summary
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 while preserving readable hierarchy.
values
Legibility comes before material effects; translucent panels must use milky fill, strong text, and sufficient spacing.Restraint creates freshness through cool mist neutrals, pale aqua rain tint, and one or two diluted candy accents.Surface roles are explicit through blur, opacity, outline weight, and inset highlights rather than many colors.Rounded geometry should feel like a thin candy shell with continuous corners, hairline gloss arcs, and clipped highlight bands.
anti-values
×No rainbow translucency, neon glow, loud gradients, or multi-color glass competing with content.×No generic pastel SaaS dashboard, cheerful blobs, emoji decoration, or childish candy-store cues.×No low-contrast glassmorphism where background pattern bleeds through small text.

avoid
  • 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 supporting modules.
  • Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text.
  • Do not mix 24px and 32px container radii; large shells stay at 24px for a deliberate candy-shell commitment.
  • Do not use hard gray borders where condensation-like rgba aqua or ink hairlines are expected.

# 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 while preserving readable hierarchy.

### Values

- Legibility comes before material effects; translucent panels must use milky fill, strong text, and sufficient spacing.
- Restraint creates freshness through cool mist neutrals, pale aqua rain tint, and one or two diluted candy accents.
- Surface roles are explicit through blur, opacity, outline weight, and inset highlights rather than many colors.
- Rounded geometry should feel like a thin candy shell with continuous corners, hairline gloss arcs, and clipped highlight bands.

### Anti-Values

- No rainbow translucency, neon glow, loud gradients, or multi-color glass competing with content.
- No generic pastel SaaS dashboard, cheerful blobs, emoji decoration, or childish candy-store cues.
- No low-contrast glassmorphism where background pattern bleeds through small text.

### Visual Character

- Milky semi-opaque containers use backdrop-filter blur, cool white background wash, and rgba aqua borders no stronger than hairline outlines.
- Candy-shell edge highlights appear through pseudo-elements with thin top-left gloss bands and clipped translucent corner arcs.
- Lychee pink and yuzu accents are reserved for tiny pills, active ticks, progress droplets, and one primary button.
- Hierarchy is created with solid white reading cards, misted translucent control trays, and barely tinted background shelves.
- The composition uses one dominant rounded shell panel, smaller mist chips, and a full-width rainline strip to break the grid quietly.

# 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 while preserving readable hierarchy.

### Values

- Legibility comes before material effects; translucent panels must use milky fill, strong text, and sufficient spacing.
- Restraint creates freshness through cool mist neutrals, pale aqua rain tint, and one or two diluted candy accents.
- Surface roles are explicit through blur, opacity, outline weight, and inset highlights rather than many colors.
- Rounded geometry should feel like a thin candy shell with continuous corners, hairline gloss arcs, and clipped highlight bands.

### Anti-Values

- No rainbow translucency, neon glow, loud gradients, or multi-color glass competing with content.
- No generic pastel SaaS dashboard, cheerful blobs, emoji decoration, or childish candy-store cues.
- No low-contrast glassmorphism where background pattern bleeds through small text.

### Visual Character

- Milky semi-opaque containers use backdrop-filter blur, cool white background wash, and rgba aqua borders no stronger than hairline outlines.
- Candy-shell edge highlights appear through pseudo-elements with thin top-left gloss bands and clipped translucent corner arcs.
- Lychee pink and yuzu accents are reserved for tiny pills, active ticks, progress droplets, and one primary button.
- Hierarchy is created with solid white reading cards, misted translucent control trays, and barely tinted background shelves.
- The composition uses one dominant rounded shell panel, smaller mist chips, and a full-width rainline strip to break the grid quietly.

- **Bg Pattern**: Static rainline field made from faint vertical linear-gradients and pale aqua radial droplets at 6-8% opacity.
- **Card Style**: Large rounded shells use 24px, thin aqua outlines, top-left gloss bands, and low cool shadows; reading cards use near-solid white surfaces.

### Borders

- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: Borders behave like condensation rims: near-invisible on neutral surfaces, slightly brighter on active candy-shell edges, never hard gray.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid with rgba(127,184,189,0.18) or rgba(33,48,51,0.07)

## Components

### Composition

One dominant shell panel carries the task, a narrow rail of mist chips supports it, and a rainline strip breaks the grid horizontally with asymmetry and broad margins.

