# Neumorphic Soft shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019d9bb7-a8b6-7653-8530-51a2d694923a`
Slug: `neumorphic-soft`

## Intent

Neumorphic Soft turns interface chrome into gentle topography: controls feel pressed from a single continuous material, hierarchy emerges through depth shifts instead of hard separators, and interaction is conveyed by light direction, recess, and cushioned edges. It should feel calm, tactile, and low-friction without becoming toy-like.

## 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": "#7f8cff",
  "secondary": "#a5afd6",
  "accent": "#7de3c3",
  "background": "#e7edf5",
  "surface": "#edf2f8",
  "text": "#2b3550",
  "muted": "#7d89a6",
  "border": "#d6deea",
  "error": "#e47b8f",
  "success": "#62c9a7",
  "warning": "#f0b86c",
  "info": "#77b7e8"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "\"Red Hat Display\", sans-serif",
  "body_font": "\"Manrope\", sans-serif",
  "mono_font": "\"IBM Plex Mono\", monospace",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": "1.2",
  "line_height": "1.55",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&family=Manrope:wght@400;500;600;700;800&family=Red+Hat+Display:wght@500;700;800&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- all primary containers are sculpted from a single pale background using paired highlight and shadow layers instead of visible borders
- controls alternate between raised pillows and inset wells to signal clickable versus editable surfaces
- large rounded geometry dominates every region, with pill tabs, capsule buttons, and cards using 20px to 32px radii
- status accents appear as small luminous edge glows or embedded color chips rather than full saturated fills
- section groupings are defined by soft concave trays nested inside a broad padded canvas, creating a molded dashboard look

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "system",
  "material": "flat",
  "contour": "pebble",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": false,
  "grain": false,
  "stickerBadges": true,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "balanced",
  "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/neumorphic-soft/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 tonal contrast and shadow direction consistently from top-left light source.; Place related controls inside shared inset wells to reinforce continuity.; Keep accent colors sparse and purposeful on active or status-bearing elements.; Use large radii and generous padding to preserve the soft tactile identity.; Ensure text contrast stays strong even when surfaces are low-contrast.
- Do not: Do not introduce hard dark borders around standard containers.; Do not flood large panels with saturated accent fills.; Do not mix multiple light directions or inconsistent shadow depths.; Do not compress spacing so tightly that forms lose their cushioned feel.; Do not rely on color alone when depth can communicate state more elegantly.

## Copy-paste component example

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

## Layout notes

{
  "grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column molded dashboard grid with a hero summary band spanning 8/4 columns, a content row of 7/5 columns, and lower utility bands. Tablet landscape reduces to 8 columns, tablet portrait to 4, and phone to a single stack while preserving nested trays.",
  "breakpoints": "At 1024px, the hero band collapses to 8-column proportions and side panels drop beneath primary content. At 768px, all split trays become stacked 4-column groups. At 480px and below, action clusters become full-width vertical pills, data tables scroll horizontally, and modal/dialog surfaces shrink to edge-padded sheets.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace should feel padded and air-cushioned: 24-32px within trays on desktop, 20px on tablet, and 16px on phone. Avoid narrow gutters that would break the single-material illusion."
