rules
Use a civic market grid: broad neutral work areas, narrow provenance rails, and high-chroma tokens isolated into tabs, badges, charts, and decisive actions.
Balanced enterprise density with generous section gaps, compact tables, and touch-safe controls that keep saturated accents from becoming visual noise.
Lead with serif editorial headings, support with Noto Sans product copy, and reserve mono labels for source, contrast, ramp, and token metadata.
layout
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px, wide 1440px
12-column desktop grid with 72px margins; tablet collapses to 6 columns and mobile to one column with preserved provenance rails.
Whitespace is warm and deliberate: 24px inside cards, 48px between sections, with tighter 12px rhythm inside dense data rows.
guidance
- Document the source category and allowed use for every editorial alias.
- Pair saturated accents with cream or ink neutrals to maintain WCAG 2.2 contrast.
- Use chart colors in ordered ramps with colorblind-safe shape or label redundancy.
- Adapt dark mode by lowering large-fill chroma and retaining bright accents for state.
- Do not combine unrelated regional cues just because they feel colorful.
- Do not use pigment accents for long paragraphs or low-contrast placeholder text.
- Do not imitate sacred, ceremonial, or protected patterns as UI decoration.
- Do not let gradients blur provenance; keep ramps named and auditable.

# Market Kiln Chroma
## Philosophy
A production-ready palette language that translates local material cues—kiln glaze, produce stalls, civic enamel signage, and festival pigment—into documented digital color tokens without flattening culture into decoration.
### Values
- provenance before novelty
- neutral scaffolding for high-chroma accents
- accessibility as a cultural respect practice
- semantic tokens that can survive product scale
### Anti-Values
- random exotic color mixing detached from source context
- using saturated cultural cues as body text or critical-state colors
- decorative motifs that imitate sacred or protected visual traditions
### Visual Character
- Warm limestone and rice-paper neutrals carry most surfaces, with restrained ceramic blue, lacquer red, turmeric ochre, and market green reserved for semantic accents and editorial modules.
- Cards use squared civic-signage geometry softened by kiln-glaze corner radii, thin enamel borders, and one offset pigment underlay rather than ornamental patterning.
- Typography pairs legible Noto Sans interface text with Noto Serif display headings and compact IBM Plex Mono provenance labels to make token documentation visible in the UI.
- Dark mode inverts to ink-charcoal surfaces with muted glaze accents, preserving contrast by lowering chroma on large fills and keeping bright pigment for focus, chart, and call-to-action states.

## Rules
### Composition
Use a civic market grid: broad neutral work areas, narrow provenance rails, and high-chroma tokens isolated into tabs, badges, charts, and decisive actions.
### Density
Balanced enterprise density with generous section gaps, compact tables, and touch-safe controls that keep saturated accents from becoming visual noise.
### Hierarchy
Lead with serif editorial headings, support with Noto Sans product copy, and reserve mono labels for source, contrast, ramp, and token metadata.
### Signature Patterns
- Offset pigment underlay: key cards and buttons expose a 2 to 4 pixel translated ochre or red layer beneath a neutral face.
- Provenance rail: a left or top mini-column of mono labels documents primitive, alias, contrast ratio, and allowed cultural cue usage.
- Glaze chip ramp: semantic color ramps appear as small rounded swatches clipped into card corners instead of full decorative bands.
- Civic enamel focus: keyboard focus uses a double ring of dark ink plus ceramic blue, ensuring visible contrast on light and dark surfaces.
## Layout
### Breakpoints
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px, wide 1440px
### Grid
12-column desktop grid with 72px margins; tablet collapses to 6 columns and mobile to one column with preserved provenance rails.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is warm and deliberate: 24px inside cards, 48px between sections, with tighter 12px rhythm inside dense data rows.
## Guidance
### Do
- Document the source category and allowed use for every editorial alias.
- Pair saturated accents with cream or ink neutrals to maintain WCAG 2.2 contrast.
- Use chart colors in ordered ramps with colorblind-safe shape or label redundancy.
- Adapt dark mode by lowering large-fill chroma and retaining bright accents for state.
### Don't
- Do not combine unrelated regional cues just because they feel colorful.
- Do not use pigment accents for long paragraphs or low-contrast placeholder text.
- Do not imitate sacred, ceremonial, or protected patterns as UI decoration.
- Do not let gradients blur provenance; keep ramps named and auditable.

