rules
Compose screens as a working ledger: a narrow context rail, a dominant review table or document panel, and compact status cards that sit inside ruled paper sections.
Support dense operational reading with 14px tables, 16px body copy, tabular numbers, clipped labels, and generous line-height rather than oversized cards.
Hierarchy comes from ink weight, spacing, section rules, and small accent threads; the primary indigo appears only on active navigation, focus, links, and one key action.
layout
mobile 375px, tablet 768px, desktop 1200px, wide 1440px
Desktop uses a 12-column shell with a 248px rail and 24px gutters; content modules align to 8px baseline increments.
Whitespace is measured but not airy: 16px within dense cards, 24px between ledger groups, 32px around major work surfaces.
guidance
- Use off-white fields, white panels, warm-gray dividers, and near-black text as the default experience.
- Reserve aizome indigo for active state, links, focus, and the one primary action per view.
- Assign semantic accents to tiny markers: sage success, persimmon warning, pale gold attention, lacquer red destructive/error.
- Keep data visualization muted with direct labels and small accent marks rather than saturated chart fields.
- Do not introduce extra accent colors or rainbow dashboards.
- Do not use large colored backgrounds for status states when a thread marker or badge will work.
- Do not add decorative wave patterns, cherry blossoms, fans, or overt traditional motifs.
- Do not mix arbitrary radii; keep the committed ledger geometry.

# AYA Quiet Ledger ## Philosophy AYA Quiet Ledger is a restrained light interface language for dense reading, operational review, and calm dashboard work, using off-white paper surfaces, warm graphite boundaries, and a tiny set of Japanese heritage accents assigned to explicit semantic duties. ### Values - dense text remains comfortable before decoration appears - heritage color is treated as operational notation rather than ornament - quiet surfaces, crisp separators, and narrow focus states create confidence - dashboard data uses small measured marks instead of colorful spectacle ### Anti-Values - rainbow semantic palettes that compete with body copy - generic white SaaS cards with arbitrary shadows and rounded corners - decorative Japanese motifs detached from product structure ### Visual Character - Use a white page over an off-white inset field with 1px warm-gray rule lines and almost no shadow, so structure is made by paper contrast and borders. - Render primary actions, links, and keyboard focus as thin aizome indigo strokes plus compact solid indigo pills, never as broad blue fills across the screen. - Treat semantic accents as small side threads, table ticks, badges, or chart marks using persimmon, sage, pale gold, and lacquer red in isolated 4px to 12px details. - Set dense reading in near-black ink with tabular numeric columns, tight section labels, and generous line height instead of large display typography. - Use square-ish 10px container radii and 6px control radii consistently, with subtle clipped corner thread markers on important panels. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 3px - **Character**: warm-gray hairlines with indigo focus rings and small semantic side threads - **Default Width**: 1px - **Style**: solid ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | accent | `#D77A33` | | background | `#FBFAF7` | | border | `#D9D2C7` | | error | `#8F2F2A` | | info | `#244C73` | | muted | `#7A746B` | | primary | `#244C73` | | secondary | `#756E64` | | success | `#6F8A63` | | surface | `#FFFFFF` | | text | `#1B1A17` | | warning | `#D77A33` | ### Motion - **Duration**: 160ms - **Easing**: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0.1, 1) - **Philosophy**: motion is limited to focus reveal, row selection, and overlay entry;

# AYA Quiet Ledger
## Overview
AYA Quiet Ledger is a restrained light interface language for dense reading, operational review, and calm dashboard work, using off-white paper surfaces, warm graphite boundaries, and a tiny set of Japanese heritage accents assigned to explicit semantic duties.
### Values
- dense text remains comfortable before decoration appears
- heritage color is treated as operational notation rather than ornament
- quiet surfaces, crisp separators, and narrow focus states create confidence
- dashboard data uses small measured marks instead of colorful spectacle
### Anti-Values
- rainbow semantic palettes that compete with body copy
- generic white SaaS cards with arbitrary shadows and rounded corners
- decorative Japanese motifs detached from product structure
### Visual Character
- Use a white page over an off-white inset field with 1px warm-gray rule lines and almost no shadow, so structure is made by paper contrast and borders.
- Render primary actions, links, and keyboard focus as thin aizome indigo strokes plus compact solid indigo pills, never as broad blue fills across the screen.
- Treat semantic accents as small side threads, table ticks, badges, or chart marks using persimmon, sage, pale gold, and lacquer red in isolated 4px to 12px details.
- Set dense reading in near-black ink with tabular numeric columns, tight section labels, and generous line height instead of large display typography.
- Use square-ish 10px container radii and 6px control radii consistently, with subtle clipped corner thread markers on important panels.
## 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 | `#D77A33` |
| background | `#FBFAF7` |
| border | `#D9D2C7` |
| error | `#8F2F2A` |
| info | `#244C73` |
| muted | `#7A746B` |
| primary | `#244C73` |
| secondary | `#756E64` |
| success | `#6F8A63` |
| surface | `#FFFFFF` |
| text | `#1B1A17` |
| warning | `#D77A33` |

