guidance
do
  • Use indigo for depth/selection, turquoise for active data edges, and lime only for verified or newly changed micro-states.
  • Keep pixel type to labels, counters, badges, and code-like annotations; use Inter for body text and Space Grotesk for premium headings.
  • Make pixel motifs functional: sequence, status, focus, loading, version, freshness, and verification.
  • Default to clean white/neutral surfaces with no dotted texture and never square-grid backgrounds.
avoid
  • Do not use decorative side rails, left stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, or arbitrary mixed radii.
  • Do not turn the system into retro arcade, Minecraft/block overload, terminal hacker UI, or neon cyberpunk.
  • Do not use generic dashboard chart panels as the main proof; prefer workflow, data operations, and product state scenes.
  • Do not add rainbow sprawl or warm accent colors outside true error and warning semantics.

# Indigo Turquoise Pixel Data Product Language

## Philosophy

A premium product UI language where white Apple-like surfaces are organized by indigo depth, turquoise live-data edges, and tiny lime verification pixels. Pixel forms act as registers, sequence marks, counters, and focus states rather than nostalgic game decoration.

### Values

- Cool-electric color discipline with indigo and turquoise as the primary relationship
- Pixel motifs that encode status, order, and precision instead of ornament
- Readable premium typography with pixel-influenced accents only at labels and numerals
- Calm white/neutral product surfaces that make data states feel exact and trustworthy

### Anti-Values

- No square-grid backgrounds, default dotted textures, arcade skins, or terminal hacker clichés
- No side rails/card stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, or color garnish detached from meaning
- No rainbow palette or unrelated warm accents except semantic warning/error states

### Visual Character

- White and near-white surfaces use broad 18px rounded rectangles, one-pixel neutral hairlines, and soft downward shadows to preserve an Apple-like product feel.
- Indigo appears as compressed header capsules, selected text, and deep inline data wells while turquoise is reserved for live borders, focus rings, and connected sequence paths.
- Tiny 3px and 6px square pixel registers sit inside badges, progress steps, counters, and button state indicators, never as a repeated background grid.
- Pixel-influenced typography is limited to uppercase labels, short code annotations, badge counters, and display numerals while body copy stays in a polished geometric sans.
- Lime/yellow-green is used only for verified, ready, or newly changed states as small luminous squares, ticks, and numeric deltas against the cool indigo-cyan system.

# Indigo Turquoise Pixel Data Product Language

## Overview

A premium product UI language where white Apple-like surfaces are organized by indigo depth, turquoise live-data edges, and tiny lime verification pixels. Pixel forms act as registers, sequence marks, counters, and focus states rather than nostalgic game decoration.

### Values

- Cool-electric color discipline with indigo and turquoise as the primary relationship
- Pixel motifs that encode status, order, and precision instead of ornament
- Readable premium typography with pixel-influenced accents only at labels and numerals
- Calm white/neutral product surfaces that make data states feel exact and trustworthy

### Anti-Values

- No square-grid backgrounds, default dotted textures, arcade skins, or terminal hacker clichés
- No side rails/card stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, or color garnish detached from meaning
- No rainbow palette or unrelated warm accents except semantic warning/error states

### Visual Character

- White and near-white surfaces use broad 18px rounded rectangles, one-pixel neutral hairlines, and soft downward shadows to preserve an Apple-like product feel.
- Indigo appears as compressed header capsules, selected text, and deep inline data wells while turquoise is reserved for live borders, focus rings, and connected sequence paths.
- Tiny 3px and 6px square pixel registers sit inside badges, progress steps, counters, and button state indicators, never as a repeated background grid.
- Pixel-influenced typography is limited to uppercase labels, short code annotations, badge counters, and display numerals while body copy stays in a polished geometric sans.
- Lime/yellow-green is used only for verified, ready, or newly changed states as small luminous squares, ticks, and numeric deltas against the cool indigo-cyan system.

## Colors

### Grid

Asymmetric product workspace: 12-column desktop with a 280px context column and fluid main canvas; tablet collapses to two stacked zones; mobile becomes a single-column task rail.

### Whitespace

Outer whitespace is generous and neutral; internal rhythm uses 8px increments with 24px panel padding and compact 8px pixel-register gaps.

## Shapes

### Rounded

- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `18px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **None**: `0px`

- **Treatment**: clean white and mist-neutral planes with no dotted or square-grid background; depth comes from hairlines, inset cyan glows, and measured shadows

### Borders

- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: committed single-geometry hairlines with turquoise focus outlines and tiny inset pixel nodes rather than uneven or chipped edges
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid

## Components

### Composition

Use spacious product-shell layouts with a white hero workspace, indigo navigation capsules, and turquoise sequence connectors embedded within task flows rather than generic dashboard chart walls.

### Density

Balanced product density: roomy outer whitespace, compact data modules, and scannable rows with 12-16px gaps so pixel detail reads as precision rather than clutter.

