--- version: alpha name: n8n.io description: "Dark-canvas product system built on #0e0918 with #a3a3a3 as the single brand accent. Type anchored in geomanist at 54px / weight 400. Extracted automatically from https://n8n.io/ — rendered styles via getComputedStyle() + CSS custom properties (token-only values may not be painted)." narrative: | n8n.io is built on a near-black canvas (rgb(14, 9, 24)). The system uses rgb(163, 163, 163) as the singular interactive color. Sharp 0px corners on CTAs — architectural restraint, engineering precision alongside geomanist as the primary typeface. A layered elevation system (6 distinct shadows) building a clear front-to-back hierarchy. Motion is a first-class concern — 10 keyframe animations plus transition-driven interactions. colors: canvas: "#0e0918" surface-1: "#0e0918" surface-2: "#1b1728" ink: "#d1cece" ink-muted: "#7a7a7a" ink-subtle: "#9d9797" primary: "#a3a3a3" on-primary: "#111111" primary-hover: "#ff492c" hairline: "rgba(13, 10, 25, 0.28)" primary-focus: "#101010" typography: display-xl: fontFamily: "geomanist, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif" fontSize: 48px fontWeight: 400 lineHeight: 1 letterSpacing: -0.96px display-md: fontFamily: "geomanist, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif" fontSize: 24px fontWeight: 400 lineHeight: 1.2 letterSpacing: -0.48px body: fontFamily: "Open Sans, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif" fontSize: 11px fontWeight: 600 lineHeight: 1.5 letterSpacing: 0 caption: fontFamily: "geomanist, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif" fontSize: 12px fontWeight: 400 lineHeight: 1.7 letterSpacing: 0 button: fontFamily: "geomanist, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif" fontSize: 15px fontWeight: 400 lineHeight: 1 letterSpacing: 0 mono: fontFamily: "Open Sans, 'SF Pro Display', system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, sans-serif" fontSize: 14px fontWeight: 400 lineHeight: 0px letterSpacing: 0 rounded: none: 0px xs: 4px sm: 8px md: 12px lg: 16px xl: 24px pill: 9999px spacing: xxs: 2px xs: 4px sm: 8px md: 12px lg: 24px xl: 32px xxl: 64px components: button-ghost: backgroundColor: "transparent" textColor: "#ffffff" typography: "{typography.button}" rounded: "{rounded.none}" padding: 12px button-ghost-2: backgroundColor: "transparent" textColor: "#ffffff" typography: "{typography.mono}" rounded: "{rounded.sm}" padding: 0px 12px button-secondary: backgroundColor: "{colors.primary}" textColor: "#ffffff" typography: "{typography.mono}" rounded: "{rounded.sm}" padding: 0px 20px navigation-main-nav: backgroundColor: "transparent" typography: "{typography.button}" rounded: "{rounded.none}" padding: 0px 40px testimonial-quote-card: backgroundColor: "transparent" textColor: "{colors.ink}" typography: "{typography.button}" rounded: "{rounded.none}" padding: 64px 0px status-badge-neutral-dark: backgroundColor: "transparent" textColor: "{colors.ink}" typography: "{typography.button}" rounded: "{rounded.xs}" tab-ghost-tab: backgroundColor: "transparent" textColor: "{colors.ink}" typography: "{typography.button}" rounded: "{rounded.none}" padding: 64px 32px extracted_at: "2026-06-11T06:12:58.814Z" completeness: 94 scoreVersion: "v2" --- # Design System — n8n.io > Extracted automatically by Prism from https://n8n.io > Date: 2026-06-11 > Viewport: Desktop 1440x900 + Mobile 390x844 > Values are extracted, not hand-written: rendered styles via getComputedStyle() + colors declared in CSS custom properties (token-only values are marked `(token)` and may not be painted). ## 0.

