rules
Build one spacious product scene with a top command bar, a focused workflow canvas, and supporting object cards; color belongs to active intent zones rather than page decoration.
Moderate-low density with large interactive targets, compact metadata capsules, and no generic dashboard widget grid.
Use type scale, blank space, and card scale first; introduce the intent hue only at the current decision, selected object, active nav item, and semantic state feedback.
layout
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1180px, wide 1440px
Asymmetric product layout: 280px object navigator, flexible central intent canvas, and a 320px inspector on desktop; collapses to stacked cards without square grid backgrounds.
Whitespace is the main material: 24px minimum gutters, 32px card interiors, and extra air around the active color lens.
guidance
- Choose one current intent hue per screen and use supporting semantic hues only for true states.
- Let color occupy structural places: active workflow canvas, selected object, focus ring, confirmation, or onboarding step.
- Keep backgrounds white or warm neutral and make components feel premium through spacing, type, border discipline, and calm motion.
- Use plausible product labels and task-specific objects rather than generic admin metrics.
- Do not use rainbow palettes, confetti, neon cyberpunk gradients, startup blobs, or color merely to prove colorfulness.
- Do not add decorative left rails, side stripes, square grids, textbook pages, or repeated dotted notebook textures.
- Do not turn the scene into a generic dashboard full of charts; color should mark workflow necessity, not analytics variety.
- Do not mix arbitrary radius values; keep the 22px object geometry and 9999px capsules consistent.

# Intent Lens White ## Philosophy Intent Lens White is a premium minimal product language where color is not decoration but the visible address of user intent: the active workflow, the selected object, and critical semantic states receive authored color fields inside an otherwise calm white interface. ### Values - white-space first product clarity - color as workflow ownership - premium restraint with memorable state grammar - large touchable object hierarchy over dense dashboards ### Anti-Values - rainbow default color systems - side-rail accents on cards or rows - generic analytics dashboards - texture used as filler - colorful garnish disconnected from state ### Visual Character - Expansive #FAFAF7 canvas with white cards, 1px warm-gray borders, and no repeated background motif or square grid texture. - Large blurred radial color lenses sit behind only the current workflow object, clipped by rounded containers rather than attached as stripes or rails. - Navigation uses monochrome labels by default and a single active oval filled with the current intent hue at low opacity plus a crisp color dot. - Cards use centered content, generous 24-32px padding, 18px radius, hairline dividers, and semantic color only in badges, focus rings, and object halos. - Data and state components encode meaning through compact colored capsules and gradient-tinted progress tracks instead of multicolor charts. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 2px - **Character**: warm neutral hairlines for structure;

# Intent Lens White
## Overview
Intent Lens White is a premium minimal product language where color is not decoration but the visible address of user intent: the active workflow, the selected object, and critical semantic states receive authored color fields inside an otherwise calm white interface.
### Values
- white-space first product clarity
- color as workflow ownership
- premium restraint with memorable state grammar
- large touchable object hierarchy over dense dashboards
### Anti-Values
- rainbow default color systems
- side-rail accents on cards or rows
- generic analytics dashboards
- texture used as filler
- colorful garnish disconnected from state
### Visual Character
- Expansive #FAFAF7 canvas with white cards, 1px warm-gray borders, and no repeated background motif or square grid texture.
- Large blurred radial color lenses sit behind only the current workflow object, clipped by rounded containers rather than attached as stripes or rails.
- Navigation uses monochrome labels by default and a single active oval filled with the current intent hue at low opacity plus a crisp color dot.
- Cards use centered content, generous 24-32px padding, 18px radius, hairline dividers, and semantic color only in badges, focus rings, and object halos.
- Data and state components encode meaning through compact colored capsules and gradient-tinted progress tracks instead of multicolor charts.
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| accent | `#FFB000` |
| background | `#FAFAF7` |
| border | `#E4E1DA` |
| error | `#D84A4A` |
| info | `#315CFF` |
| muted | `#6F716D` |
| primary | `#315CFF` |
| secondary | `#00A88A` |
| success | `#008C72` |
| surface | `#FFFFFF` |
| text | `#141414` |
| warning | `#B96F00` |

