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 like a shanshui painter: anchor the focal mass like a mountain peak, dissolve supporting elements toward the edges. Asymmetric balance, generous negative space as breathing room.
Ink density is the primary hierarchy signal — concentrated #181512 for primary, medium #423c34/#7c7164 for secondary, pale #a89c8b receding. The single vermillion #c5392a is reserved for the one primary action per view.
Low-to-medium. Three or four breathing groups per screen, separated by space and brush-stroke dividers, never by hard rules. Airy 16px table rows.
Ink-density hierarchy, expressed through: ink-diffusion radial backgrounds, floating mist panels (backdrop-blur), vermillion seal badges, brush-stroke SVG dividers, and ink-wash data where bar density encodes magnitude.
Fluid 12-column, max-width 1120px, centred; grids use minmax(0,1fr) so children shrink instead of overflowing.
Generous — 48–96px section gaps, 24–32px panel padding, always padding above titles.
low
Renders from ~390px mobile to 2560px+; single-column stack on mobile with non-essential nav and table columns hidden; only the full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content capped and centred on ultra-wide.
inkpool
Wet East-Asian ink-wash imagery in the Inkpool technique — monochrome ink pooling and bleeding from near-black focal mass through grey washes to pale diluted edges on warm rice paper, atmospheric depth, generous negative space, a single small vermillion seal as the only colour.
Use as full-bleed landing heroes composed with empty pale-paper space for an overlaid headline; never illustrated art for the embodiment thumbnail (that is a true screenshot).
# Yanbo ## Philosophy Yanbo (烟波, “misty waves”) is a water-ink design language for archives, studios, and slow-reading tools. It treats an interface the way a shanshui painter treats rice paper: one pigment, infinitely diluted, with empty space carrying as much weight as the mark. Hierarchy is rendered as ink density — concentrated near-black for the matter at hand, washing out to pale tone for what can wait — and a single vermillion seal speaks for the one action that matters. ### Values - Ink-density hierarchy — importance is how much you dilute the ink, not size or colour - Qi (气) — breath flows through whitespace and rhythm; the void carries weight - Jing (静) — unhurried, meditative motion that settles rather than snaps - He (和) — asymmetric balance of heavy ink mass against open paper - One seal — a single vermillion accent per view, reserved for the primary action ### Anti-Values - Never pure white; always a warm rice-paper ground - Never a second vermillion or saturated colour competing in a view - Never hard mechanical borders or boxed-in chrome — edges stay soft - Never crowd; never rush the eye with fast transitions ## Tokens ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | bg | `#f4eee3` | | surface | `#efe7d9` | | surface_2 | `#e8dece` | | text | `#181512` | | text_2 | `#423c34` | | muted | `#7c7164` | | ink_pale | `#a89c8b` | | accent | `#c5392a` | | accent_strong | `#a82c20` | | on_accent | `#fbf6ec` | | border | `rgba(40,36,30,0.12)` | | success | `#5c7a4a` | | warning | `#a07a32` | | error | `#c5392a` | | info | `#5a6c78` | ### Typography - **Base Size**: 17.5px - **Body Font**: Noto Sans SC - **Heading Font**: Noto Serif SC - **Mono Font**: Noto Sans Mono - **Heading Weight**: 600 - **Heading Transform**: none - **Letter Spacing**: -0.02em - **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Serif+SC:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Noto+Sans+SC:wght@300;400;500;600&family=Noto+Sans+Mono:wght@400;500&display=swap ### Radii - **None**: 0px - **Control**: 16px - **Panel**: 24px - **Full**: 9999px ### Shadows - **Sm**: 0 2px 10px rgba(40,36,30,0.07) - **Md**: 0 6px 28px rgba(40,36,30,0.10) - **Lg**: 0 14px 48px rgba(40,36,30,0.13) ### Spacing - **Base**: 8px - **Scale**: ["8px","16px","24px","32px","48px","64px","96px"] ### Surfaces - **Paper**: #f4eee3 - **Mist**: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(244,238,227,.78), rgba(232,222,206,.62)) - **Overlay**: rgba(244,238,227,0.86) - **Blur**: blur(9px) saturate(1.08) ### Borders - **Soft**: 1px solid rgba(40,36,30,0.12) - **Hairline**: 1px solid rgba(40,36,30,0.07) ### Motion - **Ease**: cubic-bezier(0.22,0.61,0.36,1) - **Normal**: 460ms - **Slow**: 720ms - **Reduced Motion**: honored ## Rules ### Composition Compose like a shanshui painter: anchor the focal mass like a mountain peak, dissolve supporting elements toward the edges.

