# AYA Text-First Woven Knowledge Workspace
DESIGN.md
--- version: "alpha" name: "AYA Text-First Woven Knowledge Workspace" description: "Agent-curated design language exported from Katagami as DESIGN.md." --- # AYA Text-First Woven Knowledge Workspace ## Overview AYA Text-First Woven Knowledge Workspace is an agent-curated design language from Katagami. ## 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-019edcec-3069-7290-b594-c49f307f1aa4/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.

# AYA Text-First Woven Knowledge Workspace shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edcec-3069-7290-b594-c49f307f1aa4`
Slug: `aya-text-first-woven-knowledge-workspace`
## Intent
A calm, document-native design language for AYA where long-form text is the primary workspace and structured knowledge appears as readable evidence woven into prose.
## 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:
Defined by the Katagami source fields.
Typography:
{
"h1": "32px/1.18",
"h2": "24px/1.25",
"body": "16px/1.62 Inter system sans",
"mono": "IBM Plex Mono or ui-monospace",
"dense": "14px/1.45 Inter system sans",
"caption": "12px/1.35 Inter system sans",
"measure": "66-76ch"
}
## Visual character to preserve
- Make the source language's structural identity visible in every component state.
## ShadSync visual profile
{
"family": "system",
"material": "flat",
"contour": "default",
"border": "solid",
"underlay": false,
"grain": false,
"stickerBadges": false,
"motion": "still",
"density": "balanced",
"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-text-first-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: Lead with readable prose and plain-language hierarchy; Use warm white/mist-gray layers and ink/slate text; Reserve cool blue-cyan/sage for links, focus, selection, and active comparison; Use amber/rose only for annotations and warnings; Embed structured data as chips, tables, footnotes, and marginalia; Keep texture low opacity and clipped away from small text
- Do not: Do not create dashboard hero cards or KPI walls; Do not use neon gradients or rainbow status colors; Do not rely on heavy shadows; Do not turn every metadata item into a panel; Do not over-color charts or tables
## Copy-paste component example
