rules
Use a spacious product-study composition: one large object or content stage occupies the visual center, while narrow measurement panels and calm navigation sit at the perimeter.
Low-to-medium density with generous 24-64px pauses, compact metadata rows, and at least one open quiet zone in every major viewport.
Hierarchy is set through scale, weight, and isolation; violet marks current scope and chartreuse marks live significance, not decoration.
layout
Mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px, wide 1440px with max content width of 1320px.
Desktop uses a 12-column fluid grid with a dominant 7-column stage, 3-column instrument stack, and 2-column calm navigation; mobile collapses to stacked sections.
Whitespace is the luxury material: maintain 32-64px exterior padding on larger viewports and preserve clear breathing room around controls.
guidance
- Use chartreuse sparingly for live deltas, selected handles, status dots, and one decisive action moment only.
- Keep backgrounds plain museum white and let product content, typography, and measurement panels create structure.
- Use deep violet for active navigation, current scope, selected states, and primary product decisions.
- Build components from fine stone borders, consistent 16px card radii, and precise mono metadata labels.
- Do not use dotted backgrounds, square grids, colored side rails, card stripes, color swatch collages, or arbitrary confetti.
- Do not add blue, orange, coral, or additional vivid accent systems beyond the violet and restrained chartreuse relationship.
- Do not turn the concept into a generic analytics dashboard or rainbow component catalog.
- Do not flood cards or panels with chartreuse; it must remain a sharp highlight.

# Museum White Violet Chartreuse Tension ## Philosophy A product-first museum-white interface where deep violet supplies calm intellectual authority and a single restrained chartreuse edge marks only live, high-value moments. The design feels like a premium object label system translated into software: sparse, exact, and quietly tense. ### Values - Product content remains the visual hero through white space, graphite typography, and minimal chrome. - Deep violet is structural and supervisory, reserved for selected controls, active states, and editorial wayfinding. - Chartreuse appears as a sharp optical signal for live thresholds, deltas, focus confirmations, and one or two decisive calls to action. - Premium restraint is created by larger pauses, fine rules, and disciplined radii instead of decorative color fields. ### Anti-Values - No rainbow UI, SaaS dashboard templates, colored rails, stripe accents, confetti, dotted textures, or square-grid backgrounds. - No casual neon cyberpunk treatment; chartreuse must never flood surfaces or compete with product imagery. - No arbitrary mixed corner radii or generic card collage layouts. ### Visual Character - Museum-white page field with no pattern, no grid texture, and large uninterrupted margins around a centered product workspace. - Thin light-stone dividers and graphite hairline borders define planes while avoiding colored side rails or decorative card stripes. - Deep-violet active controls use compact filled capsules and underlined text markers rather than broad tinted panels. - Chartreuse is limited to small luminous dots, numeric deltas, focus ticks, and one precision scrubber handle at under five percent visual coverage. - Asymmetric product-study layout pairs an oversized object stage with narrow instrument panels and quiet metadata rows. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 1.5px - **Character**: Stone hairlines for structure;

# Museum White Violet Chartreuse Tension
## Overview
A product-first museum-white interface where deep violet supplies calm intellectual authority and a single restrained chartreuse edge marks only live, high-value moments. The design feels like a premium object label system translated into software: sparse, exact, and quietly tense.
### Values
- Product content remains the visual hero through white space, graphite typography, and minimal chrome.
- Deep violet is structural and supervisory, reserved for selected controls, active states, and editorial wayfinding.
- Chartreuse appears as a sharp optical signal for live thresholds, deltas, focus confirmations, and one or two decisive calls to action.
- Premium restraint is created by larger pauses, fine rules, and disciplined radii instead of decorative color fields.
### Anti-Values
- No rainbow UI, SaaS dashboard templates, colored rails, stripe accents, confetti, dotted textures, or square-grid backgrounds.
- No casual neon cyberpunk treatment; chartreuse must never flood surfaces or compete with product imagery.
- No arbitrary mixed corner radii or generic card collage layouts.
### Visual Character
- Museum-white page field with no pattern, no grid texture, and large uninterrupted margins around a centered product workspace.
- Thin light-stone dividers and graphite hairline borders define planes while avoiding colored side rails or decorative card stripes.
- Deep-violet active controls use compact filled capsules and underlined text markers rather than broad tinted panels.
- Chartreuse is limited to small luminous dots, numeric deltas, focus ticks, and one precision scrubber handle at under five percent visual coverage.
- Asymmetric product-study layout pairs an oversized object stage with narrow instrument panels and quiet metadata rows.
## Colors

