# UI Design Principles

## SECTION 6 — UI DESIGN PRINCIPLES

### 6.1 Core Principles (Non-Negotiable)

<table><thead><tr><th width="207.0625">Principle</th><th>Specification</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Minimalist Design</strong></td><td>Clean, distraction-free interface. No decorative clutter. Content is the focal point.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Intuitive Navigation</strong></td><td>Clear visual hierarchy. Consistent interaction patterns across all screens.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Responsive Layout</strong></td><td>Seamless experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile. Mobile is not an afterthought.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Accessibility</strong></td><td>WCAG 2.1 AA compliance mandatory across all screens. Full keyboard navigation support.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Component Library</strong></td><td>ShadCN UI is the primary component library, supplemented by compatible third-party ShadCN registries (e.g. ui.tripled.work). Use ShadCN components as the baseline — customise, do not replace with ad-hoc implementations.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### 6.2 Design Handoff Protocol

* **Figma designs** will be provided for select priority screens and user flows.
* Where Figma is provided: developer implements pixel-perfect — zero deviation permitted.
* **Screens without Figma coverage**: developer exercises full creative freedom within the principles above.
* **Reference UI**: If the developer needs directional clarity on any un-specced screen, a reference app or competitor example will be provided by the product owner upon request.
