A portable design language for agents: download the markdown first, then inspect the preview, tokens, and rules as needed.
Portable DESIGN.md source of truth for most agents and apps.
Compose pages as editorial investigations on a visible multicolumn grid: a headline deck, an evidence-led hero, telemetry summaries, analytical sidebars, and dossier data modules — never a component inventory.
Condensed uppercase display for navigation, labels, and numbers; serif for summaries, notes, and long-form reading; monospace for metadata overlines and index codes.
High density, never crowded: every zone layers information separated by hairline rules, mono labels, spacing bands, and contrast shifts rather than empty whitespace.
Every major module is a plot-board dossier: heavy left accent rail + thin inset perimeter + corner monospace index code + a faint reticle/crosshair overlay; section headers carry a mono overline, a condensed uppercase title, and a trailing rule across the grid.
A 12-column desktop editorial grid with persistent gutters, collapsing to a single-column stack on mobile; key modules span 3, 4, 6, or 8 columns to keep publication rhythm.
Calibrated bands between sections and within panels — magazine pacing, not airy app minimalism; tight internal clusters balanced by strong outer margins.
Information-forward; layered rather than spaced out.
Full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content caps and centres on ultra-wide; grids use minmax(0,1fr) and min-width:0 children so they never overflow; mobile hides non-essential nav links and table columns.
azimuth
Subjects reconstructed as glowing electric-cyan and warm amber vector contour lines and faceted wireframe planes over a matte graphite field, with a thin plotting grid, concentric radar reticles, a crosshair, and amber registration ticks framing the subject like telemetry tracking a target.
One full-bleed landing hero in the Azimuth technique; selected feature/illustration slots reuse the wireframe-plot treatment. Swappable via background-image: var(--hero-image).
# Apogee ## Philosophy Apogee is mission-grade systems journalism: a dark, information-forward publishing system that treats every screen as a page from a future-facing investigative magazine — annotated, gridded, evidence-led — yet disciplined enough that long-form reading and live telemetry scanning coexist on one plotting surface. Its ownable mechanic is the plot-board dossier panel: a heavy left accent rail, a corner index code, and a faint reticle overlay that tracks each module like a target. ### Values - Editorial legibility under data density - Worldbuilding through structured annotation - Cinematic futurism constrained by publishing discipline - High-contrast accessibility on a dark ground ### Anti-Values - Pure neon spectacle without a reading hierarchy - Soft consumer-SaaS minimalism that erases narrative texture - Chaotic cyberpunk clutter with no rational grid ## Tokens ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | bg | `#070b11` | | surface | `#111923` | | surface_2 | `#0c121a` | | text | `#edf3f7` | | muted | `#8e9aa7` | | border | `#26323e` | | accent | `#7ce7ff` | | on_accent | `#04121a` | | amber | `#ffb86b` | | rose | `#ff6b8f` | | success | `#79e2a2` | | warning | `#f3c969` | | error | `#ff6b6b` | | info | `#69c8ff` | ### Typography - **Base Size**: 18px - **Body Font**: Cormorant Garamond - **Heading Font**: Barlow Condensed - **Mono Font**: Space Mono - **Heading Weight**: 700 - **Heading Transform**: uppercase - **Letter Spacing**: 0.005em - **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Barlow+Condensed:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Cormorant+Garamond:ital,wght@0,400;0,500;0,600;1,400;1,500&family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap ### Radii - **None**: 0 - **Soft**: 16px - **Card**: 24px - **Full**: 9999px ### Shadows - **Sm**: 0 0 0 1px rgba(124,231,255,.06),0 10px 26px rgba(0,0,0,.34) - **Md**: 0 0 0 1px rgba(124,231,255,.09),0 18px 44px rgba(0,0,0,.42) - **Lg**: 0 0 0 1px rgba(124,231,255,.13),0 28px 76px rgba(0,0,0,.5) ### Spacing - **Base**: 8px - **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64] ### Surfaces - **Treatment**: gradient - **Card Style**: Matte graphite dossier panels with a subtle top-to-bottom tonal gradient, a hairline inset perimeter, a heavy left accent rail keyed to a colour role, a corner monospace index code, and an optional faint reticle overlay. - **Bg Pattern**: grid ### Borders - **Default Width**: 1px - **Accent Width**: 5px - **Style**: solid - **Character**: Thin cool-toned drafting rules;