The canvas is an inky black surface (`#0e0918`) where elevation is communicated through subtle white-opacity gradations rather than traditional shadows — semi-transparent white borders act as the primary depth indicator, like wireframes etched in moonlight. Typography is anchored in **geomanist**. Negative letter-spacing at display sizes (-0.96px at 48px) compresses headlines into engineered blocks, dense and authoritative. Body text reads in Light Grey (`#d1cece`) — slightly under-bright, preventing eye strain on the dark surface. **Grey** (`#a3a3a3`) provides interactive distinction without visual aggression. Elevation is built from multi-layer shadow stacks (6 distinct) — each combines several blurred layers at varying offsets to build a clear front-to-back hierarchy. Motion design uses smooth easing curves for polished state transitions. **Key Characteristics:** - Background: Jet Black (`#0e0918`) - Primary typeface: geomanist - Primary text: Light Grey (`#d1cece`) - Accent: Grey (`#a3a3a3`) - Display: 48px weight 400, letter-spacing -0.96px - Shadow system: 6 distinct elevation levels - Custom fonts loaded: geomanist, geomanist-book ## 2.

If your output's `:hover` state changes properties not listed here, you are off-brand. ## 4c. Component Vocabulary (Closed System) *This brand uses ONLY the following component vocabulary. Introducing new variants without justification breaks the system's tonal coherence.* ### Buttons - **3 shape(s)** in this system: `Ghost`, `Secondary`, `Subtle` - **DO NOT introduce new buttons variants** without justification ### Navigation - **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Main Nav` - **DO NOT introduce new navigation variants** without justification ### Testimonials - **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Quote Card` - **DO NOT introduce new testimonials variants** without justification ### Status Badges - **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Neutral Dark` - **DO NOT introduce new status badges variants** without justification ### Tabs - **1 shape(s)** in this system: `Ghost Tab` - **DO NOT introduce new tabs variants** without justification ## 5. Layout Principles ### Layout Type **top-nav + content** ### Grid Single column, centered content ### Max Width 1200px ### Spacing System Compact spacing — information density prioritized | Token | Value | |-------|-------| | xxs | 2px | | xs | 4px | | sm | 8px | | md | 12px | | base | 16px | | lg | 24px | | xl | 32px | | 2xl | 40px | | 3xl | 64px | ### Border Radius Scale | Name | Value | Use | |------|-------|-----| | None | 0px | No rounding | | Xs | 4px | Tiny corners (badges, micro elements) | | Sm | 8px | Buttons, inputs, small elements | | Md | 12px | Cards, containers | | Lg | 16px | Large rounded elements, pill segments | | Xl | 24px | Category strips, featured containers | | Full | 9999px | Pills, avatars, circular elements | ### Shape Language | Component | Border Radius | |-----------|---------------| | Buttons | `0px` | | Navigation | `none` | | Testimonials | `0px` | | Status Badges | `6px` | | Tabs | `0px` | | Page Body | `0px` | **Shape Personality**: Moderate Rounding — Medium corners (4–12px). Modern SaaS standard, neither sharp nor pill. **Full Radius Spectrum**: 0px, 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px (from `allBorderRadii` scan) ## 5b. Spacing Rhythm Names **Measured section padding**: bands use ~64px internal vertical padding (up to 116px) — **generous**. (Distinct from the gap *between* sections above.) Reproduce this generous vertical breathing room; cramped spacing is the #1 tell of a cheap clone. *Named spacing tokens with explicit use cases. Use these names in YOUR code instead of raw pixels for consistency.* | Name | Value | Use case | |------|-------|----------| | **hero** | `64px` | Top/bottom of full-bleed hero sections | | **section** | `32px` | Between major bands (color change, content shift) | | **subsection** | `24px` | Within a section, between content groups | | **card** | `12px` | Card padding, list-item spacing | | **compact** | `8px` | Form fields, tight clusters, badge padding | | **micro** | `4px` | Icon-text gap, tag inner padding | **Agent rule**: NEVER hardcode raw pixel values for spacing in generated UI. Always reference these named tokens (`spacing-rhythm.section`, etc.). ## 5c.

`rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.23) 0px 4px 16px -8px` | Buttons, pressed-state elements | **Shadow Philosophy**: Multi-layered shadow system creating natural, atmospheric depth. Each shadow level combines multiple layers for realistic elevation. ## 7. Motion & Interaction ### Easing System | CSS Variable | Curve | Semantic Name | |--------------|-------|---------------| | `--ease-in` | `cubic-bezier(.4,0,1,1)` | Custom Ease — Balanced | | `--ease-in-out` | `cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1)` | Ease Out — Decelerating | | `--default-transition-timing-function` | `cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1)` | Ease Out — Decelerating | | `--tw-ease` | `cubic-bezier(.25,.46,.45,.94)` | Custom Ease — Balanced | ### Duration Scale | CSS Variable | Value | Tier | |--------------|-------|------| | `--default-transition-duration` | `.15s` | Fast | | `--tw-duration` | `.2s` | Normal | ### Copy-Paste Transition Snippets **Transform** ```css transition: transform 0.1s, height 0.4s, opacity 0.4s; ``` **Transform** ```css transition: transform 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1), translate 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1), scale 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.4...; ``` **Color / Background** ```css transition: color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94), background-color 0.2s cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.46, 0.45, 0.94), border-c...; ``` **Color / Background** ```css transition: color 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1), background-color 0.3s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1), border-color 0.3s cubic-...; ``` ### Keyframe Animation Catalog | Animation Name | Type | Animated Props | Use Hint | |----------------|------|----------------|----------| | `marquee-796daa67` | Slide | transform | UI transition | | `tooltipFadeIn` | Fade | opacity | Element entrance | | `tooltipFadeOut` | Fade | opacity | Element exit | | `spin` | Rotate / Spin | transform | Loading indicator | | `skeleton` | Slide | transform | Loading placeholder | | `spinny-91b8f811` | Rotate / Spin | transform | Loading indicator | | `mdc-ripple-fg-radius-in` | Scale | animation-timing-function, transform | UI transition | | `mdc-ripple-fg-opacity-in` | Fade | animation-timing-function, opacity | UI transition | | `mdc-ripple-fg-opacity-out` | Fade | animation-timing-function, opacity | UI transition | ### Motion Fingerprint - **Speed Character**: Deliberate & Calm (median duration: `300ms`) - **Dominant Easing**: custom cubic-bezier curves - **Animation Library**: 9 unique animations (10 total including variants) > This design moves with deliberate & calm timing using custom cubic-bezier curves, creating a UI that feels calm and controlled. ## 8. Do's and Don'ts ### Do - Use dark background (`#0e0918`) as the foundation — this is a dark-mode-native design - Use geomanist as the primary typeface — it defines the brand personality - Keep font weights between 300-500 — the system uses a narrow weight range for subtle hierarchy - Use negative letter-spacing (-0.96px) at display sizes for compressed, editorial headlines - Use the extracted shadow patterns for elevation — they are tuned to match the brand palette - Use Grey (`#a3a3a3`) as the primary accent — it's the brand's signature interactive color - Use 8px border-radius on buttons — the standard corner rounding for interactive elements - Maintain nav height at 58px — consistent vertical space for the navigation bar - Respect the 4px–32px spacing range — the design uses a wide scale for visual breathing room - Each card includes a top image — imagery is part of the card identity, not optional - Show person avatars with testimonials — social proof is human-centric here ### Don't - Don't use light backgrounds — the dark canvas is the native medium - Don't substitute with generic sans-serif or serif — the custom font carries the brand - Don't