# Yanbo
## Overview
Yanbo (烟波, “misty waves”) is a water-ink design language for archives, studios, and slow-reading tools. It treats an interface the way a shanshui painter treats rice paper: one pigment, infinitely diluted, with empty space carrying as much weight as the mark. Hierarchy is rendered as ink density — concentrated near-black for the matter at hand, washing out to pale tone for what can wait — and a single vermillion seal speaks for the one action that matters.
### Values
- Ink-density hierarchy — importance is how much you dilute the ink, not size or colour
- Qi (气) — breath flows through whitespace and rhythm; the void carries weight
- Jing (静) — unhurried, meditative motion that settles rather than snaps
- He (和) — asymmetric balance of heavy ink mass against open paper
- One seal — a single vermillion accent per view, reserved for the primary action
### Anti-Values
- Never pure white; always a warm rice-paper ground
- Never a second vermillion or saturated colour competing in a view
- Never hard mechanical borders or boxed-in chrome — edges stay soft
- Never crowd; never rush the eye with fast transitions
## 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 | `#f4eee3` |
| surface | `#efe7d9` |
| surface_2 | `#e8dece` |
| text | `#181512` |
| text_2 | `#423c34` |
| muted | `#7c7164` |
| ink_pale | `#a89c8b` |
| accent | `#c5392a` |
| accent_strong | `#a82c20` |
| on_accent | `#fbf6ec` |
| success | `#5c7a4a` |
| warning | `#a07a32` |
| error | `#c5392a` |
| info | `#5a6c78` |
## Typography
- **Headline-Lg**: Noto Serif SC, 2.136rem, weight 700, line-height 1.1.
- **Headline-Md**: Noto Serif SC, 1.709rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: Noto Sans SC, 17.5px, weight 400, line-height 1.5.
- **Label-Md**: Noto Sans Mono, 0.75rem, weight 600, line-height 1.
## Layout
### Spacing Tokens
- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `8px`
- **Sm**: `16px`
- **Md**: `24px`
- **Lg**: `32px`
- **Xl**: `48px`
- **2xl**: `64px`
- **3xl**: `96px`
### Grid
Fluid 12-column, max-width 1120px, centred; grids use minmax(0,1fr) so children shrink instead of overflowing.
### Whitespace
Generous — 48–96px section gaps, 24–32px panel padding, always padding above titles.
### Density
low
### Responsive
Renders from ~390px mobile to 2560px+; single-column stack on mobile with non-essential nav and table columns hidden; only the full-bleed hero spans 100vw; contained content capped and centred on ultra-wide.
### Breakpoints
- **Mobile**: 390px
- **Tablet**: 640px
- **Desktop**: 900px
- **Wide**: 1120px
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Sm**: 0 2px 10px rgba(40,36,30,0.07)
- **Md**: 0 6px 28px rgba(40,36,30,0.10)
- **Lg**: 0 14px 48px rgba(40,36,30,0.13)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **None**: `0px`
- **Control**: `16px`
- **Panel**: `24px`
- **Full**: `9999px`
### Surfaces
- **Paper**: #f4eee3
- **Mist**: linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(244,238,227,.78), rgba(232,222,206,.62))
- **Overlay**: rgba(244,238,227,0.86)
- **Blur**: blur(9px) saturate(1.08)
### Borders
- **Soft**: 1px solid rgba(40,36,30,0.12)
- **Hairline**: 1px solid rgba(40,36,30,0.07)
## Components
### Composition
Compose like a shanshui painter: anchor the focal mass like a mountain peak, dissolve supporting elements toward the edges. Asymmetric balance, generous negative space as breathing room.
