rules
Use a system-console layout: fixed header, narrow command rail, large terminal workspace, and right-side telemetry panel aligned to an 8px grid.
Dense by default with compact rows and narrow gutters, but preserve enough line height for readable operational dashboards on small screens.
Primary hierarchy comes from phosphor brightness, uppercase prompt labels, bordered modules, and tabular rows; the largest type is still monospaced and technical.
layout
Desktop >= 1100px uses three columns; tablet 700-1099px collapses to two columns with telemetry below; mobile < 700px becomes a single stacked console.
Desktop uses a 240px command rail, flexible central terminal, and 320px telemetry column; internal panels follow repeatable 8px grid increments.
Whitespace is compact and mechanical: 8px row gaps, 16-24px panel padding, and large empty areas only inside terminal output panes to imply screen depth.
guidance
- Use IBM Plex Mono or a comparable technical monospace for all text, including numbers and form controls.
- Keep components square with explicit 1px borders, clear focus rings, and phosphor text-shadow only on high-value labels.
- Express navigation, filters, alerts, and actions through command-line language and bracketed status tokens.
- Balance CRT effects with legibility by keeping scanlines subtle and never placing heavy glow behind long paragraphs.
- Do not use rounded cards, pill chips, soft gradients, or consumer-app shadows.
- Do not turn the palette into neon cyberpunk; green is primary, amber and cyan are scarce operational accents.
- Do not use decorative glitch animation that moves text or disrupts reading.
- Do not replace structured dashboard content with nostalgic ASCII art unless it serves an actual interface purpose.

# Phosphor Command Grid ## Philosophy Phosphor Command Grid translates historical green-screen terminal constraints into a disciplined modern product interface: dense monospace information, black glass surfaces, square technical panels, and just enough CRT artifacting to make the system feel alive without becoming decorative nostalgia. ### Values - Operational clarity before ornament - Authentic terminal rhythm from monospaced rows and command prompts - High contrast status communication with restrained accent color - Enterprise-grade hierarchy anchored by grid discipline and repeatable components ### Anti-Values - Rounded lifestyle-app softness that breaks the machine-console character - Rainbow cyberpunk excess or decorative glitch effects that obscure content - Skeuomorphic monitor bezels, fake hardware chrome, or novelty terminal jokes ### Visual Character - Every major container uses zero-radius 1px phosphor borders with amber corner ticks drawn by pseudo-elements for a calibrated instrument-panel edge. - The entire interface sits on a deep charcoal base with layered repeating-linear-gradient scanlines and a radial green glow centered behind the working terminal. - Headers, labels, and controls use uppercase IBM Plex Mono with command-prefix glyphs such as $, >, ::, and bracketed numeric indices. - Information hierarchy is built from terminal rows, tabular metric cells, and fixed-width prompt blocks rather than soft cards or image-led marketing sections. - Interactive elements expose a block cursor motif: focused inputs and active tabs show a rectangular phosphor caret or filled left marker instead of rounded highlights. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 3px - **Character**: Thin phosphor grid lines define every region, with amber/cyan state strokes used sparingly for alerts and selected modules. - **Default Width**: 1px - **Style**: solid ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | accent | `#ffb454` | | background | `#050706` | | border | `#1d6b4c` | | error | `#ff4d6d` | | info | `#3fd7ff` | | muted | `#6fae8b` | | primary | `#00ff66` | | secondary | `#0b2f26` | | success | `#00ff66` | | surface | `#0b1110` | | text | `#d7ffe5` | | warning | `#ffb454` | ### Motion - **Duration**: 140ms - **Easing**: steps(2, jump-none) - **Philosophy**: snappy ### Radii - **Full**: 0 - **Lg**: 0 - **Md**: 0 - **None**: 0 - **Sm**: 0 ### Shadows - **Lg**: 0 0 60px rgba(0,255,102,0.22), inset 0 0 30px rgba(63,215,255,0.04) - **Md**: 0 0 24px rgba(0,255,102,0.18), inset 0 0 18px rgba(0,255,102,0.04) - **Sm**: 0 0 10px rgba(0,255,102,0.16) ### Spacing - **Base**: 8px - **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64] ### Surfaces - **Bg Pattern**: lines - **Card Style**: Flat black-green panels with subtle CRT grain, inner phosphor glow, square edges, and command-line header strips. - **Treatment**: noise ### Typography - **Base Size**: 16px - **Body Font**: IBM Plex Mono - **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap - **Heading Font**: IBM Plex Mono - **Letter Spacing**: 0.01em - **Line Height**: 1.55 - **Mono Font**: IBM Plex Mono - **Scale Ratio**: 1.2 ## Rules ### Composition Use a system-console layout: fixed header, narrow command rail, large terminal workspace, and right-side telemetry panel aligned to an 8px grid. ### Density Dense by default with compact rows and narrow gutters, but preserve enough line height for readable operational dashboards on small screens. ### Hierarchy Primary hierarchy comes from phosphor brightness, uppercase prompt labels, bordered modules, and tabular rows; the largest type is still monospaced and technical. ### Signature Patterns - Apply a global CRT overlay using repeating-linear-gradient scanlines plus a faint animated opacity shimmer on the body pseudo-layer. - Prefix section titles and buttons with terminal syntax marks ($, >, ::, [01]) generated in markup or CSS before content. - Draw amber corner ticks on panels with absolutely positioned ::before/::after pseudo-elements instead of border radius or drop-shadow decoration. - Use block-cursor interactions: focused fields, selected navigation, and live status labels include a blinking rectangular caret or solid phosphor left bar. - Render data as fixed-width command output rows with dotted grid separators and color-coded status tokens rather than pictorial cards. ## Layout ### Breakpoints Desktop >= 1100px uses three columns; tablet 700-1099px collapses to two columns with telemetry below; mobile < 700px becomes a single stacked console. ### Grid Desktop uses a 240px command rail, flexible central terminal, and 320px telemetry column;

