Gumroad UI Skills

Opinionated constraints for building Gumroad-style interfaces with AI agents.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:
  • Building dark-mode interfaces
  • Creating Gumroad-inspired design systems
  • Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

Colors

  • MUST use dark backgrounds (lightness < 20) for primary surfaces - detected lightness: 0
  • MUST use
    #000000
    as page background (
    surface-base
    )
  • SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 16 colors detected)
  • MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Typography

  • MUST use
    Inter
    as primary font family
  • SHOULD use single font family for consistency
  • MUST use
    92px
    /
    700
    for primary headings
  • MUST use
    18px
    /
    400
    for body text
  • SHOULD reduce font weights (currently 5 detected)
  • MUST use
    text-balance
    for headings and
    text-pretty
    for body text
  • SHOULD use
    tabular-nums
    for numeric data
  • NEVER modify letter-spacing unless explicitly requested

Spacing

  • MUST use 4px grid for spacing
  • SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 5px, 6px
  • SHOULD use 6px as default gap between elements
  • NEVER use arbitrary spacing values (use design scale)
  • SHOULD maintain consistent padding within containers

Borders

  • MUST use border-radius from scale: 16px, 19px, 21px, 22px, 23px
  • SHOULD use 21px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
  • SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px
  • SHOULD use 19px as default border-radius
  • NEVER use arbitrary border-radius values (use design scale)
  • SHOULD use subtle borders (1px) for element separation

Border Radius Reference

Scale: 16px, 19px, 21px, 22px, 23px

Layout

  • MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
  • SHOULD use consistent element widths: 16px, 730px, 246px, 31px, 196px
  • SHOULD maintain text-heavy layout with clear hierarchy
  • NEVER use
    h-screen
    , use
    h-dvh
    for full viewport height
  • MUST respect
    safe-area-inset
    for fixed elements
  • SHOULD use
    size-*
    for square elements instead of
    w-*
    +
    h-*

Detected Layout Patterns

  • Header: height: 81px
  • Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 997px
  • Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 1001px
  • Header: height: 78px

Components

  • MUST use

    height for input fields

Buttons

Inputs

  • Height:

Interactive States

Focus

  • MUST use
    2px
    outline with accent color (
    #5E6AD2
    )
  • MUST use
    2px
    outline-offset
  • NEVER remove focus indicators

Hover

  • Buttons (primary): lighten background by 10%
  • Buttons (secondary): use
    #FDFEFE
    background
  • List items: use
    #FDFEFE
    background

Disabled

  • MUST use
    opacity: 0.5
  • MUST use
    cursor: not-allowed

Interaction

  • MUST use an
    AlertDialog
    for destructive or irreversible actions
  • SHOULD use structural skeletons for loading states
  • MUST show errors next to where the action happens
  • NEVER block paste in
    input
    or
    textarea
    elements
  • MUST add an
    aria-label
    to icon-only buttons

Animation

  • NEVER add animation unless it is explicitly requested
  • MUST animate only compositor props (
    transform
    ,
    opacity
    )
  • NEVER animate layout properties (
    width
    ,
    height
    ,
    top
    ,
    left
    ,
    margin
    ,
    padding
    )
  • SHOULD use
    ease-out
    on entrance animations
  • NEVER exceed
    200ms
    for interaction feedback
  • SHOULD respect
    prefers-reduced-motion

Performance

  • NEVER animate large
    blur()
    or
    backdrop-filter
    surfaces
  • NEVER apply
    will-change
    outside an active animation
  • NEVER use
    useEffect
    for anything that can be expressed as render logic
