elements present
  • Layout uses grid with gap-1px technique
  • Analog degradation effects applied (halftone, scanlines, or noise)
  • Semantic tags used (<data>, <samp>, <kbd>, <output>)

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.