# Phosphor Command Grid
## Overview
Phosphor Command Grid translates historical green-screen terminal constraints into a disciplined modern product interface: dense monospace information, black glass surfaces, square technical panels, and just enough CRT artifacting to make the system feel alive without becoming decorative nostalgia.
### Values
- Operational clarity before ornament
- Authentic terminal rhythm from monospaced rows and command prompts
- High contrast status communication with restrained accent color
- Enterprise-grade hierarchy anchored by grid discipline and repeatable components
### Anti-Values
- Rounded lifestyle-app softness that breaks the machine-console character
- Rainbow cyberpunk excess or decorative glitch effects that obscure content
- Skeuomorphic monitor bezels, fake hardware chrome, or novelty terminal jokes
### Visual Character
- Every major container uses zero-radius 1px phosphor borders with amber corner ticks drawn by pseudo-elements for a calibrated instrument-panel edge.
- The entire interface sits on a deep charcoal base with layered repeating-linear-gradient scanlines and a radial green glow centered behind the working terminal.
- Headers, labels, and controls use uppercase IBM Plex Mono with command-prefix glyphs such as $, >, ::, and bracketed numeric indices.
- Information hierarchy is built from terminal rows, tabular metric cells, and fixed-width prompt blocks rather than soft cards or image-led marketing sections.
- Interactive elements expose a block cursor motif: focused inputs and active tabs show a rectangular phosphor caret or filled left marker instead of rounded highlights.
## Colors
Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.
| Token | Value |
|-------|-------|
| accent | `#ffb454` |
| background | `#050706` |
| border | `#1d6b4c` |
| error | `#ff4d6d` |
| info | `#3fd7ff` |
| muted | `#6fae8b` |
| primary | `#00ff66` |
| secondary | `#0b2f26` |
| success | `#00ff66` |
| surface | `#0b1110` |
| text | `#d7ffe5` |
| warning | `#ffb454` |
## Typography
- **Headline-Lg**: IBM Plex Mono, 1.728rem, weight 700, line-height 1.1.
- **Headline-Md**: IBM Plex Mono, 1.44rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: IBM Plex Mono, 16px, weight 400, line-height 1.55.
- **Label-Md**: IBM Plex Mono, 0.75rem, weight 600, line-height 1.
## Layout
### Spacing Tokens
- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `4px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **Lg**: `16px`
- **Xl**: `24px`
- **2xl**: `32px`
- **3xl**: `48px`
- **4xl**: `64px`
### Breakpoints
Desktop >= 1100px uses three columns; tablet 700-1099px collapses to two columns with telemetry below; mobile < 700px becomes a single stacked console.
### Grid
Desktop uses a 240px command rail, flexible central terminal, and 320px telemetry column; internal panels follow repeatable 8px grid increments.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is compact and mechanical: 8px row gaps, 16-24px panel padding, and large empty areas only inside terminal output panes to imply screen depth.
## Elevation & Depth

