# Kuangcao Kinetic shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019dacc4-36e3-7832-9761-56b35c4e8d2d`
Slug: `kuangcao-kinetic`

## Intent

Wild cursive calligraphy (kuangcao) energy translated into digital interfaces. The UI becomes a page of passionate calligraphy — dramatic, gestural, asymmetric. Every element carries the kinetic energy of brush meeting paper at speed. Dark and intense, like writing with concentrated ink on dark paper under lamplight. This is calligraphy as performance art, not careful penmanship.

## 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`.

}

## 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/kuangcao-kinetic/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 organic clip-path shapes instead of border-radius for containers; Let brush stroke SVG elements bleed outside their containers for drama; Apply subtle rotation (-0.5 to 0.5deg) to cards and content blocks; Use vermillion red (#d4382a) sparingly for high-impact moments only; Maintain extreme contrast between dark backgrounds and light text; Use Ma Shan Zheng at oversized scales for display headings; Let content flow asymmetrically following top-right to bottom-left energy; Add ink splatter texture patterns to large empty areas; Use fast gestural animations (150-200ms) with ease-out curves; Apply dry brush texture effects on borders and dividers
- Do not: Never center-align layouts symmetrically; Never use border-radius for primary containers; Never use light backgrounds or pastel colors; Never use slow animations over 300ms; Never use perfectly straight horizontal dividers; Never use rounded friendly UI patterns; Never use more than two accent colors in one view; Never make brush stroke elements too small — they must be compositional; Never apply calligraphic font to body text paragraphs; Never use pure white (#fff) — always use the cream (#e8e2d8 or #f0f0ec)
