A public overview of the typography, palette, icon language, spacing, shape, and motion used throughout this AI Kit.

Style identity

Keyboard Orbit

An original launcher system based on Raycast's observed promise of fast, ergonomic, reliable access: dark native-feeling surfaces, a bright focus accent, mono shortcut labels, and command-first content hierarchy.

Guidelines

Do

  • Make typing the fastest path and keep the query field visibly focused.
  • Use mono text for shortcuts, status, and command metadata.
  • Keep result rows scannable with one title, one supporting line, and one action hint.
  • Use color accents to distinguish AI and extension context, not to decorate every row.
  • Keep focus and selected states obvious without relying on pointer hover.

Don't

  • ×Do not recreate the Raycast logo, protected extension artwork, or source screenshots.
  • ×Do not add a dashboard-sized panel when a launcher surface communicates the use case.
  • ×Do not hide the keyboard equivalent behind an icon-only control.
  • ×Do not make every result card a different color.
  • ×Do not remove the empty/no-result recovery path.

Imagery

Use original CSS key rows, extension tiles, command lists, and abstract glow planes. Avoid real extension icons, customer portraits, and copied product screenshots.

Layout

Use a 1180px rail with dark full-bleed campaign surfaces. Keep the launcher column narrow and centered; collapse extension grids from four to two to one columns; let command lists remain vertically scannable on mobile.

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.
