Rules

components

### Composition One dominant hero slab, several overlapping die-cut support cards, and a rhythm of circular stickers, rotated ribbons and mini-panels that feel intentionally collected rather than uniformly tiled. ### Hierarchy Tall League Gothic headlines, saturated colour bands, circular KPI stickers and black keylines make primary actions and numbers readable from a distance before body copy resolves. One button is clearly primary (hot-pink fill, ink label); the rest are quieter (cyan, yellow, or ghost) but share one shape and height. ### Signature Patterns - **Die-cut cutout card**: panels clip one corner and drop a hard offset shadow, reading like die-cut packaging instead of a rounded rectangle. - **Ribbon section header**: headers sit on a slightly rotated cyan ribbon with an uppercase mono label and offset shadow, like a pasted editorial annotation. - **Circular KPI sticker**: statistic callouts live in circular or pill badges that overlap adjacent cards and break the grid. - **Halftone + burst field**: backgrounds carry a page-wide ben-day dot field with burst rays in hero zones, so the language is visibly pop-graphic before content loads. - **Pressed-print interaction**: controls translate a few pixels on hover/press as their offset shadow collapses. ### Links Links carry the language's own gesture: a yellow highlighter sweep inks up under the label on hover (never a bare default underline).

Guidance

Do

wrap every important surface in a black keyline with a hard offset shadow.
pair tall League Gothic display type with compact mono labels and badges.
keep captions, labels and two-word headlines on one line by letting the condensed faces take the width, not by shrinking the size.
overlap stickers, ribbons and circular metrics so some elements break the grid.
use saturated adjacent colour slabs instead of quiet tonal palettes.
fully style every form control, including selects, checkboxes, switches and ranges.

Avoid

rely on subtle grey borders or invisible card edges.
center everything into a polite, symmetrical dashboard.
mute the palette into corporate pastels or monochrome restraint.
use browser-default form controls.
set white text on the hot-pink fill, or ask Share Tech Mono for a bold it does not have.
pile noise so thickly that hierarchy disappears.

# Litfass

## Overview

Plakat's maximalist pop poster set in tall condensed faces, so caption-length text fits narrow boxes in a video frame or on a phone: comic-ink keylines, ben-day halftone and die-cut cards in hot pink, electric cyan and saturated yellow.

## Colors

Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.

### Grid

Build screens as editorial collages: one dominant slab, several overlapping support cards, and a rhythm of badges and ribbons anchored to shared baseline gutters, so the deliberate chaos still scans cleanly. Contained content caps and centres on ultra-wide; only the full-bleed hero spans 100vw.

### Breakpoints

- **Desktop (>1024)**: overlapping cards, floating stickers, full collage depth.
- **Tablet (768–1024)**: its own considered layout: a 2-column stack with reduced overlap, sticker badges tucked closer, ribbons kept shallow. Never the mobile column stretched wide.
- **Mobile (<640)**: a single column; badges move inside cards; display headlines shrink with clamp() and wrap, never clip, and the condensed face keeps two-word headlines on one line; the nav wraps to rows; tables scroll inside their own wrapper.

### Whitespace

Whitespace is the reset between bursts of colour and type. Breathing strips around each cluster keep the composition curated, never cluttered, and density stays balanced across the canvas: no crowded corner beside a starved void.

## Components

### Components

### Composition

One dominant hero slab, several overlapping die-cut support cards, and a rhythm of circular stickers, rotated ribbons and mini-panels that feel intentionally collected rather than uniformly tiled.

### Hierarchy

Tall League Gothic headlines, saturated colour bands, circular KPI stickers and black keylines make primary actions and numbers readable from a distance before body copy resolves. One button is clearly primary (hot-pink fill, ink label); the rest are quieter (cyan, yellow, or ghost) but share one shape and height.

### Signature Patterns

- **Die-cut cutout card**: panels clip one corner and drop a hard offset shadow, reading like die-cut packaging instead of a rounded rectangle.
- **Ribbon section header**: headers sit on a slightly rotated cyan ribbon with an uppercase mono label and offset shadow, like a pasted editorial annotation.
- **Circular KPI sticker**: statistic callouts live in circular or pill badges that overlap adjacent cards and break the grid.
- **Halftone + burst field**: backgrounds carry a page-wide ben-day dot field with burst rays in hero zones, so the language is visibly pop-graphic before content loads.
- **Pressed-print interaction**: controls translate a few pixels on hover/press as their offset shadow collapses.

### Links

Links carry the language's own gesture: a yellow highlighter sweep inks up under the label on hover (never a bare default underline).

