summary
A dew-fresh interface language for quiet youth products: morning rain seen through clean glass, readable first, with translucent depth and tiny candy-color signals used only where action or attention deserves them.
values
Readability is protected before atmosphere; frosted effects never sit behind primary text without a calm solid tint.Depth replaces decoration: hierarchy comes from blur radius, elevation, and pane overlap rather than many colors or icons.Accents behave like dew drops: small, rounded, optically bright, and rare enough to feel intentional.Youthfulness is expressed through buoyant spacing and softened controls, not toy shapes or childish illustration.The palette stays rain-cooled and misty, with coral and mint used as restrained candy glints rather than a rainbow system.Surfaces feel adaptive and weather-aware, shifting between glass, milk, and wet-edge highlights while maintaining AA contrast.

Primary hierarchy comes from depth: the most important module has the clearest tint, strongest inset highlight, and largest type. Secondary items recede through smaller blur, lower opacity borders, and muted rain-gray text. Candy accents are reserved for current state and the next action so color remains navigational, not decorative.
signature patterns
Rain-thread rails: vertical one-pixel pseudo-element dividers with tiny dew-dot nodes that connect labels without enclosing them in boxes.Milk-glass pane stack: a large frosted white panel overlaps narrow translucent strips, with z-index and blur changes creating surface hierarchy.Candy dew controls: mint or coral circular beads sit inside otherwise neutral pill controls to mark active state, notification, or primary action.Wet-edge inset: every important surface uses paired inset white and blue-gray shadows to create an optical highlight like water on glass.
layout
breakpoints

Mobile at 480px stacks all panes; tablet at 768px uses a two-column split; desktop at 1120px restores overlapping 12-column composition.

density

Low-to-medium density with purposeful pauses; the language favors one readable morning flow over many simultaneous widgets.

grid

Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters; the hero pane spans seven columns and overlaps a four-column side rail.

responsive

On small screens remove overlap, keep the rain-thread rail as a horizontal divider, and preserve touch targets at 44px or larger.

whitespace

Use 4-12px for labels within a control, 24-32px inside panes, 64-112px around major scene areas, satisfying an 8:1 rhythm.

guidance
do
  • Place body text only on sufficiently opaque mist-white panes or plain background to maintain contrast.
  • Use a single dominant glass slab per screen and let supporting strips recede visually.
  • Keep coral and mint accents tiny: status beads, active toggles, and one primary call-to-action only.
  • Use Fraunces for expressive display moments and Commissioner for calm readable UI copy.
  • Create hierarchy with blur, overlap, inset highlights, and spacing before adding color.
  • Let rain-thread rails connect related moments when a divider is needed.
avoid
  • Do not use rainbow palettes, neon glow, loud gradients, or saturated cyan-magenta combinations.
  • Do not build generic SaaS dashboards with three equal cards, charts, and arbitrary metrics.
  • Do not put small muted text directly over busy translucent backgrounds.
  • Do not use childish stickers, toy shadows, or mascot-like decoration to signal youthfulness.
  • Do not apply glass effects to every element; plain mist surfaces are part of the restraint.
  • Do not let borders become solid gray outlines; keep them optical and near-invisible.

# Morning Rain Glass Minimal Youth Interface

## Philosophy

A dew-fresh interface language for quiet youth products: morning rain seen through clean glass, readable first, with translucent depth and tiny candy-color signals used only where action or attention deserves them.

### Values

- Readability is protected before atmosphere; frosted effects never sit behind primary text without a calm solid tint.
- Depth replaces decoration: hierarchy comes from blur radius, elevation, and pane overlap rather than many colors or icons.
- Accents behave like dew drops: small, rounded, optically bright, and rare enough to feel intentional.
- Youthfulness is expressed through buoyant spacing and softened controls, not toy shapes or childish illustration.
- The palette stays rain-cooled and misty, with coral and mint used as restrained candy glints rather than a rainbow system.
- Surfaces feel adaptive and weather-aware, shifting between glass, milk, and wet-edge highlights while maintaining AA contrast.

### Anti-Values

- No rainbow palettes, neon gamer glow, loud gradients, or synthetic hue-wheel triads.
- No cluttered dashboard grids, equal-card catalog layouts, or generic pastel SaaS components.
- No glassmorphism that sacrifices legibility by placing low-contrast text over busy imagery.
- No toy-like stickers, childish mascots, or decorative elements added only to fill whitespace.

### Visual Character

- Layer translucent white panes with backdrop-filter blur, a cool rain-gray tint, and one-pixel rgba white inner borders for glass without hard outlines.
- Use offset pane stacks where one dominant frosted card overlaps smaller mist strips, creating hierarchy through z-index, blur, and elevation instead of equal cards.
- Draw vertical rain-thread dividers as hairline pseudo-elements with low-opacity blue-gray and tiny circular dew nodes at section joints.
- Reserve dew-mint and jelly-coral accents for pill toggles, small status beads, and one primary action, keeping all other UI in mist neutrals.
- Apply optical wet-edge highlights with subtle inset shadows and top-left white sheen so surfaces feel like morning glass, not plastic.