### Hierarchy

Headlines use Space Grotesk weight and size contrast; operational metadata uses Handjet in short uppercase bursts; important state is communicated by placement, label, and pixel register count before color.

### Signature Patterns

- Pixel register strips: short inline runs of 3px or 6px squares inside badges, toggles, and rows communicate stage, freshness, or verification without becoming a background grid.
- Turquoise live edge: active inputs, selected tabs, and draggable modules use a 2px cyan outline plus a tiny corner pixel node instead of side rails or colored stripes.
- Indigo data wells: high-priority summaries use rounded indigo capsules with white text, Handjet numerals, and lime verification pixels for ready states.
- Sequence bead connectors: multi-step product flows connect modules with slim cyan lines and isolated square beads, avoiding chart-like dashboard tropes.
- Pixel numerals as accents: counters and deltas use Handjet with generous tracking while all body and explanatory text remains Inter for premium readability.

## 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-019e4bf6-d397-7a11-ac6b-49798ba839ed/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 indigo for depth/selection, turquoise for active data edges, and lime only for verified or newly changed micro-states.
- Do Keep pixel type to labels, counters, badges, and code-like annotations; use Inter for body text and Space Grotesk for premium headings.
- Do Make pixel motifs functional: sequence, status, focus, loading, version, freshness, and verification.
- Do Default to clean white/neutral surfaces with no dotted texture and never square-grid backgrounds.
- Don't Do not use decorative side rails, left stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, or arbitrary mixed radii.
- Don't Do not turn the system into retro arcade, Minecraft/block overload, terminal hacker UI, or neon cyberpunk.
- Don't Do not use generic dashboard chart panels as the main proof; prefer workflow, data operations, and product state scenes.
- Don't Do not add rainbow sprawl or warm accent colors outside true error and warning semantics.

# Indigo Turquoise Pixel Data Product Language shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e4bf6-d397-7a11-ac6b-49798ba839ed`
Slug: `indigo-turquoise-pixel-data-product-language`

## Intent

A premium product UI language where white Apple-like surfaces are organized by indigo depth, turquoise live-data edges, and tiny lime verification pixels. Pixel forms act as registers, sequence marks, counters, and focus states rather than 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": "#C8FF2E",
  "background": "#F7F9FC",
  "border": "#D8E1EC",
  "error": "#D92D20",
  "info": "#0BA5EC",
  "muted": "#667085",
  "primary": "#2B2FAE",
  "secondary": "#00B8D9",
  "success": "#12B76A",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#101828",
  "warning": "#F79009"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Inter",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700;800&family=Space+Grotesk:wght@500;600;700&family=Handjet:wght@500;600;700&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Space Grotesk",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "line_height": 1.5,
  "mono_font": "Handjet",
  "scale_ratio": 1.25
}

## Visual character to preserve

- White and near-white surfaces use broad 18px rounded rectangles, one-pixel neutral hairlines, and soft downward shadows to preserve an Apple-like product feel.
- Indigo appears as compressed header capsules, selected text, and deep inline data wells while turquoise is reserved for live borders, focus rings, and connected sequence paths.
- Tiny 3px and 6px square pixel registers sit inside badges, progress steps, counters, and button state indicators, never as a repeated background grid.
- Pixel-influenced typography is limited to uppercase labels, short code annotations, badge counters, and display numerals while body copy stays in a polished geometric sans.
- Lime/yellow-green is used only for verified, ready, or newly changed states as small luminous squares, ticks, and numeric deltas against the cool indigo-cyan system.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "system",
  "material": "flat",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": false,
  "grain": false,
  "stickerBadges": true,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "balanced",
  "accents": [
    "primary",
    "accent",
    "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/indigo-turquoise-pixel-data-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 indigo for depth/selection, turquoise for active data edges, and lime only for verified or newly changed micro-states.; Keep pixel type to labels, counters, badges, and code-like annotations; use Inter for body text and Space Grotesk for premium headings.; Make pixel motifs functional: sequence, status, focus, loading, version, freshness, and verification.; Default to clean white/neutral surfaces with no dotted texture and never square-grid backgrounds.
- Do not: Do not use decorative side rails, left stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, or arbitrary mixed radii.; Do not turn the system into retro arcade, Minecraft/block overload, terminal hacker UI, or neon cyberpunk.; Do not use generic dashboard chart panels as the main proof; prefer workflow, data operations, and product state scenes.; Do not add rainbow sprawl or warm accent colors outside true error and warning semantics.

## Copy-paste component example

This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.

  "grid": "Asymmetric product workspace: 12-column desktop with a 280px context column and fluid main canvas; tablet collapses to two stacked zones; mobile becomes a single-column task rail.",
  "whitespace": "Outer whitespace is generous and neutral; internal rhythm uses 8px increments with 24px panel padding and compact 8px pixel-register gaps."
