Pinterest UI Skills

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

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

Building light-mode interfaces
Creating Pinterest-inspired design systems
Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid

Colors

SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces
MUST use
```
#FFFFFF
```
as page background (
```
surface-base
```
)
SHOULD reduce color palette (currently 11 colors detected)
MUST maintain text contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for accessibility

Semantic Tokens

Token	HEX	RGB	Usage
`surface-base`	#FFFFFF	rgb(255,255,255)	Page background
`surface-raised`	#DC001A	rgb(220,0,26)	Cards, modals, raised surfaces
`surface-overlay`	#DDDED8	rgb(221,222,216)	Overlays, tooltips, dropdowns
`text-primary`	#3B3B3A	rgb(59,59,58)	Headings, body text
`text-secondary`	#ED93A1	rgb(237,147,161)	Secondary, muted text
`text-tertiary`	#EB5B3E	rgb(235,91,62)	Additional text
`border-default`	#BC1C31	rgb(188,28,49)	Subtle borders, dividers
`destructive`	#EB5B3E	rgb(235,91,62)	Error states, delete actions

Typography

MUST use
```
Inter
```
as primary font family
SHOULD use single font family for consistency
MUST use
```
49px
```
/
```
700
```
for primary headings
MUST use
```
19px
```
/
```
400
```
for body text
MUST limit font weights to: bold, semi_bold, regular
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

Text Styles

Style	Font	Size	Weight	Color	Count
`heading-1`	Inter	49px	700	#383538	1
`heading-2`	Inter	46px	700	#EB5B3E	1
`text-37px`	Inter	37px	700	#111111	1
`body`	Inter	19px	400	#3B3B3A	1

```
Inter
```
(used 15x)

Font Sizes: 11px, 12px, 14px, 16px, 19px, 37px, 46px, 49px

Spacing

MUST use 4px grid for spacing
SHOULD use spacing from scale: 3px, 4px, 5px, 51px, 71px
SHOULD use 5px 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: 13px, 15px
MUST use 1px border width consistently
SHOULD use 15px 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: 13px, 15px

Layout

MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
SHOULD use consistent element widths: 10px
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

Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 759px
Main Content: width: 1920px, height: 690px

Components

Buttons

Variant	Background	Text	Border	Height	Radius
Ghost	transparent	#ED93A1	none	-	-

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
```
#DC001A
```
background
List items: use
```
#DC001A
```
background

Disabled

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

Interaction

MUST use an
```
AlertDialog

MUST show errors next to where the action happens
NEVER block paste in
```
input
```
or
```
textarea
```
elements
MUST add an

```
height
```
,
```
top
```

left
```
,
```
margin
```
,
```
padding

Performance

NEVER animate large
```
blur()
```
or
