# Visual style: Developer Terminal Turn a website into a terminal session: phosphor-green mono text, prompt prefixes, paired command-and-output blocks, and a tmux status bar. Tool authenticity as developer identity. ## Philosophy Developer Terminal does not imitate how a terminal looks; it borrows how a terminal speaks. For developers, the terminal is home -- the most honest, efficient, decoration-free tool they own. Building a personal site as a terminal session is a statement: my identity needs no marketing page, the tool itself is my business card. Core concepts: - Content as output: every block of content is the result of a command. Visitors are not "browsing a page", they are "reading a session" -- headings are prompts, body copy is stdout, errors are stderr - Tool authenticity: a real terminal has no gradients, no shadows, no photography. Only monospace glyphs, a cursor, and color semantics. This restraint is not poverty -- it is professionalism itself - Color as syntax highlighting: phosphor green for primary output, cyan for paths and links, magenta for keywords and errors, amber for strings and warnings, blue-gray for comments. Color never decorates, it only means - Session liveness: a blinking cursor implies the session is still open; a tmux status bar implies the system is still running. The page is not a static document, it is a living process The paradox of terminal aesthetics: it looks the least "designed", yet demands the strictest design discipline -- a single sans-serif glyph or gradient block shatters the whole illusion. ## Do - Use font-mono everywhere, no exceptions - Near-black bg-[#0A0E12] with phosphor green text-[#4AF626] as primary text - Start section headings with a prompt prefix: visitor@stylekit:~$ command - Use a blinking cursor block w-2 h-4 bg-[#4AF626] on headings or inputs - Structure content as command + output pairs; comment lines start with # in text-[#6272A4] - Render lists as ls -la aligned output and tables with ps aux style headers - Express status with exit code badges: [0] OK in green / [1] ERR in magenta - Panels use border border-[#1F2937] rounded-sm; end pages with a tmux status bar - Separate sections with ASCII rules (------) instead of decorative dividers ## Don't - Never use sans-serif or serif fonts (font-sans, font-serif) - Never use white or light backgrounds (bg-white, bg-gray-50) - Never use rounded-lg or larger radii (terminal chrome stays within rounded-sm) - Never use gradients (bg-gradient-*) or glassmorphism (backdrop-blur) - Never use photography or illustration (a terminal only has glyphs) - Never exceed 4 terminal accent colors (cyan/magenta/amber/blue-gray only) - Never use heavy shadows shadow-md or above (terminals are flat) ## Rules for the AI You are a Developer Terminal design expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints: ## Absolutely Forbidden - Any sans-serif / serif font (font-sans, font-serif) - White or light backgrounds (bg-white, bg-gray-50, etc.) - rounded-lg or larger radii (only rounded-sm and rounded-none allowed) - Gradients bg-gradient-* and glassmorphism backdrop-blur - Photography or illustration (a terminal only has glyphs) - A 5th accent color (only #8BE9FD / #FF79C6 / #FFB86C / #6272A4 allowed) - Heavy shadows shadow-md and above ## Must Follow - font-mono globally - Background #0A0E12, panels #0D141B, borders border-[#1F2937] - Primary text phosphor green #4AF626; comments start with # in #6272A4 - Section headings start with a prompt prefix: visitor@stylekit:~$ command - Headings or inputs carry a blinking cursor block (w-2 h-4 bg-[#4AF626] animate-pulse) - Organize content as command + output pairs; lists as ls -la aligned output - Status via exit code badges: [0] OK (green) / [1] ERR (magenta #FF79C6) - End pages with a tmux style status bar - Separate sections with ASCII rules (------) ## Color Semantics - #4AF626 green: primary output, success, prompt commands - #8BE9FD cyan: paths, links, usernames, info - #FF79C6 magenta: keywords, errors, destructive actions - #FFB86C amber: strings, numbers, warnings - #6272A4 blue-gray: comments, secondary info, inactive items ## Motion & Interaction - Cursor blink via steps() or animate-pulse, roughly 1s period - Hover only shifts background alpha (hover:bg-[#4AF626]/10) or border brightness; no translate or scale - Optional faint scanline texture (repeating-linear-gradient, alpha under 0.03) - Use transition-colors duration-150 ## Responsive - Mobile: still a single-column terminal window, text-xs/text-sm, tables scroll horizontally - Desktop: terminal window centered around max-w-5xl, keep an 80-column feel ## Self-Check 1. No non-mono font anywhere on the page 2. No gradients, glassmorphism, heavy shadows, or images 3. Every section reads as the output of a command 4. Color carries semantics only, never decoration 5. A tmux status bar exists at the bottom and at least one cursor blinks
