Superhuman Design System

Apply the Superhuman brand design system to generate pixel-perfect UI that matches the Superhuman aesthetic.

When to Use

  • User says "make it look like Superhuman" or "superhuman style"
  • User wants the Superhuman design language applied to their project
  • User references Superhuman's visual aesthetic, colors, or typography

How to Use

  1. Read the full design system: Open references/DESIGN.md in this skill directory — it contains the complete Superhuman design specification with 9 sections
  2. Apply exactly: Use the exact hex codes, font stacks, spacing values, shadow systems, and component specs from the reference
  3. Follow the Do's and Don'ts: Section 7 contains brand-specific guardrails
  4. Use the Agent Prompt Guide: Section 9 has quick color references and ready-to-use component prompts

Precedence

When this skill is active, the Superhuman design system overrides generic design rules for colors, typography, spacing, shadows, and component patterns. Generic rules still apply for motion choreography, performance guardrails, and anti-patterns not covered by this design system.
