# Yoake

## Philosophy

A console interface for products kept on watch through the night: floating watch-panes drift over an off-white dawn field, framed by manga title-card crops and boot-log gutters, lit by sparse lavender-cyan haze and tiny green-magenta cursor glints. The signature mechanic is the watch-pane — a squared ink-bordered window with a black title strip that frames every cluster of operational truth.

### Values

- negative space as quiet emotional pressure
- terminal structure over decorative cyberpunk noise
- soft lavender-cyan atmosphere under ink-black authority
- machine-readable labels balanced by human-scale breathing room
- a lonely but polished workstation calm before sunrise

### Anti-Values

- neon arcade cyberpunk saturation
- busy dashboard density that fills every panel
- rounded playful SaaS softness
- photo-real chrome or heavy 3D depth
- anime decoration without functional interface structure

- **Md**: 0 18px 55px rgba(146,153,205,.18)
- **Lg**: 0 44px 120px rgba(82,91,152,.22)

### Spacing

- **Base**: 8px
- **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64,96]

### Surfaces

- **Treatment**: translucent near-white lavender-cyan glass panes over an off-white dawn field with sparse haze
- **Card Style**: squared watch-panes with a 20-24px ink title strip, three square LEDs, 1px ink border, and a faint fog/cyan wash

### Motion

- **Duration**: 180ms
- **Easing**: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.0, 0.0, 1)
- **Philosophy**: restrained boot-sequence flicker and cursor-glint pulses; settled state is the default and renders with no JavaScript; respects prefers-reduced-motion

## Rules

### Composition

Compose like an OVA title card crossed with a console: an off-white dawn field, two or three floating watch-panes as composition frames, one cropped manga title-card window, and thin boot-log overlays in the margins.

### Hierarchy

Compressed uppercase Archivo Narrow for title-card statements, Share Tech Mono for operational truth (paths, timestamps, data), quiet Noto Sans body inside measured panes.

### Density

Low overall density with compact data islands; every technical cluster is surrounded by calm negative space and deliberate empty quadrants.

### Signature

The watch-pane: a squared, 1px ink-bordered window with a solid-ink title strip, three square status LEDs, and a lowercase mono path label, floating over a lavender-cyan glass wash. Supporting mechanics: manga title-card frames with corner annotation brackets, vertical boot-log gutters, double-rule split panes with cyan selection bands, and 8px rectangular green/magenta cursor glints.

## Layout

### Grid

A 12-column desktop field; watch-panes span irregular 3/5/7-column widths with deliberate empty quadrants. Content caps near 1360px and centres on ultra-wide; only the landing hero is full-bleed.

### Whitespace

Dominant and emotional: 32-96px margins, isolated clusters, and unused quadrants carry the watch mood.

### Density

low

### Responsive

Mobile stacks to a single column, hides boot-log gutters and non-essential nav, never overflows horizontally; ultra-wide caps and centres contained content.

### Breakpoints

- **Mobile**: <= 640px
- **Tablet**: 641px - 1024px
- **Desktop**: >= 1025px

## Guidance

### Do

- Keep the dawn field cool and near-white; let ink hairlines define the system.
- Use lavender and cyan as atmosphere behind glass, not as loud brand blocks.
- Align timestamps, labels, and file paths to optical monospace tab stops.
- Crop manga linework asymmetrically so it reads like an OVA title-card fragment with a job to do.
- Keep display headlines compressed, uppercase, and tightly tracked.
- Let empty quadrants stay empty — absence is part of the watch mood.

### Don't

- No neon gradients, holographic clutter, or gamer-cyberpunk glow.
- No rounded friendly-card panes; keep squared hardware edges.
- No single accent edge on a card, no nested panes, no nav trapped in a floating pill.
- No decorative icons filling empty margins; no character-art wallpaper without interface function.
- No green or magenta as broad fills — cursor glints only.

### Accessibility

Body text 17px+; high contrast ink-on-dawn (no light-on-light or dark-on-dark); cyan focus rings on every control; semantic colours paired with an LED dot and a text label, never colour alone; motion gated behind prefers-reduced-motion with a settled no-JS default.

## Imagery Direction

### Pairs With

dawnvapor-cel

### Summary

Cropped anime title-card cels — a lone figure at a dawn window, a quiet skyline, a server aisle — in clean ink linework and flat silhouette fills over lavender-cyan haze, with tiny green/magenta glints. Imagery always reads as a framed title-card fragment, never full character-art wallpaper.

### Subjects

- a lone figure at a wide window over a pre-dawn skyline
- a quiet city skyline in lavender-cyan haze
- a silent server aisle before sunrise
- cropped silhouette portraits in title-card framing

### Usage

Use as the landing hero and as cropped manga-frame windows inside watch-panes; keep deep negative space for overlay headlines; never tile as a background or use as decorative wallpaper.

### Density

Low overall density with compact data islands; every technical cluster is surrounded by calm negative space and deliberate empty quadrants.

### Signature

The watch-pane: a squared, 1px ink-bordered window with a solid-ink title strip, three square status LEDs, and a lowercase mono path label, floating over a lavender-cyan glass wash. Supporting mechanics: manga title-card frames with corner annotation brackets, vertical boot-log gutters, double-rule split panes with cyan selection bands, and 8px rectangular green/magenta cursor glints.

## 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-019ef851-277e-7f60-bbb7-9eda9e0eb0cc/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 Keep the dawn field cool and near-white; let ink hairlines define the system.
- Do Use lavender and cyan as atmosphere behind glass, not as loud brand blocks.
- Do Align timestamps, labels, and file paths to optical monospace tab stops.
- Do Crop manga linework asymmetrically so it reads like an OVA title-card fragment with a job to do.
- Do Keep display headlines compressed, uppercase, and tightly tracked.
- Do Let empty quadrants stay empty — absence is part of the watch mood.
- Don't No neon gradients, holographic clutter, or gamer-cyberpunk glow.
- Don't No rounded friendly-card panes; keep squared hardware edges.
- Don't No single accent edge on a card, no nested panes, no nav trapped in a floating pill.
- Don't No decorative icons filling empty margins; no character-art wallpaper without interface function.
- Don't No green or magenta as broad fills — cursor glints only.

### Accessibility

Body text 17px+; high contrast ink-on-dawn (no light-on-light or dark-on-dark); cyan focus rings on every control; semantic colours paired with an LED dot and a text label, never colour alone; motion gated behind prefers-reduced-motion with a settled no-JS default.

## Imagery Direction

### Pairs With

dawnvapor-cel

### Summary

Cropped anime title-card cels — a lone figure at a dawn window, a quiet skyline, a server aisle — in clean ink linework and flat silhouette fills over lavender-cyan haze, with tiny green/magenta glints. Imagery always reads as a framed title-card fragment, never full character-art wallpaper.

### Subjects

- a lone figure at a wide window over a pre-dawn skyline
- a quiet city skyline in lavender-cyan haze
- a silent server aisle before sunrise
- cropped silhouette portraits in title-card framing

### Usage

Use as the landing hero and as cropped manga-frame windows inside watch-panes; keep deep negative space for overlay headlines; never tile as a background or use as decorative wallpaper.
