rules
Use a consumer app scene with a spacious editorial header, one primary action island, a tactile detail sheet, and compact supporting modules; avoid equal dashboard card grids by varying card scale, depth, and density.
Medium-low density with generous white space, compact metadata rows, and focused clusters of controls; detail sheets may be denser but must preserve 16px readable body text.
Large Fraunces headlines and Onest labels establish calm premium hierarchy; bright pixels indicate the next meaningful choice, active item, or progress state rather than decorating every surface.
layout
mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-960px, desktop >= 961px
Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px canvas with a 7/5 hero split and varied supporting modules; tablet becomes 6 columns and mobile stacks into one column.
Outer whitespace ranges from 24px mobile to 72px desktop; important cards keep 24-32px internal padding while pixel details stay in 4-8px increments.
guidance
- Use a mostly white and warm-neutral field, then spend citron, iris, and coral only on meaningful state, progress, selection, and confirmation.
- Keep pixel cues small: icon corners, tile clusters, progress cells, focus offsets, and empty-state micro-illustrations.
- Choose one committed radius geometry and pair it with tiny notches rather than mixing many arbitrary soft-card shapes.
- Make product scenes specific to consumer rituals such as planning, collecting, styling, saving, or wellness rather than generic dashboards.
- Do not use square-grid or dotted wallpaper, full rainbow palettes, arcade fonts, game scenery, or blocky all-over theming.
- Do not add colored side rails, left stripes, decorative confetti, or accent marks that do not communicate state or hierarchy.
- Do not allow material or pixel metaphors to stop at decoration; they must shape controls, focus, badges, progress, and responsive composition.
- Do not crowd the page with identical SaaS metric cards or default browser form controls.

# Porcelain Pixel Bloom ## Philosophy Porcelain Pixel Bloom is a premium consumer-app language for calm white interfaces where a few luminous, color-theory accents behave like tiny cut-glass pixels: useful signals, not nostalgic game decoration. ### Values - Keep the product surface quiet, breathable, and unmistakably usable before any identity cue appears. - Use a split-complement accent family as semantic light: citron for positive momentum, iris for active focus, and coral only for urgent warmth. - Let pixel art influence edge rhythm, icons, badges, and micro-illustrations without turning screens into retro game scenery. - Make every bright mark attached to a state, choice, metric, or action so color never becomes garnish. - Prefer premium consumer warmth over generic SaaS dashboards through editorial copy, tactile cards, and human daily-planning content. ### Anti-Values - No full rainbow palette, arcade nostalgia, Minecraft block overload, neon cyberpunk glow, or square-grid wallpaper. - No decorative side rails, colored stripes on cards or rows, confetti sprinkles, or color accents detached from product meaning. - No generic analytics dashboard, default form styling, arbitrary mixed radii, or childish icon stickers. ### Visual Character - Use porcelain-white and warm-neutral surfaces with 1px translucent taupe hairlines, one committed 20px outer radius, and tiny clipped 4px pixel nicks on selected corners via clip-path. - Attach bright split-complement pixels as 2x2 or 3x3 tile clusters inside buttons, icons, progress marks, and badges; never repeat them as a page background or square grid. - Build cards with floating offset underplates in pale neutral tones and crisp inner highlights, using shadow only as a shallow product-object lift rather than soft SaaS blur. - Compose screens with large white breathing fields, asymmetric content islands, and compact pixel-motif metadata rows that create rhythm at edges and corners. - Use rounded editorial typography paired with precise monospace numerals so the interface feels premium and measured while micro-details remain quantized. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 2px - **Character**: Warm taupe separators for structure;

