Bolt asks 'What will you build today?' in Inter Display at 48px/700 on near-black #171719, with the prompt box as the hero and electric blue #1488FC 6px-radius buttons. Generated app previews tile beneath — prompt-to-app tooling whose typography stays plain because the demo IS the pyrotechnics.

Tokens

Bolt's decoded design system: background #111114, text #ECECEE, accent #2BA6FF, link #2BA6FF, primary #1488FC; type scale h1 48px / h2 30px / body 16px; 4px spacing base; 6px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #1488FC — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

Color roles

Role	Value
bg	`#111114`
surface	`#1E1E21`
border	`#313134`
text	`#ECECEE`
text_muted	`#98989B`
primary	`#1488FC`
accent	`#2BA6FF`
link	`#2BA6FF`
secondary	`#3D1B1E`
button_bg	`#1488FC`
button_text	`#F3F0F5`

Using these colors

Action color #1488FC — the single interactive color; only on things you click or must notice, never large fills.
primary, button_bg are all #1488FC — one role, not several (the action color).
accent, link are all #2BA6FF — one role, not several (the action color).
accent #2BA6FF — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
secondary #3D1B1E — optional secondary accent — LOW decode confidence; use rarely (a status color or a single decorative moment) or omit it entirely. Prefer one accent unless the reference clearly shows two.

# Bolt — Design System

Bolt asks 'What will you build today?' in Inter Display at 48px/700 on near-black #171719, with the prompt box as the hero and electric blue #1488FC 6px-radius buttons. Generated app previews tile beneath — prompt-to-app tooling whose typography stays plain because the demo IS the pyrotechnics.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 2px, 4px, 5px, 6px, 8px, 10px, 12px, 16px, 20px, 24px — snap all gaps/padding to these
- section rhythm: 120px top/bottom padding per section (measured)

## Radius
- base: 6px
- button: 6px
- card: 12px
- pill: 9999px

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: background `#2BA6FF`
- primary focus: outline `2px auto rgb(43, 166, 255)`
- secondary hover: background `#171719`
- transition: `color 0.15s cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- subtle: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0px 0px 0px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05) 0px 1px 2px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 150ms (dominant) · 250ms · 300ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `linear`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, opacity

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.relative`×2 @0ms → `div.relative`×2 @0ms → `div.relative` @0ms

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)

## How to apply
Paste the Tailwind `@theme` (or CSS variables) as your base, then build each
section to its spec — verify every color, radius, and font against these tokens.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