## 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-01a11383-7c3e-7b83-a477-bb90ac503e89/DESIGN.with-shadcn.md`.

Machine-readable companions for automation: `/language/en-01a11383-7c3e-7b83-a477-bb90ac503e89/shadcn.json` (registry theme), `/language/en-01a11383-7c3e-7b83-a477-bb90ac503e89/shadcn-components.md` (component recipes) and `/language/en-01a11383-7c3e-7b83-a477-bb90ac503e89/shadcn-shots.json` (preview shots). The human-facing handoff is still 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 wrap every important surface in a black keyline with a hard offset shadow.
- Do pair tall League Gothic display type with compact mono labels and badges.
- Do keep captions, labels and two-word headlines on one line by letting the condensed faces take the width, not by shrinking the size.
- Do overlap stickers, ribbons and circular metrics so some elements break the grid.
- Do use saturated adjacent colour slabs instead of quiet tonal palettes.
- Do fully style every form control, including selects, checkboxes, switches and ranges.
- Don't rely on subtle grey borders or invisible card edges.
- Don't center everything into a polite, symmetrical dashboard.
- Don't mute the palette into corporate pastels or monochrome restraint.
- Don't use browser-default form controls.
- Don't set white text on the hot-pink fill, or ask Share Tech Mono for a bold it does not have.
- Don't pile noise so thickly that hierarchy disappears.

# Litfass shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-01a11383-7c3e-7b83-a477-bb90ac503e89`
Slug: `litfass`

## Intent

Plakat's maximalist pop poster set in tall condensed faces, so caption-length text fits narrow boxes in a video frame or on a phone: comic-ink keylines, ben-day halftone and die-cut cards in hot pink, electric cyan and saturated yellow.

## 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": "#FFF4F8",
  "surface": "#FFFFFF",
  "surface_solid": "#FFFFFF",
  "text": "#141414",
  "muted": "#6A5A66",
  "border": "#141414",
  "accent": "#FF2D7A",
  "accent_2": "#00C7F2",
  "accent_soft": "#FFD84D",
  "on_accent": "#141414",
  "success": "#17B978",
  "warning": "#FF9F1C",
  "error": "#FF3B30",
  "info": "#00C7F2"
}

Typography:

{
  "heading_font": "League Gothic, sans-serif",
  "body_font": "Sofia Sans Condensed, sans-serif",
  "mono_font": "Share Tech Mono, monospace",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=League+Gothic&family=Sofia+Sans+Condensed:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Share+Tech+Mono&display=swap"
}

## 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": false,
  "grain": false,
  "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/litfass/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: wrap every important surface in a black keyline with a hard offset shadow.; pair tall League Gothic display type with compact mono labels and badges.; keep captions, labels and two-word headlines on one line by letting the condensed faces take the width, not by shrinking the size.; overlap stickers, ribbons and circular metrics so some elements break the grid.; use saturated adjacent colour slabs instead of quiet tonal palettes.; fully style every form control, including selects, checkboxes, switches and ranges.
- Do not: rely on subtle grey borders or invisible card edges.; center everything into a polite, symmetrical dashboard.; mute the palette into corporate pastels or monochrome restraint.; use browser-default form controls.; set white text on the hot-pink fill, or ask Share Tech Mono for a bold it does not have.; pile noise so thickly that hierarchy disappears.

## 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

{
  "summary": "### Spacing Tokens\n\n- **Base**: `8px`\n- **Xs**: `4px`  ·  **Sm**: `8px`  ·  **Md**: `16px`  ·  **Lg**: `24px`  ·  **Xl**: `32px`  ·  **2xl**: `48px`  ·  **3xl**: `64px`\n\n### Grid\n\nBuild screens as editorial collages: one dominant slab, several overlapping support cards, and a rhythm of badges and ribbons anchored to shared baseline gutters, so the deliberate chaos still scans cleanly. Contained content caps and centres on ultra-wide; only the full-bleed hero spans 100vw.\n\n### Breakpoints\n\n- **Desktop (>1024)**: overlapping cards, floating stickers, full collage depth.\n- **Tablet (768–1024)**: its own considered layout: a 2-column stack with reduced overlap, sticker badges tucked closer, ribbons kept shallow. Never the mobile column stretched wide.\n- **Mobile (<640)**: a single column; badges move inside cards; display headlines shrink with clamp() and wrap, never clip, and the condensed face keeps two-word headlines on one line; the nav wraps to rows; tables scroll inside their own wrapper.\n\n### Whitespace\n\nWhitespace is the reset between bursts of colour and type. Breathing strips around each cluster keep the composition curated, never cluttered, and density stays balanced across the canvas: no crowded corner beside a starved void."
