# Chroma Aperture Surfaces shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e464b-a095-7e21-9d7c-b231bfcb2c18`
Slug: `chroma-aperture-surfaces`

## Intent

Chroma Aperture Surfaces is a premium product interface language where calm white hardware-like planes are punctuated by a few optically tuned color apertures that carry state, navigation, and product memory rather than decoration.

## 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": "#625BFF",
  "background": "#F7F6F2",
  "border": "#DDE1E7",
  "error": "#D84B3A",
  "info": "#3D66E8",
  "muted": "#747B86",
  "primary": "#18A878",
  "secondary": "#FF6A4A",
  "success": "#159A69",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#111318",
  "warning": "#D89219"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Host Grotesk",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Host+Grotesk:wght@400;500;600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Host Grotesk",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.025em",
  "line_height": 1.48,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Use large white and warm-porcelain panels with 22px committed radii, one-pixel cool borders, and soft vertical shadows that read as product hardware surfaces.
- Place color in inset aperture wells: rounded rectangular recesses, small circular status lenses, and focus rings using translucent radial CSS gradients rather than side stripes.
- Build hierarchy with oversized calm typography, tight negative letter spacing, wide section gutters, and sparse metadata chips instead of dense dashboard modules.
- Use a neutral page field with subtle top-to-bottom luminosity and no square grid, no default dot texture, and no decorative wallpaper motif.
- Reserve the strongest chroma for one active decision path at a time, balancing cool mineral green with warm coral-orange and a deep blue-violet support hue.

## ShadSync visual profile

  "family": "paper-collage",

  ]
}

## 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/chroma-aperture-surfaces/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 a restrained three-hue chroma relationship: mineral green for constructive flow, coral-orange for human urgency, and blue-violet for intelligence or navigation.; Keep most surfaces white or warm neutral and let color appear in apertures, focus rings, selected tabs, status lenses, and one primary action.; Make application scenes specific to product workflows such as device calibration, creative review, health scheduling, or inventory approvals.; Maintain full text contrast and pair every color state with labels, icons, or position.
- Do not: Do not use rainbow palettes, arbitrary confetti, startup blobs, neon cyberpunk glows, or color merely as garnish.; Do not use square-grid backgrounds, default repeated dotted notebook texture, or textbook-page imitation.; Do not put decorative side rails or left stripes on cards, buttons, rows, or panels.; Do not make the scene a generic analytics dashboard or a template SaaS admin shell.

## 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 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px and above with max content width near 1240px.",
  "grid": "Use an asymmetric 12-column layout on desktop with a wide product canvas and a narrower context column; mobile stacks into one column.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace is a material feature: keep broad outer margins, 24px card gaps, and open header breathing room around chroma accents."
