rules
Use a wide editorial product workspace with one dominant review canvas, a compact tool column, and a small grid break where a floating pixel callout overlaps the canvas edge.
Balanced density: roomy primary surfaces, tight metadata clusters, and 4px micro-rhythm inside badges and pixel glyphs.
Hierarchy comes from scale contrast, proximity, and controlled accent planes: citron marks action or current focus while periwinkle carries selection and information.
layout
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1440px with CSS media queries at 720px and 1080px
Twelve-column desktop grid with a dominant 7-column workspace, 3-column tools, and 2-column status stack; mobile collapses to one column.
Whitespace ranges from 4px glyph pixels to 64px section gaps so proximity, not extra containers, groups information.
guidance
- Use citron for the single most important focus or action, not every positive state.
- Draw pixel influence as small CSS block glyphs, stepped tabs, or clipped corners embedded in components.
- Keep white and neutral surfaces dominant so accents feel expensive and intentional.
- Style every form control, focus ring, table row, and tooltip with the same stepped-corner logic.
- Do not use square-grid backgrounds, dotted textures, arcade motifs, or blocky wallpaper.
- Do not add colored side rails or left-border garnish to cards, rows, buttons, or panels.
- Do not spread multiple bright hues across charts or decorative confetti.
- Do not use generic rounded shadow cards as the primary identity.
katagami spec
# Lumen Step Product System ## Philosophy Lumen Step is a premium white product-interface language where minimalist pixel-art discipline appears as crisp stepped highlights, tiny resolution-aware glyphs, and quantized component edges rather than nostalgia or game theming. ### Values - white-space-led product clarity - two-accent color theory with meaningful contrast - pixel influence as precise micro-structure - usable forms and data states before decoration ### Anti-Values - retro arcade skins and blocky novelty - square-grid or dotted wallpaper defaults - rainbow accent sprawl - decorative side rails on cards or buttons ### Visual Character - Porcelain white page background with flat warm-white cards separated by 1px blue-grey hairlines and almost no drop shadow. - Selected and important states use 4px stepped corner tabs built from orthogonal box-shadow blocks, never rounded side rails. - Tiny pixel glyphs are drawn as inline 2px CSS blocks inside badges, buttons, and metadata labels for sparse rhythmic punctuation. - Bright citron highlight is paired with cool periwinkle ink so vivid color appears in small structured planes, not confetti. - Corners commit to a compact 10px product radius with occasional clipped 90-degree notches to create a high-resolution/low-resolution tension. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 2px - **Character**: Quiet blue-grey separators;

# Lumen Step Product System
## Overview
Lumen Step is a premium white product-interface language where minimalist pixel-art discipline appears as crisp stepped highlights, tiny resolution-aware glyphs, and quantized component edges rather than nostalgia or game theming.
### Values
- white-space-led product clarity
- two-accent color theory with meaningful contrast
- pixel influence as precise micro-structure
- usable forms and data states before decoration
### Anti-Values
- retro arcade skins and blocky novelty
- square-grid or dotted wallpaper defaults
- rainbow accent sprawl
- decorative side rails on cards or buttons
### Visual Character
- Porcelain white page background with flat warm-white cards separated by 1px blue-grey hairlines and almost no drop shadow.
- Selected and important states use 4px stepped corner tabs built from orthogonal box-shadow blocks, never rounded side rails.
- Tiny pixel glyphs are drawn as inline 2px CSS blocks inside badges, buttons, and metadata labels for sparse rhythmic punctuation.
- Bright citron highlight is paired with cool periwinkle ink so vivid color appears in small structured planes, not confetti.
- Corners commit to a compact 10px product radius with occasional clipped 90-degree notches to create a high-resolution/low-resolution tension.
## 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 | `#C7F548` |
| accent_text | `#18202A` |
| background | `#FAFAF6` |
| border | `#D8DEE8` |
| error | `#B84A5B` |
| info | `#5E83D8` |
| muted | `#66707C` |
| muted_text | `#66707C` |
| primary | `#2D4F8F` |
| primary_text | `#FFFFFF` |
| secondary | `#DCE6FF` |
| secondary_text | `#18202A` |
| success | `#4E8A67` |
| surface | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface_alt | `#F5F7FA` |
| text | `#18202A` |
| warning | `#A87622` |

