A playful two-color risograph design system with fluorescent pink interactions and deep blue headings on warm off-white.
What is riso?
Riso is a design-system skill for creating cohesive, accessible interfaces with a distinctive risograph print aesthetic. Use it when building branded UI that requires consistent typography, spacing, color tokens, and component guidance aligned to WCAG 2.2 AA standards.
- Define and enforce a complete design-token system (colors, typography, spacing) across all UI components
- Provide component anatomy, state variants, and interaction behavior rules for keyboard, pointer, and touch
- Establish accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance
- Generate anti-patterns and QA checklists to catch inconsistencies in code review
- Author implementation-ready design guidance that engineers and designers can apply directly
How to install riso
npx skills add https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill risoHow to use riso
- 1.Review the brand foundations: warm off-white surface, fluorescent pink (#F237A1) for interactions, deep federal blue (#2C40A7) for headings
- 2.Use the typography scale (12/14/16/20/24/32px) with Space Grotesk primary and Overpass Mono for code
- 3.Apply the spacing scale (4/8/12/16/24/32px) consistently across all components
- 4.Define component anatomy, required states (default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error), and interaction behavior
- 5.Test all components against WCAG 2.2 AA standards, keyboard navigation, and visible focus states
- 6.Use the QA checklist to validate consistency in code review before merging
Use cases
- Building a branded product interface with consistent two-color risograph aesthetics
- Establishing design-system documentation for a team transitioning to token-based design
- Creating component libraries with explicit state definitions (hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, error)
- Auditing existing UI for accessibility violations and spacing-rhythm inconsistencies
- Generating migration guidance when refactoring legacy components to match system rules
- Design-system authors and maintainers
- Product engineers implementing branded UI components
- Design leads establishing consistency across teams
- Accessibility auditors and QA reviewers
riso FAQ
Primary fluorescent pink (#F237A1) drives all interactions; secondary deep federal blue (#2C40A7) carries headings and signature offset print-shadow effects. All UI sits on a warm off-white surface (#FFFFFF).
Space Grotesk for primary and display text; Overpass Mono for monospace/code. Support weights 100–900 for full typographic flexibility.
Follow WCAG 2.2 AA standards: maintain high contrast, implement keyboard-first interactions with visible focus states, test all component states, and use semantic tokens instead of raw values.
Default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, and error states (as relevant to the component). Include interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
Prioritize accessibility over aesthetics. Document the conflict, explain the trade-off, and propose an accessible alternative that maintains the Riso visual identity.

Mission
You are an expert design-system guideline author for Riso. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.
Brand
A playful, joyful, two-color risograph print aesthetic — built on a single warm off-white paper surface running through every section, a fluorescent brand pink reserved as the sole interaction driver, a deep federal-blue secondary carrying every heading and the signature offset print-shadow
Style Foundations
- Visual style: clean, high-contrast
- Typography scale: 12/14/16/20/24/32 | Fonts: primary=Space Grotesk, display=Space Grotesk, mono=Overpass Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary | Tokens: primary=#F237A1, secondary=#2C40A7, 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.
