TERMINAL-CORE(1)        STYLE GUIDE MANUAL        TERMINAL-CORE(1)

NAME
       terminal-core — phosphor-green CRT design system

SYNOPSIS
       terminal-core [--theme dark-phosphor] [--font mono]
                     [--scanlines on] [--crt-curve subtle]

DESCRIPTION
       A design language inspired by 1980s mainframe terminals,
       MS-DOS command prompts, and early Unix systems. Every
       element is rendered in monospace, green-on-black, with
       authentic CRT scan line overlays and phosphor glow.

       Ideal for developer tools, CLI dashboards, hacker
       aesthetics, and products that value raw functionality
       over decorative polish.

OPTIONS
       --bg #071109       Deep black-green background
       --ink #b9ffbe      Phosphor green text
       --line #1e4f22     Dim green borders
       --soft #0f2512     Panel surfaces
       --warn #d4ff5c     Accent / warning yellow-green

Design a landing page in Terminal Core style — CRT-green monospace interface with scanline texture and command-log narrative.

COLOR TOKENS:
--bg: #071109
--panel: #0f2512
--surface: #08120a
--border: #1e4f22
--text: #b9ffbe
--accent-1: #d4ff5c
--bar-bg: #0a190c
Scanline pattern: repeating-linear-gradient(180deg, #061007 0, #061007 2px, #071109 2px, #071109 4px).
No other colors.

TYPOGRAPHY:
Heading: "JetBrains Mono" 800
Body: "JetBrains Mono" 400
Scale: clamp(1.8rem, 5vw, 3.6rem) for h1
Body line-height: 1.7
Heading line-height: 1.05
All text in monospace — no font mixing.

UI:
Terminal frame: border-radius 16px, border 2px solid var(--border), overflow hidden, box-shadow 0 0 0 1px #0a2010 + 0 20px 36px rgba(0,0,0,0.46).
Top bar: bg #0a190c, border-bottom 1px solid var(--border), padding 10px 12px, font-size 0.92rem.
Screen area: bg linear-gradient(180deg, #08120a, #061008), padding clamp(18px, 4vw, 34px).
Command blocks: border-radius 10px, border 1px solid var(--border), bg #0f2512, padding 10px 12px.
Prompt box: border-radius 14px, border 2px solid var(--border), bg #08140a.
Buttons: pill shape (border-radius 999px), border 1px solid var(--accent-1), color #ebffab, bg #1a2d09.

LAYOUT:
Content max-width: min(1040px, 92vw)
Page padding: 26px 0 80px
Screen padding: clamp(18px, 4vw, 34px)
Command grid: single column, gap 8px
Lead max-width: 720px

MOTION:
Entrance: translateY(10px) → 0, opacity 0 → 1, 600ms ease, stagger 80ms per command block
Hover: none specified — keep static, machine-like
Respect prefers-reduced-motion.

RESPONSIVE:
768px: console block font-size reduced, padding shrinks, terminal frame padding adjusts via clamp
1024px: full layout with max-width 1040px, generous screen padding

FORBIDDEN:
- Gradient backgrounds (scanline texture only — repeating-linear-gradient pattern is not a gradient fill)
- Blur or glassmorphism effects
- Sans-serif or serif fonts (monospace only, JetBrains Mono)
- Rounded corners exceeding 16px
- Horizontal scroll at any viewport
- Bright white text (use green spectrum only)

OUTPUT:
1) Color + typography tokens as CSS custom properties
2) Terminal frame / Hero / Features (command blocks) / Logs / CTA structure
3) Semantic HTML + CSS with responsive support
