guidance
do
  • Use warm light neutrals as the dominant experience and reserve color for role, status, authorship, or next-action semantics.
  • Make the woven grid structural by aligning panels, row heights, separators, and empty cells to it.
  • Design data as textual operations: evidence ledgers, change queues, reference matrices, and source timelines.
  • Keep focus states visible with a blue outline plus flax offset so keyboard navigation remains clear.
  • Use Source Serif 4 for reflective knowledge headings and Inter for dense operational reading.
avoid
  • Do not create a KPI dashboard with large charts, gauges, saturated tiles, or generic executive analytics panels.
  • Do not turn the woven texture into decorative fabric wallpaper, ornamental borders, or high-contrast pattern fills.
  • Do not scatter many accent colors; every accent must map to a role or state and repeat consistently.
  • Do not rely on shadows, gradients, glass, or pillowy radii to create hierarchy.
  • Do not reduce the workspace to blank minimalism; it should carry believable text, rows, states, and annotations.

# Quiet Woven Knowledge Workspace

## Philosophy

A calm, text-first knowledge workspace where structure comes from low-contrast woven grid logic, not dashboard spectacle. Warm light neutrals carry reading surfaces while sparse role-based accents clarify ownership, state, and next action.

### Values

- reading before decoration
- structural texture
- role-based clarity
- quiet operational confidence
- accessible information density

### Anti-Values

- ornamental patterning
- analytics-dashboard theatre
- neon accent overload
- generic white SaaS cards
- chart-first hierarchy

### Visual Character

- Use a warm parchment background with two repeating-linear-gradient layers at 0 and 90 degrees to create a 24px low-contrast woven structural grid.
- Build primary surfaces as flat cream panels with one-pixel flax borders, square-to-small radii, and inner left rules instead of shadows or floating cards.
- Set a text-first hierarchy with Source Serif 4 headings, Inter body text, narrow measure columns, dense line-height rhythm, and small uppercase metadata labels.
- Apply sparse role accents as thin top bars, chips, and status dots using muted blue, sage, amber, and clay rather than large saturated blocks.
- Represent data as inline ledgers, timelines, annotated rows, and woven cell matrices rather than hero charts, gauges, or dashboard KPI tiles.

- Do not turn the woven texture into decorative fabric wallpaper, ornamental borders, or high-contrast pattern fills.
- Do not scatter many accent colors; every accent must map to a role or state and repeat consistently.
- Do not rely on shadows, gradients, glass, or pillowy radii to create hierarchy.
- Do not reduce the workspace to blank minimalism; it should carry believable text, rows, states, and annotations.

### Accessibility

Maintain WCAG AA contrast for body text and controls, never use color alone for role identity, keep visible focus rings, and avoid pattern contrast that competes with reading.

### Usage Context

Best for research notebooks, editorial knowledge bases, policy review tools, archive triage, source synthesis, and calm internal workspaces where reading, comparing, and annotating are primary.

# Quiet Woven Knowledge Workspace

## Overview

A calm, text-first knowledge workspace where structure comes from low-contrast woven grid logic, not dashboard spectacle. Warm light neutrals carry reading surfaces while sparse role-based accents clarify ownership, state, and next action.

### Values

- reading before decoration
- structural texture
- role-based clarity
- quiet operational confidence
- accessible information density

### Anti-Values

- ornamental patterning
- analytics-dashboard theatre
- neon accent overload
- generic white SaaS cards
- chart-first hierarchy

### Visual Character

- Use a warm parchment background with two repeating-linear-gradient layers at 0 and 90 degrees to create a 24px low-contrast woven structural grid.
- Build primary surfaces as flat cream panels with one-pixel flax borders, square-to-small radii, and inner left rules instead of shadows or floating cards.
- Set a text-first hierarchy with Source Serif 4 headings, Inter body text, narrow measure columns, dense line-height rhythm, and small uppercase metadata labels.
- Apply sparse role accents as thin top bars, chips, and status dots using muted blue, sage, amber, and clay rather than large saturated blocks.
- Represent data as inline ledgers, timelines, annotated rows, and woven cell matrices rather than hero charts, gauges, or dashboard KPI tiles.

## Colors

Use the YAML color tokens as the normative palette. The prose below names the roles agents should preserve when generating UI.

- **Lg**: `16px`
- **Xl**: `24px`

### Breakpoints

mobile <= 640px stacks source rail, document, and ledger; tablet 641px-980px uses two columns with the ledger below; desktop >= 981px uses the full three-zone workspace.

### Density

Prefer compact text surfaces and ledger rows over large cards; preserve readable 60-78 character measures for narrative content.

### Grid

Desktop uses a 12-column reading grid with a 240px source rail, 1fr document column, and 320px context ledger; modules snap to the 24px woven underlay.

### Whitespace

Whitespace is quiet but measured: 24px page gutters, 16px panel interiors, and 8px row rhythm keep dense text readable without marketing-card emptiness.

## Elevation & Depth

### Shadows

## Shapes

### Rounded

- **Full**: `9999px`
- **Lg**: `10px`
- **Md**: `6px`
- **None**: `0px`
- **Sm**: `3px`

### Surfaces

- **Bg Pattern**: two low-opacity perpendicular repeating-linear-gradients at 24px intervals plus occasional 6px thread ticks
- **Card Style**: flat cream panels, 1px flax border, 3-10px radius, inner annotation rules, and restrained role bars
- **Treatment**: warm matte paper surfaces over a structural woven grid, with low contrast cell seams and no glossy effects

### Borders

- **Accent Width**: 3px
- **Character**: flax-colored hairlines with role accents used as short woven tabs or left rules
- **Default Width**: 1px
- **Style**: solid

## Components

### Composition

Compose the product as a reading desk: a narrow rail for sources, a dominant written note column, and a right-side context ledger. The woven grid aligns modules and row baselines without becoming decoration.

