philosophy

summary

A screen-printed interface language that inverts the press: the stock is ink-black, the ink is bone-white, and the one loud colour is removed from the type — knocked out — so the vermilion slab reads through the letterforms. Structure is a registration sheet: flush cells, hairline rules, a crop tick punched at every corner. Nothing floats; nothing has a drop shadow.

values

Inverted contrast: bone-white ink and condensed caps printed onto fixed ink-black stock, never a dark-mode toggle.Structural honesty on a register grid — every cell join and crop tick is visible; the layout looks manufactured, not decorated.One spot colour, knocked out of the type, used like a single vermilion plate — loud as an interruption, never a wash.

anti-values

×Drop shadows, floating cards, rounded corners, and elevation.×Paper-white grounds, gradients, glass, blur, and grey-on-grey SaaS slickness.×A second accent hue, or the accent flooding a surface instead of being knocked out of a phrase.

rules

composition

Build scenes as a registration sheet of flush bordered cells — one dominant knockout-headline zone, one dense operational sheet, and supporting mono spec slips — with a vermilion crop tick at every corner where cells meet.

hierarchy

Scale-shock from condensed Anton caps first, then the knockout slab, then mono labels and hairline rules; body stays calm at 17px so the headline and the slab carry the volume.

density

Medium-high: many visible controls and summaries, every group a flush cell on the grid, so the sheet reads energetic but dead on register.

signature

Knockout type (accent reversed out of a slab, never a wash); a gapless cell grid with hairline rules and a vermilion crop tick at every corner; condensed Anton display over calm Inter body and mono metadata; zero drop shadows — depth is inversion-on-hover.

layout

grid

An edge-to-edge registration sheet: split sheets pair a wide knockout-headline cell with a narrower mono spec column; internal cell grids collapse 4 to 2 to 1. The nav sits openly across the header, never trapped in a floating pill.

whitespace

Deliberate, not luxurious: tight cell padding, the rules themselves doing the dividing, and generous breathing room above the condensed headlines.

density

medium-high

responsive

Single full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content caps and centres at 1320px on ultra-wide; mobile stacks to one column, hides non-essential nav and table columns, and never overflows horizontally.

breakpoints

mobile: 390px

guidance

Keep the ground ink-black; print bone-white ink and condensed caps onto it.
Knock the one vermilion accent out of a phrase or a primary control so the colour reads through the type.
Build structure from flush cells, hairline rules, and a vermilion crop tick at each corner — the registration sheet.
Let condensed Anton caps and mono metadata carry the hierarchy while body stays calm at 17px.

avoid

Don't add drop shadows, floating cards, rounded corners, or any sense of elevation.
Don't use a paper-white ground, gradients, glass, or blur.
Don't introduce a second accent hue or let the vermilion flood a surface as a wash.
Don't separate cells with gutters; they butt flush and are divided only by the 1px rule.

# Knockout

## Philosophy

### Values

- Inverted contrast: bone-white ink and condensed caps printed onto fixed ink-black stock, never a dark-mode toggle.
- Structural honesty on a register grid — every cell join and crop tick is visible; the layout looks manufactured, not decorated.
- One spot colour, knocked out of the type, used like a single vermilion plate — loud as an interruption, never a wash.

### Anti-Values

- Drop shadows, floating cards, rounded corners, and elevation.
- Paper-white grounds, gradients, glass, blur, and grey-on-grey SaaS slickness.
- A second accent hue, or the accent flooding a surface instead of being knocked out of a phrase.

### Visual Character

- The ground is fixed ink-black #0E0D0C with a faint halftone dot field, so the stock reads as printed paper rather than flat digital black.
- Headlines are tall condensed Anton caps stacked in short lines, with one line reversed out of a vermilion knockout slab; body holds calm at 17px Inter and metadata runs in mono.
- Layout is a gapless registration sheet — cells butt flush, divided only by 1px hairline rules, with a 2px vermilion crop tick (an inline-SVG crosshair) punched at every corner where four cells meet.
- There are no drop shadows anywhere: depth comes from controls inverting on hover and seating 1px on press, and from the crop-tick register marks.

