• Spacing rhythm: Balanced. Base unit: 0.5rem (8px).
• Section vertical gaps: clamp(4rem, 8vw, 8rem).

6. Motion & Interaction

• Physics: Ease-out curves, 200-300ms duration. Smooth and predictable.
• Entry animations: Fade + translate-Y (16px → 0) over 420ms ease-out. Staggered cascades for lists: 80ms between items.
• Hover states: Subtle color shift + shadow adjustment over 200ms.
• Page transitions: Fade only (200ms).
• Performance: Only transform and opacity animated. No layout-triggering properties.

7. Anti-Patterns (Banned)

• No oversaturated accent colors (saturation cap: 80%)
• No 3-column equal-width feature layouts — use zig-zag or asymmetric grid
• No h-screen — use min-h-[100dvh]
• No AI copywriting clichés: "Elevate", "Seamless", "Unleash", "Next-Gen"
• No broken external image links — use picsum.photos or inline SVG
• No generic lorem ipsum in demos
