# Synthwave (Outrun) > "Driving a Ferrari through a neon-lit digital grid at midnight." ## 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. **Dark Mode by Default**: Absolute pitch-black or deep purple backgrounds. 2. **Neon Glowing Vectors**: Bright magenta, cyan, and yellow wireframes, text, and grids. Heavy use of `box-shadow` and `text-shadow` for glow effects. 3. **The Perspective Grid**: The defining visual is a glowing grid that fades into a vanishing point on the horizon. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: Deep space backgrounds (`#0B0C10`, `#110022`). Glowing neon accents: Cyan (`#00FFFF`), Hot Pink (`#FF00FF`), Electric Yellow (`#FFFF00`). - **Typography**: 80s chrome text, brush script (like a neon sign), and heavy italicized sans-serifs. - **Shadows**: Drop shadows are not black; they are the same color as the element, heavily blurred, to create light emission. ## Web Implementation - Rely on `text-shadow` for neon signs and 3D transforms for the floor grid. - **CSS Example**: ```css body { background-color: #090014; c

How do I install it?

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.