### Density

Medium-high text density with compact rows and 8px rhythm, relieved by quiet 24px gutters and line-length limits for long-form reading.

### Hierarchy

Prioritize titles, excerpts, annotations, and authorship labels. Use serif headings for concepts, Inter for working prose, mono for timestamps and references, and accents only to mark role or state.

### Signature Patterns

- Woven grid underlay combines horizontal and vertical repeating-linear-gradients with opacity below six percent, visible mainly in gutters and empty states.
- Role-thread tabs use 3px accent strips clipped to panel edges and repeated on matching chips, dots, and row markers for semantic continuity.
- Not-dashboard data surfaces appear as ledgers, evidence rows, small matrices, and inline timelines with numbers embedded in prose instead of chart containers.
- Annotation panels use a fine inner rule, mono metadata, and compact serif summary blocks to feel like marginalia attached to a document.

## 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-019edcbf-683a-7793-b059-a20469a3415a/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 light neutrals as the dominant experience and reserve color for role, status, authorship, or next-action semantics.
- Do Make the woven grid structural by aligning panels, row heights, separators, and empty cells to it.
- Do Design data as textual operations: evidence ledgers, change queues, reference matrices, and source timelines.
- Do Keep focus states visible with a blue outline plus flax offset so keyboard navigation remains clear.
- Do Use Source Serif 4 for reflective knowledge headings and Inter for dense operational reading.
- Don't Do not create a KPI dashboard with large charts, gauges, saturated tiles, or generic executive analytics panels.
- Don't Do not turn the woven texture into decorative fabric wallpaper, ornamental borders, or high-contrast pattern fills.
- Don't Do not scatter many accent colors; every accent must map to a role or state and repeat consistently.
- Don't Do not rely on shadows, gradients, glass, or pillowy radii to create hierarchy.
- Don't Do not reduce the workspace to blank minimalism; it should carry believable text, rows, states, and annotations.

### Accessibility

Maintain WCAG AA contrast for body text and controls, never use color alone for role identity, keep visible focus rings, and avoid pattern contrast that competes with reading.

### Usage Context

Best for research notebooks, editorial knowledge bases, policy review tools, archive triage, source synthesis, and calm internal workspaces where reading, comparing, and annotating are primary.

# Quiet Woven Knowledge Workspace shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edcbf-683a-7793-b059-a20469a3415a`
Slug: `quiet-woven-knowledge-workspace`

## Intent

A calm, text-first knowledge workspace where structure comes from low-contrast woven grid logic, not dashboard spectacle. Warm light neutrals carry reading surfaces while sparse role-based accents clarify ownership, state, and next action.

## 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": "#A86D4A",
  "background": "#F6F0E6",
  "border": "#D8CCB8",
  "error": "#9B4E3F",
  "info": "#557386",
  "muted": "#7C7468",
  "primary": "#3F5F6F",
  "secondary": "#7B6A53",
  "success": "#607A5B",
  "surface": "#FFFBF3",
  "text": "#2F2A24",
  "warning": "#B0833F"
}

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&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500;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 parchment background with two repeating-linear-gradient layers at 0 and 90 degrees to create a 24px low-contrast woven structural grid.
- Build primary surfaces as flat cream panels with one-pixel flax borders, square-to-small radii, and inner left rules instead of shadows or floating cards.
- Set a text-first hierarchy with Source Serif 4 headings, Inter body text, narrow measure columns, dense line-height rhythm, and small uppercase metadata labels.
- Apply sparse role accents as thin top bars, chips, and status dots using muted blue, sage, amber, and clay rather than large saturated blocks.
- Represent data as inline ledgers, timelines, annotated rows, and woven cell matrices rather than hero charts, gauges, or dashboard KPI tiles.

## ShadSync visual profile

{
  "family": "paper-collage",
  "material": "paper",
  "contour": "default",
  "border": "solid",
  "underlay": true,
  "grain": true,

  "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/quiet-woven-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 warm light neutrals as the dominant experience and reserve color for role, status, authorship, or next-action semantics.; Make the woven grid structural by aligning panels, row heights, separators, and empty cells to it.; Design data as textual operations: evidence ledgers, change queues, reference matrices, and source timelines.; Keep focus states visible with a blue outline plus flax offset so keyboard navigation remains clear.; Use Source Serif 4 for reflective knowledge headings and Inter for dense operational reading.
- Do not: Do not create a KPI dashboard with large charts, gauges, saturated tiles, or generic executive analytics panels.; Do not turn the woven texture into decorative fabric wallpaper, ornamental borders, or high-contrast pattern fills.; Do not scatter many accent colors; every accent must map to a role or state and repeat consistently.; Do not rely on shadows, gradients, glass, or pillowy radii to create hierarchy.; Do not reduce the workspace to blank minimalism; it should carry believable text, rows, states, and annotations.

## 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 stacks source rail, document, and ledger; tablet 641px-980px uses two columns with the ledger below; desktop >= 981px uses the full three-zone workspace.",
  "density": "Prefer compact text surfaces and ledger rows over large cards; preserve readable 60-78 character measures for narrative content.",
  "grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column reading grid with a 240px source rail, 1fr document column, and 320px context ledger; modules snap to the 24px woven underlay.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace is quiet but measured: 24px page gutters, 16px panel interiors, and 8px row rhythm keep dense text readable without marketing-card emptiness."
