minimalism
Web and App implementation guide for the Minimalism design style. Trigger when the user wants simple layouts, lots of whitespace, few colors, and clear hierarchy.
Profile →npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill minimalism --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Minimalism > "Less is more. Remove until nothing is left but the essential." ## 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. **Extreme Whitespace**: Margins and padding should be double what you initially think is appropriate. 2. **Strict Typography**: Rely on font weights and sizes to establish hierarchy, not colors or boxes. 3. **Absence of Decor**: No borders, no drop shadows, no background textures. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Best paired with **Minimalist Slate** or **Modern Editorial** palettes. Backgrounds must be absolute (pure or off-white/black). - **Typography**: Sans-serif, geometric. (e.g., `Inter`, `Helvetica Neue`, `SF Pro`). Use extreme contrast in weights (Thin vs Black). - **Spacing**: Use a generous baseline grid (e.g., multiples of 8px, heavily favoring 48px to 120px padding). ## Web Implementation - Use Flexbox/Grid with large `gap` properties. - **CSS Example**: ```css .minimal-container { max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 120px 24px; background-color: var(--bg-primary); } .minimal-title

What does the minimalism skill do?
Web and App implementation guide for the Minimalism design style. Trigger when the user wants simple layouts, lots of whitespace, few colors, and clear hierarchy.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill minimalism --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.
