rules
Build pages as layered stencil sheets: a dominant specimen region, narrow annotation rail, and staggered paper cards with purposeful negative-space cuts.
Medium density with generous gutters; cluster details inside framed cutouts instead of spreading equal cards.
Use high-contrast serif headings for artifact names, compact sans body text for instructions, and mono labels for registration data.
layout
mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-980px, desktop >= 981px
Desktop uses a 12-column grid with a 5-column hero specimen, 4-column content stack, and 3-column annotation rail; tablet collapses to two columns; mobile becomes a single paper stack.
Preserve at least 24px gutters on desktop and 16px on mobile; use blank paper margins as part of the identity.
guidance
- Use ivory, indigo, muted fiber gray, and a very small vermilion accent.
- Make stencil craft structural through cuts, crop marks, layered sheets, and registration labels.
- Keep text contrast strong and body text at readable sizes.
- Use asymmetry with one clear focal specimen.
- Disable decorative animation when exporting thumbnails.
- Do not use neon gradients, glass panels, or generic startup dashboards.
- Do not fill the page with floral stencil ornament.
- Do not rely on texture for legibility.
- Do not create rows of equal cards without a dominant composition.
- Do not add extra accent colors beyond the seal red.

# Katagami Minimal Repro
## Overview
A compact quality-review recovery language that turns the paper-cut precision of katagami stencil craft into a restrained interface system: layered ivory surfaces, indigo cut apertures, hairline registration marks, and sparse vermilion seals.
### Values
- cut-paper clarity
- material restraint
- visible registration
- accessible contrast
- quiet asymmetry
### Anti-Values
- generic SaaS gradients
- glassmorphism
- neon cyber styling
- ornamental clutter
- low-contrast paper effects
### Visual Character
- ivory canvas with offset stacked paper panels and subtle fibrous texture
- indigo stencil apertures expressed as masked blocks, not decorative illustrations
- thin registration ticks and crop marks aligned to an 8px grid
- small vermilion seal chips used as the only warm accent
- asymmetric editorial composition with one dominant specimen panel
## 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 | `#B8452E` |
| background | `#F7F0E3` |
| border | `#B7A98E` |
| error | `#9F2D24` |
| info | `#315F86` |
| muted | `#66706A` |
| primary | `#1F3A5F` |
| secondary | `#D9CBB2` |
| success | `#2F6B4F` |
| surface | `#FFF9EC` |
| text | `#1E2528` |
| warning | `#A46A1F` |
## Typography
- **Headline-Lg**: Cormorant Garamond, 1.953rem, weight 700, line-height 1.1.
- **Headline-Md**: Cormorant Garamond, 1.563rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: Inter, 16px, weight 400, line-height 1.55.
- **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`
- **Xl**: `24px`
- **2xl**: `32px`
- **3xl**: `48px`
- **4xl**: `64px`
### Breakpoints
mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-980px, desktop >= 981px
### Grid
Desktop uses a 12-column grid with a 5-column hero specimen, 4-column content stack, and 3-column annotation rail; tablet collapses to two columns; mobile becomes a single paper stack.
### Whitespace
Preserve at least 24px gutters on desktop and 16px on mobile; use blank paper margins as part of the identity.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 26px 70px rgba(31,37,40,.16)
- **Md**: 0 14px 30px rgba(31,37,40,.10)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 0 rgba(31,58,95,.18)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `14px`
- **Md**: `6px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `2px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: subtle registration grid and oversized stencil voids
- **Card Style**: flat paper slabs with hairline borders, offset duplicates, and clipped stencil corners
- **Treatment**: warm washi-like ivory with crisp cut indigo layers
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 3px
- **Character**: hairline indigo or muted fiber edge with occasional crop ticks
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Build pages as layered stencil sheets: a dominant specimen region, narrow annotation rail, and staggered paper cards with purposeful negative-space cuts.
### Density
Medium density with generous gutters; cluster details inside framed cutouts instead of spreading equal cards.
### Hierarchy
Use high-contrast serif headings for artifact names, compact sans body text for instructions, and mono labels for registration data.
### Signature Patterns
- CSS clip-path polygon corners that imply stencil-cut apertures
- offset ::before paper shadows registered 8px down and right
- hairline crop marks drawn with linear-gradients at panel corners
- indigo masked bands crossing behind ivory cards
- single vermilion seal chip anchoring primary actions
## 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-019e04f7-ea18-7061-97b3-5525572112f6/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 ivory, indigo, muted fiber gray, and a very small vermilion accent.
- Do Make stencil craft structural through cuts, crop marks, layered sheets, and registration labels.
- Do Keep text contrast strong and body text at readable sizes.
- Do Use asymmetry with one clear focal specimen.
- Do Disable decorative animation when exporting thumbnails.
- Don't Do not use neon gradients, glass panels, or generic startup dashboards.
- Don't Do not fill the page with floral stencil ornament.
- Don't Do not rely on texture for legibility.
- Don't Do not create rows of equal cards without a dominant composition.
- Don't Do not add extra accent colors beyond the seal red.
### Usage Context
Best for cultural archives, maker documentation, craft-commerce tools, editorial portfolios, museum interactives, and refined knowledge products.

