> Design in the spirit of Splunk UI by Splunk — Splunk's React component toolkit and design language for building consistent enterprise data and dashboard interfaces. Character: SOC-floor pragmatism: severity colors that page on-call humans, dense 14px data type, and dashboards meant to run on wall monitors. Use a primary colour near #f38037, the typeface "Splunk Platform Sans / system" (or a close equivalent), corner radius around 3px, a spacing rhythm on a 4px base. Match the intent, not the pixels; adapt it to my product rather than cloning it.
