BIM Verdi Design Skill
This skill generates frontend code for BIM Verdi (bimverdi.no) that follows the established design system and avoids generic "AI slop" aesthetics.
Anti-Pattern Awareness
LLMs naturally converge toward high-probability outputs. In frontend design, this creates generic results. Avoid these AI defaults:
| AI Default | BIM Verdi Instead |
|---|---|
| Inter font everywhere | Moderat (fallback: Inter) |
| Purple/blue gradients | Warm orange #FF8B5E accent |
| Cards with shadows everywhere | Borderless sections + dividers |
| Rounded corners (16px+) | Subtle radius (8px buttons, 12px cards) |
| Heavy drop shadows | No shadows or very subtle |
| Hover on containers | Hover ONLY on interactive elements |
| Generic placeholder text | Real Norwegian content |
Design Philosophy
Variant B: Dividers & Whitespace is the standard.
Core principles:
- P1: Whitespace + hairline dividers are primary structure (not boxes)
- P2: Only buttons, links, menu items are clickable
- P3: Information = borderless sections; Actions = buttons/links
- P4: Never show empty fields (hide or show "Ikke oppgitt")
- P5: Calm, consistent enterprise style (minimal visual noise)
Color Palette
/* Primary */
--color-primary: #FF8B5E; /* Warm orange - main accent */
--color-primary-dark: #E67A4E;
--color-primary-light: #FFBFA8;
/* Neutrals */
--color-black: #1A1A1A; /* Primary text */
--color-gray-dark: #383838;
--color-gray-medium: #888888;
--color-gray-light: #D1D1D1;
--color-white: #FFFFFF;
/* Backgrounds */
--color-beige: #F7F5EF; /* Warm off-white */
--color-beige-dark: #EFE9DE;
body background: #FAFAF8;
/* State */
--color-success: #B3DB87;
--color-error: #772015;
--color-alert: #FFC845;
--color-info: #005898;
Usage rules:
- Primary orange: CTA buttons, active states, important links
- Never introduce new accent colors without explicit decision
- Text is always #1A1A1A or #383838
- Backgrounds are warm (beige family), never pure white or gray
Typography
Font stack: 'Moderat', 'Inter', system-ui, -apple-system, sans-serif
| Element | Size | Weight | Line Height |
|---|---|---|---|
| H1 | 3rem (48px) | 700 | 1.2 |
| H2 | 2rem (32px) | 700 | 1.2 |
| H3 | 1.5rem (24px) | 600 | 1.2 |
| H4 | 1.25rem (20px) | 600 | 1.2 |
| Body | 1rem (16px) | 400 | 1.5-1.75 |
| Small | 0.875rem (14px) | 400 | 1.5 |
Rules:
- No ALL CAPS except sparingly for labels/overlines
- Semantic heading order (H1 -> H2 -> H3)
- Good line height for readability
Spacing System
8px base scale: 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64
--spacing-xs: 0.5rem; /* 8px */
--spacing-sm: 1rem; /* 16px */
--spacing-md: 1.5rem; /* 24px */
--spacing-lg: 2rem; /* 32px */
--spacing-xl: 3rem; /* 48px */
--spacing-2xl: 4rem; /* 64px */
Use few, consistent spacing values per page.
