rules
Use a persistent left context rail, a top status bar, and dense work panels arranged on a 12-column grid.
Prefer compact ledgers, tabular alignment, and grouped cards over sparse marketing layouts.
Lead with typography, metadata strips, and stable spacing; reserve accent color for active state, review gates, and health indicators.

# Light Katagami Weave Workspace
## Overview
A repaired live-operations design language for high-trust editorial and curation workflows, combining warm paper-like surfaces with precise system instrumentation.
### Values
- verified artifacts over promise
- calm operational focus
- dense but legible workspace hierarchy
- traceable review state
### Anti-Values
- placeholder styling
- unverified thumbnails
- decorative ambiguity
- browser-default controls
### Visual Character
- warm neutral canvas with faint ruled-grid texture and crisp bordered panels
- left-rule accents and compact metadata strips that expose state without visual noise
- text-first application screens with card ledgers, status pills, and stable rails
- restrained amber and teal accents used for review gates, active navigation, and confidence states
## 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 | `#D28A2E` |
| background | `#F6F1E8` |
| border | `#D8CEBD` |
| error | `#B7443E` |
| focus | `#E7B15A` |
| info | `#2E638A` |
| muted | `#69716B` |
| primary | `#275E63` |
| secondary | `#6F4A2B` |
| success | `#2F7D55` |
| surface | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface_alt | `#FBF8F1` |
| text | `#1F211D` |
| warning | `#B8791D` |

### Whitespace
8px spacing scale with 24px section rhythm and compact card gutters
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 24px 60px rgba(24,21,16,.16)
- **Md**: 0 12px 28px rgba(24,21,16,.12)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 2px rgba(24,21,16,.08)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `14px`
- **Md**: `8px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `4px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: subtle ruled grid
- **Card Style**: thin bordered cards with structural dividers
- **Treatment**: paper-warm layered panels
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 3px
- **Character**: quiet separators with assertive left-rule state
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid
## Components
### Composition
Use a persistent left context rail, a top status bar, and dense work panels arranged on a 12-column grid.
### Density
Prefer compact ledgers, tabular alignment, and grouped cards over sparse marketing layouts.
### Hierarchy
Lead with typography, metadata strips, and stable spacing; reserve accent color for active state, review gates, and health indicators.
### Signature Patterns
- left-rule accents for active panels, selected rows, and currently repaired artifacts
- monospace metadata strips above cards and section headers
- bordered white and ivory surfaces on a warm ruled background
- status pills that combine a small dot, concise label, and muted border
- verification tables with explicit Ready, Created, and Blocked states
## 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-019edc74-9dc2-7641-9bd7-91f5ccf244c3/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 show real repair state
- Do make file readiness visible
- Do use structural borders before color
- Do keep controls custom and readable
- Don't ship placeholder cards
- Don't attach unverified files
- Don't hide critical state in decorative graphics
- Don't use generic gradients as the core identity

- button
- card
- input
- textarea
- select
- dialog
- sheet
- tabs
- badge
- separator
- checkbox
- switch
- slider
- tooltip
- dropdown-menu

}
## Visual character to preserve
- warm neutral canvas with faint ruled-grid texture and crisp bordered panels
- left-rule accents and compact metadata strips that expose state without visual noise
- text-first application screens with card ledgers, status pills, and stable rails
- restrained amber and teal accents used for review gates, active navigation, and confidence states
## ShadSync visual profile

"family": "paper-collage",
"material": "paper",

}
## 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/light-katagami-weave-workspace/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: show real repair state; make file readiness visible; use structural borders before color; keep controls custom and readable
- Do not: ship placeholder cards; attach unverified files; hide critical state in decorative graphics; use generic gradients as the core identity
## 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 LightKatagamiWeaveWorkspaceShadcnKit() {
return (
<section className="grid gap-4 rounded-[var(--radius)] border bg-background p-4 text-foreground">
<div className="flex items-start justify-between gap-4">
<div>
<Badge variant="outline">shadcn/ui</Badge>
<h2 className="mt-3 text-2xl font-semibold tracking-tight">Light Katagami Weave Workspace</h2>
<p className="mt-1 max-w-xl text-sm text-muted-foreground">
Use the Katagami registry theme, then compose these shadcn primitives
with the language-specific component recipes.
