# Optic Shellcode Pearl Grid shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `optic-shellcode-pearl-grid`
Slug: `optic-shellcode-pearl-grid`

## Intent

Optic Shellcode Pearl Grid is a restrained cinematic interface language for synthetic-body systems that feel watched rather than decorated. It translates Ghost-in-the-Shell shellcode minimalism into polished product structure: black manga fields, translucent pearl panels, pale cyan command overlays, recognition brackets, and diagnostic typography that leaves large areas of silence. The system treats every element as evidence inside a surveillance aperture; surfaces are glassy but almost colorless, code is present but sparse, and composition favors philosophical pause over cyberpunk spectacle.

## 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:

{
  "accent": "#8ED9E8",
  "background": "#030506",
  "border": "#FFFFFF",
  "error": "#C64D52",
  "info": "#8ED9E8",

  "success": "#A7C8BE",
  "surface": "#F5F8F7",
  "text": "#F7FAF9",
  "warning": "#C8B981"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "IBM Plex Sans",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Saira+Condensed:wght@500;600;700&family=IBM+Plex+Sans:wght@400;500;600&family=Fragment+Mono:ital@0;1&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Saira Condensed",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.02em",
  "line_height": 1.55,
  "mono_font": "Fragment Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Asymmetric 12-column precision grid with one dominant black manga field and smaller translucent panels offset across it.
- Frosted pearl glass surfaces using backdrop-filter blur, near-white translucency, and hairline rgba borders over ink black.
- Recognition-bracket corner marks built from absolutely positioned thin vector lines around panels and identity targets.
- Sparse terminal fragments in a dedicated monospace rail with pale cyan text, cropped overflow, and tiny red warning pixels.
- Optical camouflage fades created by masked scan grids, low-opacity contour lines, and clipped white panels dissolving into black.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "brutalist",
  "material": "ink",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": false,
  "stickerBadges": false,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "balanced",
  "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/optic-shellcode-pearl-grid/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 square-edged translucent panels over ink black or flat white manga fields.; Reserve pale cyan for active terminal states, command prompts, scan lines, and node highlights.; Compose asymmetrically with one dominant void and one dense diagnostic strip.; Build bracket corners as detached thin rules so the interface feels like recognition optics.; Crop code windows and captions at panel edges to imply a larger machine outside the frame.; Use condensed anime title-card typography sparingly for scene naming and system identity.; Keep body copy short, technical, and existential rather than promotional.; Favor hairline borders, hard rectangular cuts, and frosted blur over rounded cards.
- Do not: Do not use purple, magenta, lime, or rainbow cyberpunk palettes.; Do not create three equal cards in a row or a generic SaaS dashboard grid.; Do not mix rounded radii; this language is square except for tiny circular nodes.; Do not fill every void with decoration, data, or illustration.; Do not use thick grey borders, heavy shadows, gradient buttons, or glowing CTAs.; Do not make code decorative wallpaper; every command fragment should read like system evidence.; Do not soften the tone with playful icons, friendly copy, or consumer onboarding patterns.; Do not combine one-sided accent borders with rounded surfaces.

## Copy-paste component example

This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
