# Flat Design 2.0 (Semi-Flat) > "Flat aesthetics, but with subtle hints of physics to communicate interactability." ## When to Use Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the `design-it` skill and is not meant to be triggered directly. ## Core Principles 1. **Mostly Flat**: The primary aesthetic remains 2D and solid. 2. **Subtle Elevation**: Use extremely soft, large-spread shadows strictly to indicate interactable elements (buttons, floating action buttons) or layers (modals). 3. **Micro-Gradients**: Occasional, barely noticeable linear gradients to prevent large surfaces from feeling dead. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Pairs well with **Warm Tech** or **Earth-Grounded Elegance**. - **Typography**: Clean, readable sans-serifs. - **Shadows**: Shadows must be low opacity, high blur, and usually tinted with the background color, not pure black. ## Web Implementation - **CSS Example**: ```css :root { --shadow-color: rgba(43, 48, 58, 0.08); /* Tinted shadow */ } .flat2-card { background-color: var(--bg-primary); border-radius: 8px; padding: 32px; /* Very subtle, diffuse shadow */ box-shadow: 0 10px 30px var(--shadow-c

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill flat-design-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
