# Watercolor-Led Magazine Storytelling shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ddbe3-6fe1-74b3-8840-11c5c51f26cb`
Slug: `watercolor-led-magazine-storytelling`

## Intent

A quiet editorial visual language where transparent watercolor feature art leads the page, supported by restrained typography, paper-like surfaces, atmospheric hand-rendered accents, and generous negative space that lets narrative imagery breathe.

## 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": "#5F7F8F",
  "secondary": "#C98E6A",
  "accent": "#D6B45A",
  "background": "#F7F1E6",
  "surface": "#FFF9EF",
  "text": "#27313A",
  "muted": "#7D7468",
  "border": "#D8C9B5",
  "error": "#A6534E",
  "success": "#6F8B68",
  "warning": "#B8893B",
  "info": "#658BA6"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "Cormorant Garamond",
  "body_font": "Source Sans 3",
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": 1.28,
  "line_height": 1.58,
  "letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant+Garamond:wght@500;600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&family=Source+Sans+3:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Large asymmetric hero panels reserve one side for layered transparent wash blobs, pigment speckles, and drybrush edge masks behind the story title.
- Content sections sit on warm paper surfaces with visible fiber grain created through radial gradients, low-opacity noise overlays, and soft deckled borders.
- Typography pairs a literary serif headline with a neutral editorial sans body, using small caps labels and thin rules instead of heavy contrast.
- Layouts use wide margins, staggered pull quotes, and floated watercolor vignettes so negative space becomes part of the page rhythm.
- Interactive components retain an ink-and-paper feeling through translucent fills, hairline borders, and gentle wash expansion on hover.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "blob",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "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/watercolor-led-magazine-storytelling/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 transparent overlapping washes to frame important story moments.; Keep typography restrained so the illustration remains the emotional lead.; Let paper grain, deckled borders, and pigment speckles appear in multiple components.; Use asymmetry and wide gutters to create magazine page rhythm.
- Do not: Do not use glossy gradients, neon palettes, or dense dashboard chrome.; Do not fill every available area; preserve unpainted paper-like negative space.; Do not pair with aggressive geometric display type that overpowers the art.; Do not make watercolor accents look like generic pastel blobs without paper texture.

## Copy-paste component example

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