rules
Build screens as quiet weather instruments, not dashboards: one dominant shell panel carries the task, a narrow rail of mist chips supports it, and a rainline strip breaks the grid horizontally. Use asymmetry, low color count, and broad open margins so translucent surfaces feel intentional instead of layered clutter.
Low-to-medium density with tight 4-12px clusters inside controls and 64-112px gaps between major groups, preserving glanceability and the feeling of clean rain air.
Hierarchy is made by opacity and role before color: solid reading surfaces for instructions, translucent trays for controls, outlined mist chips for metadata, and tiny candy accents for active or urgent states. Display type uses Fraunces softness and tight tracking; body copy uses Afacad with strong contrast.
layout
mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-980px, desktop >= 981px with shell panels stacking before secondary chips on narrow screens.
Airy, low-to-medium density; a specific greenhouse misting workflow is shown with one spacious planning surface and a denser calibration cluster for contrast.
Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with a 7/5 hero split and an inset 3-column calibration cluster; tablet collapses to 6 columns; mobile becomes one column.
Keep the dominant mist-plan shell first, then rainline status, then calibration chips; controls wrap into two-column pills on mobile without equal-card repetition.
Use 88-112px outer section spacing, 48-64px between unrelated panels, and 4-12px between labels and values so proximity creates hierarchy without extra decoration.
guidance
- Keep body text on near-solid or heavily milky surfaces and verify contrast before adding translucency.
- Use no more than two candy accents in one screen, preferably lychee pink for active and yuzu for advisory markers.
- Name container roles explicitly and vary blur, opacity, and outline strength according to reading priority.
- Use rounded 24px shells consistently, with 16px only for compact chips and 9999px for droplets or pills.
- Let rainline separators, gloss bands, and droplet markers carry the signature instead of adding illustrations.
- Maintain generous whitespace around translucent panels so background pattern never competes with content.
- Use focus rings as aqua outlines plus a thin white inset so keyboard navigation is visible on milky surfaces.
- Do not use rainbow refraction, neon cyan, saturated candy gradients, or multi-hue glass panels.
- Do not place small muted text directly on transparent blur over patterned backgrounds.
- Do not create three equal cards in a row; make one panel dominant and vary all supporting modules.
- Do not use pastel SaaS blobs, confetti, emoji, mascot candy shapes, or childish sweetness cues.
- Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text, position, or outline change.
- Do not stack more than two translucent layers over each other or the system becomes foggy rather than clear.
- Do not add heavy shadows, hard gray borders, or dark glass panels that break the clear-rain restraint.

# Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism
## Philosophy
Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism treats interface surfaces like a rain-washed confection wrapper: pale, quiet, mostly opaque, with translucent edges and tiny candy accents used only to orient attention. The language is not glassmorphism spectacle; it is readable functional minimalism where blur, outline, and milky container color create a dew-fresh sense of depth without sacrificing hierarchy.
### Values
- Prioritize legibility over material effect: every translucent panel must carry enough milky fill, contrast, and spacing to read before it feels atmospheric.
- Use restraint as freshness: cool mist neutrals, pale aqua rain tint, and one or two diluted candy accents should feel rinsed, not sugary or childish.
- Make surface roles explicit through blur radius, opacity, outline weight, and inset highlight placement rather than through many colors or heavy shadows.
- Let rounded geometry feel like a thin candy shell: continuous large corners, hairline gloss arcs, and clipped highlight bands define the structural identity.
- Keep compositions airy and glanceable with one dominant action surface, small quiet clusters, and generous pauses between unrelated groups.
- Treat accent color as a droplet marker for priority states, never as decoration spread across every component.
### Anti-Values
- No rainbow translucency, neon glow, loud gradients, or multi-color glass panels that compete with content.
- No generic pastel SaaS dashboard with equal cards, cheerful blobs, emoji decoration, or childish candy-store cues.
- No low-contrast glassmorphism where the background bleeds through text or controls become atmospheric but unusable.
- No cluttered layering, stacked frosted panes, heavy shadows, or decorative depth that hides hierarchy.
### Visual Character
- Use milky semi-opaque containers with backdrop-filter blur, a cool white background wash, and rgba aqua borders no stronger than a hairline outline.
- Add candy-shell edge highlights through ::before pseudo-elements that draw thin top-left gloss bands and clipped translucent corner arcs.
- Reserve lychee pink and yuzu-drop accents for tiny pills, active ticks, progress droplets, and one primary button while the rest stays neutral.
- Create hierarchy with container roles: solid white reading cards, misted translucent control trays, and barely tinted background shelves with distinct blur levels.
- Compose with one dominant rounded shell panel offset against smaller mist chips and a full-width rainline strip so the grid breaks without visual noise.

