rules
Use asymmetric airy compositions: one dominant reading surface, one narrow utility rail, and small dew-sized metadata clusters. Avoid equal card trios. Let large blank mist fields separate unrelated groups while related controls sit within 4px to 12px clusters.
Low-to-medium density; dense information is confined to a compact rail or list.
Headlines use Fraunces at large optical sizes with -0.04em tracking and 1.08 line-height. Body uses Hanken Grotesk at 16px with -0.02em tracking and 1.56 line-height. Labels are tiny mono/semibold uppercase and never compete with the main task.
layout
Mobile 360-639px, tablet 640-1023px, desktop 1024px+, wide layouts capped at 1180px.
Low-to-medium density chosen to keep translucent materials readable; dense information is confined to a compact rail or list.
Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters: 7 columns for the primary pane, 3 for status rail, and 2 for breathing offsets.
Preserve the dominant task first on small screens, reduce decorative beads when tight, and reduce blur slightly for legibility.
8:1 rhythm: 4px micro gaps, 12px related item gaps, 48px group gaps, 96px section gaps on desktop.
guidance
- Use cool whites, blue-grey text, and only aqua or lychee candy accents in small quantities.
- Keep frosted panels readable with dark text, restrained blur, and visible hierarchy.
- Make one component dominant through scale and whitespace instead of equal cards.
- Use circular dew beads as a named signature on key surfaces, never scattered confetti.
- Test contrast on translucent panels and fall back to more opaque white when content is dense.
- Do not use rainbow spreads, neon glows, loud gradients, or cyan-coral-mint triads.
- Do not create childish candy cues such as gummies, stickers, mascots, confetti, or toy blobs.
- Do not rely on blur to hide clutter.
- Do not use three equal cards in a row or generic SaaS analytics dashboards.
- Do not place low-contrast pastel text over translucent backgrounds.

# Raindrop Gloss Minimalism ## Philosophy Raindrop Gloss Minimalism is a cool, readable interface language for dew-fresh products: mist-white space, restrained frosted acrylic, crisp type, and one or two translucent candy accents that act like water droplets rather than decoration. ### Values - Air before ornament: large fields of cool white and mist neutral space carry the tone before color appears. - Legibility under glass: translucent surfaces are paired with strong text contrast, restrained blur, and clear hierarchy. - Candy as punctuation: aqua and lychee accents appear in small glossy beads, active states, and one focal control only. - Depth by surface physics: elevation comes from inner highlights, transparent rims, and soft contact shadows instead of heavy panels. - Youthful but not toy-like: rounded forms are precise, quiet, and optical, with no stickers, mascots, confetti, or squishy blobs. ### Anti-Values - Rainbow glassmorphism, loud gradients, neon gamer glow, or evenly spaced pastel palettes. - Generic pastel SaaS dashboards with grey borders and repeated equal cards. - Childish candy-shop cues such as gummies, stickers, mascots, confetti, emoji decoration, or saturated bubblegum color. - Opaque clutter hidden behind blur; every frosted panel must remain readable and purposeful. ### Visual Character - Mist-white backgrounds with pale aqua washes below 10% opacity; no rainbow stops. - Frosted acrylic panes using rgba white fills, 10px to 18px backdrop blur, inset white highlights, and near-invisible borders. - Small circular dew beads on key panels and buttons, using aqua or lychee fill with glassy top highlights. - One oversized editorial headline, compact labels, and spacious asymmetric grids instead of repeated equal cards. - Pill controls and rounded-24/32 containers with clipped glossy edge highlights. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 1.5px - **Character**: Near-invisible acrylic rim plus inset white highlight; accent borders only on active/focus states. - **Default Width**: 1px - **Style**: solid ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | accent | `#B8E7E5` | | background | `#F7FAFA` | | border | `#DCE8E8` | | error | `#B85D66` | | info | `#5C8FA8` | | muted | `#667579` | | primary | `#4FAFBC` | | secondary | `#F2A7B8` | | success | `#5D9A7B` | | surface | `#FFFFFF` | | text | `#122023` | | warning | `#B68A4A` | ### Motion - **Duration**: 180ms - **Easing**: cubic-bezier(.2,.8,.2,1) - **Philosophy**: Short surface-settling shimmer: translateY(-2px), bead highlight shift, and shadow deepening only on interactive elements. ### Radii - **Full**: 9999px - **Lg**: 32px - **Md**: 24px - **None**: 0 - **Sm**: 16px ### Shadows - **Lg**: 0 36px 100px rgba(38,94,99,0.16) - **Md**: 0 22px 60px rgba(18,32,35,0.10) - **Sm**: 0 10px 28px rgba(18,32,35,0.06) ### Spacing - **Base**: 8px - **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64,96,128] ### Surfaces - **Bg Pattern**: Static cool white with pale aqua radial washes at 8% opacity and no rainbow color stops. - **Card Style**: Rounded-24 or rounded-32 panes with inset top highlight, soft contact shadow, and one optional dew bead. - **Treatment**: Frosted mist acrylic: rgba(255,255,255,0.68) over cool white with backdrop-filter blur(14px) saturate(1.06). ### Typography - **Base Size**: 16px - **Body Font**: Hanken Grotesk - **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fraunces:opsz,wght,SOFT,WONK@9..144,500..750,35..85,0..1&family=Hanken+Grotesk:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Geist+Mono:wght@500;600&display=swap - **Heading Font**: Fraunces - **Letter Spacing**: -0.02em - **Line Height**: 1.56 - **Mono Font**: Geist Mono - **Scale Ratio**: 1.25 ## Rules ### Composition Use asymmetric airy compositions: one dominant reading surface, one narrow utility rail, and small dew-sized metadata clusters.