## Layout

### Breakpoints

Mobile at 480px stacks all panes; tablet at 768px uses a two-column split; desktop at 1120px restores overlapping 12-column composition.

### Density

Low-to-medium density with purposeful pauses; the language favors one readable morning flow over many simultaneous widgets.

### Grid

Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters; the hero pane spans seven columns and overlaps a four-column side rail.

### Responsive

On small screens remove overlap, keep the rain-thread rail as a horizontal divider, and preserve touch targets at 44px or larger.

### Whitespace

Use 4-12px for labels within a control, 24-32px inside panes, 64-112px around major scene areas, satisfying an 8:1 rhythm.

## Guidance

### Do

- Place body text only on sufficiently opaque mist-white panes or plain background to maintain contrast.
- Use a single dominant glass slab per screen and let supporting strips recede visually.
- Keep coral and mint accents tiny: status beads, active toggles, and one primary call-to-action only.
- Use Fraunces for expressive display moments and Commissioner for calm readable UI copy.
- Create hierarchy with blur, overlap, inset highlights, and spacing before adding color.
- Let rain-thread rails connect related moments when a divider is needed.

### Don't

- Do not use rainbow palettes, neon glow, loud gradients, or saturated cyan-magenta combinations.
- Do not build generic SaaS dashboards with three equal cards, charts, and arbitrary metrics.
- Do not put small muted text directly over busy translucent backgrounds.
- Do not use childish stickers, toy shadows, or mascot-like decoration to signal youthfulness.
- Do not apply glass effects to every element; plain mist surfaces are part of the restraint.
- Do not let borders become solid gray outlines; keep them optical and near-invisible.

### Accessibility

Maintain WCAG AA text contrast by increasing pane opacity behind text, preserving 44px touch targets, and offering a reduced-transparency mode that replaces blur with solid mist-white surfaces.

### Usage Context

Best for calm youth wellness, study, commute, music, or habit products that need freshness and trust without corporate SaaS weight.

# Morning Rain Glass Minimal Youth Interface

## Overview

A dew-fresh interface language for quiet youth products: morning rain seen through clean glass, readable first, with translucent depth and tiny candy-color signals used only where action or attention deserves them.

### Values

- Readability is protected before atmosphere; frosted effects never sit behind primary text without a calm solid tint.
- Depth replaces decoration: hierarchy comes from blur radius, elevation, and pane overlap rather than many colors or icons.
- Accents behave like dew drops: small, rounded, optically bright, and rare enough to feel intentional.
- Youthfulness is expressed through buoyant spacing and softened controls, not toy shapes or childish illustration.
- The palette stays rain-cooled and misty, with coral and mint used as restrained candy glints rather than a rainbow system.
- Surfaces feel adaptive and weather-aware, shifting between glass, milk, and wet-edge highlights while maintaining AA contrast.

### Anti-Values

- No rainbow palettes, neon gamer glow, loud gradients, or synthetic hue-wheel triads.
- No cluttered dashboard grids, equal-card catalog layouts, or generic pastel SaaS components.
- No glassmorphism that sacrifices legibility by placing low-contrast text over busy imagery.
- No toy-like stickers, childish mascots, or decorative elements added only to fill whitespace.

### Visual Character

- Layer translucent white panes with backdrop-filter blur, a cool rain-gray tint, and one-pixel rgba white inner borders for glass without hard outlines.
- Use offset pane stacks where one dominant frosted card overlaps smaller mist strips, creating hierarchy through z-index, blur, and elevation instead of equal cards.
- Draw vertical rain-thread dividers as hairline pseudo-elements with low-opacity blue-gray and tiny circular dew nodes at section joints.
- Reserve dew-mint and jelly-coral accents for pill toggles, small status beads, and one primary action, keeping all other UI in mist neutrals.
- Apply optical wet-edge highlights with subtle inset shadows and top-left white sheen so surfaces feel like morning glass, not plastic.

### Borders

- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: Borders are mostly rgba(255,255,255,.70) inner glass lines plus rgba(38,58,70,.07) outer definition; accent treatment appears as separate sharp pseudo-element rain threads or full pill fills, never one-sided borders on rounded cards.

## Components

### Composition

Use one dominant translucent product pane offset over a full-bleed rainy-mist background, then support it with two narrower side strips and one compositional break where content crosses the pane boundary. Avoid rows of equal cards; every cluster must have a clear lead element. Align controls to a calm grid but let dew beads and rain threads punctuate edges asymmetrically.

### Density

Airy but useful: tight 4-12px gaps inside related forecast and task clusters, 48-88px between major groups, and no filler modules. Mobile collapses into stacked panes while preserving the dominant glass slab first.

### Hierarchy

Primary hierarchy comes from depth: the most important module has the clearest tint, strongest inset highlight, and largest type. Secondary items recede through smaller blur, lower opacity borders, and muted rain-gray text. Candy accents are reserved for current state and the next action so color remains navigational, not decorative.

