# Retro Futurism > "The future as imagined in the 1950s and 60s. Rockets, atoms, and sleek, aerodynamic chrome." ## 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. **Aerodynamic Shapes**: Lots of sweeping curves, teardrop shapes, and swooping lines. Nothing is a perfect square. 2. **Space-Age Motifs**: Stars, atoms, orbits, and fins (like a 1950s Cadillac). 3. **Mid-Century Colors mixed with Chrome**: Classic 50s pastels paired with shiny, reflective metals. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Turquoise (`#40E0D0`), Atomic Tangerine (`#FF9966`), Mint Green (`#98FF98`), paired with Silver/Chrome and deep Space Black. - **Typography**: Googie architecture fonts, bold cursive scripts, or clean mid-century geometric sans-serifs (like `Futura`). - **Styling**: Sleek bezels, dramatic drop shadows, and offset overlapping shapes. ## Web Implementation - **CSS Example**: ```css body { background-color: #FDF5E6; /* Old paper / cream */ color: #2F4F4F; font-family: 'Futura', 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; overflow-x: hidden; } /* Googie-style s

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