summary
AYA Woven Minimalism makes a text-heavy product feel like a calm woven page: many contextual strands are visible at once, but hierarchy is restrained through thread lines, measured columns, soft off-white surfaces, and one sparing indigo accent rather than dashboard spectacle.
values
Prioritize long-form reading, scan confidence, and contextual continuity over chart-first dashboard framing.Use Japanese weaving and katagami as structural references: modular repeats, cut-paper negative space, fine joins, and asymmetry without literal motifs.Keep density elegant by making alignment, line length, and quiet dividers do more work than color or cards.Let one restrained accent mark decisions, active strands, and primary actions while charcoal text carries the interface.
anti-values
×No bamboo, torii, sakura, faux calligraphy, zen clichés, or decorative Japanese pastiche.×No neon analytics dashboards, glass panels, gradient blobs, or saturated multi-color status systems.×No generic equal-card SaaS grids that fragment reading into unrelated widgets.

guidance
do
  • Use warm off-white, charcoal, gray thread lines, and one restrained indigo or persimmon accent per composition.
  • Design for text first: visible titles, summaries, notes, metadata, filters, excerpts, and decisions should all be readable.
  • Let craft references appear as grid logic, perforation, notches, and woven connectors rather than illustration.
  • Maintain AA contrast and strong keyboard focus with a calm indigo outline.
avoid
  • Do not use literal Japanese icons, calligraphy textures, sakura, bamboo, or tourist visual shorthand.
  • Do not turn the interface into a KPI dashboard; data surfaces should support reading and operations.
  • Do not use heavy shadows, rounded glass cards, saturated category rainbows, or busy ornamental patterns.
  • Do not let fine lines become low-contrast: important structure must remain visible on laptop displays.

# AYA Woven Minimalism

## Philosophy

AYA Woven Minimalism makes a text-heavy product feel like a calm woven page: many contextual strands are visible at once, but hierarchy is restrained through thread lines, measured columns, soft off-white surfaces, and one sparing indigo accent rather than dashboard spectacle.

### Values

- Prioritize long-form reading, scan confidence, and contextual continuity over chart-first dashboard framing.
- Use Japanese weaving and katagami as structural references: modular repeats, cut-paper negative space, fine joins, and asymmetry without literal motifs.
- Keep density elegant by making alignment, line length, and quiet dividers do more work than color or cards.
- Let one restrained accent mark decisions, active strands, and primary actions while charcoal text carries the interface.

### Anti-Values

- No bamboo, torii, sakura, faux calligraphy, zen clichés, or decorative Japanese pastiche.
- No neon analytics dashboards, glass panels, gradient blobs, or saturated multi-color status systems.
- No generic equal-card SaaS grids that fragment reading into unrelated widgets.

### Visual Character

- Use a warm off-white page background with ivory surfaces separated by 1px gray thread borders and repeating-linear-gradient underlays that read as woven horizontal and vertical fibers.
- Build dense text modules on a 12-column editorial grid with long reading lanes, narrow marginal context rails, and deliberate asymmetrical spans instead of equal dashboard cards.
- Apply restrained indigo only to active strand markers, focus rings, primary actions, and tiny inline flags while all body copy remains charcoal with muted gray metadata.
- Create katagami-inspired negative-space cutouts through small notched corners, masked section labels, and modular stencil dots that align to the grid without becoming ornament.
- Use fine connector rules and over-under thread intersections to show relationships between notes, records, and decisions across adjacent text surfaces.

# AYA Woven Minimalism

## Overview

AYA Woven Minimalism makes a text-heavy product feel like a calm woven page: many contextual strands are visible at once, but hierarchy is restrained through thread lines, measured columns, soft off-white surfaces, and one sparing indigo accent rather than dashboard spectacle.

### Values

- Prioritize long-form reading, scan confidence, and contextual continuity over chart-first dashboard framing.
- Use Japanese weaving and katagami as structural references: modular repeats, cut-paper negative space, fine joins, and asymmetry without literal motifs.
- Keep density elegant by making alignment, line length, and quiet dividers do more work than color or cards.
- Let one restrained accent mark decisions, active strands, and primary actions while charcoal text carries the interface.

### Anti-Values

- No bamboo, torii, sakura, faux calligraphy, zen clichés, or decorative Japanese pastiche.
- No neon analytics dashboards, glass panels, gradient blobs, or saturated multi-color status systems.
- No generic equal-card SaaS grids that fragment reading into unrelated widgets.

### Visual Character

- Use a warm off-white page background with ivory surfaces separated by 1px gray thread borders and repeating-linear-gradient underlays that read as woven horizontal and vertical fibers.
- Build dense text modules on a 12-column editorial grid with long reading lanes, narrow marginal context rails, and deliberate asymmetrical spans instead of equal dashboard cards.
- Apply restrained indigo only to active strand markers, focus rings, primary actions, and tiny inline flags while all body copy remains charcoal with muted gray metadata.
- Create katagami-inspired negative-space cutouts through small notched corners, masked section labels, and modular stencil dots that align to the grid without becoming ornament.
- Use fine connector rules and over-under thread intersections to show relationships between notes, records, and decisions across adjacent text surfaces.

## Colors

## Layout

### Spacing Tokens

- **Base**: `8px`
- **Xs**: `4px`
- **Sm**: `8px`
- **Md**: `12px`
- **Lg**: `16px`
- **Xl**: `24px`
- **2xl**: `32px`

### Breakpoints

mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-1024px, desktop >= 1025px; rails stack after the primary reading lane while strand labels remain visible.

### Grid

Desktop uses 12 columns with a 1040-1180px max reading field: 6-column primary text lane, 3-column context rail, 2-column index rail, and one narrow thread gutter.

