Trigger.dev — Design System

dark · modern · medium · tailwind · confidence 90% · deep decode

Trigger.dev builds its page like a terminal session: Satoshi at 60px/600 floats over scrolling log output, Geist handles the 18px body, and buttons are zero-radius ghost outlines that could be TUI widgets. Section headings drop to 20px eyebrow scale because the code samples are the real headlines — background jobs marketed in the medium they run in.

Tokens

Trigger.dev's decoded design system: background #121317, text #D7D9DD, accent #16171B, link #5F6570, primary #878C99; type scale h1 60px / h2 20px / body 18px; 4px spacing base; 4px base radius. The single interactive/action color is #16171B — used only on interactive or must-notice elements (buttons, links, key highlights), never on large fills.

# Trigger.dev — Design System

> dark, modern, medium, tailwind — deep decode (measured live)

Trigger.dev builds its page like a terminal session: Satoshi at 60px/600 floats over scrolling log output, Geist handles the 18px body, and buttons are zero-radius ghost outlines that could be TUI widgets. Section headings drop to 20px eyebrow scale because the code samples are the real headlines — background jobs marketed in the medium they run in.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#121317` |
| surface | `#1D1E22` |
| border | `#2F3034` |
| text | `#D7D9DD` |
| text_muted | `#8C8D91` |
| primary | `#878C99` |
| accent | `#16171B` |
| link | `#5F6570` |
| secondary | `#6B7280` |
| button_bg | `#16171B` |
| button_text | `#D7D9DD` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#16171B` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `button_bg` are all `#16171B` — one role, not several (your action color).
- **accent** `#16171B` — THE accent / action color — interactive & must-notice only (buttons, links, focus, one key highlight); never large fills or backgrounds. Scarcity is what makes it read as designed.
- **primary** `#878C99` — a neutral UI color (chips, tags, icon fills, chrome), not the action color (action = #16171B).
- **link** `#5F6570` — reads as a neutral UI color, not a link accent — verify against the reference (action = #16171B).
- **secondary** `#6B7280` — 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.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#121317` 85.9% · `#27282D` 8.4% · `#6F7A6D` 5.7%

## Typography

- Heading: **Satoshi**
- Body: **Geist**
- Mono: **GeistMono-Regular** _(measured)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 60px / 600 · lh 60px |
| h2 | 30px / 600 · lh 36px |
| h3 | 24px / 600 · lh 32px |
| body | 16px / 300 · lh 24px |
| small | 14px / 400 · lh 20px |

- Weight ladder: 300 · 400 · 500 · 600 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

## Spacing
- base unit: 4px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 4px, 6px, 7px, 8px, 12px, 13px, 16px, 21px, 32px, 40px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 4px
- button: 4px
- card: 4px
- pill: 9999px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#3B3E45` / `#E8E9EC` | 1px solid rgb(59, 62, 69) | 6px | 6.56px 13.12px 6.56px 13.12px | 600 13.12px | none |
| secondary | `#121317` / `#B5B8C0` | 1px solid rgb(28, 30, 33) | 4px | 0px 12px 0px 8px | 400 16px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary hover: border `1px solid rgb(95, 101, 112)` · background `#5F6570`
- primary focus: outline `1px auto rgb(16, 16, 16)`
- secondary hover: background `#212327` · color `#D7D9DD`
- transition: `background-color 0.15s ease`

## 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`
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 2, 0.3) 0px 10px 30px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 300ms (dominant) · 150ms · 200ms
- easings: `cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)` (dominant) · `ease`
- animated properties: color, background-color, border-color, text-decoration-color

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

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1224px · common grid: 12-col
- nav: 60px sticky · border-bottom 1px solid rgb(28, 30, 33) · bg #121317

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.cm--box` @0ms → `div.cm--box` @0ms → `div.cm--box` @0ms
- `div` — opacity 1→0 — 750ms ease-out
- overlay dialog (auto-opened): panel #1C1E21 · r 6px · border 1px solid rgb(39, 42, 46) · shadow rgba(0, 0, 2, 0.3) 0px 10px 30px 0px

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

## Components (measured)
- link: #878C99 · no underline — hover #E8E9EC

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 384px · 480px · 540px · 640px · 768px · 802px
- mobile (390px): hero 30px · body 16px · nav: hamburger

## 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.