### Breakpoints
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1180px, wide 1440px
### Grid
Asymmetric product layout: 280px object navigator, flexible central intent canvas, and a 320px inspector on desktop; collapses to stacked cards without square grid backgrounds.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is the main material: 24px minimum gutters, 32px card interiors, and extra air around the active color lens.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 36px 90px rgba(49,92,255,0.14)
- **Md**: 0 18px 44px rgba(20,20,20,0.08)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 2px rgba(20,20,20,0.04)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `22px`
- **Md**: `14px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `10px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: none; the canvas remains clean and untextured unless a product screen specifically requires a single diagram trace
- **Card Style**: white rounded rectangles with committed 22px radius, hairline warm borders, minimal shadow, and no decorative side accents
- **Treatment**: warm off-white page, pure white product cards, and translucent color lenses only for active intent regions
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: warm neutral hairlines for structure; color borders appear only on focus, active selection, and semantic confirmation states
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Build one spacious product scene with a top command bar, a focused workflow canvas, and supporting object cards; color belongs to active intent zones rather than page decoration.
### Density
Moderate-low density with large interactive targets, compact metadata capsules, and no generic dashboard widget grid.
### Hierarchy
Use type scale, blank space, and card scale first; introduce the intent hue only at the current decision, selected object, active nav item, and semantic state feedback.
### Signature Patterns
- Intent lens containers use ::before radial gradients blurred behind content and clipped by large radii to show where user attention currently lives.
- Active navigation is a filled soft oval with one hue token and a small circular status bead, never a side rail or underline-only decoration.
- Workflow cards include color-matched focus rings and semantic chips that explain state without adding chart rainbows or arbitrary confetti.
- Data rows are calm white list objects with tiny tinted capsules, neutral separators, and monochrome values so color remains scarce and meaningful.
- Primary actions use a single current-intent fill while secondary actions stay white with hairline borders and color only on hover or focus.
## 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-019e464b-4cb4-7701-a220-b080d0cdad12/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 Choose one current intent hue per screen and use supporting semantic hues only for true states.
- Do Let color occupy structural places: active workflow canvas, selected object, focus ring, confirmation, or onboarding step.
- Do Keep backgrounds white or warm neutral and make components feel premium through spacing, type, border discipline, and calm motion.
- Do Use plausible product labels and task-specific objects rather than generic admin metrics.
- Don't Do not use rainbow palettes, confetti, neon cyberpunk gradients, startup blobs, or color merely to prove colorfulness.
- Don't Do not add decorative left rails, side stripes, square grids, textbook pages, or repeated dotted notebook textures.
- Don't Do not turn the scene into a generic dashboard full of charts; color should mark workflow necessity, not analytics variety.
- Don't Do not mix arbitrary radius values; keep the 22px object geometry and 9999px capsules consistent.

# Intent Lens White shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e464b-4cb4-7701-a220-b080d0cdad12`
Slug: `intent-lens-white`
## Intent
Intent Lens White is a premium minimal product language where color is not decoration but the visible address of user intent: the active workflow, the selected object, and critical semantic states receive authored color fields inside an otherwise calm white interface.
## 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
- Expansive #FAFAF7 canvas with white cards, 1px warm-gray borders, and no repeated background motif or square grid texture.
- Large blurred radial color lenses sit behind only the current workflow object, clipped by rounded containers rather than attached as stripes or rails.
- Navigation uses monochrome labels by default and a single active oval filled with the current intent hue at low opacity plus a crisp color dot.
- Cards use centered content, generous 24-32px padding, 18px radius, hairline dividers, and semantic color only in badges, focus rings, and object halos.
- Data and state components encode meaning through compact colored capsules and gradient-tinted progress tracks instead of multicolor charts.

}
## 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/intent-lens-white/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: Choose one current intent hue per screen and use supporting semantic hues only for true states.; Let color occupy structural places: active workflow canvas, selected object, focus ring, confirmation, or onboarding step.; Keep backgrounds white or warm neutral and make components feel premium through spacing, type, border discipline, and calm motion.; Use plausible product labels and task-specific objects rather than generic admin metrics.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow palettes, confetti, neon cyberpunk gradients, startup blobs, or color merely to prove colorfulness.; Do not add decorative left rails, side stripes, square grids, textbook pages, or repeated dotted notebook textures.; Do not turn the scene into a generic dashboard full of charts; color should mark workflow necessity, not analytics variety.; Do not mix arbitrary radius values; keep the 22px object geometry and 9999px capsules consistent.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
```tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardFooter,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card";
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function IntentLensWhiteShadcnKit() {
return (