### Whitespace

Whitespace is measured like cloth selvage: broad page margins of 32-64px, compact 8-16px internal gaps, and clear pauses after every third dense cluster.

## Elevation & Depth

### Shadows

- **Lg**: 0 18px 48px rgba(37,35,31,0.08)
- **Md**: 0 8px 24px rgba(37,35,31,0.06)

## Shapes

### Rounded

- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `8px`
- **Md**: `4px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `2px`

### Surfaces

- **Bg Pattern**: two crossing repeating-linear-gradients at 24px and 32px intervals, both under 45% opacity
- **Card Style**: thin gray thread border, square-to-2px corners, occasional notched label cutout, compact internal rhythm
- **Treatment**: matte ivory panels on a warm off-white ground with faint woven fiber gradients and no glossy effects

### Borders

- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: hairline gray thread rules that join across modules; indigo rule only for active strand or focus
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid with occasional dotted stencil perforation

## Components

### Composition

Compose screens as reading surfaces, not dashboards: a central document lane, adjacent context strands, and a slim activity rail interlace through aligned rules and shared baselines.

### Density

High density is acceptable when line height stays generous, dividers remain hairline, and each cluster has a calm off-white breathing margin.

### Hierarchy

Reserve large type for section orientation only; use weight, indentation, line length, metadata tone, and thread markers to create hierarchy inside dense copy.

### Signature Patterns

- Woven thread grid: background and panel separators use crossing repeating-linear-gradients plus 1px rules that continue through gutters.
- Katagami label notches: section headers sit in small masked tabs with cut corners, stencil dots, and negative-space breaks in the border.
- Context strand connectors: records, comments, and decisions are linked by fine gray rules with one indigo overpass marker for the active relationship.
- Accent sparseness: indigo or persimmon appears only as a 2px left thread, focus outline, single badge, or primary action state per viewport.

## 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-019edab2-18e5-7be1-84cb-17e2c2472814/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 warm off-white, charcoal, gray thread lines, and one restrained indigo or persimmon accent per composition.
- Do Design for text first: visible titles, summaries, notes, metadata, filters, excerpts, and decisions should all be readable.
- Do Let craft references appear as grid logic, perforation, notches, and woven connectors rather than illustration.
- Do Maintain AA contrast and strong keyboard focus with a calm indigo outline.
- Don't Do not use literal Japanese icons, calligraphy textures, sakura, bamboo, or tourist visual shorthand.
- Don't Do not turn the interface into a KPI dashboard; data surfaces should support reading and operations.
- Don't Do not use heavy shadows, rounded glass cards, saturated category rainbows, or busy ornamental patterns.
- Don't Do not let fine lines become low-contrast: important structure must remain visible on laptop displays.

# AYA Woven Minimalism shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edab2-18e5-7be1-84cb-17e2c2472814`
Slug: `aya-woven-minimalism`

## Intent

AYA Woven Minimalism makes a text-heavy product feel like a calm woven page: many contextual strands are visible at once, but hierarchy is restrained through thread lines, measured columns, soft off-white surfaces, and one sparing indigo accent rather than dashboard 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": "#B85B35",
  "background": "#FBF7EF",
  "border": "#D8D1C6",
  "error": "#A94438",
  "info": "#2F5D8C",
  "muted": "#756F66",
  "primary": "#2F5D8C",
  "secondary": "#F6F0E6",
  "success": "#4F7352",
  "surface": "#FFFDF8",
  "text": "#25231F",
  "warning": "#9A6A24"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "IBM Plex Sans",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&family=IBM+Plex+Sans:wght@400;450;500;600&family=Source+Serif+4:opsz,wght@8..60,500;8..60,600&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Source Serif 4",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
  "line_height": 1.58,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.2
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Use a warm off-white page background with ivory surfaces separated by 1px gray thread borders and repeating-linear-gradient underlays that read as woven horizontal and vertical fibers.
- Build dense text modules on a 12-column editorial grid with long reading lanes, narrow marginal context rails, and deliberate asymmetrical spans instead of equal dashboard cards.
- Apply restrained indigo only to active strand markers, focus rings, primary actions, and tiny inline flags while all body copy remains charcoal with muted gray metadata.
- Create katagami-inspired negative-space cutouts through small notched corners, masked section labels, and modular stencil dots that align to the grid without becoming ornament.
- Use fine connector rules and over-under thread intersections to show relationships between notes, records, and decisions across adjacent text surfaces.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "editorial",
  "material": "flat",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": false,
  "stickerBadges": true,
  "motion": "still",
  "density": "dense",
  "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/aya-woven-minimalism/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 warm off-white, charcoal, gray thread lines, and one restrained indigo or persimmon accent per composition.; Design for text first: visible titles, summaries, notes, metadata, filters, excerpts, and decisions should all be readable.; Let craft references appear as grid logic, perforation, notches, and woven connectors rather than illustration.; Maintain AA contrast and strong keyboard focus with a calm indigo outline.
- Do not: Do not use literal Japanese icons, calligraphy textures, sakura, bamboo, or tourist visual shorthand.; Do not turn the interface into a KPI dashboard; data surfaces should support reading and operations.; Do not use heavy shadows, rounded glass cards, saturated category rainbows, or busy ornamental patterns.; Do not let fine lines become low-contrast: important structure must remain visible on laptop displays.

## 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

{
  "breakpoints": "mobile <= 640px, tablet 641px-1024px, desktop >= 1025px; rails stack after the primary reading lane while strand labels remain visible.",
  "grid": "Desktop uses 12 columns with a 1040-1180px max reading field: 6-column primary text lane, 3-column context rail, 2-column index rail, and one narrow thread gutter.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace is measured like cloth selvage: broad page margins of 32-64px, compact 8-16px internal gaps, and clear pauses after every third dense cluster."