### Signature Patterns

- Rain-thread rails: vertical one-pixel pseudo-element dividers with tiny dew-dot nodes that connect labels without enclosing them in boxes.
- Milk-glass pane stack: a large frosted white panel overlaps narrow translucent strips, with z-index and blur changes creating surface hierarchy.

- Wet-edge inset: every important surface uses paired inset white and blue-gray shadows to create an optical highlight like water on glass.

## 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-019e0a7f-1faf-7c21-8bd0-862cd28a04bc/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 Place body text only on sufficiently opaque mist-white panes or plain background to maintain contrast.
- Do Use a single dominant glass slab per screen and let supporting strips recede visually.
- Do Keep coral and mint accents tiny: status beads, active toggles, and one primary call-to-action only.
- Do Use Fraunces for expressive display moments and Commissioner for calm readable UI copy.
- Do Create hierarchy with blur, overlap, inset highlights, and spacing before adding color.
- Do Let rain-thread rails connect related moments when a divider is needed.
- Don't Do not use rainbow palettes, neon glow, loud gradients, or saturated cyan-magenta combinations.
- Don't Do not build generic SaaS dashboards with three equal cards, charts, and arbitrary metrics.
- Don't Do not put small muted text directly over busy translucent backgrounds.
- Don't Do not use childish stickers, toy shadows, or mascot-like decoration to signal youthfulness.
- Don't Do not apply glass effects to every element; plain mist surfaces are part of the restraint.
- Don't Do not let borders become solid gray outlines; keep them optical and near-invisible.

### Accessibility

Maintain WCAG AA text contrast by increasing pane opacity behind text, preserving 44px touch targets, and offering a reduced-transparency mode that replaces blur with solid mist-white surfaces.

# Morning Rain Glass Minimal Youth Interface shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e0a7f-1faf-7c21-8bd0-862cd28a04bc`
Slug: `morning-rain-glass-minimal-youth-interface`

## Intent

A dew-fresh interface language for quiet youth products: morning rain seen through clean glass, readable first, with translucent depth and tiny candy-color signals used only where action or attention deserves them.

## 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": "#ECA49A",
  "background": "#F7FAFB",
  "border": "#DDE7EB",
  "error": "#B86C66",
  "info": "#6D91A6",
  "muted": "#6E808B",
  "primary": "#526A7A",
  "secondary": "#D9F1E9",
  "success": "#6FAE99",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#24313A",
  "warning": "#B79A5C"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Commissioner",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Commissioner:wght@400;500;650;700&family=Fragment+Mono&family=Fraunces:opsz,wght,SOFT,WONK@9..144,500..800,50..100,0..1&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Fraunces",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "line_height": 1.56,
  "mono_font": "Fragment Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Layer translucent white panes with backdrop-filter blur, a cool rain-gray tint, and one-pixel rgba white inner borders for glass without hard outlines.
- Use offset pane stacks where one dominant frosted card overlaps smaller mist strips, creating hierarchy through z-index, blur, and elevation instead of equal cards.
- Draw vertical rain-thread dividers as hairline pseudo-elements with low-opacity blue-gray and tiny circular dew nodes at section joints.
- Reserve dew-mint and jelly-coral accents for pill toggles, small status beads, and one primary action, keeping all other UI in mist neutrals.
- Apply optical wet-edge highlights with subtle inset shadows and top-left white sheen so surfaces feel like morning glass, not plastic.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "system",
  "material": "flat",
  "contour": "pebble",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": 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/morning-rain-glass-minimal-youth-interface/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: Place body text only on sufficiently opaque mist-white panes or plain background to maintain contrast.; Use a single dominant glass slab per screen and let supporting strips recede visually.; Keep coral and mint accents tiny: status beads, active toggles, and one primary call-to-action only.; Use Fraunces for expressive display moments and Commissioner for calm readable UI copy.; Create hierarchy with blur, overlap, inset highlights, and spacing before adding color.; Let rain-thread rails connect related moments when a divider is needed.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow palettes, neon glow, loud gradients, or saturated cyan-magenta combinations.; Do not build generic SaaS dashboards with three equal cards, charts, and arbitrary metrics.; Do not put small muted text directly over busy translucent backgrounds.; Do not use childish stickers, toy shadows, or mascot-like decoration to signal youthfulness.; Do not apply glass effects to every element; plain mist surfaces are part of the restraint.; Do not let borders become solid gray outlines; keep them optical and near-invisible.

## Copy-paste component example

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

## Layout notes

{
  "breakpoints": "Mobile at 480px stacks all panes; tablet at 768px uses a two-column split; desktop at 1120px restores overlapping 12-column composition.",
  "density": "Low-to-medium density with purposeful pauses; the language favors one readable morning flow over many simultaneous widgets.",
  "grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px grid with 24px gutters; the hero pane spans seven columns and overlaps a four-column side rail.",
  "responsive": "On small screens remove overlap, keep the rain-thread rail as a horizontal divider, and preserve touch targets at 44px or larger.",
  "whitespace": "Use 4-12px for labels within a control, 24-32px inside panes, 64-112px around major scene areas, satisfying an 8:1 rhythm."
