# Retro Computing 8-Bit shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019d9bb7-4530-72b0-83c7-2c2b9edf77f3`
Slug: `retro-computing-8-bit`

## Intent

A retro-computing interface language derived from 8-bit home computers, DOS utilities, ANSI BBS screens, and CGA-era display constraints. It treats the screen as a phosphor grid: every module is snapped to a strict pixel rhythm, surfaces are built from hard-edged tiles, and feedback appears as inverse-video labels, segmented meters, and blinking machine states.

## Required primitives

- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

Install with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.

## Token cues

Colors:

{
  "primary": "#55FF55",
  "secondary": "#5555FF",
  "accent": "#FF55FF",
  "background": "#0A0A0A",
  "surface": "#1B1B1B",
  "text": "#F5F5F5",
  "muted": "#AAAAAA",
  "border": "#E6E6E6",
  "error": "#FF5555",
  "success": "#55FF55",
  "warning": "#FFFF55",
  "info": "#55FFFF"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "Press Start 2P, monospace",
  "body_font": "VT323, monospace",
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono, monospace",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": "1.125",
  "line_height": "1.45",
  "letter_spacing": "0.02em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;700&family=Press+Start+2P&family=VT323&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Every panel uses stacked 1px pixel borders with a bright highlight edge and a dark shadow edge, recreating the embossed window frames of DOS and early desktop utilities.
- Backgrounds rely on repeating scanlines and checker-dither fills so flat colors feel like they are rendered through a low-resolution CRT instead of a modern smooth canvas.
- Typography mixes a bitmap-style display face for headers with dense monospace data text, using uppercase labels, inverse video chips, and tight tracking to simulate machine UI signage.
- Interactive controls are rectangular, low-radius keys with stepped shadows and discrete on/off indicator lamps, never soft pills or floating modern buttons.
- Information is arranged as tiled software windows, utility bars, and instrument bays on an 8px grid, producing the compact rectangular rhythm of file managers and BBS dashboards.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "system",
  "material": "flat",
  "contour": "pebble",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": false,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "dense",
  "accents": [
    "primary",
    "accent",
    "secondary",
    "muted"
  ]
}

## Signature component recipes

### Button
Use `Button` for primary, secondary, outline, and ghost actions. Primary actions must expose the language's strongest contrast pair, while secondary and ghost actions should preserve the surface treatment instead of falling back to default neutral SaaS styling.

### Card
Use `Card`, `CardHeader`, `CardContent`, `CardFooter`, and `CardAction` as the main composition frame. Cards should demonstrate the language's surface, border, hierarchy, and density rules rather than appearing as generic rounded rectangles.

### Input and Textarea
Use `Input` and `Textarea` with visible focus rings, field labels, validation states, and the language's rhythm. Forms should show real product content, not placeholder-only controls.

### Select, Tabs, and Table
Use `Select`, `Tabs`, and `Table` to prove navigation, filtering, and dense data states. The table should show row rhythm, separators, hover/focus states, and an empty or status state when the language calls for it.

### Dialog and Sheet
Use `Dialog` for centered decisions and `Sheet` for contextual editing. Both should inherit the language's spacing, border, overlay, and motion rules.

## Preview shots

- `application-shell`: dashboard or workspace shell with navigation, cards, forms, and state badges.
- `detail-editor`: focused editing flow using input, textarea, select, switch/checkbox, dialog or sheet, and action buttons.
- `data-operations`: table-heavy operational view with tabs, dropdown menu affordances, badges, and destructive/empty states.
- Each preview shot must include a renderable `scene` payload with concrete headline, description, actions, and rows/fields/stats for the UI preview.

## Implementation contract

- Start from local `ui/src/components/ui` shadcn-style primitives; do not create a second component system.
- Apply `/katagami/shadcn/retro-computing-8-bit/registry-theme.json` variables, then use these recipes for composition and state design.
- Preserve Katagami token names as source metadata; shadcn semantic names are only the export surface.
- Do: Use the 16-color inspired palette intentionally, letting green, cyan, magenta, yellow, and red carry operational meaning.; Snap icons, borders, and layout edges to pixel-friendly values so the interface remains crisp.; Prefer framed windows, title bars, meter blocks, and ledger-like data lists over floating cards.; Use bitmap or terminal-informed typography pairings that clearly distinguish headings from data text.; Add scanline, dither, or phosphor texture subtly across large surfaces to keep the scene materially retro.
- Do not: Do not introduce blur, translucent glass, or soft radial lighting.; Do not use oversized rounded corners, pills, or amorphous panels.; Do not rely on smooth modern charts or gradients when segmented blocks can express the same state.; Do not let whitespace become sparse luxury minimalism.; Do not mix photographic hero imagery or glossy 3D illustration into the workstation scene.

## Copy-paste component example

This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.

```tsx

## Layout notes

{
  "grid": "Use a rigid 12-column desktop grid driven by an 8px base unit, with panels snapping to whole-column spans and all internal spacing resolved in multiples of 4px or 8px.",
  "breakpoints": "At tablet widths, collapse the three-zone workstation into two stacked rows while preserving full-width title bars and framed modules; at mobile widths, convert the interface into a single-column stack with touch-friendly controls and horizontally scrollable data tables only where necessary.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace is economical and structural. Gaps separate windows and control groups, but empty space should never overpower the dense workstation character."