### Accessibility

Bone #F4F1EA on ink-black #0E0D0C clears AAA for body; vermilion #FF3B14 carries dark #0E0D0C text on the knockout slab at AA-large for display sizes. Crop-tick register marks are inline SVG, never glyphs; all form controls are explicitly styled with a non-colour focus cue (a vermilion ink edge plus border change).

# Knockout

## Overview

A screen-printed interface language that inverts the press: the stock is ink-black, the ink is bone-white, and the one loud colour is removed from the type — knocked out — so the vermilion slab reads through the letterforms. Structure is a registration sheet: flush cells, hairline rules, a crop tick punched at every corner. Nothing floats; nothing has a drop shadow.

### Values

- Inverted contrast: bone-white ink and condensed caps printed onto fixed ink-black stock, never a dark-mode toggle.
- Structural honesty on a register grid — every cell join and crop tick is visible; the layout looks manufactured, not decorated.
- One spot colour, knocked out of the type, used like a single vermilion plate — loud as an interruption, never a wash.

### Anti-Values

- Drop shadows, floating cards, rounded corners, and elevation.
- Paper-white grounds, gradients, glass, blur, and grey-on-grey SaaS slickness.
- A second accent hue, or the accent flooding a surface instead of being knocked out of a phrase.

### Visual Character

- The ground is fixed ink-black #0E0D0C with a faint halftone dot field, so the stock reads as printed paper rather than flat digital black.
- Headlines are tall condensed Anton caps stacked in short lines, with one line reversed out of a vermilion knockout slab; body holds calm at 17px Inter and metadata runs in mono.
- Layout is a gapless registration sheet — cells butt flush, divided only by 1px hairline rules, with a 2px vermilion crop tick (an inline-SVG crosshair) punched at every corner where four cells meet.
- There are no drop shadows anywhere: depth comes from controls inverting on hover and seating 1px on press, and from the crop-tick register marks.

## Components

### Composition

Build scenes as a registration sheet of flush bordered cells — one dominant knockout-headline zone, one dense operational sheet, and supporting mono spec slips — with a vermilion crop tick at every corner where cells meet.

### Density

Medium-high: many visible controls and summaries, every group a flush cell on the grid, so the sheet reads energetic but dead on register.

### Signature

Knockout type (accent reversed out of a slab, never a wash); a gapless cell grid with hairline rules and a vermilion crop tick at every corner; condensed Anton display over calm Inter body and mono metadata; zero drop shadows — depth is inversion-on-hover.

## 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-019ef950-bebb-7320-9c59-c98ea27217c8/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 ground ink-black; print bone-white ink and condensed caps onto it.
- Do Knock the one vermilion accent out of a phrase or a primary control so the colour reads through the type.
- Do Build structure from flush cells, hairline rules, and a vermilion crop tick at each corner — the registration sheet.
- Do Let condensed Anton caps and mono metadata carry the hierarchy while body stays calm at 17px.
- Don't Don't add drop shadows, floating cards, rounded corners, or any sense of elevation.
- Don't Don't use a paper-white ground, gradients, glass, or blur.
- Don't Don't introduce a second accent hue or let the vermilion flood a surface as a wash.
- Don't Don't separate cells with gutters; they butt flush and are divided only by the 1px rule.

### Accessibility

Bone #F4F1EA on ink-black #0E0D0C clears AAA for body; vermilion #FF3B14 carries dark #0E0D0C text on the knockout slab at AA-large for display sizes. Crop-tick register marks are inline SVG, never glyphs; all form controls are explicitly styled with a non-colour focus cue (a vermilion ink edge plus border change).