## Rules
### Composition
Build screens as quiet weather instruments, not dashboards: one dominant shell panel carries the task, a narrow rail of mist chips supports it, and a rainline strip breaks the grid horizontally. Use asymmetry, low color count, and broad open margins so translucent surfaces feel intentional instead of layered clutter.
### Density
Low-to-medium density with tight 4-12px clusters inside controls and 64-112px gaps between major groups, preserving glanceability and the feeling of clean rain air.
### Hierarchy
Hierarchy is made by opacity and role before color: solid reading surfaces for instructions, translucent trays for controls, outlined mist chips for metadata, and tiny candy accents for active or urgent states. Display type uses Fraunces softness and tight tracking; body copy uses Afacad with strong contrast.
### Signature Patterns
- Candy-shell highlight pseudo-elements draw a 1px white gloss band plus a clipped translucent corner arc on every primary rounded container.
- Rainline separators use repeating-linear-gradient vertical strokes that fade at both ends, acting as full-width grid breaks rather than conventional dividers.
- Droplet priority markers are tiny oval pills with lychee or yuzu fill, inset white shine, and text labels beside them so color is never the only cue.
- Surface hierarchy is encoded in CSS utility roles: .solid-read, .mist-tray, .clear-chip, and .aqua-shelf each define different blur, opacity, and border strength.
- Controls use pill-shaped segmented shells where the active segment is a restrained candy accent and inactive segments remain milky with readable dark text.
## Layout
### Breakpoints
mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-980px, desktop >= 981px with shell panels stacking before secondary chips on narrow screens.
### Density
Airy, low-to-medium density; a specific greenhouse misting workflow is shown with one spacious planning surface and a denser calibration cluster for contrast.
### Grid
Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with a 7/5 hero split and an inset 3-column calibration cluster; tablet collapses to 6 columns; mobile becomes one column.
### Responsive
Keep the dominant mist-plan shell first, then rainline status, then calibration chips; controls wrap into two-column pills on mobile without equal-card repetition.
### Whitespace
Use 88-112px outer section spacing, 48-64px between unrelated panels, and 4-12px between labels and values so proximity creates hierarchy without extra decoration.
## Guidance
### Do
- Keep body text on near-solid or heavily milky surfaces and verify contrast before adding translucency.
- Use no more than two candy accents in one screen, preferably lychee pink for active and yuzu for advisory markers.
- Name container roles explicitly and vary blur, opacity, and outline strength according to reading priority.
- Use rounded 24px shells consistently, with 16px only for compact chips and 9999px for droplets or pills.
- Let rainline separators, gloss bands, and droplet markers carry the signature instead of adding illustrations.
- Maintain generous whitespace around translucent panels so background pattern never competes with content.
- Use focus rings as aqua outlines plus a thin white inset so keyboard navigation is visible on milky surfaces.
### Don't
- Do not use rainbow refraction, neon cyan, saturated candy gradients, or multi-hue glass panels.
- Do not place small muted text directly on transparent blur over patterned backgrounds.
- Do not create three equal cards in a row; make one panel dominant and vary all supporting modules.
- Do not use pastel SaaS blobs, confetti, emoji, mascot candy shapes, or childish sweetness cues.
- Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text, position, or outline change.
- Do not stack more than two translucent layers over each other or the system becomes foggy rather than clear.
- Do not add heavy shadows, hard gray borders, or dark glass panels that break the clear-rain restraint.
### Accessibility
Maintain WCAG AA contrast for all functional text, keep core reading surfaces at least 88% white opacity, provide visible aqua focus rings, and supplement all candy accents with text labels or icons.
### Usage Context
Best for wellness instruments, environmental controls, skincare formulation tools, quiet scheduling products, and premium consumer utilities that need freshness without visual noise.

# Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism
## Overview
Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism treats interface surfaces like a rain-washed confection wrapper: pale, quiet, mostly opaque, with translucent edges and tiny candy accents used only to orient attention. The language is not glassmorphism spectacle; it is readable functional minimalism where blur, outline, and milky container color create a dew-fresh sense of depth without sacrificing hierarchy.
### Values
- Prioritize legibility over material effect: every translucent panel must carry enough milky fill, contrast, and spacing to read before it feels atmospheric.
- Use restraint as freshness: cool mist neutrals, pale aqua rain tint, and one or two diluted candy accents should feel rinsed, not sugary or childish.
- Make surface roles explicit through blur radius, opacity, outline weight, and inset highlight placement rather than through many colors or heavy shadows.
- Let rounded geometry feel like a thin candy shell: continuous large corners, hairline gloss arcs, and clipped highlight bands define the structural identity.
- Keep compositions airy and glanceable with one dominant action surface, small quiet clusters, and generous pauses between unrelated groups.
- Treat accent color as a droplet marker for priority states, never as decoration spread across every component.
### Anti-Values
- No rainbow translucency, neon glow, loud gradients, or multi-color glass panels that compete with content.
- No generic pastel SaaS dashboard with equal cards, cheerful blobs, emoji decoration, or childish candy-store cues.
- No low-contrast glassmorphism where the background bleeds through text or controls become atmospheric but unusable.
- No cluttered layering, stacked frosted panes, heavy shadows, or decorative depth that hides hierarchy.
### Visual Character
- Use milky semi-opaque containers with backdrop-filter blur, a cool white background wash, and rgba aqua borders no stronger than a hairline outline.
- Add candy-shell edge highlights through ::before pseudo-elements that draw thin top-left gloss bands and clipped translucent corner arcs.
- Reserve lychee pink and yuzu-drop accents for tiny pills, active ticks, progress droplets, and one primary button while the rest stays neutral.
- Create hierarchy with container roles: solid white reading cards, misted translucent control trays, and barely tinted background shelves with distinct blur levels.
- Compose with one dominant rounded shell panel offset against smaller mist chips and a full-width rainline strip so the grid breaks without visual noise.

