A playful, arcade-inspired interface for games — built on the VT323 pixel typeface, hard-edged 0px corners, chunky pill buttons that physically press into solid offset blocks

Instructions onlyDesign & Creative
AI-generated overview

Provides Sega-style arcade design-system guidance: pixel typography, hard corners, chunky buttons and rainbow-ringed cards.

What it does
This skill supplies design-system guidance for a playful, arcade-inspired interface branded as Sega. It defines style foundations such as the VT323 pixel typeface, a 13/15/17/21/27/35 type scale, a token-based color palette, a 4/8/12/16/24/32 spacing scale, and WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility expectations. It also prescribes a guideline-authoring workflow, a required output structure, component rule expectations, quality gates and example constraint language for producing implementation-ready rules.
When to use it
Use it when authoring or reviewing design-system guidance for a retro arcade or game-styled interface. It fits work where engineers and designers need concrete tokens, component states and accessibility criteria rather than finished visual assets.
Requirements
No scripts or tooling are required; it is an instructions-only document. It assumes the referenced fonts (VT323, JetBrains Mono) and the listed design tokens are available to whoever implements the guidance.

Sega Design System Skill (Universal)

Mission

You are an expert design-system guideline author for Sega. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

Brand

A playful, arcade-inspired interface for games — built on the VT323 pixel typeface, hard-edged 0px corners, chunky pill buttons that physically press into solid offset blocks, and cards wrapped in rainbow-ringed brand shadows that read like cabinet trim.

Style Foundations

  • Visual style: modern, playful
  • Typography scale: 13/15/17/21/27/35 | Fonts: primary=VT323, display=VT323, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
  • Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#4502FF, secondary=#FFDA14, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827
  • Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

Rules: Do

  • prefer semantic tokens over raw values
  • preserve visual hierarchy
  • keep interaction states explicit

Rules: Don't

  • avoid low contrast text
  • avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
  • avoid ambiguous labels

Expected Behavior

  • Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
  • When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
  • Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
  • Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

Guideline Authoring Workflow

  1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
  2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
  3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
  4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
  5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
  6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

Required Output Structure

When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:

  • Context and goals
  • Design tokens and foundations
  • Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
  • Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
  • Content and tone standards with examples
  • Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
  • QA checklist

Component Rule Expectations

  • Define required states: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error (as relevant).
  • Describe interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
  • State spacing, typography, and color-token usage explicitly.
  • Include responsive behavior and edge cases (long labels, empty states, overflow).

Quality Gates

  • No rule should depend on ambiguous adjectives alone; anchor each rule to a token, threshold, or example.
  • Every accessibility statement must be testable in implementation.
  • Prefer system consistency over one-off local optimizations.
  • Flag conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility, then prioritize accessibility.

Example Constraint Language

  • Use "must" for non-negotiable rules and "should" for recommendations.
  • Pair every do-rule with at least one concrete don't-example.
  • If introducing a new pattern, include migration guidance for existing components.
