# Flat Design > "Digital surfaces should look digital. Embrace the 2D plane." ## 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. **Zero Depth**: Absolutely no drop shadows, bevels, gradients, or 3D effects. Everything sits on the same z-axis. 2. **Sharp & Simple Geometries**: Perfect circles, sharp rectangles. No complex organic shapes. 3. **High Contrast Solid Colors**: Rely on stark contrast between solid blocks of color to delineate space. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Pairs well with **Industrial Chic** or **Modern Editorial**. Avoid gradients entirely. - **Typography**: Strong, highly legible sans-serifs (e.g., `Roboto`, `Open Sans`). Keep it medium to bold. - **Icons**: Solid, monochromatic, glyph-style icons without intricate details. ## Web Implementation - Rely entirely on background colors and borders for structure. - **CSS Example**: ```css .flat-card { background-color: var(--secondary-base); border: 2px solid var(--primary-text); border-radius: 0; /* Sharp corners preferred */ padding: 32px; /* NO box-shadow */

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill flat-design --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.
