Pesty frontend
DEPRECATED — superseded by the pesty-design skill, which is now the default for all new Pesty frontend work. Use this skill ONLY when maintaining an EXISTING dark-navy internal dashboard or tool that already uses these tokens (Epilogue + Montserrat, #001c28 background). For anything new, use pesty-design instead.From its SKILL.md

Pesty Frontend Skill
Mode Detection
Determine mode before writing any code:
- Dashboard / internal tool — dark navy default, full token set, Epilogue headings, accessible at
pestymarketing.com/internal/ - Client report — light theme override, Arial for print-compat, max-width 860px, accessible at
pestymarketing.com/clients/ - Single-page tool / one-pager — dark navy default; confirm if ambiguous
Mandatory Rules (ALL modes)
Read references/design-tokens.md first. Then:
- Start every new file by copying the
:rootblock fromreferences/design-tokens.mdinto<style>. Never hardcode color or spacing values. - Google Fonts — always include this exact link in
<head>:<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Epilogue:wght@600;700;800&family=Montserrat:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> - Pill scale — 11px for status badges / delta / labels; 28px for KPI data values. Never swap these.
- Logo — always
<img src="logo.png">inside a flex anchor:
Never inline SVG. Never use a color logo variant.<a style="display:flex;align-items:center"><img src="logo.png" style="display:block;height:28px;width:auto"></a> - 3+ actions in a row — use text pill links, not icon-only buttons.
- CSS-only animations — no JS animation libraries unless the user asks explicitly.
- Single-file HTML — unless the project already has a multi-file structure.
- Spacing — 8pt grid only: 4/8/12/16/24/32/48/64/80px. No arbitrary values.
- Transitions — name specific properties, never
transition: all. Standard:150ms ease. - Shadows — navy-tinted base:
rgba(0, 35, 48, ...). Never pure blackrgba(0,0,0,...).
Dashboard / Internal Tool Mode
Standard rules apply. Additionally:
One-pager delta: a single-page tool / one-pager follows this Dashboard Mode section as its base (dark navy, same token set, same fonts) — the only difference is scope: one file, one view, no topbar navigation between sections. If ambiguous whether a request is a full dashboard or a one-pager, confirm with the user before building.
- Background:
var(--bg)(#001c28 dark navy) — never light background for internal tools - Body font: Montserrat 13px,
--textcolor,-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased - Page titles: Epilogue 800,
--whitecolor,letter-spacing: -0.5px - Section headers: Montserrat 13px 600,
--text-secondary, uppercase,letter-spacing: 0.5px, red left-border accent (border-left: 3px solid var(--accent)) - Container:
max-width: 960pxstandard; up to 1200px for data-dense dashboards - Topbar: flex,
align-items: center,justify-content: space-between,border-bottom: 1px solid var(--border-subtle)
Read references/patterns.md for complete topbar, card, table, and pill boilerplate.
Client Report Mode
- Use light theme token override from
references/design-tokens.md - Font: Arial (no Google Fonts load — print/PDF safe)
- Max-width: 860px, white surface cards, standard semantic colors for status
- Logos: base64-embedded in
<img src="data:image/png;base64,...">for full portability - No CSS animations
- Self-contained: no external dependencies beyond inline CSS
Anti-Patterns — Never Do
| Never | Instead |
|---|---|
| Inter, Roboto, system-ui as body font | Montserrat |
| Light background on internal dashboard | Dark navy #001c28 |
| Purple gradients | var(--accent) red or var(--blue) accents |

| Hero-scale (64px) text for status pills | 11px pill text, 28px for KPI values only |
translateY hover lifts | Background/border color change only |
transition: all | Name specific properties |
Pure black shadows rgba(0,0,0,...) | rgba(0, 35, 48, ...) navy-tinted |
| Hardcoded hex colors in styles | var(--token-name) |
| Font sizes below 11px | Use --text-secondary or lighter weight instead |
| Bottom-border section separators | border-left: 3px solid var(--accent) |
| Mixed border radii | 8px cards, 9999px pills, 4px bars |
text-align: center on topbar flex | Explicit align-items: center on flex containers |
