Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Neumorphism (Soft UI) > "Elements extruded from the background material itself, shaped by a singular, persistent light source." ## 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. **Unified Surface Color**: The background and the elements MUST share the exact same base color. 2. **Dual Shadows**: Elements are shaped by two shadows: a light shadow (highlight) on the side facing the light source, and a dark shadow on the opposite side. 3. **No Borders**: The shape is entirely defined by the shadows. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Works best with mid-tone neutrals. **Desert Mirage**, **Earth-Grounded Elegance**, or **Sophisticated Neutral** are perfect. Avoid pure white or pure black (shadows/highlights won't show). - **Typography**: Soft, rounded sans-serifs (e.g., `Nunito`, `Quicksand`). - **Shapes**: Pill shapes, rounded rectangles. Sharp corners break the illusion of extruded material. ## Web Implementation - The magic is entirely in `box-shadow` manipulating light and dark variants of the base color. - **CSS Example**: ```

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