### Hierarchy
Ink density is the primary hierarchy signal — concentrated #181512 for primary, medium #423c34/#7c7164 for secondary, pale #a89c8b receding. The single vermillion #c5392a is reserved for the one primary action per view.
### Density
Low-to-medium. Three or four breathing groups per screen, separated by space and brush-stroke dividers, never by hard rules. Airy 16px table rows.
### Signature
Ink-density hierarchy, expressed through: ink-diffusion radial backgrounds, floating mist panels (backdrop-blur), vermillion seal badges, brush-stroke SVG dividers, and ink-wash data where bar density encodes magnitude.
## 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-019efa02-d751-7343-a9a8-ee653fce7872/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 Let ink density carry hierarchy; pull the focal mass forward and dissolve the rest into pale wash
- Do Reserve the vermillion seal for the single primary action per view
- Do Keep the warm rice-paper ground and tint every shadow warm-brown
- Do Use long meditative easing; let motion settle, never snap
- Do Give content room — three or four breathing groups separated by space and brush-stroke dividers
- Don't Don't use pure white, a second vermillion, or saturated colour beyond the one seal
- Don't Don't draw hard mechanical borders or trap nav in a boxed pill bar
- Don't Don't crowd; keep a minimum 16px gap between interactive elements
- Don't Don't use cool or blue shadows, or text below 14.5px
### Accessibility
Body #181512 on #f4eee3 is 12.3:1; --muted #7c7164 used only for 16px+ labels (4.1:1). Focus rings use the ink-dark tone with a vermillion focus ring on inputs. Motion is gated behind a .js class, the settled page is the no-JS default, and prefers-reduced-motion collapses all transitions.
## Imagery Direction
### Pairs With
inkpool
### Summary
Wet East-Asian ink-wash imagery in the Inkpool technique — monochrome ink pooling and bleeding from near-black focal mass through grey washes to pale diluted edges on warm rice paper, atmospheric depth, generous negative space, a single small vermillion seal as the only colour.
### Subjects
- misted mountain ranges over still water
- distant peaks emerging from fog
- reeds and sandbars at a river's edge
- lake reflections at dawn
### Usage
Use as full-bleed landing heroes composed with empty pale-paper space for an overlaid headline; never illustrated art for the embodiment thumbnail (that is a true screenshot).

# Yanbo shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019efa02-d751-7343-a9a8-ee653fce7872`
Slug: `yanbo`
## Intent
Yanbo (烟波, “misty waves”) is a water-ink design language for archives, studios, and slow-reading tools. It treats an interface the way a shanshui painter treats rice paper: one pigment, infinitely diluted, with empty space carrying as much weight as the mark. Hierarchy is rendered as ink density — concentrated near-black for the matter at hand, washing out to pale tone for what can wait — and a single vermillion seal speaks for the one action that matters.
## 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.

## 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/yanbo/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: Let ink density carry hierarchy; pull the focal mass forward and dissolve the rest into pale wash; Reserve the vermillion seal for the single primary action per view; Keep the warm rice-paper ground and tint every shadow warm-brown; Use long meditative easing; let motion settle, never snap; Give content room — three or four breathing groups separated by space and brush-stroke dividers
- Do not: Don't use pure white, a second vermillion, or saturated colour beyond the one seal; Don't draw hard mechanical borders or trap nav in a boxed pill bar; Don't crowd; keep a minimum 16px gap between interactive elements; Don't use cool or blue shadows, or text below 14.5px
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