# Porcelain Pixel Bloom
## Overview
Porcelain Pixel Bloom is a premium consumer-app language for calm white interfaces where a few luminous, color-theory accents behave like tiny cut-glass pixels: useful signals, not nostalgic game decoration.
### Values
- Keep the product surface quiet, breathable, and unmistakably usable before any identity cue appears.
- Use a split-complement accent family as semantic light: citron for positive momentum, iris for active focus, and coral only for urgent warmth.
- Let pixel art influence edge rhythm, icons, badges, and micro-illustrations without turning screens into retro game scenery.
- Make every bright mark attached to a state, choice, metric, or action so color never becomes garnish.
- Prefer premium consumer warmth over generic SaaS dashboards through editorial copy, tactile cards, and human daily-planning content.
### Anti-Values
- No full rainbow palette, arcade nostalgia, Minecraft block overload, neon cyberpunk glow, or square-grid wallpaper.
- No decorative side rails, colored stripes on cards or rows, confetti sprinkles, or color accents detached from product meaning.
- No generic analytics dashboard, default form styling, arbitrary mixed radii, or childish icon stickers.
### Visual Character
- Use porcelain-white and warm-neutral surfaces with 1px translucent taupe hairlines, one committed 20px outer radius, and tiny clipped 4px pixel nicks on selected corners via clip-path.
- Attach bright split-complement pixels as 2x2 or 3x3 tile clusters inside buttons, icons, progress marks, and badges; never repeat them as a page background or square grid.
- Build cards with floating offset underplates in pale neutral tones and crisp inner highlights, using shadow only as a shallow product-object lift rather than soft SaaS blur.
- Compose screens with large white breathing fields, asymmetric content islands, and compact pixel-motif metadata rows that create rhythm at edges and corners.
- Use rounded editorial typography paired with precise monospace numerals so the interface feels premium and measured while micro-details remain quantized.
## 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 | `#FF6B4A` |
| background | `#FAFAF7` |
| border | `#DDD8CE` |
| error | `#D83A31` |
| info | `#3478F6` |
| muted | `#76716B` |
| primary | `#6757F6` |
| secondary | `#C7F23B` |

## Layout
### Spacing Tokens
- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `4px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **Lg**: `16px`
- **Xl**: `24px`

### Whitespace
Outer whitespace ranges from 24px mobile to 72px desktop; important cards keep 24-32px internal padding while pixel details stay in 4-8px increments.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 28px 80px rgba(38,34,28,0.14)
- **Md**: 0 14px 36px rgba(38,34,28,0.10)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 0 rgba(29,27,32,0.08)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `20px`
- **Md**: `14px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: No repeated grid or dots by default; background remains calm with isolated pixel-bloom motifs only near meaningful hero and empty-state moments.
- **Card Style**: White rounded cards with taupe hairlines, shallow object shadow, and one or two 4px clipped pixel nicks on identity-bearing modules.
- **Treatment**: Clean white porcelain surfaces on a warm neutral canvas with occasional offset underplates and crisp inner highlights.
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: Warm taupe separators for structure; iris two-step outlines for focus; citron/coral borders only for semantic states.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid hairline with stepped focus outlines
## Components
### Composition
Use a consumer app scene with a spacious editorial header, one primary action island, a tactile detail sheet, and compact supporting modules; avoid equal dashboard card grids by varying card scale, depth, and density.
### Density
Medium-low density with generous white space, compact metadata rows, and focused clusters of controls; detail sheets may be denser but must preserve 16px readable body text.
### Hierarchy
Large Fraunces headlines and Onest labels establish calm premium hierarchy; bright pixels indicate the next meaningful choice, active item, or progress state rather than decorating every surface.
### Signature Patterns
- Pixel-bloom badges combine four to nine tiny square tiles in citron, iris, and rare coral, placed beside labels or inside icon glyphs as semantic state markers.
- Notched porcelain cards use CSS clip-path polygons to remove a 4px corner bite while preserving a 20px radius illusion through layered underplates.
- Stepped focus rings render as an iris outline plus a one-pixel offset citron tile shadow, making keyboard states visible without neon glow.
- Quantized progress bars fill as separated 8px cells with rounded containers, bridging pixel-art rhythm and premium product feedback.
- Micro-illustrations are built from sparse square and rounded-rectangle CSS tiles floating in empty states, never from full-scene pixel art.
## 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-019e4684-1c9a-7551-9e89-05fb4c9f0003/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 a mostly white and warm-neutral field, then spend citron, iris, and coral only on meaningful state, progress, selection, and confirmation.
- Do Keep pixel cues small: icon corners, tile clusters, progress cells, focus offsets, and empty-state micro-illustrations.
- Do Choose one committed radius geometry and pair it with tiny notches rather than mixing many arbitrary soft-card shapes.
- Do Make product scenes specific to consumer rituals such as planning, collecting, styling, saving, or wellness rather than generic dashboards.
- Don't Do not use square-grid or dotted wallpaper, full rainbow palettes, arcade fonts, game scenery, or blocky all-over theming.
- Don't Do not add colored side rails, left stripes, decorative confetti, or accent marks that do not communicate state or hierarchy.
- Don't Do not allow material or pixel metaphors to stop at decoration; they must shape controls, focus, badges, progress, and responsive composition.
- Don't Do not crowd the page with identical SaaS metric cards or default browser form controls.
### Accessibility
Maintain AA contrast for all text, pair color states with labels or icons, keep focus rings visible, and never rely on tiny pixel color alone to convey critical status.
### Usage Context
Best for premium consumer apps in personal planning, wardrobe, food, savings, wellness, collecting, and lifestyle tools that need memorable identity without sacrificing calm usability.

