composition
Use a calm product workspace: a dominant strand-analysis panel, a narrower decision rail, and a compositional break where a stepped genomic connector crosses between content groups.
density

Balanced premium density: spacious cards and page margins with very compact mono sequence rows and small nucleobase chips for data-rich details.

hierarchy
Primary actions and selected variants receive compact indigo/turquoise pixel chips, while headings stay black and large surfaces remain white so color carries state rather than decoration.
signature patterns
Quantized strand paths appear as short stepped SVG connectors with rounded rectangular chips placed at meaningful turns, used in hero panels, tabs, and empty states.Nucleobase micro-tags use Chivo Mono, 5px radius, and limited cool fills to label variants, table cells, badges, and selected form options without becoming game pixels.Active cards use a full perimeter indigo focus ring plus an interior cluster of three sequence chips, avoiding colored side rails while making state unmistakable.Data tables group rows by tiny sequence-block clusters and allele labels, with generous row height and hairline dividers instead of dashboard stripes.
layout
breakpoints

Mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px and above with max content width around 1240px.

grid

Asymmetric 12-column desktop system with 7/5 content split; tablet stacks into two bands and mobile becomes a single narrative column.

whitespace

Large 48-64px outer whitespace contrasts with 4-8px sequence chip gaps so the genomic detail feels precise and premium.

guidance
do
  • Use pixel-like modularity only as sequence chips, quantized strand bends, data pixels, or compact genomic state labels.
  • Keep the palette limited to indigo, turquoise, and one green success tone on white or neutral surfaces.
  • Make every accent mark explain selection, sequence position, confidence, or workflow progress.
avoid
  • Do not use literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule decorations, lab stock icons, square grid backgrounds, or dotted texture fields.
  • Do not add decorative side rails, colored card stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, rainbow palettes, or neon cyberpunk effects.
  • Do not present the system as a generic analytics dashboard or science textbook page; keep it a polished product workspace.

# Quantized Genome Product UI

## Philosophy

A white, premium product interface where gene sequencing becomes a precise system of tiny rounded chips, stepped connector strands, and nucleobase tags that organize decisions without turning into biotech clip art.

### Values

- clinical restraint without medical SaaS clichés
- pixel-like genomic modularity used as structure
- Apple-clean surfaces with crisp authored details
- limited cool highlights with functional hierarchy

### Anti-Values

- literal helix wallpaper, molecule ornaments, or science textbook diagrams
- square grid backgrounds, dotted default texture, side-rail color garnish, and arbitrary colored stripes
- retro game pixel skins or neon cyberpunk genomics

### Visual Character

- Use mostly white and warm-white surfaces with one-pixel cool hairline borders, large quiet margins, and no repeated background grid or dot texture.
- Build the genomic motif from small rounded rectangular sequence chips arranged on stepped SVG connector paths and inline metadata rows, never as a full-wall DNA illustration.
- Apply a single committed 18px radius geometry to cards and controls while sequence chips use 5px radii, making macro surfaces soft and micro genetics crisp.
- Create hierarchy with spacious product panels, compact mono sequence labels, and turquoise-to-indigo active pixels that appear only on selected or meaningful states.

### Signature Patterns

- Quantized strand paths appear as short stepped SVG connectors with rounded rectangular chips placed at meaningful turns, used in hero panels, tabs, and empty states.
- Nucleobase micro-tags use Chivo Mono, 5px radius, and limited cool fills to label variants, table cells, badges, and selected form options without becoming game pixels.
- Active cards use a full perimeter indigo focus ring plus an interior cluster of three sequence chips, avoiding colored side rails while making state unmistakable.
- Data tables group rows by tiny sequence-block clusters and allele labels, with generous row height and hairline dividers instead of dashboard stripes.

## Layout

### Breakpoints

Mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px and above with max content width around 1240px.

### Grid

Asymmetric 12-column desktop system with 7/5 content split; tablet stacks into two bands and mobile becomes a single narrative column.

### Whitespace

Large 48-64px outer whitespace contrasts with 4-8px sequence chip gaps so the genomic detail feels precise and premium.

## Guidance

### Do

- Use pixel-like modularity only as sequence chips, quantized strand bends, data pixels, or compact genomic state labels.
- Keep the palette limited to indigo, turquoise, and one green success tone on white or neutral surfaces.

## 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-019e4c10-1d74-79f3-8845-181e496d2054/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 pixel-like modularity only as sequence chips, quantized strand bends, data pixels, or compact genomic state labels.
- Do Keep the palette limited to indigo, turquoise, and one green success tone on white or neutral surfaces.
- Do Make every accent mark explain selection, sequence position, confidence, or workflow progress.
- Don't Do not use literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule decorations, lab stock icons, square grid backgrounds, or dotted texture fields.
- Don't Do not add decorative side rails, colored card stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, rainbow palettes, or neon cyberpunk effects.
- Don't Do not present the system as a generic analytics dashboard or science textbook page; keep it a polished product workspace.

# Quantized Genome Product UI shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019e4c10-1d74-79f3-8845-181e496d2054`
Slug: `quantized-genome-product-ui`

## Intent

A white, premium product interface where gene sequencing becomes a precise system of tiny rounded chips, stepped connector strands, and nucleobase tags that organize decisions without turning into biotech clip art.

## 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": "#35C7D6",
  "background": "#F8FAFC",
  "border": "#DDE7F0",
  "error": "#C2414B",
  "info": "#246BFE",
  "muted": "#64748B",
  "primary": "#1557D6",
  "secondary": "#0E8A7A",
  "success": "#12836F",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#111827",
  "warning": "#B7791F"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Noto Sans",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Afacad:wght@500;600;700&family=Noto+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Chivo+Mono:wght@400;500;600&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Afacad",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "line_height": 1.5,
  "mono_font": "Chivo Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.24
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Use mostly white and warm-white surfaces with one-pixel cool hairline borders, large quiet margins, and no repeated background grid or dot texture.
- Build the genomic motif from small rounded rectangular sequence chips arranged on stepped SVG connector paths and inline metadata rows, never as a full-wall DNA illustration.
- Apply a single committed 18px radius geometry to cards and controls while sequence chips use 5px radii, making macro surfaces soft and micro genetics crisp.
- Create hierarchy with spacious product panels, compact mono sequence labels, and turquoise-to-indigo active pixels that appear only on selected or meaningful states.

}

## 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/quantized-genome-product-ui/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 pixel-like modularity only as sequence chips, quantized strand bends, data pixels, or compact genomic state labels.; Keep the palette limited to indigo, turquoise, and one green success tone on white or neutral surfaces.; Make every accent mark explain selection, sequence position, confidence, or workflow progress.
- Do not: Do not use literal DNA helix wallpaper, molecule decorations, lab stock icons, square grid backgrounds, or dotted texture fields.; Do not add decorative side rails, colored card stripes, chipped corners, uneven borders, rainbow palettes, or neon cyberpunk effects.; Do not present the system as a generic analytics dashboard or science textbook page; keep it a polished product workspace.

## Copy-paste component example

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

## Layout notes

{
  "breakpoints": "Mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px and above with max content width around 1240px.",
  "grid": "Asymmetric 12-column desktop system with 7/5 content split; tablet stacks into two bands and mobile becomes a single narrative column.",
  "whitespace": "Large 48-64px outer whitespace contrasts with 4-8px sequence chip gaps so the genomic detail feels precise and premium."
