# GitHub Primer (GitHub Primer) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.543 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/github-primer
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of GitHub Primer, a style from Platform Screen Languages, 2017–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: developer SaaS and admin tools that must hold many states and actions on one screen, or keeping information density and accessibility consistent across product teams. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- Neutral surfaces with blue links and restrained status colors
- Octicons paired with short action labels
- Thin borders separating lists, tabs and sidebars
- Consistent steps of type and spacing even at high density

Someone who knows this style should be able to point at each of these in the finished image.

## How to build it

- Layout and structure: Separate lists, tabs and sidebars with fine rules and hold spacing to a small token set
- Type and lettering: Use one plain sans for body and labels; build hierarchy through weight and color
- Material and surface: Start from neutrals; reserve blue for links and semantic colors for success, warning and danger
- Colour: #F6F8FA carries the ground, #0969DA is the colour the style is remembered by, #24292F holds text and outlines. Read off real works, so treat them as a direction rather than a fixed palette.
- What it should feel like: technique, trust, calm

## What goes wrong

Adding borders and tiny controls to look like GitHub only creates a cramped admin screen when the work has no clear priority.

## Across the four

Keep every cue above present in all four. Vary the framing, the scale and the arrangement so the set shows the range this style covers rather than four versions of one picture.

## Constraints

- Do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work.
- Do not reproduce the composition of an existing work.
- Produce original compositions in the general period language described above.
