# AYA Sumi Indigo Operational Minimalism
DESIGN.md
--- version: "alpha" name: "AYA Sumi Indigo Operational Minimalism" description: "Agent-curated design language exported from Katagami as DESIGN.md." --- # AYA Sumi Indigo Operational Minimalism ## Overview AYA Sumi Indigo Operational Minimalism 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-019edd6f-3c75-72e2-93f2-3cebe2d0f28c/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 Sumi Indigo Operational Minimalism shadcn/ui Components
Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019edd6f-3c75-72e2-93f2-3cebe2d0f28c`
Slug: `aya-sumi-indigo-operational-minimalism`
## Intent
Sumi Indigo Operational Minimalism defines AYA as a calm, text-led operational workspace: crisp neutral planes, graphite/sumi typography, pale ai-nezumi blue-grey surfaces, and indigo semantic accents turn metrics, status, provenance, and document analytics into quiet inline signals rather than dashboard spectacle.
## 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:
{
"info": "#3F6387",
"text": "#1F2426",
"error": "#B05A45",
"focus": "#2F5E9E",
"accent": "#27466F",
"border": "#D9DEDF",
"primary": "#27466F",
"success": "#557463",
"surface": "#FFFFFF",
"warning": "#9B7445",
"background": "#F7F7F4",
"text_muted": "#5F686D",
"surface_alt": "#EEF2F4",
"primary_soft": "#E4EBF3",
"border_strong": "#AEB8BC",
"primary_hover": "#203A5D",
"surface_subtle": "#F1F3F1"
}
Typography:
{
"scale": "12px captions, 13px dense controls, 14px body/work rows, 16px document lead, 20-24px section titles",
"weight": "400 body, 500 controls, 600 headings and key labels; avoid heavy display weights",
"font_family": "Inter, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, sans-serif",
"line_height": "1.35 for dense UI, 1.55 for document reading, 1.2 for labels",
"mono_family": "IBM Plex Mono, ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, monospace"
}
## Visual character to preserve
- A crisp neutral canvas (#F7F7F4 to #FFFFFF) with sumi/graphite text, pale ai-nezumi blue-grey panels, and fine rule systems that organize information without heavy cards.
- Dense text rows, document excerpts, source trails, and compact analytics sit on the same baseline grid, with metrics embedded as small annotations rather than oversized KPI tiles.
- Status appears as low-chroma chips, left-edge ticks, table row flags, and short semantic labels paired with icons or text so color is never the only cue.
- Primary actions are indigo but mostly outline, text, or restrained filled controls; persimmon appears only for destructive/error warmth at small scale.
- Navigation and operations feel like an expert editor workspace: command palette, keyboard hints, side rail, source drawer, and narrow context panes around a document center.

]
}
## 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-sumi-indigo-operational-minimalism/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 crisp neutral backgrounds, sumi/graphite typography, pale ai-nezumi panels, and indigo semantic accents.; Embed metrics inline beside documents, tables, source trails, and workflow rows.; Design status chips with labels, muted state colors, and small left-edge ticks or dots.; Prioritize keyboard-first interactions: command palette, skip links, row shortcuts, visible focus, and deterministic drawer behavior.; Keep surfaces quiet: hairline rules, subtle tints, minimal shadows, and compact typography.; Use persimmon only for rare error, unresolved, destructive, or attention states.
- Do not: Do not create a dashboard-first home screen or oversized KPI-card grid.; Do not use neon, generic SaaS gradients, playful mascots, or decorative Japanese motifs/icons.; Do not rely on color alone for state or status.; Do not add decorative illustrations that compete with operational text.; Do not over-round components or use heavy shadows that make the workspace feel like consumer SaaS.
## Copy-paste component example

## Layout notes
{
"grid": "Desktop uses a document-centered 12-column workspace with a 240-280px navigation/context rail, a 640-760px primary text column, and a 280-360px inspector/analytics rail. Tables and comparison views may span full width but retain compact row rhythm.",
"density": "High information density with 14px rows, 32-40px toolbars, compact chips, and restrained panels; breathing room comes from grouped whitespace and calm surfaces rather than large cards.",
"responsive": "Preserve document-first order: command bar, context/source trail, document body, inline metrics, then inspector details. Do not reorder into dashboard cards.",
"whitespace": "Use 16-24px between functional groups and 32-48px around reading zones. Avoid empty landing-page expanses; every pause supports comprehension.",
"breakpoints": "mobile <= 640px, tablet 641-1024px, desktop >= 1025px; rails collapse into drawers and document analytics become inline sections on narrow screens."
