Guidelines

Do

  • Lead with one chat composer and a clear build target before showing advanced controls.
  • Use blue/cyan light as a signal over a dark neutral surface, with contrast-safe text and borders.
  • Make mode, model, import, and testing states keyboard-operable and easy to understand.
  • Use feature cards to explain the integrated path from prompt through hosting.

Don't

  • ×Do not copy the Bolt logo, customer marks, page copy, or proprietary background artwork.
  • ×Do not make every control glow; reserve the accent for active and primary states.
  • ×Do not bury import or plan/build mode behind hover-only interactions.
  • ×Do not ship a full IDE; keep each specimen focused on one build decision.

Imagery

Use original abstract geometry, code-like lines, gradients, and browser/runtime framing only when they clarify the workflow. Never copy reference screenshots, logos, customer imagery, template thumbnails, or proprietary illustrations.

Layout

Use a centered max-width shell, clear section rhythm, one dominant task per specimen, and a single-column fallback at 520–760px. Keep tables and runtime rows scroll-safe.

Concept

A complete visual language, ready to inspect.

Use the file tree to move between the full reference preview, implementation guidance, portable tokens, and framework-ready styles. Each surface stays focused, so you can understand the system before copying code.