- **Lg**: `0px`
- **Md**: `0px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `0px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: lines
- **Card Style**: Flat black-green panels with subtle CRT grain, inner phosphor glow, square edges, and command-line header strips.
- **Treatment**: noise
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 3px
- **Character**: Thin phosphor grid lines define every region, with amber/cyan state strokes used sparingly for alerts and selected modules.
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Use a system-console layout: fixed header, narrow command rail, large terminal workspace, and right-side telemetry panel aligned to an 8px grid.
### Density
Dense by default with compact rows and narrow gutters, but preserve enough line height for readable operational dashboards on small screens.
### Hierarchy
Primary hierarchy comes from phosphor brightness, uppercase prompt labels, bordered modules, and tabular rows; the largest type is still monospaced and technical.
### Signature Patterns
- Apply a global CRT overlay using repeating-linear-gradient scanlines plus a faint animated opacity shimmer on the body pseudo-layer.
- Prefix section titles and buttons with terminal syntax marks ($, >, ::, [01]) generated in markup or CSS before content.
- Draw amber corner ticks on panels with absolutely positioned ::before/::after pseudo-elements instead of border radius or drop-shadow decoration.
- Use block-cursor interactions: focused fields, selected navigation, and live status labels include a blinking rectangular caret or solid phosphor left bar.
- Render data as fixed-width command output rows with dotted grid separators and color-coded status tokens rather than pictorial cards.
## 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/phosphor-command-grid/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 Use IBM Plex Mono or a comparable technical monospace for all text, including numbers and form controls.
- Do Keep components square with explicit 1px borders, clear focus rings, and phosphor text-shadow only on high-value labels.
- Do Express navigation, filters, alerts, and actions through command-line language and bracketed status tokens.
- Do Balance CRT effects with legibility by keeping scanlines subtle and never placing heavy glow behind long paragraphs.
- Don't Do not use rounded cards, pill chips, soft gradients, or consumer-app shadows.
- Don't Do not turn the palette into neon cyberpunk; green is primary, amber and cyan are scarce operational accents.
- Don't Do not use decorative glitch animation that moves text or disrupts reading.
- Don't Do not replace structured dashboard content with nostalgic ASCII art unless it serves an actual interface purpose.

# Phosphor Command Grid shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `phosphor-command-grid`
Slug: `phosphor-command-grid`
## Intent
Phosphor Command Grid translates historical green-screen terminal constraints into a disciplined modern product interface: dense monospace information, black glass surfaces, square technical panels, and just enough CRT artifacting to make the system feel alive without becoming decorative nostalgia.
## 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

"secondary": "#0b2f26",
"success": "#00ff66",
"surface": "#0b1110",
"text": "#d7ffe5",
"warning": "#ffb454"
}
Typography:
{
"base_size": "16px",
"body_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap",
"heading_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
"letter_spacing": "0.01em",
"line_height": 1.55,
"mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
"scale_ratio": 1.2
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Every major container uses zero-radius 1px phosphor borders with amber corner ticks drawn by pseudo-elements for a calibrated instrument-panel edge.
- The entire interface sits on a deep charcoal base with layered repeating-linear-gradient scanlines and a radial green glow centered behind the working terminal.
- Headers, labels, and controls use uppercase IBM Plex Mono with command-prefix glyphs such as $, >, ::, and bracketed numeric indices.
- Information hierarchy is built from terminal rows, tabular metric cells, and fixed-width prompt blocks rather than soft cards or image-led marketing sections.
- Interactive elements expose a block cursor motif: focused inputs and active tabs show a rectangular phosphor caret or filled left marker instead of rounded highlights.

}
## 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/phosphor-command-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 IBM Plex Mono or a comparable technical monospace for all text, including numbers and form controls.; Keep components square with explicit 1px borders, clear focus rings, and phosphor text-shadow only on high-value labels.; Express navigation, filters, alerts, and actions through command-line language and bracketed status tokens.; Balance CRT effects with legibility by keeping scanlines subtle and never placing heavy glow behind long paragraphs.
- Do not: Do not use rounded cards, pill chips, soft gradients, or consumer-app shadows.; Do not turn the palette into neon cyberpunk; green is primary, amber and cyan are scarce operational accents.; Do not use decorative glitch animation that moves text or disrupts reading.; Do not replace structured dashboard content with nostalgic ASCII art unless it serves an actual interface purpose.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
```tsx
import { Badge } from "@/components/ui/badge";
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button";
import {
Card,
CardContent,
CardDescription,
CardFooter,
CardHeader,
CardTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/card";
import { Input } from "@/components/ui/input";
import { Tabs, TabsList, TabsTrigger } from "@/components/ui/tabs";
export function PhosphorCommandGridShadcnKit() {
return (

## Layout notes
{
"breakpoints": "Desktop >= 1100px uses three columns; tablet 700-1099px collapses to two columns with telemetry below; mobile < 700px becomes a single stacked console.",
"grid": "Desktop uses a 240px command rail, flexible central terminal, and 320px telemetry column; internal panels follow repeatable 8px grid increments.",
"whitespace": "Whitespace is compact and mechanical: 8px row gaps, 16-24px panel padding, and large empty areas only inside terminal output panes to imply screen depth."
