Superhuman UI Skills Opinionated constraints for building Superhuman-style interfaces with AI agents. When to Apply Reference these guidelines when: Building light-mode interfaces Creating Superhuman-inspired design systems Implementing UIs with Inter font and 4px grid Colors SHOULD use light backgrounds for primary surfaces MUST use

- 10px, 11px, 12px, 13px, 14px, 15px, 16px, 17px, 25px, 56px
- Spacing
- MUST use 4px grid for spacing
- SHOULD use spacing from scale: 1px, 2px, 3px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 7px, 8px
- SHOULD use 3px 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: 3px, 4px, 7px, 8px, 10px, 15px, 21px, 22px, 23px
- SHOULD use 21px+ radius for pill-shaped elements
- SHOULD limit border widths to: 1px, 2px, 3px, 5px
- SHOULD use 10px as default border-radius
- NEVER use arbitrary border-radius values (use design scale)
- SHOULD use subtle borders (1px) for element separation

- Layout
- MUST design for 1920px base viewport width
- SHOULD use consistent element widths: 11px, 10px, 14px, 44px, 220px