use weight 700 (bold) or above — 500 is the maximum weight in this system - Don't increase letter-spacing on headings — the type is designed to run tight at scale - Don't invent new shadow values — use only the extracted shadow levels - Don't introduce additional saturated accent colors — the palette is intentionally controlled - Don't collapse or hide the nav on scroll without an explicit scroll-triggered animation — the design uses fixed nav presence - Don't make the nav sticky — this design lets it scroll away to maximize content focus ## 7b. Enforceable Brand Rules *Structured Do/Don't with reasoning and validation tests. Agents can programmatically verify generated UI.* ```yaml rules: - id: brand-canvas-001 type: do rule: "Always use the page background `rgb(14, 9, 24)` as the base canvas" why: "Every component is designed to composit against this exact tone" test: "document.body.style.backgroundColor === 'rgb(14, 9, 24)'" - id: brand-accent-001 type: do rule: "Reserve `rgb(163, 163, 163)` for primary CTAs and brand-mark signals only" why: "Single chromatic assertion device — overuse dilutes meaning" test: "querySelectorAll('[style*=\"rgb(163, 163, 163)\"]').length <= 3 per fold" ``` ## 9. Responsive Behavior ### Breakpoints | Name | Width | Key Changes | |------|-------|-------------| | Mobile | 390px | Single column, compact spacing | | Mobile | 440px | Single column, compact spacing | | Mobile Large | 700px | Expanded mobile layout | | Tablet | 1024px | Multi-column grids begin | | Large Desktop | 1440px | Maximum content width | | Ultra-wide | 1920px | Maximum content width | ### Token Diff — Desktop vs Mobile | Element | Property | Desktop | Mobile | |---------|----------|---------|--------| | heading | font-size | `48px` | `32px` | | heading | line-height | `48px` | `32px` | | heading | letter-spacing | `-0.96px` | `-0.64px` | | button | padding | `12px` | `0px` | | button | font-size | `15px` | `14px` | | button | width | `108px` | `32px` | | card | width | `112px` | `96px` | ### Collapsing Strategy - Headlines: 48px → 32px on mobile - Navigation: horizontal links → hamburger menu on mobile - Cards: multi-column → stacked vertical on mobile - Footer: multi-column → stacked single column on mobile ### Touch Targets - Buttons: 12px padding - Navigation: adequate spacing between items - Interactive elements: minimum 44px touch target recommended ### Collapsing Narrative How the structural patterns adapt from desktop to mobile (extracted from both viewport extractions): - **Navigation collapses to hamburger** — 7 links visible on desktop, 2 on mobile (the rest hide behind a menu toggle). - **Nav CTAs reduced** on mobile (1 → 0) — the design prioritizes content over conversion buttons at small sizes. ## 7c. Visual Effects & Dynamic Behavior *The live/dynamic layer beyond static CSS — reproduce these, not flat substitutes. This is often what separates a faithful clone from a wireframe.* - **Glassmorphism** — 5 frosted/blur layer(s) (e.g. `blur(22px)`). - **Mesh gradients** — 5 multi-stop organic color field(s) as background atmosphere. - **Clip-path shapes** — 3 non-rectangular cut(s). - **Blend modes** — 2 mix-blend layer(s). - **Scroll-driven reveals** — content animates in on scroll (CSS scroll-timeline). Build fade/translate reveal-on-scroll for below-fold bands. > **Motion fingerprint**: glassmorphism (6 layers), mesh gradients, non-rectangular shapes (3), blend modes, CSS scroll-driven animations ## 9b. Visual Tone & Photography **Tone:** Mixed photography + illustration A balanced mix of photographic content and vector graphics. Photos likely carry product/lifestyle context while SVG handles icons, logos, and decorative accents. **Canonical Brand Image (OG):** - https://n8niostorageaccount.blob.core.windows.net/n8nio-strapi-blobs-stage/assets/og_image_website_3_afd66761a9.png *This is the image shown when the site is shared on social media — represents the brand visual essence.