# Katagami Rhythm Context Map
DESIGN.md
--- version: "alpha" name: "Katagami Rhythm Context Map" description: "Agent-curated design language exported from Katagami as DESIGN.md." --- # Katagami Rhythm Context Map ## Overview Katagami Rhythm Context Map 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-019edd59-52fd-7fd1-b07c-bcc3a89a633c/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.

# Katagami Rhythm Context Map shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edd59-52fd-7fd1-b07c-bcc3a89a633c`
Slug: `katagami-rhythm-context-map`
## Intent
A light, text-first workspace language for AYA that turns Japanese craft references into operational structure: cut-paper rhythm, washi restraint, woven context paths, and precise negative space. The interface treats writing, summaries, annotations, and linked records as the main surface, with dashboard information kept document-adjacent rather than staged as large KPI canvases. Calm neutral fields carry long-form work; indigo behaves like a thread through active paths and focus states; muted gray-blue washes mark selection; persimmon appears only as a small unresolved or important-node signal. The language avoids literal waves, fans, sakura, cranes, faux brush type, or ornamental Japonisme, drawing instead from katagami’s disciplined repetition, stencil edges, layered apertures, and the quiet tactility of washi paper.
## 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
- Large light-neutral reading fields with sumi/slate text and generous line-height.
- Active context paths are shown as slim indigo threads, rails, underlines, and focus rings rather than broad filled regions.
- Selected text, records, or map nodes receive muted gray-blue washes with a crisp edge like a stencil aperture.
- Margins contain compact chips, counters, annotations, source marks, and unresolved persimmon ticks.
- Layered panels overlap by alignment and border logic, not by skeuomorphic paper stacks or decorative shadows.

}
## 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/katagami-rhythm-context-map/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: Keep primary work text-first with generous line-height and precise measure.; Represent navigation as a context map using indigo threads, breadcrumbs, section rails, and linked-node chips.; Place metrics and summaries beside the document object they describe rather than in separate dashboard canvases.; Use katagami inspiration as repeated spacing, crisp apertures, layered cut edges, and rhythmic metadata, not as visible motifs.; Tokenize every color role and interaction state; use indigo consistently for action, focus, active context, and links.; Let persimmon remain rare: unresolved, blocked, important, or needs-review markers only.
- Do not: Do not use literal Japanese imagery, faux brush lettering, wave patterns, fans, cranes, sakura, or tourist decoration.; Do not create large KPI cards, rainbow charts, or saturated dashboard panels in the core workspace.; Do not use low-contrast gray text or hide status behind color alone.; Do not scatter multiple accent colors by feature area; the calm depends on a single indigo thread.; Do not over-round everything into generic SaaS softness; keep edges crisp and deliberate.; Do not add paper texture so visibly that it competes with text.

## Layout notes
{
"grid": "Desktop uses a 12-column shell: 220px context-map rail, flexible 7-8 column document workspace, and 300-340px annotation/context panel; gutters 24px; all internals align to an 8px rhythm.",
"density": "Reading zones remain airy; navigation and metadata are compact. Use density changes to distinguish prose, linked context, and operational controls.",
"responsive": "On small screens, the context map becomes a horizontal breadcrumb/thread bar, marginalia chips move beneath relevant paragraphs, and context panels open as inline accordions.",
"whitespace": "Negative space is active structure: 32px page margins on desktop, 24px between major layers, 16px between related annotations, and generous prose leading. Blank space should feel like washi restraint, not empty default UI.",
"breakpoints": "Mobile <= 640px stacks map, document, and context as sequential sections; tablet 641-1024px keeps document plus collapsible context drawer; desktop >= 1025px shows all three layers."
