rules
composition
Compose as a central editorial sheet with a narrow navigation gutter and a persistent right thread rail; metadata must orbit anchored prose instead of becoming a grid of competing cards.
density
High textual density is acceptable when organized by line-height, margins, and anchor alignment; summaries compress into narrow strips, chips, and footnote blocks.
hierarchy
Hierarchy comes from serif size, baseline rhythm, indentation, hairline separators, and sparse indigo emphasis; labels use compact grotesk/mono scale and never overwhelm body text.
signature patterns
Baseline manuscript ruling is built with repeating-linear-gradient backgrounds clipped to the writing column and aligned to body line-height.Thread anchors use CSS grid rows and pseudo-element vertical indigo strands that connect inline marks to right-rail annotations.Katagami cutouts are expressed through small radial-gradient masks and notched separators placed in gutters and excerpt corners.Calm summaries use tiny inline SVG sparklines in section headers with sage strokes and tabular mono numerals only where data appears.Focus states are soft offset indigo rings and left-thread brightening, while vermilion is reserved for explicit unresolved editorial marks.
layout
breakpoints

Rail collapses below 900px into inline footnotes; mobile uses one column with anchor chips above collapsed thread summaries.

grid

Desktop uses a three-zone grid: 72px manuscript gutter, minmax(560px, 760px) prose column, and 300px right rail with aligned anchors.

whitespace

Whitespace behaves like book margins: generous outer air, tight note leading, baseline-aligned vertical spacing, and no full-bleed colored slabs.

guidance
do
  • Keep body copy, excerpts, and annotations aligned to a visible baseline rhythm.
  • Use indigo for active thread links, cursor focus, and connected annotations only.
  • Use paper grain, hairline dividers, and sparse stencil cutouts to create identity with restraint.
  • Make summaries small, textual, and embedded near section headers rather than dashboard-like.
avoid
  • Do not create KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or large indigo panels.
  • Do not surround every note with a heavy card border or shadow.
  • Do not use vermilion except for user-authored marks, unresolved decisions, or rare warnings.
  • Do not replace prose hierarchy with emoji-like status colors or marketing gradients.

# Threaded Washi Editorial Workspace

## Philosophy

A quiet Japanese-inspired editorial workspace where dense prose remains primary and contextual relationships surface as thin indigo threads, anchored marginalia, manuscript rhythm, and restrained washi-like surfaces rather than dashboard chrome.

### Values

- prose-first attention
- anchored context over floating cards
- warm paper materiality
- precise scholarly annotation
- data-ink restraint

### Anti-Values

- KPI tile walls and saturated dashboard status color
- large colored panels or marketing gradients
- heavy shadows, dense boxes, and generic card grids

### Visual Character

- A single max-width manuscript column uses a repeating-linear-gradient baseline grid and generous serif line-height so paragraphs, excerpts, and notes sit on visible manuscript rhythm.
- A persistent right side rail aligns thread summaries to text anchors with hairline rules and indigo vertical strands instead of boxed cards or large colored panels.
- Surfaces use warm paper whites, subtle radial grain overlays, one-pixel ash dividers, and nearly flat shadows to create washi tactility without decorative noise.
- Inline annotations are small linked chips and bracket marks with indigo focus rings, while vermilion appears only on unresolved user-authored review marks.
- Katagami stencil sensibility appears as repeated negative cutout notches, dashed mask-like separators, and narrow patterned gutters rather than illustrations.

## Rules

### Composition

Compose as a central editorial sheet with a narrow navigation gutter and a persistent right thread rail; metadata must orbit anchored prose instead of becoming a grid of competing cards.

### Density

High textual density is acceptable when organized by line-height, margins, and anchor alignment; summaries compress into narrow strips, chips, and footnote blocks.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy comes from serif size, baseline rhythm, indentation, hairline separators, and sparse indigo emphasis; labels use compact grotesk/mono scale and never overwhelm body text.

### Signature Patterns

- Baseline manuscript ruling is built with repeating-linear-gradient backgrounds clipped to the writing column and aligned to body line-height.
- Thread anchors use CSS grid rows and pseudo-element vertical indigo strands that connect inline marks to right-rail annotations.
- Katagami cutouts are expressed through small radial-gradient masks and notched separators placed in gutters and excerpt corners.
- Calm summaries use tiny inline SVG sparklines in section headers with sage strokes and tabular mono numerals only where data appears.
- Focus states are soft offset indigo rings and left-thread brightening, while vermilion is reserved for explicit unresolved editorial marks.

## Layout

### Breakpoints

Rail collapses below 900px into inline footnotes; mobile uses one column with anchor chips above collapsed thread summaries.

### Grid

Desktop uses a three-zone grid: 72px manuscript gutter, minmax(560px, 760px) prose column, and 300px right rail with aligned anchors.

### Whitespace

Whitespace behaves like book margins: generous outer air, tight note leading, baseline-aligned vertical spacing, and no full-bleed colored slabs.

## Guidance

### Do

- Keep body copy, excerpts, and annotations aligned to a visible baseline rhythm.
- Use indigo for active thread links, cursor focus, and connected annotations only.
- Use paper grain, hairline dividers, and sparse stencil cutouts to create identity with restraint.
- Make summaries small, textual, and embedded near section headers rather than dashboard-like.

- Do not create KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or large indigo panels.
- Do not surround every note with a heavy card border or shadow.
- Do not use vermilion except for user-authored marks, unresolved decisions, or rare warnings.
- Do not replace prose hierarchy with emoji-like status colors or marketing gradients.

# Threaded Washi Editorial Workspace

## Overview

A quiet Japanese-inspired editorial workspace where dense prose remains primary and contextual relationships surface as thin indigo threads, anchored marginalia, manuscript rhythm, and restrained washi-like surfaces rather than dashboard chrome.