- **Character**: warm-gray hairlines with indigo focus rings and small semantic side threads
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Compose screens as a working ledger: a narrow context rail, a dominant review table or document panel, and compact status cards that sit inside ruled paper sections.
### Density
Support dense operational reading with 14px tables, 16px body copy, tabular numbers, clipped labels, and generous line-height rather than oversized cards.
### Hierarchy
Hierarchy comes from ink weight, spacing, section rules, and small accent threads; the primary indigo appears only on active navigation, focus, links, and one key action.
### Signature Patterns
- Thread markers: 3px vertical or top border accents attach semantic meaning to panels, rows, and badges without flooding the component with color.
- Ruled paper strata: large areas use off-white backgrounds with repeating hairline rules and white inset cards to separate dense content calmly.
- Ink-first tabular rhythm: tables use near-black copy, tabular numerals, warm-gray dividers, and tiny colored ticks for status instead of full-row fills.
- Aizome focus seam: interactive focus appears as a 2px indigo outline plus a 2px offset seam, echoed by underlined links and selected navigation.
## 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-019edc15-8fb6-73d0-9280-7cf029ce549f/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 off-white fields, white panels, warm-gray dividers, and near-black text as the default experience.
- Do Reserve aizome indigo for active state, links, focus, and the one primary action per view.
- Do Assign semantic accents to tiny markers: sage success, persimmon warning, pale gold attention, lacquer red destructive/error.
- Do Keep data visualization muted with direct labels and small accent marks rather than saturated chart fields.
- Don't Do not introduce extra accent colors or rainbow dashboards.
- Don't Do not use large colored backgrounds for status states when a thread marker or badge will work.
- Don't Do not add decorative wave patterns, cherry blossoms, fans, or overt traditional motifs.
- Don't Do not mix arbitrary radii; keep the committed ledger geometry.
### Accessibility
Core text and controls meet WCAG AA contrast; status is never color-only because badges include labels, icons, or position; indigo focus seams are visible on white and off-white surfaces.
### Usage Context
Best for AYA-style knowledge operations, editorial workflow tools, archive review systems, clinical-adjacent notes, compliance dashboards, and calm internal products that must support extended reading.

# AYA Quiet Ledger shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edc15-8fb6-73d0-9280-7cf029ce549f`
Slug: `aya-quiet-ledger`
## Intent
AYA Quiet Ledger is a restrained light interface language for dense reading, operational review, and calm dashboard work, using off-white paper surfaces, warm graphite boundaries, and a tiny set of Japanese heritage accents assigned to explicit semantic duties.
## 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": "#D77A33",
"background": "#FBFAF7",
"border": "#D9D2C7",
"error": "#8F2F2A",
"info": "#244C73",
"muted": "#7A746B",
"primary": "#244C73",
"secondary": "#756E64",
"success": "#6F8A63",
"surface": "#FFFFFF",
"text": "#1B1A17",
"warning": "#D77A33"
}
Typography:
{
"base_size": "16px",
"body_font": "IBM Plex Sans JP",
"google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&family=IBM+Plex+Sans+JP:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap",
"heading_font": "IBM Plex Sans JP",
"letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
"line_height": 1.58,
"mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
"scale_ratio": 1.2
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Use a white page over an off-white inset field with 1px warm-gray rule lines and almost no shadow, so structure is made by paper contrast and borders.
- Render primary actions, links, and keyboard focus as thin aizome indigo strokes plus compact solid indigo pills, never as broad blue fills across the screen.
- Treat semantic accents as small side threads, table ticks, badges, or chart marks using persimmon, sage, pale gold, and lacquer red in isolated 4px to 12px details.
- Set dense reading in near-black ink with tabular numeric columns, tight section labels, and generous line height instead of large display typography.
- Use square-ish 10px container radii and 6px control radii consistently, with subtle clipped corner thread markers on important panels.

}
## 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-quiet-ledger/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 off-white fields, white panels, warm-gray dividers, and near-black text as the default experience.; Reserve aizome indigo for active state, links, focus, and the one primary action per view.; Assign semantic accents to tiny markers: sage success, persimmon warning, pale gold attention, lacquer red destructive/error.; Keep data visualization muted with direct labels and small accent marks rather than saturated chart fields.
- Do not: Do not introduce extra accent colors or rainbow dashboards.; Do not use large colored backgrounds for status states when a thread marker or badge will work.; Do not add decorative wave patterns, cherry blossoms, fans, or overt traditional motifs.; Do not mix arbitrary radii; keep the committed ledger geometry.
## Copy-paste component example
This generated starter proves the import shape. Production Katagami agents should replace it with a language-specific product composition.
