# Captioned Clarity shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019dddaf-11d9-76b2-9ba0-99c9e75929e9`
Slug: `captioned-clarity`

## Intent

Captioned Clarity is an accessible editorial-graphics language for product and brand communication where every image behaves like evidence: labelled, high-contrast, and composed to explain one idea quickly. It borrows from public-service diagrams, newspaper explainers, and design-system illustration guidance, favoring purposeful imagery over mood decoration so readers can understand status, sequence, and consequence without decoding style tricks.

## 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": "#0B1B2B",
  "secondary": "#0057D9",
  "accent": "#FFB000",
  "background": "#F6F1E4",
  "surface": "#FFFDF6",
  "text": "#07111C",
  "muted": "#53606B",
  "border": "#07111C",
  "error": "#B42318",
  "success": "#127A3A",
  "warning": "#9A5B00",
  "info": "#0057D9"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "Chivo",
  "body_font": "Noto Sans",
  "mono_font": "Victor Mono",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": 1.25,
  "line_height": 1.55,
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Chivo:wght@500;700;800;900&family=Noto+Sans:wght@400;500;700&family=Victor+Mono:wght@500;700&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- High-contrast cream, ink, blue, and amber blocks with every illustrated panel framed by a 3px black rule and an attached caption strip.
- Editorial figure cards use a two-column explanation grid: left-side annotated graphic primitives, right-side plain-language interpretation and status evidence.
- Graphic objects are built from flat SVG-like CSS shapes, numbered callout dots, connector lines, and label pills rather than decorative characters.
- Section hierarchy relies on compressed uppercase eyebrow labels, large sturdy sans headings, and generous body line-height for comprehension-first scanning.
- Interactive controls and data rows use visible focus outlines, square edges with only 16px large radii, and no decorative shadows beyond offset ink slabs.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "pebble",
  "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/captioned-clarity/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: Write the message in text first, then create a graphic that supports the same message.; Use caption rails, figure numbers, and labels on every editorial graphic.; Keep contrast high between text, fills, rules, and background; test accent text against the surface.; Use blue, amber, green, and red semantically rather than decoratively.; Prefer diagrams, sequences, comparisons, and annotated product states over symbolic scenes.; Repeat the same border widths, callout dots, and label pills across product and marketing contexts.; Provide alt text or adjacent explanatory copy for every informative image.; Use the measurement grid only as a quiet structural cue, not as a busy texture.
- Do not: Do not use unlabeled abstract shapes as the only explanation of a concept.; Do not rely on pale tints, low-contrast captions, or color alone to distinguish states.; Do not introduce mascots, decorative characters, or whimsical scenes when a diagram would be clearer.; Do not mix soft shadows, glass effects, or arbitrary radii with the ink-rule system.; Do not overload one figure with more than four callouts or multiple competing messages.; Do not place important copy inside image assets where it cannot reflow or be read by assistive technology.; Do not use accent yellow behind small body text unless paired with ink text and sufficient padding.

## Copy-paste component example

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