# Loam shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019efd5c-e887-7ff1-9777-b2da23f1a283`
Slug: `loam`

## Intent

Loam organizes an interface the way a field surveyor reads cultivated ground: by elevation. Every section, record, and reading sits on a contour-line band, and a hand-drawn topographic line-field is the structural grammar of the page rather than a decoration on top of it. Records are anchored to the land by a root-line — a thin stem with a node — so a list reads like plantings staked along a transect. The result is calm, legible terrain: information you survey and steward over seasons, not a feed you scroll.

## Required primitives

- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu
- table

}

## Visual character to preserve

- A topographic contour-line field is the page's structural grammar, threading behind and between sections as flowing concentric lines
- Each record carries a root-line: a thin vertical stem with a filled node that stakes it to the contour band
- Sections are elevation bands — full-bleed contour terraces that the contained column rides on
- Controls are seed-pod capsules with soft inset rims and a moss pressed-state, on a 9999 radius
- Headings sit on a single tapered contour underline drawn from the accent, never a hard rule

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": false,
  "grain": true,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "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/loam/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 the contour-line field be real structure — bands, transects, root-lines — not a texture sprinkled on top; Keep earth tones clean and high-contrast; reserve sienna for the few sites that genuinely matter; Anchor every list row and card to a root-line stem and node; Draw heading underlines as a single tapered contour, never a hard rule; Use seed-pod capsule controls consistently at one height and shape
- Do not: Do not stamp one leaf-notch or motif on every card until it becomes wallpaper; Do not box panels in grey hairline borders; separate with surface tint and contour bands; Do not mud the palette into pastel beige sludge; keep the greens and siennas clean; Do not over-animate; motion settles like sediment, never bounces; Do not let the contour field reduce legibility — it stays faint behind text

## 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

{