* **Hero Image (above-fold dominant visual):** - Aspect: 2.64:1 (ultra-wide cinematic) - Rendered size: 1896×719px - Alt text: "Hero image" - *Use this aspect ratio + composition for your clone's hero — mimicking the proportion preserves the visual hierarchy.* **Aspect Ratio Distribution:** - Landscape (1.15–2.3): 3 (50%) - Portrait (<0.87): 0 (0%) - Square (0.87–1.15): 2 (33%) - Ultra-wide (>2.3): 1 (17%) **Media Format Mix:** - WebP: 1 (optimized photo/illustration hybrid) - PNG: 2 (logos, transparent UI elements, mockups) - SVG: 4 (icons, illustrations, decorative geometry) **Average rendered image size:** 777×436px **Above-fold image count:** 3 / 6 **Decorative Patterns Detected:** - 48 multi-stop linear gradients (mesh-like, 3+ color stops) — the brand leans on rich color transitions for visual depth - 38 radial gradients — circular color blooms used for spotlight/glow effects - 1 large decorative SVG shape (≥200×200px, non-icon) — likely blob/illustration accents - **Glassmorphism** detected (`backdrop-filter: blur`) — layered transparent surfaces with blur, modern OS-like aesthetic **Clone instruction for decorative work:** This is a gradient-rich design — invest in multi-stop CSS gradients (3+ color stops), not solid backgrounds. **Imagery Guidance for clones:** - Mix photography and illustration intentionally: photos for product/context, vectors for icons + decorative accents. - Respect the format split — replacing JPGs with illustrations (or vice versa) will shift the brand tone. ## 10. Agent Prompt Guide ### Quick Reference - Background: Jet Black (`#0e0918`) - Primary text: Light Grey (`#d1cece`) - Accent: Grey (`#a3a3a3`) - Border: Translucent Jet Black (28%) (`rgba(13, 10, 25, 0.28)`) - Font: geomanist - Body: 16px weight 400 ### Example Component Prompts - "Create a hero section on Jet Black background (#0e0918). Headline at 48px geomanist weight 400, line-height 1, letter-spacing -0.96px, color #d1cece." - "Create the primary CTA button: `#a3a3a3` background, `#ffffff` text, 9999px border-radius, 12px padding, 600 weight, geomanist font." - "Design a card on `transparent` background. Border: none. Radius: 0px. Shadow: none. Padding: 0px." - "Build navigation: static on `#0e0918`. geomanist 16px weight 400 for links." ### Iteration Guide 1. **Canvas**: Set the dark canvas to Jet Black (`#0e0918`) — every component is composited against this exact base. 2. **Typography**: All type in geomanist, weight range 300–500. Never exceed 500 — heavier weights break the brand's tonal restraint. 3. **Accent**: Grey (`#a3a3a3`) is the sole interactive color. On hover → Vermillion (`#ff492c`). Use CSS transitions, not opacity/brightness filters. 4. **Motion**: All transitions use `cubic-bezier(0.4,0,0.2,1)`. Timing: 150ms for micro-interactions, 200ms for layout changes. Never use linear for UI transitions — preserve the brand's easing personality. 5. **Shape**: CTAs at `0px`, cards at `0px`. Apply border-radius from the extracted scale only — don't invent intermediate values. 6. **Spacing**: Use the `--ca-space-*` token scale (4px–32px). All padding, margin, and gap values are multiples from this scale — no magic numbers. 7. **Tokens**: Import from §11 CSS Export (`--ca-*` vars). Never hardcode hex values — always reference a token so theming remains consistent. ## 11. CSS Design Tokens Raw Export *Copy-paste ready `:root {}` block — all values extracted directly from the live site.* ```css /* Colors */ :root { --ca-surface-1: #0e0918; --ca-surface-2: #1b1728; --ca-ink: #d1cece; --ca-ink-muted: #7a7a7a; --ca-ink-subtle: #9d9797; --ca-primary: #a3a3a3; --ca-on-primary: #111111; --ca-primary-hover: #ff492c; --ca-hairline: #0d0a19; --ca-primary-focus: #101010; } /* Typography */ :root { --ca-font-primary: "geomanist", system-ui, sans-serif; --ca-text-display: 48px; --ca-text-body: 11px; --ca-text-caption: 12px; --ca-text-button: 15px; --ca-text-mono: 14px; } /* Spacing & Radius */ :root { --ca-space-xxs: 2px; --ca-space-xs: 4px; --ca-space-sm: 8px; --ca-space-md: 12px; --ca-space-base: 16px; --ca-space-lg: 24px; --ca-space-xl: 32px; --ca-space-2xl: 40px; --ca-space-3xl: 64px; --ca-radius-none: 0px; --ca-radius-xs: 4px; --ca-radius-sm: 8px; --ca-radius-md: 12px; --ca-radius-lg: 16px; --ca-radius-xl: 24px; --ca-radius-full: 9999px; } /* Motion */ :root { --ca-ease-in: cubic-bezier(.4,0,1,1); --ca-ease-in-out: cubic-bezier(.4,0,.2,1); } ``` ## 13. Page Structure Skeleton *The actual layout the source site uses. Reproduce these sections in order to match the site structure.