## Imagery Direction

### Pairs With

squeegee

### Summary

Screen-printed risograph imagery on ink-black stock: a single bold subject with heavy contour outlines, three-to-four flat ink separations, halftone-dot midtones, a hard offset registration shadow, and one flat vermilion knockout slab — the subject bleeding off all four edges.

### Subjects

- a printmaker's squeegee dragging a band of bone-white ink across a silkscreen
- press apparatus and registration marks on a black press bed
- a single bold object rendered as a stacked cut-paper print
- ink, mesh, and crop-tick marks of the screen-print process

### Usage

One full-bleed hero image per landing in the squeegee technique on ink-black stock, kept monochrome with a single vermilion knockout slab; never a literal product screenshot.

# Knockout shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ef950-bebb-7320-9c59-c98ea27217c8`
Slug: `knockout`

## Intent

A screen-printed interface language that inverts the press: the stock is ink-black, the ink is bone-white, and the one loud colour is removed from the type — knocked out — so the vermilion slab reads through the letterforms. Structure is a registration sheet: flush cells, hairline rules, a crop tick punched at every corner. Nothing floats; nothing has a drop shadow.

## 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:

{
  "bg": "#0E0D0C",
  "surface": "#161412",
  "text": "#F4F1EA",
  "muted": "#9A958A",
  "border": "#2B2926",
  "accent": "#FF3B14",
  "on_accent": "#0E0D0C",
  "primary": "#FF3B14",
  "secondary": "#161412",
  "success": "#27C281",
  "warning": "#FFB020",
  "error": "#FF5A36",
  "info": "#7FB2FF"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "17px",
  "body_font": "Inter",
  "heading_font": "Anton",
  "mono_font": "Spline Sans Mono",
  "heading_weight": "400",
  "heading_transform": "uppercase",
  "letter_spacing": "0.005em",
  "line_height": 1.6,
  "scale_ratio": 1.25,
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Anton&family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Spline+Sans+Mono:wght@400;500;600&display=swap"
}

## Visual character to preserve

- The ground is fixed ink-black #0E0D0C with a faint halftone dot field, so the stock reads as printed paper rather than flat digital black.
- Headlines are tall condensed Anton caps stacked in short lines, with one line reversed out of a vermilion knockout slab; body holds calm at 17px Inter and metadata runs in mono.
- Layout is a gapless registration sheet — cells butt flush, divided only by 1px hairline rules, with a 2px vermilion crop tick (an inline-SVG crosshair) punched at every corner where four cells meet.
- There are no drop shadows anywhere: depth comes from controls inverting on hover and seating 1px on press, and from the crop-tick register marks.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": false,
  "grain": true,

  "motion": "still",

  "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/knockout/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: Keep the ground ink-black; print bone-white ink and condensed caps onto it.; Knock the one vermilion accent out of a phrase or a primary control so the colour reads through the type.; Build structure from flush cells, hairline rules, and a vermilion crop tick at each corner — the registration sheet.; Let condensed Anton caps and mono metadata carry the hierarchy while body stays calm at 17px.
- Do not: Don't add drop shadows, floating cards, rounded corners, or any sense of elevation.; Don't use a paper-white ground, gradients, glass, or blur.; Don't introduce a second accent hue or let the vermilion flood a surface as a wash.; Don't separate cells with gutters; they butt flush and are divided only by the 1px rule.

## 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

{
  "grid": "An edge-to-edge registration sheet: split sheets pair a wide knockout-headline cell with a narrower mono spec column; internal cell grids collapse 4 to 2 to 1. The nav sits openly across the header, never trapped in a floating pill.",
  "whitespace": "Deliberate, not luxurious: tight cell padding, the rules themselves doing the dividing, and generous breathing room above the condensed headlines.",
  "density": "medium-high",
  "responsive": "Single full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content caps and centres at 1320px on ultra-wide; mobile stacks to one column, hides non-essential nav and table columns, and never overflows horizontally.",
  "breakpoints": {
