## 1. What this style is

Note: The effect of Aurora UI largely depends on the fine-tuning of blurriness, color selection, transparency, shape size, and position. Animation is optional but can add dynamism. Please note that this effect may have certain performance requirements.

## 3. Do

- Drive every color, radius and shadow from the tokens below. No literal hex values in component code.
- Reuse the `--card-*` tokens for any elevated surface (card, panel, modal, dropdown) so elevation stays consistent.
- Keep header and footer on `--header-*` / `--footer-*` even when the page background is a gradient.

## 4. Don't

- Do not blend tokens from another style in this library — one page, one token set.
- Do not invent a hover state: every interactive element has a `*-hover-*` token above.

## 5. Using this with a coding agent

Place this file at the project root as `DESIGN.md`, then instruct the agent:

> Follow `DESIGN.md` for all UI. Every color, radius and shadow comes from its token table. If you need a state that is not listed, derive it from the nearest listed token and add the new token to `DESIGN.md` instead of hard-coding a value.

If the project already has a token layer (Tailwind config, CSS custom properties, a theme file), map these tokens onto it one-to-one and keep the names unchanged.

## 6. Original prompt

```text
Create a website header with an Aurora UI background effect. Use soft, blurred, colorful radial gradients positioned off-canvas that subtly animate or shift.
```
