rules
Use a native productivity shell: fixed left source rail, contextual middle index, and a broad reading/editing pane whose prose width is protected inside a larger canvas.
Medium-high information density is allowed when rows have clear rhythm, 8px spacing increments, and readable 1.55 to 1.7 line height for prose.
Prioritize content titles, summaries, and document state. Navigation is smaller and quieter; actions appear as labeled text buttons with indigo or brass rule accents.
layout
mobile 375px collapses rails into stacked sections; tablet 768px keeps source rail above content; desktop 1200px+ uses three columns.
Desktop uses a 240px source rail, 312px index column, and flexible editor pane on an 8px baseline with 24px page gutters.
Whitespace is calm but not empty: 16px inside compact controls, 24px between panels, 32px around reading sections, with prose max-width near 760px.
guidance
- Use clear section names and plain-language action labels.
- Maintain warm light surfaces with high-contrast ink text.
- Show document status through small chips, rule accents, and metadata rows.
- Keep long-form content in a protected readable measure.
- Do not add literal paper photos, torn edges, leather, or desk-object ornament.
- Do not use dark dramatic gradients or neon glass effects.
- Do not hide primary content behind icon-only navigation.
- Do not round every surface into bubbly generic SaaS cards.

# Quiet Craft Knowledge Workspace ## Philosophy Quiet Craft Knowledge Workspace is a light, text-first product language for research notes, documentation, and operational knowledge bases. It uses the abstraction of careful bookbinding and annotated paper without literal skeuomorphic leather, wood, or stationery props. ### Values - legible long-form reading before decoration - calm hierarchy for dense knowledge work - craft expressed through measured borders and registration marks - editorial clarity with native application pragmatism ### Anti-Values - dark-mode-first drama or glowing dashboard spectacle - literal parchment textures, torn paper, or skeuomorphic desk objects - generic white SaaS cards with uncommitted spacing - low-contrast gray text that makes documentation tiring ### Visual Character - Use an off-white canvas with subtly warmer surface panels, 1px hairline borders, and inset rule bands that frame reading regions like bound folios. - Build navigation as a quiet manuscript rail: compact section labels, small indigo active notches, and lichen metadata pills aligned to an 8px grid. - Render content with editorial type hierarchy, generous line height, narrow measure for prose, and monospaced annotation chips for IDs and statuses. - Add craft abstraction through corner registration ticks, ruled dividers, brass focus rings, and low-opacity fiber-like linear gradients rather than pictures. - Keep controls rectangular with softened 6px corners, visible text labels, restrained clay and indigo accents, and no heavy shadows or glossy effects. ## Tokens ### Borders - **Accent Width**: 2px - **Character**: fine bookbinding-like rules, never chunky outlines - **Default Width**: 1px - **Style**: solid hairline with occasional inset double rules ### Colors | Name | Value | |------|-------| | accent | `#A66A4B` | | background | `#F7F2E8` | | border | `#D8CEBC` | | error | `#A4473F` | | info | `#4F678C` | | muted | `#756F63` | | primary | `#3F4D7A` | | secondary | `#66765A` | | success | `#5C744B` | | surface | `#FFFDF7` | | text | `#25231E` | | warning | `#B58A3A` | ### Motion - **Duration**: 140ms - **Easing**: cubic-bezier(0.2, 0, 0.16, 1) - **Philosophy**: small color, underline, and border transitions that feel like moving a paper marker, with no bounce ### Radii - **Full**: 9999px - **Lg**: 10px - **Md**: 6px - **None**: 0 - **Sm**: 3px ### Shadows - **Lg**: 0 18px 46px rgba(79, 67, 48, 0.12) - **Md**: 0 10px 24px rgba(79, 67, 48, 0.08) - **Sm**: 0 1px 0 rgba(63, 77, 122, 0.08) ### Spacing - **Base**: 8px - **Scale**: [4,8,12,16,24,32,48,64] ### Surfaces - **Bg Pattern**: subtle repeating linear gradients at 24px rhythm, opacity below 0.35 - **Card Style**: single hairline border, square registration ticks, and interior ruled header strip - **Treatment**: warm off-white panels with almost-flat elevation and faint vertical fiber gradients ### Typography - **Base Size**: 16px - **Body Font**: Inter - **Google Fonts Url**: https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Source+Serif+4:opsz,wght@8..60,500;8..60,650;8..60,700&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;600&display=swap - **Heading Font**: Source Serif 4 - **Letter Spacing**: -0.01em - **Line Height**: 1.62 - **Mono Font**: IBM Plex Mono - **Scale Ratio**: 1.22 ## Rules ### Composition Use a native productivity shell: fixed left source rail, contextual middle index, and a broad reading/editing pane whose prose width is protected inside a larger canvas. ### Density Medium-high information density is allowed when rows have clear rhythm, 8px spacing increments, and readable 1.55 to 1.7 line height for prose. ### Hierarchy Prioritize content titles, summaries, and document state.