- Controls use pill-shaped segmented shells where the active segment is a restrained candy accent and inactive segments remain milky with readable dark text.
## 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-019e0a7a-9d40-7f11-a92e-61cfe95d5a9d/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.

# Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e0a7a-9d40-7f11-a92e-61cfe95d5a9d`
Slug: `clear-rain-candy-shell-minimalism`
## Intent
Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism treats interface surfaces like a rain-washed confection wrapper: pale, quiet, mostly opaque, with translucent edges and tiny candy accents used only to orient attention. The language is not glassmorphism spectacle; it is readable functional minimalism where blur, outline, and milky container color create a dew-fresh sense of depth without sacrificing hierarchy.
## 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`.

## Visual character to preserve
- Use milky semi-opaque containers with backdrop-filter blur, a cool white background wash, and rgba aqua borders no stronger than a hairline outline.
- Add candy-shell edge highlights through ::before pseudo-elements that draw thin top-left gloss bands and clipped translucent corner arcs.
- Reserve lychee pink and yuzu-drop accents for tiny pills, active ticks, progress droplets, and one primary button while the rest stays neutral.
- Create hierarchy with container roles: solid white reading cards, misted translucent control trays, and barely tinted background shelves with distinct blur levels.
- Compose with one dominant rounded shell panel offset against smaller mist chips and a full-width rainline strip so the grid breaks without visual noise.

}
## 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/clear-rain-candy-shell-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: Keep body text on near-solid or heavily milky surfaces and verify contrast before adding translucency.; Use no more than two candy accents in one screen, preferably lychee pink for active and yuzu for advisory markers.; Name container roles explicitly and vary blur, opacity, and outline strength according to reading priority.; Use rounded 24px shells consistently, with 16px only for compact chips and 9999px for droplets or pills.; Let rainline separators, gloss bands, and droplet markers carry the signature instead of adding illustrations.; Maintain generous whitespace around translucent panels so background pattern never competes with content.; Use focus rings as aqua outlines plus a thin white inset so keyboard navigation is visible on milky surfaces.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow refraction, neon cyan, saturated candy gradients, or multi-hue glass panels.; Do not place small muted text directly on transparent blur over patterned backgrounds.; Do not create three equal cards in a row; make one panel dominant and vary all supporting modules.; Do not use pastel SaaS blobs, confetti, emoji, mascot candy shapes, or childish sweetness cues.; Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text, position, or outline change.; Do not stack more than two translucent layers over each other or the system becomes foggy rather than clear.; Do not add heavy shadows, hard gray borders, or dark glass panels that break the clear-rain restraint.

"qualityRules": {
"do": [
"Keep body text on near-solid or heavily milky surfaces and verify contrast before adding translucency.",
"Use no more than two candy accents in one screen, preferably lychee pink for active and yuzu for advisory markers.",
"Name container roles explicitly and vary blur, opacity, and outline strength according to reading priority.",
"Use rounded 24px shells consistently, with 16px only for compact chips and 9999px for droplets or pills.",
"Let rainline separators, gloss bands, and droplet markers carry the signature instead of adding illustrations.",
"Maintain generous whitespace around translucent panels so background pattern never competes with content.",
"Use focus rings as aqua outlines plus a thin white inset so keyboard navigation is visible on milky surfaces."
],
"dont": [
"Do not use rainbow refraction, neon cyan, saturated candy gradients, or multi-hue glass panels.",
"Do not place small muted text directly on transparent blur over patterned backgrounds.",
"Do not create three equal cards in a row; make one panel dominant and vary all supporting modules.",
"Do not use pastel SaaS blobs, confetti, emoji, mascot candy shapes, or childish sweetness cues.",
"Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text, position, or outline change.",
"Do not stack more than two translucent layers over each other or the system becomes foggy rather than clear.",
"Do not add heavy shadows, hard gray borders, or dark glass panels that break the clear-rain restraint."