## 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-019ea9b2-d582-7ba0-ab3c-d2ea04c611a9/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 Document the source category and allowed use for every editorial alias.
- Do Pair saturated accents with cream or ink neutrals to maintain WCAG 2.2 contrast.
- Do Use chart colors in ordered ramps with colorblind-safe shape or label redundancy.
- Do Adapt dark mode by lowering large-fill chroma and retaining bright accents for state.
- Don't Do not combine unrelated regional cues just because they feel colorful.
- Don't Do not use pigment accents for long paragraphs or low-contrast placeholder text.
- Don't Do not imitate sacred, ceremonial, or protected patterns as UI decoration.
- Don't Do not let gradients blur provenance; keep ramps named and auditable.

# Market Kiln Chroma shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ea9b2-d582-7ba0-ab3c-d2ea04c611a9`
Slug: `market-kiln-chroma`
## Intent
A production-ready palette language that translates local material cues—kiln glaze, produce stalls, civic enamel signage, and festival pigment—into documented digital color tokens without flattening culture into 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": "#D99A2B",
"background": "#F7F0E4",
"border": "#C9B79C",
"dark_background": "#151413",
"dark_surface": "#211F1B",
"dark_text": "#F4EBDD",
"error": "#A63A32",
"info": "#2E6E9E",
"muted": "#736B5F",
"primary": "#1F6F78",
"secondary": "#B94732",
"success": "#3E7D52",
"surface": "#FFF9EE",
"surface_alt": "#EEE0CB",
"text": "#25201A",
"warning": "#B56F19"
}
Typography:
{
"body": "Noto Sans",
"display": "Noto Serif",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@500;600&family=Noto+Sans:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Noto+Serif:wght@600;700&display=swap",
"mono": "IBM Plex Mono",
"scale": {
"2xl": "2rem",
"3xl": "3rem",
"4xl": "4rem",
"base": "1rem",
"lg": "1.125rem",
"sm": "0.875rem",
"xl": "1.5rem",
"xs": "0.75rem"
},
"tracking": "-0.015em"
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Warm limestone and rice-paper neutrals carry most surfaces, with restrained ceramic blue, lacquer red, turmeric ochre, and market green reserved for semantic accents and editorial modules.
- Cards use squared civic-signage geometry softened by kiln-glaze corner radii, thin enamel borders, and one offset pigment underlay rather than ornamental patterning.
- Typography pairs legible Noto Sans interface text with Noto Serif display headings and compact IBM Plex Mono provenance labels to make token documentation visible in the UI.
- Dark mode inverts to ink-charcoal surfaces with muted glaze accents, preserving contrast by lowering chroma on large fills and keeping bright pigment for focus, chart, and call-to-action states.
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "paper-collage",
"material": "paper",
"contour": "default",
"border": "solid",
"underlay": true,
"grain": true,
"stickerBadges": false,
"motion": "lift",
"density": "dense",
"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/market-kiln-chroma/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: Document the source category and allowed use for every editorial alias.; Pair saturated accents with cream or ink neutrals to maintain WCAG 2.2 contrast.; Use chart colors in ordered ramps with colorblind-safe shape or label redundancy.; Adapt dark mode by lowering large-fill chroma and retaining bright accents for state.
- Do not: Do not combine unrelated regional cues just because they feel colorful.; Do not use pigment accents for long paragraphs or low-contrast placeholder text.; Do not imitate sacred, ceremonial, or protected patterns as UI decoration.; Do not let gradients blur provenance; keep ramps named and auditable.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