### Density

Low-to-medium density with tight 4-12px control clusters and 64-112px gaps between major groups for clean rain air.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy is made by opacity and role before color: solid reading surfaces, translucent trays, outlined mist chips, and tiny candy accents for active states.

### Signature Patterns

- Candy-shell highlight pseudo-elements draw a 1px white gloss band plus a clipped translucent corner arc on primary rounded containers.
- Rainline separators use repeating-linear-gradient vertical strokes that fade at both ends as full-width grid breaks.
- Droplet priority markers are tiny oval pills with lychee or yuzu fill, inset white shine, and text labels beside them.
- Surface hierarchy is encoded in .solid-read, .mist-tray, .clear-chip, and .aqua-shelf roles with different blur and opacity.

## 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-019e0a84-89ca-7d11-a0d8-a68a3f4941d8/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 Keep body text on near-solid or heavily milky surfaces and verify contrast before adding translucency.
- Do Use no more than two candy accents in one screen, preferably lychee pink and softened yuzu.
- Do Name container roles explicitly and vary blur, opacity, and outline strength according to reading priority.
- Do Use 24px shells consistently for major containers, with 16px only for compact chips and 9999px for droplets.
- Do Let one dominant shell panel carry the primary task instead of arranging equal-weight cards.
- Do Use full-width rainline separators as quiet grid breaks when a long surface needs rhythm.
- Don't Do not use rainbow refraction, neon cyan, saturated candy gradients, or multi-hue glass panels.
- Don't Do not place small muted text directly on transparent blur over patterned backgrounds.
- Don't Do not create three equal cards in a row; make one panel dominant and vary supporting modules.
- Don't Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text.
- Don't Do not mix 24px and 32px container radii; large shells stay at 24px for a deliberate candy-shell commitment.
- Don't Do not use hard gray borders where condensation-like rgba aqua or ink hairlines are expected.

### Accessibility

Maintain WCAG AA contrast, keep core reading surfaces at least 88% white opacity, and provide visible aqua focus rings.

### Usage Context

Best for wellness instruments, environmental controls, skincare formulation tools, and quiet premium utilities.

# Clear Rain Candy Shell Minimalism shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e0a84-89ca-7d11-a0d8-a68a3f4941d8`
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 while preserving readable 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`.

## Token cues

Colors:

{
  "accent": "#E7A9B8",
  "background": "#F7FAF9",
  "border": "#D9E8E8",
  "error": "#B56D73",
  "info": "#7CAEB4",
  "muted": "#6F7F82",
  "primary": "#7FB8BD",
  "secondary": "#DDEDEF",
  "success": "#6F9C87",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#213033",
  "warning": "#C7A35D"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Afacad",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Afacad:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Fragment+Mono&family=Fraunces:opsz,wght,SOFT@9..144,500..800,70&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Fraunces",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "line_height": 1.55,
  "mono_font": "Fragment Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.25
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Milky semi-opaque containers use backdrop-filter blur, cool white background wash, and rgba aqua borders no stronger than hairline outlines.
- Candy-shell edge highlights appear through pseudo-elements with thin top-left gloss bands and clipped translucent corner arcs.
- Lychee pink and yuzu accents are reserved for tiny pills, active ticks, progress droplets, and one primary button.
- Hierarchy is created with solid white reading cards, misted translucent control trays, and barely tinted background shelves.
- The composition uses one dominant rounded shell panel, smaller mist chips, and a full-width rainline strip to break the grid quietly.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "system",
  "material": "flat",
  "contour": "pebble",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": false,
  "grain": false,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "motion": "still",
  "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/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 and softened yuzu.; Name container roles explicitly and vary blur, opacity, and outline strength according to reading priority.; Use 24px shells consistently for major containers, with 16px only for compact chips and 9999px for droplets.; Let one dominant shell panel carry the primary task instead of arranging equal-weight cards.; Use full-width rainline separators as quiet grid breaks when a long surface needs rhythm.
- 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 supporting modules.; Do not rely on color alone for state; pair every droplet accent with label text.; Do not mix 24px and 32px container radii; large shells stay at 24px for a deliberate candy-shell commitment.; Do not use hard gray borders where condensation-like rgba aqua or ink hairlines are expected.

## Copy-paste component example

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