What it does

Soft Pastel is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Web and App implementation guide for Soft Pastel Design. Trigger when user wants gentle colors, calming UI, baby/lifestyle branding, or low-contrast aesthetics.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User wants gentle colors
  • Baby/lifestyle branding
  • Low-contrast aesthetics

Example prompts

  • “/soft-pastel”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Desaturated, High-Lightness Colors: Every color is mixed with a heavy amount of white.
  2. Soft, Rounded Edges: Border radii are large and friendly.
  3. Airy Spacing: Generous whitespace prevents the soft colors from feeling muddy or crowded.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are css, swift, dart, javascript and kotlin).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Soft Pastel loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 321 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Soft Pastel Design

"Calm, airy, and gentle. A low-stress interface built on washed-out, cheerful hues."

When to Use

Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the design-it skill and is not meant to be triggered directly.

Core Principles

  1. Desaturated, High-Lightness Colors: Every color is mixed with a heavy amount of white.
  2. Soft, Rounded Edges: Border radii are large and friendly.
  3. Airy Spacing: Generous whitespace prevents the soft colors from feeling muddy or crowded.

Visual DNA

  • Colors: Mint green, baby blue, blush pink, lavender, and buttercream yellow. Use a warm, slightly off-white background (e.g., #FFFBF7) rather than clinical #FFFFFF.
  • Typography: Soft, rounded sans-serifs (Quicksand, Nunito) or elegant, low-contrast serifs. Avoid aggressive, ultra-bold fonts.
  • Shadows: Very soft, large-spread shadows, often tinted with the pastel color rather than black.

Web Implementation

  • CSS Example:
css
:root {
  --pastel-bg: #FFFBF7;
  --pastel-pink: #FFD1DC;
  --pastel-blue: #AEC6CF;
  --pastel-green: #B7E4C7;
  --pastel-text: #4A4A4A; /* Soft dark grey, NOT pure black */
}

body {
  background-color: var(--pastel-bg);
  color: var(--pastel-text);
  font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif;
  line-height: 1.6;
}

.pastel-card {
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-radius: 24px;
  padding: 40px;
  /* Tinted, very soft shadow */
  box-shadow: 0 20px 40px rgba(174, 198, 207, 0.15); 
}

.pastel-pill {
  background-color: var(--pastel-pink);
  color: #a05a6c; /* Darker version of the pink for contrast */
  border-radius: 50px;
  padding: 8px 24px;
  font-weight: 700;
  display: inline-block;
}

.pastel-btn {
  background-color: var(--pastel-blue);
  color: #2b5563; /* Darker text */
  border: none;
  border-radius: 12px;
  padding: 16px 32px;
  transition: transform 0.2s;
}
.pastel-btn:hover {
  transform: translateY(-2px);
  box-shadow: 0 10px 20px rgba(174, 198, 207, 0.4);
}

App Implementation

SwiftUI
swift
struct SoftPastelView: View {
    // Pastel Palette
    let bg = Color(hex: "FFFBF7")
    let pink = Color(hex: "FFD1DC")
    let blue = Color(hex: "AEC6CF")
    let textDark = Color(hex: "4A4A4A")
    
    var body: some View {
        ScrollView {
            VStack(spacing: 32) {
                // Pastel Card
                VStack(alignment: .leading, spacing: 16) {
                    Text("Calm & Airy")
                        .font(.custom("Nunito-Bold", size: 28))
                        .foregroundColor(textDark)
                    
                    Text("Generous whitespace and soft corners prevent the desaturated colors from feeling muddy.")
                        .font(.custom("Nunito-Regular", size: 16))
                        .foregroundColor(textDark.opacity(0.8))
                        .lineSpacing(6)
                }
                .padding(40)
                .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, alignment: .leading)
                .background(Color.white)
                .cornerRadius(32) // Soft, large radius
                // Tinted pastel shadow instead of black/gray
                .shadow(color: blue.opacity(0.2), radius: 30, y: 15)
                
                // Pastel Button
                Button(action: {}) {
                    Text("Gentle Action")
                        .font(.custom("Nunito-Bold", size: 18))
                        .foregroundColor(Color(hex: "2B5563")) // Darker contrast of the blue
                        .frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
                        .padding(.vertical, 20)
                        .background(blue)
                        .cornerRadius(20)
                }
            }
            .padding(24)
        }
        .background(bg.ignoresSafeArea())
    }
}
  • A custom font like Nunito or Quicksand is practically required. System fonts are often too rigid.
  • The shadow(color:) must be tinted with one of your pastel palette colors, never black or gray.
  • Corner radii should be very large (20-32).

  • Disable elevation on Flutter buttons and cards if you want to apply custom tinted drop shadows. Default elevations cast black shadows.
React Native
jsx

    bg: '#FFFBF7',
    blue: '#AEC6CF',
    textDark: '#4A4A4A'

  • Make sure you are using a soft, non-pure-white background (#FFFBF7) so that pure #FFFFFF cards pop nicely against it without harsh borders.
  • Tinted shadows work on Android 9+ via shadowColor combined with elevation.

  • The shadow modifier in Compose takes ambientColor and spotColor. Set both to your pastel accent color to achieve the soft tinted glow.

Do's and Don'ts

  • DO: Use illustrative assets that match the pastel vibe (flat vectors, soft gradients).
  • DON'T: Use stark black borders, sharp corners, or high-saturation primary colors.

Limitations

  • This is a styling reference and does not replace environment-specific validation, accessibility testing, or expert review.
  • Ensure appropriate contrast ratios and responsive behaviors are verified separately.