# Raindrop Gloss Minimalism
## Overview
Raindrop Gloss Minimalism is a cool, readable interface language for dew-fresh products: mist-white space, restrained frosted acrylic, crisp type, and one or two translucent candy accents that act like water droplets rather than decoration.
### Values
- Air before ornament: large fields of cool white and mist neutral space carry the tone before color appears.
- Legibility under glass: translucent surfaces are paired with strong text contrast, restrained blur, and clear hierarchy.
- Candy as punctuation: aqua and lychee accents appear in small glossy beads, active states, and one focal control only.
- Depth by surface physics: elevation comes from inner highlights, transparent rims, and soft contact shadows instead of heavy panels.
- Youthful but not toy-like: rounded forms are precise, quiet, and optical, with no stickers, mascots, confetti, or squishy blobs.
### Anti-Values
- Rainbow glassmorphism, loud gradients, neon gamer glow, or evenly spaced pastel palettes.
- Generic pastel SaaS dashboards with grey borders and repeated equal cards.
- Childish candy-shop cues such as gummies, stickers, mascots, confetti, emoji decoration, or saturated bubblegum color.
- Opaque clutter hidden behind blur; every frosted panel must remain readable and purposeful.
### Visual Character
- Mist-white backgrounds with pale aqua washes below 10% opacity; no rainbow stops.
- Frosted acrylic panes using rgba white fills, 10px to 18px backdrop blur, inset white highlights, and near-invisible borders.
- Small circular dew beads on key panels and buttons, using aqua or lychee fill with glassy top highlights.
- One oversized editorial headline, compact labels, and spacious asymmetric grids instead of repeated equal cards.
- Pill controls and rounded-24/32 containers with clipped glossy edge highlights.
## Colors

|-------|-------|
| accent | `#B8E7E5` |
| background | `#F7FAFA` |
| border | `#DCE8E8` |
| error | `#B85D66` |
| info | `#5C8FA8` |
| muted | `#667579` |

### Density
Low-to-medium density chosen to keep translucent materials readable; dense information is confined to a compact rail or list.
### Grid
Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters: 7 columns for the primary pane, 3 for status rail, and 2 for breathing offsets.
### Responsive
Preserve the dominant task first on small screens, reduce decorative beads when tight, and reduce blur slightly for legibility.
### Whitespace
8:1 rhythm: 4px micro gaps, 12px related item gaps, 48px group gaps, 96px section gaps on desktop.

## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `32px`
- **Md**: `24px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `16px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: Static cool white with pale aqua radial washes at 8% opacity and no rainbow color stops.
- **Card Style**: Rounded-24 or rounded-32 panes with inset top highlight, soft contact shadow, and one optional dew bead.
- **Treatment**: Frosted mist acrylic: rgba(255,255,255,0.68) over cool white with backdrop-filter blur(14px) saturate(1.06).
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 1.5px
- **Character**: Near-invisible acrylic rim plus inset white highlight; accent borders only on active/focus states.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Use asymmetric airy compositions: one dominant reading surface, one narrow utility rail, and small dew-sized metadata clusters. Avoid equal card trios. Let large blank mist fields separate unrelated groups while related controls sit within 4px to 12px clusters.
### Density
Low-to-medium density; dense information is confined to a compact rail or list.
### Hierarchy
Headlines use Fraunces at large optical sizes with -0.04em tracking and 1.08 line-height. Body uses Hanken Grotesk at 16px with -0.02em tracking and 1.56 line-height. Labels are tiny mono/semibold uppercase and never compete with the main task.
### Signature Patterns
- Dew bead anchors: circular ::after elements attached to pane corners with translucent aqua or lychee fill, inner white glint, and soft refraction shadow.
- Frost rim panes: every major surface combines backdrop blur, rgba white fill, inset top highlight, and a 1px rgba border.
- Liquid pill rail: active filters and primary buttons use elongated pills with a clipped glossy crescent highlight.
- Mist gap hierarchy: controls compress to 4px-12px while primary sections separate by 64px-96px.
- Single-candy rule: each viewport shows one dominant aqua action and at most one lychee secondary signal.
## 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-019e0a5f-5769-7070-8c83-6d658b3af2bc/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 cool whites, blue-grey text, and only aqua or lychee candy accents in small quantities.
- Do Keep frosted panels readable with dark text, restrained blur, and visible hierarchy.
- Do Make one component dominant through scale and whitespace instead of equal cards.
- Do Use circular dew beads as a named signature on key surfaces, never scattered confetti.
- Do Test contrast on translucent panels and fall back to more opaque white when content is dense.
- Don't Do not use rainbow spreads, neon glows, loud gradients, or cyan-coral-mint triads.
- Don't Do not create childish candy cues such as gummies, stickers, mascots, confetti, or toy blobs.
- Don't Do not rely on blur to hide clutter.
- Don't Do not use three equal cards in a row or generic SaaS analytics dashboards.
- Don't Do not place low-contrast pastel text over translucent backgrounds.
### Accessibility
Body text must meet 4.5:1 against effective panel color, large headings meet 3:1, focus states use a visible aqua ring, and backdrop blur never replaces contrast.
### Usage Context
Best for wellness tools, climate notes, beauty formulation, sensory journaling, and calm creator utilities that need freshness, precision, and trust.

# Raindrop Gloss Minimalism shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e0a5f-5769-7070-8c83-6d658b3af2bc`
Slug: `raindrop-gloss-minimalism`
## Intent
Raindrop Gloss Minimalism is a cool, readable interface language for dew-fresh products: mist-white space, restrained frosted acrylic, crisp type, and one or two translucent candy accents that act like water droplets rather than decoration.
## 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

}
## Visual character to preserve
- Mist-white backgrounds with pale aqua washes below 10% opacity; no rainbow stops.
- Frosted acrylic panes using rgba white fills, 10px to 18px backdrop blur, inset white highlights, and near-invisible borders.
- Small circular dew beads on key panels and buttons, using aqua or lychee fill with glassy top highlights.
- One oversized editorial headline, compact labels, and spacious asymmetric grids instead of repeated equal cards.
- Pill controls and rounded-24/32 containers with clipped glossy edge highlights.

}
## 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/raindrop-gloss-minimalism/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 cool whites, blue-grey text, and only aqua or lychee candy accents in small quantities.; Keep frosted panels readable with dark text, restrained blur, and visible hierarchy.; Make one component dominant through scale and whitespace instead of equal cards.; Use circular dew beads as a named signature on key surfaces, never scattered confetti.; Test contrast on translucent panels and fall back to more opaque white when content is dense.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow spreads, neon glows, loud gradients, or cyan-coral-mint triads.; Do not create childish candy cues such as gummies, stickers, mascots, confetti, or toy blobs.; Do not rely on blur to hide clutter.; Do not use three equal cards in a row or generic SaaS analytics dashboards.; Do not place low-contrast pastel text over translucent backgrounds.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