# Katagami Minimal Repro shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e04f7-ea18-7061-97b3-5525572112f6`
Slug: `katagami-minimal-repro`
## Intent
A compact quality-review recovery language that turns the paper-cut precision of katagami stencil craft into a restrained interface system: layered ivory surfaces, indigo cut apertures, hairline registration marks, and sparse vermilion seals.
## 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:
{
"accent": "#B8452E",
"background": "#F7F0E3",
"border": "#B7A98E",
"error": "#9F2D24",
"info": "#315F86",
"muted": "#66706A",
"primary": "#1F3A5F",
"secondary": "#D9CBB2",
"success": "#2F6B4F",
"surface": "#FFF9EC",
"text": "#1E2528",
"warning": "#A46A1F"
}
Typography:
{
"base_size": "16px",
"body_font": "Inter",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Cormorant+Garamond:wght@600;700&family=Inter:wght@400;500;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@500&display=swap",
"heading_font": "Cormorant Garamond",
"letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
"line_height": 1.55,
"mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
"scale_ratio": 1.25
}
## Visual character to preserve
- ivory canvas with offset stacked paper panels and subtle fibrous texture
- indigo stencil apertures expressed as masked blocks, not decorative illustrations
- thin registration ticks and crop marks aligned to an 8px grid
- small vermilion seal chips used as the only warm accent
- asymmetric editorial composition with one dominant specimen panel
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "paper-collage",
"material": "paper",
"contour": "default",
"border": "solid",
"underlay": true,
"grain": true,
"stickerBadges": false,
"motion": "lift",
"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/katagami-minimal-repro/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 ivory, indigo, muted fiber gray, and a very small vermilion accent.; Make stencil craft structural through cuts, crop marks, layered sheets, and registration labels.; Keep text contrast strong and body text at readable sizes.; Use asymmetry with one clear focal specimen.; Disable decorative animation when exporting thumbnails.
- Do not: Do not use neon gradients, glass panels, or generic startup dashboards.; Do not fill the page with floral stencil ornament.; Do not rely on texture for legibility.; Do not create rows of equal cards without a dominant composition.; Do not add extra accent colors beyond the seal red.
## 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 KatagamiMinimalReproShadcnKit() {
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">Katagami Minimal Repro</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.

## Layout notes
{
"breakpoints": "mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-980px, desktop >= 981px",
"grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column grid with a 5-column hero specimen, 4-column content stack, and 3-column annotation rail; tablet collapses to two columns; mobile becomes a single paper stack.",
"whitespace": "Preserve at least 24px gutters on desktop and 16px on mobile; use blank paper margins as part of the identity."