# Quiet Craft Knowledge Workspace
## Overview
Quiet Craft Knowledge Workspace is a light, text-first product language for research notes, documentation, and operational knowledge bases. It uses the abstraction of careful bookbinding and annotated paper without literal skeuomorphic leather, wood, or stationery props.
### Values
- legible long-form reading before decoration
- calm hierarchy for dense knowledge work
- craft expressed through measured borders and registration marks
- editorial clarity with native application pragmatism
### Anti-Values
- dark-mode-first drama or glowing dashboard spectacle
- literal parchment textures, torn paper, or skeuomorphic desk objects
- generic white SaaS cards with uncommitted spacing
- low-contrast gray text that makes documentation tiring
### Visual Character
- Use an off-white canvas with subtly warmer surface panels, 1px hairline borders, and inset rule bands that frame reading regions like bound folios.
- Build navigation as a quiet manuscript rail: compact section labels, small indigo active notches, and lichen metadata pills aligned to an 8px grid.
- Render content with editorial type hierarchy, generous line height, narrow measure for prose, and monospaced annotation chips for IDs and statuses.
- Add craft abstraction through corner registration ticks, ruled dividers, brass focus rings, and low-opacity fiber-like linear gradients rather than pictures.
- Keep controls rectangular with softened 6px corners, visible text labels, restrained clay and indigo accents, and no heavy shadows or glossy effects.
## 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 | `#A66A4B` |
| background | `#F7F2E8` |
| border | `#D8CEBC` |
| error | `#A4473F` |
| info | `#4F678C` |
| muted | `#756F63` |
| primary | `#3F4D7A` |
| secondary | `#66765A` |
| success | `#5C744B` |
| surface | `#FFFDF7` |
| text | `#25231E` |
| warning | `#B58A3A` |
## Typography
- **Headline-Lg**: Source Serif 4, 1.816rem, weight 700, line-height 1.1.
- **Headline-Md**: Source Serif 4, 1.488rem, weight 600, line-height 1.15.
- **Body-Md**: Inter, 16px, weight 400, line-height 1.62.
- **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
mobile 375px collapses rails into stacked sections; tablet 768px keeps source rail above content; desktop 1200px+ uses three columns.
### Grid
Desktop uses a 240px source rail, 312px index column, and flexible editor pane on an 8px baseline with 24px page gutters.
### Whitespace
Whitespace is calm but not empty: 16px inside compact controls, 24px between panels, 32px around reading sections, with prose max-width near 760px.
## Elevation & Depth
### Shadows
- **Lg**: 0 18px 46px rgba(79, 67, 48, 0.12)
- **Md**: 0 10px 24px rgba(79, 67, 48, 0.08)
- **Sm**: 0 1px 0 rgba(63, 77, 122, 0.08)
## Shapes
### Rounded
- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `10px`
- **Md**: `6px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `3px`
### Surfaces
- **Bg Pattern**: subtle repeating linear gradients at 24px rhythm, opacity below 0.35
- **Card Style**: single hairline border, square registration ticks, and interior ruled header strip
- **Treatment**: warm off-white panels with almost-flat elevation and faint vertical fiber gradients
### Borders
- **Accent Width**: 2px
- **Character**: fine bookbinding-like rules, never chunky outlines
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid hairline with occasional inset double rules
## Components
### Composition
Use a native productivity shell: fixed left source rail, contextual middle index, and a broad reading/editing pane whose prose width is protected inside a larger canvas.
### Density
Medium-high information density is allowed when rows have clear rhythm, 8px spacing increments, and readable 1.55 to 1.7 line height for prose.
### Hierarchy
Prioritize content titles, summaries, and document state. Navigation is smaller and quieter; actions appear as labeled text buttons with indigo or brass rule accents.
### Signature Patterns
- Corner registration ticks on cards and editor panes using absolutely positioned 8px hairline segments in muted brass or border color.
- Ruled folio headers with a thin overline, compact eyebrow text, and a faint horizontal writing-rule gradient behind metadata.
- Active navigation markers are narrow indigo side notches plus a lichen-tinted pill, never filled blue tabs or glowing selections.
- Annotation chips use IBM Plex Mono, dotted-underlined labels, and clay/brass semantic strokes to distinguish draft, reviewed, and blocked states.
- Large reading surfaces carry an inner max-width column while side notes sit in bordered marginalia cells connected by hairline separators.
## 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-019edc9e-c102-7b20-8045-801a761b958b/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 clear section names and plain-language action labels.
- Do Maintain warm light surfaces with high-contrast ink text.
- Do Show document status through small chips, rule accents, and metadata rows.
- Do Keep long-form content in a protected readable measure.
- Don't Do not add literal paper photos, torn edges, leather, or desk-object ornament.
- Don't Do not use dark dramatic gradients or neon glass effects.
- Don't Do not hide primary content behind icon-only navigation.
- Don't Do not round every surface into bubbly generic SaaS cards.

