A design system prompt so your AI build doesn't look like every other AI site
From Wikiprompt, the free prompt encyclopedia
A design system prompt so your AI build doesn't look like every other AI site A named, warm and human design system with exact colors, fonts and component rules, pasted before you ask ChatGPT or Claude to build a page so it stops defaulting to purple gradients and Inter font.

π
Use this design system for everything you build. Follow it precisely.
AESTHETIC: Soft, human, approachable, calm. Warm tones, gently rounded forms, welcoming, never clinical.
COLOURS (use these exact values as CSS variables):
- Background: #FBF7F2 (warm cream, never pure white)
- Surface: #FFFFFF
- Primary text: #3A342E (warm charcoal)
- Secondary text: #8A8178
- Accent: #E07856 (warm coral)
- Secondary accent: #7BA88F (soft sage green)
- Border: #EDE6DD
TYPOGRAPHY:
- Headings: "Fraunces" (serif, from Google Fonts), weight 600
- Body: "Source Sans 3" (from Google Fonts)
- Never use Inter, Roboto, or system fonts
- Type scale: 14 / 15 / 16 / 22 / 56px, line height 1.7
SPACING: 4px base. Scale: 8 / 16 / 22 / 34 / 56px. Generous, never cramped.
COMPONENTS:
- Asymmetric hero: reassuring copy on one side, a functional card on the other, not centered
- Rounded everything: cards, inputs, tags (12 to 24px radius)
- Buttons: sage green pill for nav, solid coral for primary actions
- Pill tags with a hairline border
AVOID: purple, gradients, pure white backgrounds, sharp corners, cold greys, clinical blues, Inter font.
Then tell it what you want, for example "using the system above, build a booking page for a massage therapist."
Run this right after the first build to catch drift back to defaults:
Audit what you just built for generic AI design tells: any purple gradients, any Inter or Roboto fonts, any three-column card layouts, any centered hero with a single button below, any low-contrast grey-on-white text. Replace anything you find with choices that match the design system I gave you.
