rules
Use an application shell with a quiet navigation column, a dominant analysis workspace, and one compact context rail; create asymmetry through scale and embedded sequence primitives rather than equal card stacks.
Balanced-to-airy density: generous whitespace around major panels, compact micro-density inside sequence rows and variant tables where genomic data needs scannability.
Headlines use Sora with tight tracking, body copy uses Inter for product clarity, and IBM Plex Mono labels sequence IDs, variant codes, nucleobase chips, and small confidence metrics.
layout
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px, wide 1440px
Twelve-column desktop shell with a 252px navigation column, fluid central workspace, and optional 320px context panel; mobile collapses to one column with sequence modules inline.
Whitespace is strongest around primary product decisions and tighter around sequence data; never fill blank areas with decorative grids or dots.
guidance
- Use sequence chips to encode state, data identity, or selection order in buttons, badges, tables, and headers.
- Keep backgrounds white or soft neutral with cool blue, indigo, green, and turquoise accents limited to meaningful states.
- Use complete focus rings, rounded capsules, and fine borders to make the pixel motif premium and product-native.
- Make embodiments scene-first with concrete genomics product workflows such as variant review, sample triage, or cohort alignment.
- Do not use literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule clip art, microscope/lab icons as decoration, or science textbook diagrams.
- Do not use square-grid backgrounds, repeated dotted textures, colored side rails, card stripes, uneven borders, or chipped diagonal corners.
- Do not spread into rainbow palettes, neon cyberpunk, retro game pixels, or generic medical SaaS dashboards.
- Do not place sequence marks where they do not communicate structure, selection, confidence, or product state.

# Sequence Chip Product Language ## Philosophy A clean 2026 product language for genomics-adjacent tools where gene sequences become precise chip-like interface primitives, not lab decoration: small modular marks, quantized strands, and cool controlled highlights organize real product decisions on quiet white surfaces. ### Values - Genomic abstraction as interface structure - Premium restraint on neutral surfaces - Cool-color highlights used for state and sequence meaning - Pixel modularity without game nostalgia - Scene-first product credibility ### Anti-Values - Literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule clip art, or science textbook diagrams - Square-grid backgrounds, default dotted textures, colored side rails, chipped corners, and generic medical SaaS decoration - Rainbow palette sprawl or color used as garnish ### Visual Character - White and warm-neutral canvases use layered inset panels with one-pixel cool borders and no repeated square-grid or dotted background texture. - Gene motifs are built from inline rounded micro-chips, 4px sequence ticks, and short quantized strand segments embedded inside headers, tables, badges, and focus states. - Large calm product surfaces are interrupted by compact turquoise and indigo highlight islands that mark selections, variants, and confidence without side rails or stripes. - Cards and controls use smooth continuous radii, fine hairline borders, and shallow blue-tinted shadows so the pixel motif stays precise rather than retro or chunky. - Motion snaps sequence modules into place with short staggered opacity and translate transitions, suggesting genomic alignment while preserving a premium application feel. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 2px - **Character**: Continuous rounded hairlines in cool blue-gray;

# Sequence Chip Product Language
## Overview
A clean 2026 product language for genomics-adjacent tools where gene sequences become precise chip-like interface primitives, not lab decoration: small modular marks, quantized strands, and cool controlled highlights organize real product decisions on quiet white surfaces.
### Values
- Genomic abstraction as interface structure
- Premium restraint on neutral surfaces
- Cool-color highlights used for state and sequence meaning
- Pixel modularity without game nostalgia
- Scene-first product credibility
### Anti-Values
- Literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule clip art, or science textbook diagrams
- Square-grid backgrounds, default dotted textures, colored side rails, chipped corners, and generic medical SaaS decoration
- Rainbow palette sprawl or color used as garnish
### Visual Character
- White and warm-neutral canvases use layered inset panels with one-pixel cool borders and no repeated square-grid or dotted background texture.
- Gene motifs are built from inline rounded micro-chips, 4px sequence ticks, and short quantized strand segments embedded inside headers, tables, badges, and focus states.
- Large calm product surfaces are interrupted by compact turquoise and indigo highlight islands that mark selections, variants, and confidence without side rails or stripes.
- Cards and controls use smooth continuous radii, fine hairline borders, and shallow blue-tinted shadows so the pixel motif stays precise rather than retro or chunky.
- Motion snaps sequence modules into place with short staggered opacity and translate transitions, suggesting genomic alignment while preserving a premium application feel.
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.

| accent | `#18B7C8` |
| background | `#F8FAFC` |
| border | `#D8E2EC` |
| error | `#D92D20` |
| info | `#2563EB` |
| muted | `#667085` |
| primary | `#2457D6` |
| secondary | `#0F766E` |
| success | `#039855` |

## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `22px`
- **Md**: `14px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: Plain neutral background with occasional localized quantized strand underlays inside hero and summary modules only.
- **Card Style**: Rounded white cards with hairline blue-gray borders, shallow cool shadow, and internal sequence glyph rows used only where data meaning exists.
- **Treatment**: Clean white and mist-neutral product planes with sparse embedded sequence chips; no global grid or dotted pattern.
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: Continuous rounded hairlines in cool blue-gray; accent borders appear as complete focus rings or capsule outlines, never as side rails or card stripes.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Use an application shell with a quiet navigation column, a dominant analysis workspace, and one compact context rail; create asymmetry through scale and embedded sequence primitives rather than equal card stacks.
### Density
Balanced-to-airy density: generous whitespace around major panels, compact micro-density inside sequence rows and variant tables where genomic data needs scannability.
### Hierarchy
Headlines use Sora with tight tracking, body copy uses Inter for product clarity, and IBM Plex Mono labels sequence IDs, variant codes, nucleobase chips, and small confidence metrics.
### Signature Patterns
- Sequence chip rows: inline 18-28px rounded capsules with mono letters or tiny bars create gene-like rhythm inside real controls, never as wallpaper.
- Quantized strand headers: short offset pill segments arc or step through a header module using gradients and transforms rather than literal helix art.
- Variant focus ring: selected cards and inputs receive a complete turquoise halo plus two or three attached micro-chips that read as aligned bases, not colored side stripes.
- Confidence pixel blocks: status and progress are shown through sparse rectangular micro-bars grouped by state, avoiding rainbow scales and generic dashboard gauges.
## 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-019e4bd5-4300-72c1-b511-fc129c51daa5/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 sequence chips to encode state, data identity, or selection order in buttons, badges, tables, and headers.
- Do Keep backgrounds white or soft neutral with cool blue, indigo, green, and turquoise accents limited to meaningful states.
- Do Use complete focus rings, rounded capsules, and fine borders to make the pixel motif premium and product-native.
- Do Make embodiments scene-first with concrete genomics product workflows such as variant review, sample triage, or cohort alignment.
- Don't Do not use literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule clip art, microscope/lab icons as decoration, or science textbook diagrams.
- Don't Do not use square-grid backgrounds, repeated dotted textures, colored side rails, card stripes, uneven borders, or chipped diagonal corners.
- Don't Do not spread into rainbow palettes, neon cyberpunk, retro game pixels, or generic medical SaaS dashboards.
- Don't Do not place sequence marks where they do not communicate structure, selection, confidence, or product state.

# Sequence Chip Product Language shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e4bd5-4300-72c1-b511-fc129c51daa5`
Slug: `sequence-chip-product-language`
## Intent
A clean 2026 product language for genomics-adjacent tools where gene sequences become precise chip-like interface primitives, not lab decoration: small modular marks, quantized strands, and cool controlled highlights organize real product decisions on quiet white surfaces.
## 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
- White and warm-neutral canvases use layered inset panels with one-pixel cool borders and no repeated square-grid or dotted background texture.
- Gene motifs are built from inline rounded micro-chips, 4px sequence ticks, and short quantized strand segments embedded inside headers, tables, badges, and focus states.
- Large calm product surfaces are interrupted by compact turquoise and indigo highlight islands that mark selections, variants, and confidence without side rails or stripes.
- Cards and controls use smooth continuous radii, fine hairline borders, and shallow blue-tinted shadows so the pixel motif stays precise rather than retro or chunky.
- Motion snaps sequence modules into place with short staggered opacity and translate transitions, suggesting genomic alignment while preserving a premium application feel.

]
}
## 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/sequence-chip-product-language/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 sequence chips to encode state, data identity, or selection order in buttons, badges, tables, and headers.; Keep backgrounds white or soft neutral with cool blue, indigo, green, and turquoise accents limited to meaningful states.; Use complete focus rings, rounded capsules, and fine borders to make the pixel motif premium and product-native.; Make embodiments scene-first with concrete genomics product workflows such as variant review, sample triage, or cohort alignment.
- Do not: Do not use literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule clip art, microscope/lab icons as decoration, or science textbook diagrams.; Do not use square-grid backgrounds, repeated dotted textures, colored side rails, card stripes, uneven borders, or chipped diagonal corners.; Do not spread into rainbow palettes, neon cyberpunk, retro game pixels, or generic medical SaaS dashboards.; Do not place sequence marks where they do not communicate structure, selection, confidence, or product state.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