* ```yaml page-skeleton: - section: hero tag: div height: 8342px width: full-bleed layout: block children: 12 vertical-padding: ~64px (generous) - section: hero tag: section classes: ["w-full", "opacity-0"] height: 719px width: full-bleed layout: block children: 1 - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["mx-auto", "w-full", "max-w-section-wide"] height: 719px width: 1312px layout: block children: 1 - section: navigation tag: div classes: ["bg-shades-midnight-navy", "px-section-gap-x", "md:px-section-gap-x-md", "lg:px-section-gap-x-lg"] height: 719px width: 1312px layout: block children: 2 bg: "rgb(14, 9, 24)" tone: dark vertical-padding: ~116px (airy) padding: "0px 32px" - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["max-w-section-default", "relative", "z-20", "mx-auto"] height: 719px width: 1120px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 2 vertical-padding: ~116px (airy) padding: "192px 0px 40px" - section: header tag: header classes: ["flex", "w-full", "flex-col", "gap-6"] height: 296px width: 500px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 3 - section: section tag: section classes: ["w-full", "px-section-gap-x", "md:px-section-gap-x-md", "lg:px-section-gap-x-lg"] height: 703px width: full-bleed layout: block children: 1 vertical-padding: ~64px (generous) padding: "64px 32px" - section: unknown tag: div classes: ["mx-auto", "w-full", "max-w-section-wide"] height: 575px width: 1312px layout: block children: 1 - section: section tag: section classes: ["w-full", "px-section-gap-x", "md:px-section-gap-x-md", "lg:px-section-gap-x-lg"] height: 239px width: full-bleed layout: block children: 1 vertical-padding: ~64px (generous) padding: "64px 32px" - section: unknown tag: div classes: ["mx-auto", "w-full", "max-w-section-default"] height: 111px width: 1120px layout: block children: 1 - section: unknown tag: div classes: ["section-grid", "flex", "flex-col", "items-center"] height: 111px width: 1120px layout: flex-row justify=center children: 3 - section: feature-section tag: section classes: ["w-full", "py-section-gap-y", "md:py-section-gap-y-md", "lg:py-section-gap-y-lg"] height: 596px width: 1296px layout: block children: 1 vertical-padding: ~64px (generous) padding: "64px 32px" - section: header tag: header classes: ["section-header", "flex", "flex-col", "mb-12"] height: 136px width: 1232px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 2 - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["mx-auto", "w-full", "max-w-section-widest"] height: 468px width: 1232px layout: block children: 4 - section: logo-strip tag: div classes: ["marquee-wrapper", "overflow-hidden"] height: 180px width: 1232px layout: block children: 1 - section: feature-section tag: section classes: ["w-full", "px-section-gap-x", "md:px-section-gap-x-md", "lg:px-section-gap-x-lg"] height: 1076px width: full-bleed layout: block children: 1 vertical-padding: ~64px (generous) padding: "64px 32px" - section: header tag: header classes: ["section-header", "flex", "flex-col", "mb-12"] height: 136px width: 1120px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 2 - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["mx-auto", "w-full", "max-w-section-default"] height: 948px width: 1120px layout: block children: 3 - section: header tag: header classes: ["order-last", "flex", "flex-col", "justify-center"] height: 368px width: 371px layout: flex-column justify=center children: 3 padding: "0px 0px 0px 40px" - section: header tag: header classes: ["mb-12", "flex", "flex-col", "gap-2"] height: 