Style Guardian - Unified Design System Enforcement
Core Principles
Design Philosophy: Flat Design 2.0 + Monochrome System
| Principle | Description | Source | |-----------|-------------|--------| | Minimalism | Clean, uncluttered layouts | Flat Design | | 2D Styling | Simple, flat shapes without 3D effects | Flat Design | | Subtle Shadows | Shadows hint at interactivity (Flat 2.0) | Material Design | | Monochrome | Primarily use different saturations of blue | Project Design Spec | | Three-Color System | Blue (primary) + Green (positive) + Orange (negative) | Project Design Spec |

Spacing System (4dp Grid)
SizedBox Spacing
| Hardcoded | UISpacing | Responsive |
|-----------|-----------|------------|
| SizedBox(height: 4) | SizedBox(height: UISpacing.xxs) | .h suffix |
| SizedBox(height: 8) | SizedBox(height: UISpacing.xs) | .h suffix |
| SizedBox(height: 12) | SizedBox(height: UISpacing.sm) | .h suffix |
| SizedBox(height: 16) | SizedBox(height: UISpacing.md) | .h suffix |
| SizedBox(height: 24) | SizedBox(height: UISpacing.lg) | .h suffix |
| SizedBox(height: 32) | SizedBox(height: UISpacing.xl) | .h suffix |
| SizedBox(width: 8) | SizedBox(width: UISpacing.xs) | .w suffix |
EdgeInsets Padding
| Hardcoded | UISpacing |
|-----------|-----------|
| EdgeInsets.all(4) | EdgeInsets.all(UISpacing.xxs) |
| EdgeInsets.all(8) | EdgeInsets.all(UISpacing.xs) |
| EdgeInsets.all(16) | EdgeInsets.all(UISpacing.md) |
| EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 16) | EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: UISpacing.md) |
| EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: 8) | EdgeInsets.symmetric(vertical: UISpacing.xs) |
Typography System
Font Sizes
| Hardcoded | UIFontSizes | Purpose |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| fontSize: 10 | UIFontSizes.overline | Overline text |
| fontSize: 12 | UIFontSizes.bodySmall | Small body text |
| fontSize: 14 | UIFontSizes.bodyMedium | Standard body text |
| fontSize: 16 | UIFontSizes.bodyLarge | Large body text |
| fontSize: 18 | UIFontSizes.titleMedium | Medium titles |
| fontSize: 20 | UIFontSizes.titleLarge | Large titles |
| fontSize: 24 | UIFontSizes.headline3 | Headlines |
Responsive Font Sizes
Use .rsp suffix for responsive scaling:
// Correct
TextStyle(fontSize: UIFontSizes.bodyMedium) // Already includes .rsp
// Incorrect
TextStyle(fontSize: 14)
TextStyle(fontSize: 14.sp) // Manual scaling
Border Radius System
| Hardcoded | UIBorderRadius |
|-----------|----------------|
| BorderRadius.circular(4) | BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.xs) |
| BorderRadius.circular(8) | BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.sm) |
| BorderRadius.circular(12) | BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.md) |
| BorderRadius.circular(16) | BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.lg) |
| BorderRadius.circular(20) | BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.xl) |
| BorderRadius.circular(999) | BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.circular) |
Internationalization (i18n)
Correct Usage
// Correct - use l10n
Text(context.l10n!.libraryTitle)
Text(context.l10n!.selectedCount(count, total))
Text(context.l10n!.errorMessage)
// Incorrect - hardcoded strings
Text('My Library')
Text('$count items selected')
Text('An error occurred')
Adding New Translation Keys
-
Edit
lib/l10n/app_en.arb:{ "newKey": "New text value", "@newKey": { "description": "Description of the text" } } -
Run
flutter gen-l10n -
Use in code:
Text(context.l10n!.newKey)
Supported Languages
- en (English)
- en_US (English - US)
- zh_TW (Traditional Chinese)
- zh_CN (Simplified Chinese)
- zh (Chinese)
- es (Spanish)
- fr (French)
- hi (Hindi)
- ja (Japanese)
- ko (Korean)
Common Violations and Fixes
Violation 1: Hardcoded Colors
// Violation
Container(color: Colors.blue)
Container(color: Color(0xFF2196F3))
// Fix
Container(color: UIColors.primary)
Violation 2: Hardcoded Spacing
// Violation
SizedBox(height: 16)
Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(8))
// Fix
SizedBox(height: UISpacing.md)
Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.all(UISpacing.xs))
Violation 3: Hardcoded Font Size
// Violation
TextStyle(fontSize: 14)
// Fix
TextStyle(fontSize: UIFontSizes.bodyMedium)
Violation 4: Hardcoded Border Radius
// Violation
BorderRadius.circular(8)
// Fix
BorderRadius.circular(UIBorderRadius.sm)
Violation 5: Hardcoded Text
// Violation
Text('My Library')
AppBar(title: Text('Settings'))
// Fix
Text(context.l10n!.libraryTitle)
AppBar(title: Text(context.l10n!.settingsTitle))
Violation 6: ViewModel Hardcoded User Messages
Scope: lib/presentation/**/viewmodel.dart, lib/presentation/**_viewmodel.dart
Detection Pattern: String literals assigned to error/message state properties
// Violation - Hardcoded user messages in ViewModel
state = state.copyWith(errorMessage: 'Invalid file format');
state = state.copyWith(errorMessage: '網路連線失敗');
_errorMessage = 'Something went wrong';
// Fix - Use i18n or ErrorHandler
state = state.copyWith(errorMessage: context.l10n!.invalidFileFormat);
state = state.copyWith(errorMessage: ErrorHandler.getUserMessage(exception));
Allowed Exceptions:
e.toString()for unknown system exceptions- String interpolation with i18n:
context.l10n!.errorWithCode(code)

Detection Script Usage
Manual Scan
# Scan entire project
uv run .claude/skills/style-guardian/scripts/style_checker.py scan lib/
# Scan specific directory
uv run .claude/skills/style-guardian/scripts/style_checker.py scan lib/presentation/
# Generate report
uv run .claude/skills/style-guardian/scripts/style_checker.py report
Hook Integration
The style checker is integrated into PostEdit Hook:
- Automatically scans edited files in
lib/presentation/ - Reports violations in hook output
- Suggests fixes based on this guide