# Porcelain Pixel Bloom shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e4684-1c9a-7551-9e89-05fb4c9f0003`
Slug: `porcelain-pixel-bloom`
## Intent
Porcelain Pixel Bloom is a premium consumer-app language for calm white interfaces where a few luminous, color-theory accents behave like tiny cut-glass pixels: useful signals, not nostalgic game 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": "#FF6B4A",
"background": "#FAFAF7",
"border": "#DDD8CE",
"error": "#D83A31",
"info": "#3478F6",
"muted": "#76716B",
"primary": "#6757F6",
"secondary": "#C7F23B",
"success": "#4C8F46",
"surface": "#FFFFFF",
"text": "#1D1B20",
"warning": "#C8871B"
}
Typography:
{
"base_size": "16px",
"body_font": "Onest",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fraunces:opsz,wght@9..144,600;9..144,700&family=Onest:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap",
"heading_font": "Fraunces",
"letter_spacing": "-0.018em",
"line_height": 1.52,
"mono_font": "Space Mono",
"scale_ratio": 1.23
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Use porcelain-white and warm-neutral surfaces with 1px translucent taupe hairlines, one committed 20px outer radius, and tiny clipped 4px pixel nicks on selected corners via clip-path.
- Attach bright split-complement pixels as 2x2 or 3x3 tile clusters inside buttons, icons, progress marks, and badges; never repeat them as a page background or square grid.
- Build cards with floating offset underplates in pale neutral tones and crisp inner highlights, using shadow only as a shallow product-object lift rather than soft SaaS blur.
- Compose screens with large white breathing fields, asymmetric content islands, and compact pixel-motif metadata rows that create rhythm at edges and corners.
- Use rounded editorial typography paired with precise monospace numerals so the interface feels premium and measured while micro-details remain quantized.
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "editorial",
"material": "flat",
"contour": "default",
"border": "solid",
"underlay": true,
"grain": false,
"stickerBadges": true,
"motion": "lift",
"density": "dense",
"accents": [

]
}
## 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/porcelain-pixel-bloom/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 mostly white and warm-neutral field, then spend citron, iris, and coral only on meaningful state, progress, selection, and confirmation.; Keep pixel cues small: icon corners, tile clusters, progress cells, focus offsets, and empty-state micro-illustrations.; Choose one committed radius geometry and pair it with tiny notches rather than mixing many arbitrary soft-card shapes.; Make product scenes specific to consumer rituals such as planning, collecting, styling, saving, or wellness rather than generic dashboards.
- Do not: Do not use square-grid or dotted wallpaper, full rainbow palettes, arcade fonts, game scenery, or blocky all-over theming.; Do not add colored side rails, left stripes, decorative confetti, or accent marks that do not communicate state or hierarchy.; Do not allow material or pixel metaphors to stop at decoration; they must shape controls, focus, badges, progress, and responsive composition.; Do not crowd the page with identical SaaS metric cards or default browser form controls.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.

{
"breakpoints": "mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-960px, desktop >= 961px",
"grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column max-width 1180px canvas with a 7/5 hero split and varied supporting modules; tablet becomes 6 columns and mobile stacks into one column.",
"whitespace": "Outer whitespace ranges from 24px mobile to 72px desktop; important cards keep 24-32px internal padding while pixel details stay in 4-8px increments."
