guidance
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.
avoid
  • 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.

# 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.

## 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`.

## Token cues

Colors:

{
  "accent": "#18B7C8",
  "background": "#F8FAFC",
  "border": "#D8E2EC",
  "error": "#D92D20",
  "info": "#2563EB",
  "muted": "#667085",
  "primary": "#2457D6",
  "secondary": "#0F766E",
  "success": "#039855",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#0E1726",
  "warning": "#DC8A00"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Inter",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Sora:wght@500;600;700&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Sora",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.018em",
  "line_height": 1.5,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## 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.

## ShadSync visual profile

  "family": "paper-collage",

    "secondary",
    "muted"
  ]
}

## 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.