# Quiet Craft Knowledge Workspace shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edc9e-c102-7b20-8045-801a761b958b`
Slug: `quiet-craft-knowledge-workspace`
## Intent
Quiet Craft Knowledge Workspace is a light, text-first product language for research notes, documentation, and operational knowledge bases. It uses the abstraction of careful bookbinding and annotated paper without literal skeuomorphic leather, wood, or stationery props.
## 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`.

## Visual character to preserve
- Use an off-white canvas with subtly warmer surface panels, 1px hairline borders, and inset rule bands that frame reading regions like bound folios.
- Build navigation as a quiet manuscript rail: compact section labels, small indigo active notches, and lichen metadata pills aligned to an 8px grid.
- Render content with editorial type hierarchy, generous line height, narrow measure for prose, and monospaced annotation chips for IDs and statuses.
- Add craft abstraction through corner registration ticks, ruled dividers, brass focus rings, and low-opacity fiber-like linear gradients rather than pictures.
- Keep controls rectangular with softened 6px corners, visible text labels, restrained clay and indigo accents, and no heavy shadows or glossy effects.

}
## 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/quiet-craft-knowledge-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: Use clear section names and plain-language action labels.; Maintain warm light surfaces with high-contrast ink text.; Show document status through small chips, rule accents, and metadata rows.; Keep long-form content in a protected readable measure.
- Do not: Do not add literal paper photos, torn edges, leather, or desk-object ornament.; Do not use dark dramatic gradients or neon glass effects.; Do not hide primary content behind icon-only navigation.; Do not round every surface into bubbly generic SaaS cards.
## 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 QuietCraftKnowledgeWorkspaceShadcnKit() {
return (
<section className="grid gap-4 rounded-[var(--radius)] border bg-background p-4 text-foreground">

## Layout notes
{
"breakpoints": "mobile 375px collapses rails into stacked sections; tablet 768px keeps source rail above content; desktop 1200px+ uses three columns.",
"grid": "Desktop uses a 240px source rail, 312px index column, and flexible editor pane on an 8px baseline with 24px page gutters.",
"whitespace": "Whitespace is calm but not empty: 16px inside compact controls, 24px between panels, 32px around reading sections, with prose max-width near 760px."