186px width: 286px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 2 - section: feature-section tag: section classes: ["w-full", "px-section-gap-x", "md:px-section-gap-x-md", "lg:px-section-gap-x-lg"] height: 1376px width: full-bleed layout: block children: 1 vertical-padding: ~64px (generous) padding: "64px 32px" - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["mx-auto", "w-full", "max-w-section-wide"] height: 1248px width: 1312px layout: block children: 1 - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["parallax-cards-wrapper", "relative", "flex", "flex-col"] height: 1248px width: 1312px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 2 - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["scrollable-container", "custom-scroll", "custom-scroll-vertical", "overflow-y-auto"] height: 379px width: 559px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 1 padding: "0px 16px 0px 0px" - section: feature-section tag: div classes: ["scrollable-container", "custom-scroll", "custom-scroll-vertical", "overflow-y-auto"] height: 311px width: 559px layout: flex-column justify=normal children: 2 padding: "0px 16px 0px 0px" ``` **Agent rule**: rebuild sections in this order (sorted by vertical position). Match the layout primitive (grid N-col / flex direction / block). ## 14. Copy Library (Real Content from Source) *Actual text content extracted from the live page. Use these strings verbatim when reproducing the site — they carry the brand voice.* ```yaml copy: section-headings: - "AI agents and workflows you can see and control" - "Code when you need it, UI when you don't" - "Move fast. Break nothing." - "Case Studies" - "Simple enough to see. Powerful enough to ship." sub-headings: - "Build complex AI without getting boxed in" - "Runs where you decide" - "Let people and logic guide AI decisions" - "Security and control" - "Developer experience" - "AI governance" ctas: - "Use cases" - "191,871" - "Sign in" - "Get started for free" - "Talk to sales" - "IT Ops can On-board new employees" - "Dev Ops can Convert natural language into API calls" - "Browse all integrations" navigation: - "n8n.io" - "Product" - "Docs" - "191,871" - "Get started for free" - "Explore AI" - "Enterprise" - "Pricing" - "Sign in" - "Get Started" footer-links: - "@igordisco" - "Start building" - "n8n.io" - "Careers Hiring" - "Contact" - "Google Sheets" ``` **Agent rule**: reuse these exact strings when generating UI. Do NOT translate or rephrase — brand voice is preserved through the original wording. ## 15. Asset Inventory (Image Roles & Ratios) *Image inventory classified by role and aspect ratio. When reproducing the site, allocate this number of assets per role.* ```yaml assets: logo: count: 10 avg-ratio: 2.55 common-aspect: "~16:6 banner" hero: count: 1 avg-ratio: 2.64 common-aspect: "~16:6 banner" sample-alts: - "Hero image" thumbnail: count: 36 avg-ratio: 1.00 common-aspect: "~1:1 square" ``` **Agent rule**: when generating placeholder images, match these counts and aspect ratios. Use neutral placeholder backgrounds for `product` (e.g. `#f5f5f5`), full-color photography hints for `hero` and `editorial`. ## 16. Component HTML Templates *Suggested HTML markup for reproducing the key components — based on what was detected in the source DOM.* ### Button (primary action) ```html ``` _Source pattern detected: padding `12px` · radius `0px` · weight `400`_ ### Generic Card ```html