### Grid
Twelve-column desktop grid with a dominant 7-column workspace, 3-column tools, and 2-column status stack; mobile collapses to one column.
### Whitespace
Whitespace ranges from 4px glyph pixels to 64px section gaps so proximity, not extra containers, groups information.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 24px 60px rgba(45,79,143,0.12)
- **Md**: 0 10px 30px rgba(45,79,143,0.08)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 0 rgba(24,32,42,0.05)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `14px`
- **Md**: `10px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `6px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: No repeated grid or dot pattern; use plain porcelain background with rare isolated pixel constellations tied to labels.
- **Card Style**: Flat bordered cards with 10px radius, generous internal whitespace, and optional stepped corner marker on active panels.
- **Treatment**: Clean warm white surfaces, low shadow, hairline borders, and clipped pixel-step accents only where hierarchy changes.
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: Quiet blue-grey separators; active focus adds periwinkle outline plus citron square step at one corner, never a colored side stripe.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid hairline with orthogonal stepped accent blocks
## Components
### Composition
Use a wide editorial product workspace with one dominant review canvas, a compact tool column, and a small grid break where a floating pixel callout overlaps the canvas edge.
### Density
Balanced density: roomy primary surfaces, tight metadata clusters, and 4px micro-rhythm inside badges and pixel glyphs.
### Hierarchy
Hierarchy comes from scale contrast, proximity, and controlled accent planes: citron marks action or current focus while periwinkle carries selection and information.
### Signature Patterns
- Stepped highlight tabs use three square layers at a card corner to signal current context without creating a side rail.
- Pixel glyph labels use 2px block matrices next to short uppercase metadata, appearing only once per cluster to avoid ornament overload.
- Quantized focus rings offset by 2px combine periwinkle outlines with a single citron square to make keyboard states unmistakable.
- Clipped-corner panels use polygonal masks on only one or two priority surfaces, preserving Apple-clean rectangles elsewhere.
## 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-019e4685-5b51-7013-99cc-23248878580d/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 citron for the single most important focus or action, not every positive state.
- Do Draw pixel influence as small CSS block glyphs, stepped tabs, or clipped corners embedded in components.
- Do Keep white and neutral surfaces dominant so accents feel expensive and intentional.
- Do Style every form control, focus ring, table row, and tooltip with the same stepped-corner logic.
- Don't Do not use square-grid backgrounds, dotted textures, arcade motifs, or blocky wallpaper.
- Don't Do not add colored side rails or left-border garnish to cards, rows, buttons, or panels.
- Don't Do not spread multiple bright hues across charts or decorative confetti.
- Don't Do not use generic rounded shadow cards as the primary identity.

# Lumen Step Product System shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e4685-5b51-7013-99cc-23248878580d`
Slug: `lumen-step-product-system`
## Intent
Lumen Step is a premium white product-interface language where minimalist pixel-art discipline appears as crisp stepped highlights, tiny resolution-aware glyphs, and quantized component edges rather than nostalgia or game theming.
## 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`.

"body_font": "Afacad",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Afacad:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Fragment+Mono&family=Instrument+Sans:wght@500;600;700;800&display=swap",
"heading_font": "Instrument Sans",
"letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
"line_height": 1.5,
"mono_font": "Fragment Mono",
"scale_ratio": 1.25
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Porcelain white page background with flat warm-white cards separated by 1px blue-grey hairlines and almost no drop shadow.
- Selected and important states use 4px stepped corner tabs built from orthogonal box-shadow blocks, never rounded side rails.
- Tiny pixel glyphs are drawn as inline 2px CSS blocks inside badges, buttons, and metadata labels for sparse rhythmic punctuation.
- Bright citron highlight is paired with cool periwinkle ink so vivid color appears in small structured planes, not confetti.
- Corners commit to a compact 10px product radius with occasional clipped 90-degree notches to create a high-resolution/low-resolution tension.
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "system",
"material": "flat",
"contour": "default",
"border": "solid",
"underlay": true,
"grain": false,
"stickerBadges": true,
"motion": "still",

"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/lumen-step-product-system/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 citron for the single most important focus or action, not every positive state.; Draw pixel influence as small CSS block glyphs, stepped tabs, or clipped corners embedded in components.; Keep white and neutral surfaces dominant so accents feel expensive and intentional.; Style every form control, focus ring, table row, and tooltip with the same stepped-corner logic.
- Do not: Do not use square-grid backgrounds, dotted textures, arcade motifs, or blocky wallpaper.; Do not add colored side rails or left-border garnish to cards, rows, buttons, or panels.; Do not spread multiple bright hues across charts or decorative confetti.; Do not use generic rounded shadow cards as the primary identity.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
