Design analysis

A compact dark header establishes the product identity at left and keeps a small set of utility links and a sign-in action at right. Its restrained treatment lets the hero carry the visual weight.

## Before you start
Ask the user what their product is, who it is for, and what brand personality and visual identity they want. Apply the principles below to their product rather than reproducing this reference.

Build a compact, single-row product navigation for a dark developer-tool website.

- Use a near-black background around `#111111`, with a very subtle bottom border around `#242424`.
- Align the content to a centered max-width container; use a small brand mark and wordmark on the left, and compact text links plus one sign-in/account action on the right.
- Keep the header height around 44–56px, with horizontal padding that becomes smaller on mobile.
- Use a neutral sans-serif: 12–13px utility links, medium weight for the account action, and slightly brighter text for the brand.
- Keep inactive links muted around `#858585`; use `#f2f2f2` for the brand and hover states.
- Use generous horizontal spacing, no heavy dropdowns, and a very subtle rounded outline or filled pill for the final action.
- Make navigation links keyboard accessible and collapse into a simple menu on narrow screens.

### Never
- Never use the reference product's logo, name, links, copy, illustrations, or imagery.
- Never make the header visually louder than the hero.
- Never add decorative navigation elements that do not support the user's product.