``` _Source pattern detected: padding `0px` · radius `0px` · shadow `none`_ **Agent rule**: use these markup skeletons as the structural baseline. Apply tokens from §2-3 for visual styling. ## 17. Content Architecture & Resources (Links by Purpose) *The page's links classified by purpose — the information architecture to reproduce. Categories, featured images, devices and projects are extracted from the rendered DOM, not guessed.* **By purpose:** **nav** 3 · **cta** 3 · **auth** 1 · **product** 3 · **pricing** 1 · **docs** 1 · **project** 4 · **social** 17 · **legal** 2 · **footer** 21 · **other** 4 **Primary actions (conversion path):** - Primary call-to-action — "Get started for free" (the conversion path) → `https://app.n8n.cloud/register` - Primary call-to-action — "Start building" (the conversion path) → `https://app.n8n.cloud/register` - Account access — "Sign in" (login/signup) → `https://app.n8n.cloud/login` - Primary call-to-action — "Get Started" (the conversion path) → `https://app.n8n.cloud/register` **Projects / case studies detected** (clustered by URL + featured image): *In* — medium confidence, 4 items: | Title | Featured image | Link | |---|---|---| | @Luiza Vidal | `Luiza_Vidal_Icatu_00f78cb493.jpeg` (ar 1) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/luiza-vidal-po/ | | @olliescheers | `Oliver_Zoom_d4152b86d2.PNG` (ar 1) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/olliescheers/ | | @felixleber | `Felix_Leber_f7a5b3c776.jpeg` (ar 1) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/felixleber/ | | @francois-laßl | `Francois_lassl_d5cfb504c7.jpeg` (ar 1) | https://www.linkedin.com/in/francois-la%C3%9Fl-817937243/ | *Case-Studies* — high confidence, 3 items: | Title | Featured image | Link | |---|---|---| | Read Case Study | `Huel_logo_grey_bee3133af2.png` (ar 2.64) | https://n8n.io/case-studies/huel/ | | Read Case Study | `Vodafone_2017_logo_svg_4daa8bbecc.pn` (ar 3.76) | https://n8n.io/case-studies/vodafone/ | | See the case | `Martino_Bonfiglioni_2ac104e00c.jpeg` (ar 1) | https://n8n.io/case-studies/musixmatch/ | *N8n-Io* — medium confidence, 1 items: | Title | Featured image | Link | |---|---|---| | 191,871 | — | https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n | **Signals:** 29/60 links carry a featured image · dominant link roles: footer-link (30), content-card (21), inline-link (4). --- ## Extraction Completeness: 94/100 (A) | Category | Score | Max | Detail | |----------|-------|-----|--------| | Colors & Palette | 25 | 25 | 19 named colors | | Typography | 20 | 20 | 8 roles defined | | Components | 20 | 20 | 5 specs extracted | | Motion & Interaction | 15 | 15 | Keyframes, easing vars | | CSS Custom Properties | 9 | 10 | 179 vars | | Responsive Breakpoints | 5 | 5 | 6 breakpoints | | Variable Fonts | 0 | 5 | None detected | ## 12. Known Gaps & Confidence Explicit list of what this extraction could NOT capture. Agents should not invent values for these — either skip the feature or use the documented baseline + heuristic fallback. *Auto-detected extraction limitations — understand before building:* - **Licensed web fonts (geomanist, geomanist-book)** — detected but not downloaded. Substitute with your licensed copy or a close fallback (see Typography section for metrics). - **1 parasitic shadow(s) detected** — colored box-shadows (not near-black) found in allShadows. These likely originate from browser extensions or third-party injected widgets (e.g. Grammarly, chat overlays), not from the site's own design system. Discard them when building. | Category | What's missing | Fallback strategy | |----------|----------------|-------------------| | **Form inputs** | No text input fields detected on this page | Use the documented border-radius + accent border on focus; 12-16px padding inside | ### Per-section confidence | Section | Confidence | Reason | |---------|------------|--------| | §1 Visual Theme | High | Body bg extracted via getComputedStyle() | | §2 Colors | High | 179 CSS vars (semantic naming requires ≥20 for high) | | §3 Typography | High | 8 typography roles inferred | | §4 Components | High | 5 component variants captured | | §7 Motion | High | Keyframes + transitions | | §8 Do's/Don'ts | High | 19 rules generated; design-decisions.json has evidence per rule | | §9 Responsive | High | 6 breakpoints detected | | §9b Photography | High | 6 images, hero present | ## 11.1 CSS Implementation Guide (CSS Interception Engine v2.15+) *Ready-to-use CSS from Prism's CSS Interception Engine — intercepted directly from the site's CSS files (bypasses CORS).
