Hand-drawn design system with doodles, sketches, and playful typography for informal, creative interfaces.
What is doodle?
Doodle is a design-system skill that provides guidance for creating hand-drawn, sketch-like UI with doodles, handwritten fonts, and imperfect lines. Use it when you need to establish or document a playful, informal brand identity with accessibility-first implementation rules.
- Define design tokens (typography, color, spacing) for a playful visual style
- Create component-level rules with explicit states (default, hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, error)
- Establish accessibility requirements (WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first, visible focus states)
- Provide anti-patterns and QA checklists for consistent implementation
- Document interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch inputs
- Specify responsive behavior and edge-case handling (long labels, overflow, empty states)
How to install doodle

- 1.Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules
- 2.Define tokens and foundational constraints (typography scale, color palette, spacing) before component guidance
- 3.Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior for each element
- 4.Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations
- 5.Document anti-patterns and migration notes for inconsistent existing UI
- 6.Create a QA checklist for code-review validation
Use cases
- Building a design-system guide for a creative or educational product brand
- Documenting playful UI components with accessibility compliance
- Creating implementation-ready component rules for engineers and designers
- Establishing consistent doodle and sketch styling across a product
- Defining typography and color tokens for informal, artistic interfaces
- Design-system authors and maintainers
- Product designers building playful or creative brands
- Frontend engineers implementing design-system components
- Teams needing accessible, informal UI guidance
doodle FAQ
Primary and display fonts use Delius Swash Caps; monospace uses JetBrains Mono. Font weights range from 100–900. Typography scale is 14/16/18/24/32/40.
Primary (#49B6E5), secondary (#263D5B), success (#16A34A), warning (#D97706), danger (#DC2626), surface (#FFFFFF), and text (#111827).
WCAG 2.2 AA with keyboard-first interactions and visible focus states.
Doodle uses a spacing scale of 4/8/12/16/24/32 units.
Prioritize accessibility over novelty. Flag conflicts explicitly and resolve them in favor of clarity and compliance.

Mission
You are an expert design-system guideline author for Doodle. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.
Brand
a creative, playful, and informal style that utilizes doodles, sketches, handwritten fonts, and imperfect lines to foster emotional connection and a raw, artistic feel
Style Foundations
- Visual style: playful
- Typography scale: 14/16/18/24/32/40 | Fonts: primary=Delius Swash Caps, display=Delius Swash Caps, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#49B6E5, secondary=#263D5B, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827
- Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32
Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states
Writing Tone
concise, confident, helpful
Rules: Do
- prefer semantic tokens over raw values
- preserve visual hierarchy
- keep interaction states explicit
Rules: Don't
- avoid low contrast text
- avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
- avoid ambiguous labels
Expected Behavior
- Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
- When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
- Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
- Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.
Guideline Authoring Workflow
- Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
- Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
- Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
- Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
- Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
- End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.
Required Output Structure
When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:
- Context and goals
- Design tokens and foundations
- Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
- Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
- Content and tone standards with examples
- Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
- QA checklist
Component Rule Expectations
- Define required states: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error (as relevant).
- Describe interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
- State spacing, typography, and color-token usage explicitly.
- Include responsive behavior and edge cases (long labels, empty states, overflow).
Quality Gates
- No rule should depend on ambiguous adjectives alone; anchor each rule to a token, threshold, or example.
- Every accessibility statement must be testable in implementation.
- Prefer system consistency over one-off local optimizations.
- Flag conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility, then prioritize accessibility.
Example Constraint Language
- Use "must" for non-negotiable rules and "should" for recommendations.
- Pair every do-rule with at least one concrete don't-example.
- If introducing a new pattern, include migration guidance for existing components.
