minimalist-design

An agent skill for building minimal, monospace interfaces.


WHAT IT IS

A design system with one constraint: everything is the same. IBM Plex Mono at 1rem, 400 weight, throughout. No type scale, no bold, no italic.

Hierarchy comes from arrangement — blank lines, indentation, ALL-CAPS labels. Two colors: stone-100 and stone-700, swapped for dark mode via prefers-color-scheme.

WHEN TO USE IT

When someone asks for minimal, simple, clean, stark, monospace, terminal, or text-first. Also: "keep it simple", "nothing fancy", "strip it back", "developer aesthetic", "no frills".

Works well for documentation, dev tools, CLIs, portfolios, and any interface where the content should speak for itself.

INSTALL

Works with OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and any agent supporting the Agent Skills spec (agentskills.io).
