# Abstraction Ladder Atlas shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019dde35-27bf-7eb3-8468-a28fb29472f9`
Slug: `abstraction-ladder-atlas`

## Intent

Abstraction Ladder Atlas is a visual language for product illustration systems that can move deliberately from tiny icons to pictograms, spot illustrations, and full hero imagery without changing voice. It treats every graphic as a calibrated specimen on a shared drafting table: neutral foundation, visible registration, disciplined geometry, and semantic accents that become more expressive only when scale allows.

## 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": "#1B1D22",
  "secondary": "#5F636A",
  "accent": "#F26B3A",
  "background": "#F5F0E8",
  "surface": "#FFFBF3",
  "text": "#17191D",
  "muted": "#767069",
  "border": "#C8BDAE",
  "error": "#B3261E",
  "success": "#1F7A4D",
  "warning": "#B46A00",
  "info": "#2764B8"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "Fraunces",
  "body_font": "Atkinson Hyperlegible",
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "base_size": "16px",
  "scale_ratio": 1.28,
  "line_height": 1.52,
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Atkinson+Hyperlegible:wght@400;700&family=Fraunces:opsz,wght,SOFT,WONK@9..144,600..800,0,1&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;600&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Use a four-rung horizontal abstraction ladder with repeating framed cells, each cell increasing detail density from 24px icon to full-width hero panel.
- Apply thin drafting registration lines, corner ticks, and measured baseline rules around cards and imagery instead of conventional soft shadows.
- Build illustrations from flat vector silhouettes, offset duplicate layers, and small semantic accent marks that are positioned on a visible alignment grid.
- Keep the interface on a warm neutral canvas with square-to-small-radius panels, using color only for labeled semantic states and graphic focal points.
- Pair compact grotesque body text with a high-contrast display serif for editorial hierarchy, then use mono labels as measurement annotations.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "pebble",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": true,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "dense",
  "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/abstraction-ladder-atlas/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: Design icons, pictograms, spot art, and hero art as members of the same family before polishing any single asset.; Use registration ticks, grid overlays, and mono labels to make scale and construction visible.; Reserve accent colors for semantic states, selected rungs, and meaningful illustration nodes.; Keep vector shapes flat and legible; add depth through offsets, overlap, and density rather than photoreal shadow.; Test the smallest icon form first, then add information only as the ladder scale increases.; Use accessible contrast for all labels and never place body text on saturated accent fields.
- Do not: Do not introduce a new illustrative style for hero images that cannot simplify back into pictograms.; Do not use rainbow palettes, decorative gradients, or mascot expressions as shortcuts for personality.; Do not hide construction with glassmorphism, blurred depth, or excessive soft shadows.; Do not mix arbitrary radii; use squared technical panels and only small radii for controls.; Do not let metadata overwhelm the specimen; annotations should clarify, not become decoration.; Do not use blocked AI-tell typefaces or generic SaaS dashboard component arrangements.

## Copy-paste component example

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