# Apogee
## Overview
Apogee is mission-grade systems journalism: a dark, information-forward publishing system that treats every screen as a page from a future-facing investigative magazine — annotated, gridded, evidence-led — yet disciplined enough that long-form reading and live telemetry scanning coexist on one plotting surface. Its ownable mechanic is the plot-board dossier panel: a heavy left accent rail, a corner index code, and a faint reticle overlay that tracks each module like a target.
### Values
- Editorial legibility under data density
- Worldbuilding through structured annotation
- Cinematic futurism constrained by publishing discipline
- High-contrast accessibility on a dark ground
### Anti-Values
- Pure neon spectacle without a reading hierarchy
- Soft consumer-SaaS minimalism that erases narrative texture
- Chaotic cyberpunk clutter with no rational grid
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| bg | `#070b11` |
| surface | `#111923` |
| surface_2 | `#0c121a` |
| text | `#edf3f7` |
| muted | `#8e9aa7` |
| border | `#26323e` |
| accent | `#7ce7ff` |
| on_accent | `#04121a` |
| amber | `#ffb86b` |
| rose | `#ff6b8f` |
| success | `#79e2a2` |
| warning | `#f3c969` |
| error | `#ff6b6b` |
| info | `#69c8ff` |
## Typography
- **Headline-Lg**: Barlow Condensed, 2.197rem, weight 700, line-height 1.1.
- **Headline-Md**: Barlow Condensed, 1.758rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: Cormorant Garamond, 18px, weight 400, line-height 1.5.
- **Label-Md**: Space Mono, 0.75rem, weight 600, line-height 1.
## Layout
### Spacing Tokens
- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `4px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **Lg**: `16px`
- **Xl**: `24px`
- **2xl**: `32px`
- **3xl**: `48px`
- **4xl**: `64px`
### Grid
A 12-column desktop editorial grid with persistent gutters, collapsing to a single-column stack on mobile; key modules span 3, 4, 6, or 8 columns to keep publication rhythm.
### Whitespace
Calibrated bands between sections and within panels — magazine pacing, not airy app minimalism; tight internal clusters balanced by strong outer margins.
### Density
Information-forward; layered rather than spaced out.
### Responsive
Full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content caps and centres on ultra-wide; grids use minmax(0,1fr) and min-width:0 children so they never overflow; mobile hides non-essential nav links and table columns.
### Breakpoints
- **Mobile**: < 600px
- **Tablet**: 600-960px
- **Desktop**: >= 960px
- **Ultrawide**: >= 1700px
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Sm**: 0 0 0 1px rgba(124,231,255,.06),0 10px 26px rgba(0,0,0,.34)
- **Md**: 0 0 0 1px rgba(124,231,255,.09),0 18px 44px rgba(0,0,0,.42)
- **Lg**: 0 0 0 1px rgba(124,231,255,.13),0 28px 76px rgba(0,0,0,.5)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **None**: `0px`
- **Soft**: `16px`
- **Card**: `24px`
- **Full**: `9999px`
### Surfaces
- **Treatment**: gradient
- **Card Style**: Matte graphite dossier panels with a subtle top-to-bottom tonal gradient, a hairline inset perimeter, a heavy left accent rail keyed to a colour role, a corner monospace index code, and an optional faint reticle overlay.
- **Bg Pattern**: grid
### Borders
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Accent Width**: 5px
- **Style**: solid
- **Character**: Thin cool-toned drafting rules; emphasis comes from the heavy left accent rail, never from boxing or decorative sidelines.
## Components
### Composition
Compose pages as editorial investigations on a visible multicolumn grid: a headline deck, an evidence-led hero, telemetry summaries, analytical sidebars, and dossier data modules — never a component inventory.
### Hierarchy
Condensed uppercase display for navigation, labels, and numbers; serif for summaries, notes, and long-form reading; monospace for metadata overlines and index codes.
### Density
High density, never crowded: every zone layers information separated by hairline rules, mono labels, spacing bands, and contrast shifts rather than empty whitespace.
### Signature
Every major module is a plot-board dossier: heavy left accent rail + thin inset perimeter + corner monospace index code + a faint reticle/crosshair overlay; section headers carry a mono overline, a condensed uppercase title, and a trailing rule across the grid.
## 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-019ef8bb-1ea6-7ad0-93a6-6e57e0dfbcba/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 luminous cyan and amber as precise navigational accents against the matte graphite ground.
- Do Keep editorial reading zones intact with serif body copy and generous line height.
- Do Reveal the grid through hairline rules, aligned edges, and consistent metadata placement.
- Do Reserve rose for the live or anomalous state, spent sparingly so it always reads as urgent.
- Don't Flood full surfaces with neon gradients that reduce reading contrast.
- Don't Replace the serif reading voice with a generic UI sans everywhere.
- Don't Use soft cards, playful rounding, arbitrary in-between radii, or consumer-dashboard emptiness.
- Don't Box the nav into a floating pill or let decorative sci-fi chrome break the editorial order.
### Accessibility
High contrast on the dark ground (text #edf3f7 on #070b11); body 17px+; controls glow on hover/focus with visible focus rings; reduced-motion honoured; no symbol glyphs or emoji — icons are SVG primitives.
## Imagery Direction
### Pairs With
azimuth
### Summary
Subjects reconstructed as glowing electric-cyan and warm amber vector contour lines and faceted wireframe planes over a matte graphite field, with a thin plotting grid, concentric radar reticles, a crosshair, and amber registration ticks framing the subject like telemetry tracking a target.
### Subjects
- orbits and satellites
- vehicles and instruments
- terrain and limb views
- antennae and dishes
### Usage
One full-bleed landing hero in the Azimuth technique; selected feature/illustration slots reuse the wireframe-plot treatment. Swappable via background-image: var(--hero-image).

