Avoid generic, AI-generated aesthetics. Prioritize clarity, restraint, hierarchy, and precision.

---

### Design Principles (Strictly Enforce)

- Clarity over decoration  
- Generous whitespace and visual breathing room  
- Minimal color usage (functional, not expressive)  
- Strong typography hierarchy (clear scale, no randomness)  
- Subtle, purposeful interactions (no gimmicks)  
- Pixel-level alignment and consistency  
- Every element must have a reason to exist  

---

### 1. Product Context
- What is the product?
- Who is the user?
- What is the primary action?

---

### 2. Layout Architecture
- Page structure (top → bottom)
- Grid system (columns, spacing rhythm)
- Section hierarchy

---

### 3. Typography System
- Font style (e.g. neutral sans-serif)

- Inputs
- Cards / containers
- Navigation

Ensure consistency and reusability.

---

### 6. Interaction Design

- Transitions (fast, smooth, minimal)
- Feedback patterns (loading, success, error)

---

### 7. Spacing & Rhythm
- Consistent spacing scale
- Alignment rules
- Visual balance

---

### 8. Output Structure

Provide:

- UI Overview (1–2 paragraphs)
- Layout Breakdown
