Style identity

Slack-inspired Collaboration System

A conversation-first system shaped by Slack's current AI work platform page: an aubergine signal, editorial display type, living product proof, and workflows that keep people and agents in one thread.

Guidelines

Do

  • Keep one thread or workflow as the focal point of each specimen.
  • Use human labels and short status messages next to agent actions.
  • Make tabs, menus, commands, and composer states keyboard visible.
  • Use lilac or aubergine surfaces to distinguish context from action.

Don't

  • ×Do not turn the kit into a generic admin dashboard.
  • ×Do not use Slack logos, customer marks, proprietary screenshots, or copied copy.
  • ×Do not hide a workflow behind an unlabeled icon-only control.
  • ×Do not let decorative gradients overpower the conversation hierarchy.

Imagery

Use original conversation windows, avatar initials, abstract message blocks, and subtle data shapes. Avoid Slack logos, customer logos, screenshots, and copied campaign assets.

Layout

Use a wide editorial hero, a proof rail, tabbed Knowledge/People/Process/Platform storytelling, then focused cards for search, huddles, workflows, and integrations. Collapse rails to one column below 900px.

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.
