Panel Pop Command Line

# Panel Pop Command Line

## Philosophy

A postmodern agent workspace where manga panel logic, terminal command semantics, and Memphis quotation are disciplined into a usable black-and-white product interface. It treats color as signage: small geometric alerts, route markers, and editorial stickers interrupt an otherwise inky operating surface.

### Values

- pluralism with a grid
- semantic ornament
- legible theatricality
- manga pacing for software states
- terminal precision over sci-fi glow

### Anti-Values

- generic holographic AI gradients
- confetti color without product meaning
- soft SaaS neutrality
- decorative collage that obscures action
- fake nostalgia without interaction rules

### Visual Character

- Use heavy two-pixel black borders, square corners, and offset duplicate panels to create manga frame depth without soft shadows.
- Divide screens into asymmetrical comic panels with thick gutters, diagonal corner tabs, and command-line headers locked to a strict twelve-column grid.
- Apply cyan, magenta, acid yellow, and cobalt only as small geometric labels, status ticks, link rails, and warning stickers on monochrome surfaces.
- Layer halftone dot fields, speed-line hatching, and Memphis squiggle masks as clipped surface underlays at low opacity, never as full-page decoration.
- Render interactive states as terminal prompts and speech-bubble callouts: focus brackets, caret blocks, stamped badges, and monospace command captions.

## Tokens

### Borders

- **Accent Width**: 4px
- **Character**: inked comic frame borders, square joins, and bracketed focus outlines
- **Default Width**: 2px
- **Style**: solid with occasional dashed internal separators

### Colors

| Name | Value |
|------|-------|
| accent | `#FF3FA4` |
| background | `#F4F0E6` |
| border | `#050505` |
| error | `#FF3FA4` |
| info | `#245BFF` |

### Radii

- **Full**: 9999px
- **Lg**: 0
- **Md**: 0
- **None**: 0
- **Sm**: 0

### Shadows

- **Lg**: 10px 10px 0 #050505
- **Md**: 6px 6px 0 #050505
- **Sm**: 3px 3px 0 #050505

### Spacing

- **Base**: 8px
- **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64]

### Surfaces

- **Bg Pattern**: cream manga paper with sparse halftone islands and thin terminal scanline rules
- **Card Style**: white or charcoal rectangular panels with 2px ink border, offset duplicate edge, and a small semantic geometry tab
- **Treatment**: flat manga paper and terminal charcoal panels with clipped halftone or hatch underlays

### Typography

- **Base Size**: 16px
- **Body Font**: IBM Plex Sans
- **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Bricolage+Grotesque:wght@600;700;800&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap
- **Heading Font**: Bricolage Grotesque
- **Letter Spacing**: -0.015em
- **Line Height**: 1.48
- **Mono Font**: IBM Plex Mono
- **Scale Ratio**: 1.22

## Rules

### Composition

Build screens as a controlled comic spread: one dominant command panel, two or three supporting status panels, and gutters that act as reading order rather than empty whitespace.

### Density

Moderately dense like an editor console: compact rows and chips are allowed, but every cluster needs a gutter, caption, or panel edge to preserve scanability.

### Hierarchy

Headlines use compressed grotesque weight and manga label bars; operational details use monospace prompts, bracketed metadata, and high-contrast stamps for urgent states.

### Signature Patterns

- Panel-offset shadows: every important surface gets a 4 to 8 pixel black duplicate translated down-right instead of blur.
- Semantic Memphis tabs: small cyan circles, magenta lozenges, yellow triangles, and cobalt rails indicate status, danger, queue, or navigation.
- Manga texture masks: halftone dots and speed-line hatching are clipped inside cards, headers, and empty states at restrained opacity.
- Terminal speech prompts: inputs and callouts begin with a visible command glyph, block caret, or bracket code that clarifies the next action.
- Quotation labels: historical poster-like captions and torn sticker badges are used for section names, not random decoration.

## Layout

### Breakpoints

desktop 1200px uses command spread; tablet 768px stacks primary panel over two-column support; mobile 375px becomes a vertical manga strip with sticky command bar.

### Grid

Twelve-column desktop spread with thick 16px gutters; panels may span irregular widths but align their outer ink frames to the grid.

### Whitespace

Whitespace is treated as comic gutter and terminal breathing room: cream gaps separate scenes, while interior padding stays compact and rectangular.

## Guidance

### Do

- Use black and white as the default interface material and reserve color for semantic geometry.
- Let panel shape, gutters, tabs, and captions create hierarchy before adding illustration.
- Keep controls square, bordered, and visibly interactive through bracketed focus and offset states.
- Write real product labels: queues, diffs, agent runs, logs, locks, and review states.

### Don't

- Do not add neon gradients, glassmorphism, or generic cyberpunk glow.
- Do not scatter Memphis shapes without assigning status, navigation, warning, or editorial meaning.
- Do not round cards into soft SaaS bubbles; speech bubbles should be rare callouts with squared tails.
- Do not let manga texture reduce text contrast or crowd data tables.

# Panel Pop Command Line

## 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-019e89c9-f306-7612-adc0-75fe15a3bd8a/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.