- **Md**: `10px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `6px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: No pattern, no dots, no square grid; the background is uninterrupted warm white.
- **Card Style**: Low-relief rectangular cards with 16px radius, hairline stone border, minimal shadow only when elevated above the product stage.
- **Treatment**: Flat museum-white and pure-white planes with subtle stone borders; avoid color washes except very pale violet selection fields.
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 1.5px
- **Character**: Stone hairlines for structure; violet only for selected outlines and chartreuse only for tiny state ticks, never decorative rails.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Use a spacious product-study composition: one large object or content stage occupies the visual center, while narrow measurement panels and calm navigation sit at the perimeter.
### Density
Low-to-medium density with generous 24-64px pauses, compact metadata rows, and at least one open quiet zone in every major viewport.
### Hierarchy
Hierarchy is set through scale, weight, and isolation; violet marks current scope and chartreuse marks live significance, not decoration.
### Signature Patterns
- Violet aperture controls: selected tabs and primary actions use deep-violet filled capsules with tight padding and white type.
- Chartreuse precision ticks: small circular LEDs, slider handles, and numeric deltas mark only active, live, or threshold states.
- Stone vitrine panels: white cards use thin stone borders, small mono labels, and internal horizontal separators for museum-object clarity.
- Product stage asymmetry: a large unpatterned white stage offsets a compact graphite/violet instrument cluster without a generic dashboard grid.
- Quiet focus rings: keyboard focus appears as a 1.5px violet outline plus a tiny chartreuse notch rather than glowing neon.
## 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-019e4644-bcf6-7c91-a161-a44b1ec3d4f5/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 chartreuse sparingly for live deltas, selected handles, status dots, and one decisive action moment only.
- Do Keep backgrounds plain museum white and let product content, typography, and measurement panels create structure.
- Do Use deep violet for active navigation, current scope, selected states, and primary product decisions.
- Do Build components from fine stone borders, consistent 16px card radii, and precise mono metadata labels.
- Don't Do not use dotted backgrounds, square grids, colored side rails, card stripes, color swatch collages, or arbitrary confetti.
- Don't Do not add blue, orange, coral, or additional vivid accent systems beyond the violet and restrained chartreuse relationship.
- Don't Do not turn the concept into a generic analytics dashboard or rainbow component catalog.
- Don't Do not flood cards or panels with chartreuse; it must remain a sharp highlight.

# Museum White Violet Chartreuse Tension shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e4644-bcf6-7c91-a161-a44b1ec3d4f5`
Slug: `museum-white-violet-chartreuse-tension`
## Intent
A product-first museum-white interface where deep violet supplies calm intellectual authority and a single restrained chartreuse edge marks only live, high-value moments. The design feels like a premium object label system translated into software: sparse, exact, and quietly tense.
## 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
- Museum-white page field with no pattern, no grid texture, and large uninterrupted margins around a centered product workspace.
- Thin light-stone dividers and graphite hairline borders define planes while avoiding colored side rails or decorative card stripes.
- Deep-violet active controls use compact filled capsules and underlined text markers rather than broad tinted panels.
- Chartreuse is limited to small luminous dots, numeric deltas, focus ticks, and one precision scrubber handle at under five percent visual coverage.
- Asymmetric product-study layout pairs an oversized object stage with narrow instrument panels and quiet metadata rows.

}
## 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/museum-white-violet-chartreuse-tension/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 chartreuse sparingly for live deltas, selected handles, status dots, and one decisive action moment only.; Keep backgrounds plain museum white and let product content, typography, and measurement panels create structure.; Use deep violet for active navigation, current scope, selected states, and primary product decisions.; Build components from fine stone borders, consistent 16px card radii, and precise mono metadata labels.
- Do not: Do not use dotted backgrounds, square grids, colored side rails, card stripes, color swatch collages, or arbitrary confetti.; Do not add blue, orange, coral, or additional vivid accent systems beyond the violet and restrained chartreuse relationship.; Do not turn the concept into a generic analytics dashboard or rainbow component catalog.; Do not flood cards or panels with chartreuse; it must remain a sharp highlight.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.

import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function MuseumWhiteVioletChartreuseTensionShadcnKit() {

## Layout notes
{
"breakpoints": "Mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px, wide 1440px with max content width of 1320px.",
"grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column fluid grid with a dominant 7-column stage, 3-column instrument stack, and 2-column calm navigation; mobile collapses to stacked sections.",
"whitespace": "Whitespace is the luxury material: maintain 32-64px exterior padding on larger viewports and preserve clear breathing room around controls."
