- Algorithmic Color PaletteDembrandtDerive a full UI palette from one or two brand colours — state variants, brand-tinted greys, semantic colours. Use when building or expanding a colour system.
- App ShellDembrandtTop bar, sidebar rail, app launcher, tenant and environment cue, status bar. Use when designing the persistent shell, a collapsible sidebar, or navigation between apps behind one login.
- Authentic Product RepresentationDembrandtProduct visuals must show the real product with real data. Use when building landing pages, hero sections, screenshots or demo panels.
- Brand Visual LanguageDembrandtShape language across type, radius and icons carries brand personality. Use when starting a design system, picking icons or radius tokens, or reviewing visual consistency.
- Button StatesDembrandtRest, hover, active, focus, disabled and loading states, derived from the base colour. Use when designing buttons, links, inputs or any clickable component.
- Clone WebsiteDembrandtRebuild a live web page 1:1 from measurement into Figma, Penpot or code, then verify it. Use when reproducing a page or checking a rebuild against the original.
- Color Mode And ThemeDembrandtLight, dark or both, and when a theme selector is worth it. Use when defining a base palette or deciding on dark mode support.
- Component Family ConsistencyDembrandtButtons, inputs, badges and pills share radius, colour logic, shadow, border and spacing. Use when building or reviewing a component library.
- Coordinated Data ViewsDembrandtShow a table and its map, diagram, timeline or chart together, with selection synced both ways. Use when data appears in two representations at once.
- Data Display And SelectionDembrandtView modes, row selection, mass actions, sorting, filters, search and table patterns. Use when designing data tables, listings, file browsers or any collection.
- DembrandtDembrandtOrchestrator that routes a UI/UX task through brand, tokens, layout, components, polish and accessibility. Use for multi-concern work such as a design review, UI build or interface audit.
- Domain Expert ConfigurationDembrandtSettings for experts who are not developers — domain language, sane defaults, grouping by professional concept. Use when designing settings panels, solver configuration or constraint editors.
- Elevation And DepthDembrandtShadows and layering that lift elements above the surface. Use when designing cards, dropdowns, modals, tooltips or any floating element.
- Extract DesignDembrandtExtract colours, typography, spacing, components and W3C design tokens from a live website with Dembrandt. Use when you need a site's real tokens or want to seed a design system from it.
- Form DesignDembrandtHelper text, placeholders, validation and submit behaviour. Use when designing or reviewing a form, input field or data entry UI.
- Generate UI From BrandDembrandtPipeline from a URL or DESIGN.md to tokens, decisions and a UI spec. Use when building UI for an existing brand, auditing a design system or fixing visual inconsistency.
- Gestalt UI OrganisationDembrandtGroup controls with Gestalt principles so users see what belongs together. Use when laying out components, navigation, toolbars, forms or dashboards.
- Global Toolbar ControlsDembrandtCurrency, language, region and unit selectors live in a low-profile header or footer spot. Use when designing locale switchers or product-wide preference controls.
- Information ArchitectureDembrandtNaming, navigation, a UI that mirrors the data model, confirms for irreversible changes. Use when structuring a large application or naming its entities.
- Layout Paradigms And ConsistencyDembrandtChoose a layout paradigm (feed, board, table, canvas, master-detail, dashboard) and reuse it across screens. Includes a landing page narrative framework. Use when structuring a screen, page template or landing page.
- Loading States And Perceived PerformanceDembrandtSpinners, skeletons and staggered reveals that manage wait times. Use when designing loading states, async data or the feel of a slow interface.
- Marketing Vs Product SystemDembrandtA marketing site and its product may differ in density and scale but share one token layer. Use when the two drift apart, share components or need a single token owner.
- Micro InteractionsDembrandtSmall purposeful animations — toggles, animated icons, success moments. Use when designing interactive feedback, success states or loaders.
- Modal And Overlay PatternsDembrandtModals, drawers, bottom sheets and popovers, each with its scope and blocking level. Use when designing dialogs, confirmations, side panels or action sheets.
- Modular Scale TypographyDembrandtRatio-based type scale where every size relates to the others. Use when defining font sizes or type tokens, or when typography feels arbitrary.
- Motion And StorytellingDembrandtDisney's animation principles and cinematic technique applied to UI motion. Use when designing transitions, scroll animations or onboarding motion.
- Nielsen Usability HeuristicsDembrandtNielsen's 10 usability heuristics. Use when auditing an interface, designing interaction flows, writing error messages or reviewing usability.
- Notifications And RecoveryDembrandtToasts, inline errors, banners and recovery paths. Use when designing error states, success confirmations, async feedback or in-place editing.
- Operational Expert Tool UIDembrandtDense, linear, status-at-a-glance UI for specialists who use a tool all day. Use when designing dispatch, warehouse, logistics, scheduling or other B2B operations tools.
- Performance And Web VitalsDembrandtLighthouse audits and Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS, INP. Use when optimising page load, layout shift, input delay, images, fonts or render-blocking resources.
- Real World MetaphorsDembrandtCards, drawers, carousels and other patterns borrowed from the physical world. Use when designing layout patterns, gestures or navigation paradigms.
- Repeated Component AlignmentDembrandtCards, rows, tiles and cells are fixed slot models that stay aligned when content length varies. Use when building or reviewing any repeated component.
- Responsive ParadigmsDembrandtMobile, tablet and desktop are different paradigms, not one layout scaled. Use when designing responsive layouts or deciding what each breakpoint shows.
- Scroll AreasDembrandtAvoid inner scroll containers; when unavoidable, one axis at a time. Use when a layout, table or panel might scroll inside the page.
- Semantic Html And SEODembrandtSemantic HTML5, SEO basics, alt text, progressive enhancement and SPA concerns. Use when building web UI, reviewing markup or optimising for search.
- Sizing UnitsDembrandtrem, px or relative units for each kind of value. Use when defining spacing and sizing tokens, control heights or media queries, or when a layout breaks under enlarged text.
- Status Colors And ErrorsDembrandtFew semantic colours, each meaning one thing, and errors with a way forward. Use when designing status indicators, validation, alerts or error states.
- Sticky And Fixed ElementsDembrandtSticky headers, bottom toolbars, floating action buttons and pinned table headers. Use when deciding what stays on screen while the user scrolls.
- Surface SeparationDembrandtSet a surface apart by one means — border, elevation or fill — and keep opacity for state. Use when designing cards, panels, list rows, toolbars or any container.
- Tab NavigationDembrandtTabs swap views under a shared context. Use when designing tabbed layouts, settings pages, detail views or dashboards with several data views.
- UI Context And ScopeDembrandtShow where the user is and what their actions affect — breadcrumbs, regions, scope labels. Use when designing deep navigation or multi-section layouts.
- UI DensityDembrandtMatch information density to platform and user type. Use when designing data tables, dashboards or toolbars, or adapting a desktop product for mobile.
- User Flows And Guided PathsDembrandtGuided multi-step paths and wizards. Use when designing onboarding, checkout, setup sequences or any multi-step journey.
- Visual Emphasis And HierarchyDembrandtSize, colour, weight and position mark what matters most. Use when designing button groups, CTAs, cards, dashboards or any layout with a primary action.
- Wcag AccessibilityDembrandtWCAG 2.2 AA compliance as required by the European Accessibility Act. Use when designing, building or reviewing any user-facing interface for accessibility.