# Apogee shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ef8bb-1ea6-7ad0-93a6-6e57e0dfbcba`
Slug: `apogee`
## Intent
Apogee is mission-grade systems journalism: a dark, information-forward publishing system that treats every screen as a page from a future-facing investigative magazine — annotated, gridded, evidence-led — yet disciplined enough that long-form reading and live telemetry scanning coexist on one plotting surface. Its ownable mechanic is the plot-board dossier panel: a heavy left accent rail, a corner index code, and a faint reticle overlay that tracks each module like a target.
## 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`.

## Visual character to preserve
- Make the source language's structural identity visible in every component state.
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "system",
"material": "flat",
"contour": "default",
"border": "solid",
"underlay": true,

"motion": "still",

]
}
## 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/apogee/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 luminous cyan and amber as precise navigational accents against the matte graphite ground.; Keep editorial reading zones intact with serif body copy and generous line height.; Reveal the grid through hairline rules, aligned edges, and consistent metadata placement.; Reserve rose for the live or anomalous state, spent sparingly so it always reads as urgent.
- Do not: Flood full surfaces with neon gradients that reduce reading contrast.; Replace the serif reading voice with a generic UI sans everywhere.; Use soft cards, playful rounding, arbitrary in-between radii, or consumer-dashboard emptiness.; Box the nav into a floating pill or let decorative sci-fi chrome break the editorial order.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
```tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardFooter,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card";
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function ApogeeShadcnKit() {
return (