### Values

- prose-first attention
- anchored context over floating cards
- warm paper materiality
- precise scholarly annotation
- data-ink restraint

### Anti-Values

- KPI tile walls and saturated dashboard status color
- large colored panels or marketing gradients
- heavy shadows, dense boxes, and generic card grids

### Visual Character

- A single max-width manuscript column uses a repeating-linear-gradient baseline grid and generous serif line-height so paragraphs, excerpts, and notes sit on visible manuscript rhythm.
- A persistent right side rail aligns thread summaries to text anchors with hairline rules and indigo vertical strands instead of boxed cards or large colored panels.
- Surfaces use warm paper whites, subtle radial grain overlays, one-pixel ash dividers, and nearly flat shadows to create washi tactility without decorative noise.
- Inline annotations are small linked chips and bracket marks with indigo focus rings, while vermilion appears only on unresolved user-authored review marks.
- Katagami stencil sensibility appears as repeated negative cutout notches, dashed mask-like separators, and narrow patterned gutters rather than illustrations.

## Components

### Composition

Compose as a central editorial sheet with a narrow navigation gutter and a persistent right thread rail; metadata must orbit anchored prose instead of becoming a grid of competing cards.

### Density

High textual density is acceptable when organized by line-height, margins, and anchor alignment; summaries compress into narrow strips, chips, and footnote blocks.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy comes from serif size, baseline rhythm, indentation, hairline separators, and sparse indigo emphasis; labels use compact grotesk/mono scale and never overwhelm body text.

### Signature Patterns

- Baseline manuscript ruling is built with repeating-linear-gradient backgrounds clipped to the writing column and aligned to body line-height.
- Thread anchors use CSS grid rows and pseudo-element vertical indigo strands that connect inline marks to right-rail annotations.
- Katagami cutouts are expressed through small radial-gradient masks and notched separators placed in gutters and excerpt corners.
- Calm summaries use tiny inline SVG sparklines in section headers with sage strokes and tabular mono numerals only where data appears.
- Focus states are soft offset indigo rings and left-thread brightening, while vermilion is reserved for explicit unresolved editorial marks.

## 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-019ee037-1ca9-71d3-9a06-0e7f8294ad52/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 Keep body copy, excerpts, and annotations aligned to a visible baseline rhythm.
- Do Use indigo for active thread links, cursor focus, and connected annotations only.
- Do Use paper grain, hairline dividers, and sparse stencil cutouts to create identity with restraint.
- Do Make summaries small, textual, and embedded near section headers rather than dashboard-like.
- Don't Do not create KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or large indigo panels.
- Don't Do not surround every note with a heavy card border or shadow.
- Don't Do not use vermilion except for user-authored marks, unresolved decisions, or rare warnings.
- Don't Do not replace prose hierarchy with emoji-like status colors or marketing gradients.

# Threaded Washi Editorial Workspace shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ee037-1ca9-71d3-9a06-0e7f8294ad52`
Slug: `threaded-washi-editorial-workspace`

## Intent

A quiet Japanese-inspired editorial workspace where dense prose remains primary and contextual relationships surface as thin indigo threads, anchored marginalia, manuscript rhythm, and restrained washi-like surfaces rather than dashboard chrome.

## 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": "#315C8C",
  "background": "#FBFAF6",
  "border": "#DCD6C9",
  "error": "#C74B3C",
  "info": "#315C8C",
  "muted": "#6F6A61",
  "primary": "#315C8C",
  "secondary": "#6F8A79",
  "success": "#6F8A79",
  "surface": "#F4F1EA",
  "text": "#22201C",
  "warning": "#B88746"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Noto Serif JP",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&family=Noto+Serif+JP:wght@400;500;600&family=Shippori+Mincho:wght@500;600;700&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Shippori Mincho",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
  "line_height": 1.72,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- A single max-width manuscript column uses a repeating-linear-gradient baseline grid and generous serif line-height so paragraphs, excerpts, and notes sit on visible manuscript rhythm.
- A persistent right side rail aligns thread summaries to text anchors with hairline rules and indigo vertical strands instead of boxed cards or large colored panels.
- Surfaces use warm paper whites, subtle radial grain overlays, one-pixel ash dividers, and nearly flat shadows to create washi tactility without decorative noise.
- Inline annotations are small linked chips and bracket marks with indigo focus rings, while vermilion appears only on unresolved user-authored review marks.
- Katagami stencil sensibility appears as repeated negative cutout notches, dashed mask-like separators, and narrow patterned gutters rather than illustrations.

## ShadSync visual profile

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

  "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/threaded-washi-editorial-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: Keep body copy, excerpts, and annotations aligned to a visible baseline rhythm.; Use indigo for active thread links, cursor focus, and connected annotations only.; Use paper grain, hairline dividers, and sparse stencil cutouts to create identity with restraint.; Make summaries small, textual, and embedded near section headers rather than dashboard-like.
- Do not: Do not create KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or large indigo panels.; Do not surround every note with a heavy card border or shadow.; Do not use vermilion except for user-authored marks, unresolved decisions, or rare warnings.; Do not replace prose hierarchy with emoji-like status colors or marketing gradients.

## 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": "Rail collapses below 900px into inline footnotes; mobile uses one column with anchor chips above collapsed thread summaries.",
  "grid": "Desktop uses a three-zone grid: 72px manuscript gutter, minmax(560px, 760px) prose column, and 300px right rail with aligned anchors.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace behaves like book margins: generous outer air, tight note leading, baseline-aligned vertical spacing, and no full-bleed colored slabs."
