Typography Spacing Enforcer

Typography & Spacing Enforcer Skill

This Skill ensures all UI components follow the project's Typography system and modern spacing conventions for consistent design.

When to Activate

• After creating new UI components
• When refactoring existing components
• During code reviews before PR approval
• When migrating legacy code to new standards

What to Check

Typography Violations

Raw HTML Headings:

• ❌ <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>
• ✅ Typography.H1, Typography.H2, Typography.H3, Typography.H4

Raw Paragraph Tags:

• ❌ <p className="text-lg">...</p>
• ✅ Typography.TextLg, Typography.Text, Typography.TextSm

Incorrect Heading Hierarchy:

• Multiple H1 elements on a page
• Skipping heading levels (H1 → H3)
• Using wrong semantic level for content

Missing Semantic Colors:

• Components should use HeroUI semantic colors:
  • text-foreground (primary text)
  • text-default-900 (strong emphasis)
  • text-default-600 (secondary text)
  • text-muted-foreground (metadata)

Spacing Violations

Space-y Utilities (Legacy Pattern):

• ❌ <div className="space-y-4">
• ✅ <div className="flex flex-col gap-4">

Margin-Top on Siblings:

• ❌ <CardComponent className="mt-4" />
• ✅ Parent uses flex flex-col gap-4

Odd Gap Values:

• ❌ gap-1, gap-3, gap-5 (without justification)
• ✅ gap-2, gap-4, gap-6, gap-8

Redundant Height/Width (Tailwind v3.4+):

• ❌ <div className="h-4 w-4"> (equal dimensions)
• ✅ <div className="size-4"> (use size-* utility)
• ⚠️ Exception: Different dimensions still use h-* and w-* (e.g., h-4 w-6)

Exception: mt-* is acceptable ONLY for icon alignment with text (e.g., <Icon className="mt-1" />)

Actions Performed

1. Scan Component Files: Use Grep to find violations
2. Report Violations: List each issue with file:line reference
3. Provide Auto-Fix Suggestions: Show before/after code examples
4. Check Typography Imports: Ensure Typography is imported from @web/components/typography
5. Check Size Utility Usage: Detect h-* w-* patterns with equal values and suggest size-*

Example Output

Typography & Spacing Violations Found:

src/app/(main)/(explore)/coe/components/category-card.tsx:15

✅ <div className="flex flex-col gap-4">

src/app/blog/_components/post-list.tsx:28

Spacing Scale Reference

• gap-2 (0.5rem / 8px) - Small spacing, compact lists
• gap-4 (1rem / 16px) - Standard spacing, most common
• gap-6 (1.5rem / 24px) - Medium spacing, section groups
• gap-8 (2rem / 32px) - Large spacing, major sections

Typography Components Reference

Headings:

• Typography.H1 - Page titles (text-4xl, font-semibold)
• Typography.H2 - Section titles (text-3xl, font-semibold)
• Typography.H3 - Card titles (text-2xl, font-medium)
• Typography.H4 - Nested sections (text-xl, font-medium)

Body Text:

• Typography.TextLg - Lead paragraphs (text-lg)
• Typography.Text - Standard body (text-base)
• Typography.TextSm - Secondary info (text-sm)

UI Labels:

• Typography.Label - Form labels, tabs (font-medium, text-sm)
• Typography.Caption - Metadata, timestamps (text-xs)

Tools Used

• Grep: Search for violation patterns across component files
• Read: Examine specific files for detailed analysis
• Glob: Find all component files in specific directories

Target Directories

• src/app/**/_components/ (co-located components)
• src/components/ (shared components)
• Exclude: src/components/ui/ (shadcn/ui - DO NOT MODIFY)
