EVA STYLE UI DESIGN SKILL

Use this skill when creating, reviewing, or extending interfaces inspired by Evangelion monitor, tactical screen, and control-room aesthetics. It guides color selection, typography, pattern language, data density, motion, and component composition so outputs keep EVA's industrial red-orange instrument feel instead of drifting into generic sci-fi or SaaS dashboards.

EVA UI Skill

Current version: 1.0.1

Use this skill for EVA-inspired UI design systems, frontend implementation, component generation, prompt authoring, or design review.

Workflow

1. Start with references/style-principles.md to lock the visual direction.
2. Apply the system rules from references/tokens.md, references/typography.md, and references/motion.md.
3. Use references/pattern-language.md and references/data-elements.md to build the non-typographic visual grammar.
4. Build or review UI against references/component-rules.md.
5. Use references/prompt-recipes.md to generate new pages or components.
6. Reject outputs that match any failure mode in references/anti-patterns.md.

Required Style Principles

• High information density
• Hard-edged framing
• Red-orange status-driven color system
• Technical condensed typography
• Instrument-style motion
• Pattern language built from stripes, ticks, brackets, meshes, and calibration motifs
• Borders, rails, labels, and measurement marks should do more visual work than spacing or soft shadows

Reference Map

• references/style-principles.md
• references/tokens.md
• references/typography.md
• references/motion.md
• references/pattern-language.md
• references/data-elements.md
• references/component-rules.md
• references/prompt-recipes.md
• references/anti-patterns.md

Assets

• assets/example-lab/index.html
• assets/example-lab/styles.css

Use the example lab as a starting point for prototypes, demos, or component extraction.

Output Constraints

• Avoid soft SaaS cards, large radii, and friendly product-dashboard spacing.
• Avoid relying on typography alone; reinforce hierarchy with stripe bands, ticks, reticles, threshold bars, and rails.
• Treat red and orange as primary EVA command colors; use other hues only when they communicate a specific data mode.
• Prefer repeated structured modules over hero-card layouts.
• Decorative gradients are allowed only when they communicate field state, heat, scan, or energy behavior.
