cinematic-ui

cinematic-ui is a cursor rule for Cursor from akseolabs-seo/cinematic-ui. It costs 49 tokens per session (634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Cursor rules for designing websites around a specific film or director, using research and planning documents before writing the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for cinematic websites, film-style landing pages, and interfaces based on a director, movie, or genre such as film noir or science fiction.
Why use it?
It prevents a movie-inspired design from becoming a generic landing page or an improvised collection of effects. The required phases turn film observations into a planned page structure and build specification.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cinematic-ui scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cinematic Layout — Cursor Rule

Design the site like a film production, not like a generic landing page.

Core Principle

This is not a style picker. Do not select a visual theme from a menu. This is a reasoning workflow. You must research a real director and a specific film, extract cinematic grammar from that research, and translate it into page structure, composition, and motion.

The film is research input, not a spec sheet. The formal workflow begins when you turn those observations into artifacts.

Four-Phase Workflow (non-negotiable)

Phase 1: DECISIONS  → Complete start questionnaire → decisions.md
Phase 2: STORYBOARD → Site-wide grammar → scene per page → signature composition → storyboard.md
Phase 3: SPEC       → Extract CSS/JS from library entries → compiled-spec.md
Phase 4: BUILD      → Implement from spec only → HTML / CSS / JS

Never skip phases. Never jump from user request to HTML without the artifacts.

Phase 2 Internal Order (non-negotiable)

  1. Site-wide cinematic grammar
  2. Per-page scene thesis
  3. Irreplaceable signature composition per page
  4. Shared system last

Start Questionnaire (run every invocation)

Ask:

  1. How to start: Screenshot / Step-by-step / Surprise me
  2. Image placeholders: Yes / No
  3. Site niche and page list

Key Rules

  • Director + film must drive color, type, spacing, composition, and motion
  • Every page needs one signature composition that cannot collapse into a generic default grid
  • fadeUp / opacity + translateY max 2 times per page
  • At least 4 distinct entrance types per page
  • Maximum 1 heavy interaction per page
  • Grid is invisible alignment infrastructure — never the visible composition
  • Do not expose director names, chapter labels, or workflow metadata in the final UI

Demo Uniqueness Protocol

When the same user has prior outputs in the workspace:

  • Run a uniqueness audit before Phase 1
  • Write a shell-ban list: traits that must not repeat
  • Choose a different primary composition family from the most recent comparable output

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
