Codex Resets

Sticker-sheet neo-brutalism for a tiny operational tracker

01

Visual theme & atmosphere

Warm cream paper, dark cocoa outlines, hard offset shadows, one loud orange, and pastel metric stickers. The system makes status data feel physical and humorous while preserving a strict reading order.

Do's & don'ts

Do

  • Keep the cream-and-cocoa base intact.
  • Use one dominant status figure.
  • Give pastel colors stable metric roles.
  • Keep labels, dates, and axes in mono.

Don't

  • Don't add blurred shadows or glass panels.
  • Don't use Baloo 2 for long body copy.
  • Don't make every surface orange.
  • Don't rotate wrappers or nested text.
08

Responsive behavior

640px

The single compact breakpoint tightens page and card padding, reduces chart cells to 15px, shortens metric labels, stacks section headings, and keeps the three summary tiles visible side by side.

Agent prompt guide

Build a compact operational tracker with warm cream paper (#fff4dd), cocoa ink (#26201a), Baloo 2 display type, system-sans body copy, and mono metadata. Use 2px ink outlines and unblurred 3–6px offset shadows. Make one yellow-highlighted status figure dominant; reserve orange for active events and rose/sky for supporting metrics. Buttons physically depress by translating to their shadow offset. Avoid gradients, glassmorphism, blurred shadows, and extra accent colors.
