rules
Compose pages as a landscape scene first: a wide quiet canvas, one primary pond form, then stepping-stone modules placed along a measured reading path.
Lead with poetic titles and atmospheric summaries, then let small label chips and stone cards reveal detail without breaking the calm field.
Low density. Every cluster must be separated by visible breathing room, and no area should feel fully packed.
layout
A spacious asymmetrical grid with a wide hero panel spanning most columns and smaller stone cards arranged as a stepping path beneath or beside it.
Desktop 1280+, tablet 900-1279, mobile below 900 with pond panels stacked vertically and ornaments repositioned.
Whitespace is treated as raked sand: broad, intentional, and left unfilled around every module.
guidance
- Use large quiet background fields before adding interface objects
- Illustrate flora with thin linework rather than heavy icon blocks
- Keep labels short, quiet, and secondary to atmosphere
- Let seasonal accent colors appear only in one or two strategic places per view
- Turn the page into a component catalog
- Use saturated neon or pure black outlines everywhere
- Fill every empty area with controls or badges
- Introduce aggressive hover jumps or bouncy motion

# Moss Reflection Garden
## Overview
A contemplative interface language that turns application surfaces into quiet illustrated garden scenes. Information sits like placed stones within wide breathing space, while pond forms, moss textures, and inked branches soften the boundary between UI and landscape.
### Values
- calm before efficiency theater
- illustrated atmosphere over sharp utility
- seasonal change as gentle emphasis
- ritual pacing and visual silence
### Anti-Values
- dashboard clutter
- high-contrast techno aggression
- dense labeling
- glossy skeuomorphism
### Visual Character
- broad pond-like color fields with soft inner reflections
- thin ink-line botanical drawings curling around content edges
- stone-framed modules with generous empty margins between them
- restrained caption labels in tiny spaced uppercase text
- single seasonal accent blooms used sparingly against mossy neutrals
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| accent | `#C96E52` |
| background | `#F3F0E7` |
| border | `#78806F` |
| error | `#A14C47` |
| info | `#6B8A96` |
| muted | `#66746A` |
| primary | `#5B6F61` |
| secondary | `#8C8A78` |
| success | `#5D7A5D` |
| surface | `#E2E8DD` |
| text | `#223029` |
| warning | `#B08A47` |

- **Headline-Md**: Zen Old Mincho, 1.44rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: Zen Kaku Gothic New, 16px, weight 400, line-height 1.5.
- **Label-Md**: IBM Plex Mono, 0.75rem, weight 600, line-height 1.
## Layout
### Spacing Tokens
- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `4px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **Lg**: `16px`

### Grid
A spacious asymmetrical grid with a wide hero panel spanning most columns and smaller stone cards arranged as a stepping path beneath or beside it.
### Breakpoints
Desktop 1280+, tablet 900-1279, mobile below 900 with pond panels stacked vertically and ornaments repositioned.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is treated as raked sand: broad, intentional, and left unfilled around every module.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 20px 48px rgba(34,48,41,0.14)
- **Md**: 0 12px 28px rgba(34,48,41,0.10)
- **Sm**: 0 4px 10px rgba(34,48,41,0.06)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `32px`
- **Md**: `24px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `16px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: lines
- **Card Style**: misted watercolor panels with subtle reflection halos
- **Treatment**: paper
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 3px
- **Character**: fine weathered stone outlines with occasional darker ink emphasis
- **Default Width**: 1.5px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Compose pages as a landscape scene first: a wide quiet canvas, one primary pond form, then stepping-stone modules placed along a measured reading path.
### Hierarchy
Lead with poetic titles and atmospheric summaries, then let small label chips and stone cards reveal detail without breaking the calm field.
### Density
Low density. Every cluster must be separated by visible breathing room, and no area should feel fully packed.
### Signature Patterns
- large irregular pond shapes created with layered border-radius values
- content cards connected by stepping-stone circular markers along a horizontal or vertical path
- ink-line branch or reed illustrations drawn with pseudo-elements around major sections
- tiny uppercase tracking-heavy section labels placed above content like garden placards
- seasonal accent dots or leaf shapes that appear only as sparse highlights on key states
## shadcn/ui Usage
When the target app uses shadcn/ui, copy DESIGN.md with shadcn instead of the plain DESIGN.md. It contains the same Katagami design-language source plus the shadcn/ui primitives, imports, theme variables, component recipes, and preview-shot guidance.
DESIGN.md with shadcn: `/language/en-019d9bb9-7a25-78c0-8e6b-122b6438ad78/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.
The shadcn page also exposes optional machine-readable files for automation, but the human-facing handoff is DESIGN.md with shadcn.
Install recommended primitives with `npx shadcn@latest add button card input textarea select dialog sheet tabs badge separator checkbox switch slider tooltip dropdown-menu table`.
Use these primitives in shadcn apps:
- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table
Implementation rule for agents: import shadcn primitives from `@/components/ui/*`, apply the generated CSS variables first, then compose the language-specific recipes from the companion MD. Katagami remains the source of truth; shadcn names are the implementation surface.
## Do's and Don'ts
- Do Use large quiet background fields before adding interface objects
- Do Illustrate flora with thin linework rather than heavy icon blocks
- Do Keep labels short, quiet, and secondary to atmosphere
- Do Let seasonal accent colors appear only in one or two strategic places per view
- Don't Turn the page into a component catalog
- Don't Use saturated neon or pure black outlines everywhere
- Don't Fill every empty area with controls or badges
- Don't Introduce aggressive hover jumps or bouncy motion

# Moss Reflection Garden shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019d9bb9-7a25-78c0-8e6b-122b6438ad78`
Slug: `moss-reflection-garden`
## Intent
A contemplative interface language that turns application surfaces into quiet illustrated garden scenes. Information sits like placed stones within wide breathing space, while pond forms, moss textures, and inked branches soften the boundary between UI and landscape.
## 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`.

## Visual character to preserve
- broad pond-like color fields with soft inner reflections
- thin ink-line botanical drawings curling around content edges
- stone-framed modules with generous empty margins between them
- restrained caption labels in tiny spaced uppercase text
- single seasonal accent blooms used sparingly against mossy neutrals
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "paper-collage",
"material": "paper",
"contour": "blob",

"accents": [

}
## 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/moss-reflection-garden/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 large quiet background fields before adding interface objects; Illustrate flora with thin linework rather than heavy icon blocks; Keep labels short, quiet, and secondary to atmosphere; Let seasonal accent colors appear only in one or two strategic places per view
- Do not: Turn the page into a component catalog; Use saturated neon or pure black outlines everywhere; Fill every empty area with controls or badges; Introduce aggressive hover jumps or bouncy motion
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
```tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardFooter,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card";
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function MossReflectionGardenShadcnKit() {
return (
<section className="grid gap-4 rounded-[var(--radius)] border bg-background p-4 text-foreground">
<div className="flex items-start justify-between gap-4">
<div>
<Badge variant="outline">shadcn/ui</Badge>
<h2 className="mt-3 text-2xl font-semibold tracking-tight">Moss Reflection Garden</h2>
<p className="mt-1 max-w-xl text-sm text-muted-foreground">
Use the Katagami registry theme, then compose these shadcn primitives
with the language-specific component recipes.
