# GitLab Pajamas (GitLab Pajamas) — image generation prompt
# IndexStyle No.568 — https://indexstyle.org/styles/gitlab-pajamas
# Style descriptors only. This prompt names no artist, studio, brand or work.

Produce four original images in the visual language of GitLab Pajamas, a style from Platform Screen Languages, 2018–.

## What to make

Make the kind of thing this style exists for: products spanning code through deployment, or reading long identifiers, status, diffs and actions across light and dark themes. Choose one subject and hold it across all four images.

## What has to be visible

- GitLab Sans paired with GitLab Mono for code
- Layered structure built from left navigation and application chrome
- Dense issue, merge-request and pipeline lists
- White or charcoal surfaces with purple as brand focus

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: Keep application chrome stable and open main and supporting panels according to the current work
- Type and lettering: Use GitLab Sans for interface copy and GitLab Mono for branches, commit IDs and code, centered on weights 400 and 600
- Material and surface: Model depth with neutrals, reserve purple for brand affinity, and assign blue, red and green to stable action and status meanings
- Colour: #FBFAFD carries the ground, #7B58CF is the colour the style is remembered by, #18171D 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

Orange and the tanuki do not make a screen Pajamas. Preserve hierarchy when code, status and discussion share the same view.

## 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.
