Below 980px the rail becomes an inline notes band after each section; below 560px gutters collapse and annotations stack as footnote blocks.

whitespace

Whitespace follows ma: generous outer margins, 28px baseline rhythm, and quiet gaps around excerpts so dense prose can breathe.

guidance
do
  • Use indigo only for active threads, current cursor focus, linked annotation dots, and selected tabs.
  • Keep panels paper-toned and let typography, rules, and alignment carry hierarchy.
  • Align notes, excerpts, provenance chips, and summary strips to a visible baseline grid.
  • Use tabular numerals only for compact summaries and source counts.
avoid
  • Do not build KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or card grids that compete with prose.
  • Do not color large panels indigo or vermilion; accents must stay narrow and editorial.
  • Do not add heavy shadows, thick borders around every note, marketing gradients, or emoji status palettes.
  • Do not allow annotations to float without a visible anchor relationship to text.

# Threaded Washi Editorial Workspace

## Philosophy

A calm Japanese-inspired editorial workspace where dense prose remains primary and context relationships appear as fine woven annotations, ruled margins, and tiny data marks rather than dashboard chrome.

### Values

- Text-first attention with metadata kept subordinate
- Washi-like warmth, restraint, and tactile quietness
- Threaded context that aligns visibly to exact prose anchors
- Scholarly marginalia rhythm with product-grade clarity

### Anti-Values

- KPI tile walls or saturated analytic dashboards
- Card grids, heavy shadows, and decorative gradients that compete with reading
- Emoji-like status colors or large panels tinted with accents

### Visual Character

- Single max-width central article column flanked by a narrow right rail using CSS grid minmax columns and anchor-aligned note rows.
- Warm paper surface built from layered radial and linear CSS gradients at very low opacity to suggest washi grain without image assets.
- Hairline ash rules and one-pixel indigo connector strands use border-left, pseudo-elements, and inline anchor dots instead of filled cards.
- Genkō yōshi manuscript rhythm appears through subtle baseline repeating-linear-gradient guides and paragraph spacing locked to an 8px grid.
- Rare vermilion review marks are small handwritten-style brackets and unresolved chips while active focus uses indigo outlines and thread links.

## Tokens

### Borders

## Rules

### Composition

Compose screens as a manuscript page: one central measure for reading, a persistent right rail for anchored context, and a narrow left gutter for section rhythm and provenance.

### Density

High information density is acceptable when aligned to the baseline grid; notes must remain narrow, quiet, and tied to text anchors.

### Hierarchy

Hierarchy is typographic and positional: serif titles, spacious paragraphs, compact grotesk or mono labels, hairline dividers, and small indigo focus states instead of large colored surfaces.

### Signature Patterns

- Anchor-linked marginalia uses absolute or grid-aligned pseudo-element strands from inline quote anchors to right-rail notes.
- Washi grain is created with layered low-alpha gradients over warm paper tokens, never with saturated textures or shadows.
- Katagami stencil rhythm appears as repeated negative-space notch shapes in rail headers, chips, and section dividers via clip-path polygons.
- Tiny summary sparklines sit inside section headers as single-stroke SVG lines in sage or indigo with tabular numerals.
- Vermilion review marks are bracket-like inline accents and unresolved decision chips, limited to small editorial warnings.

## Layout

### Breakpoints

Below 980px the rail becomes an inline notes band after each section; below 560px gutters collapse and annotations stack as footnote blocks.

### Grid

### Whitespace

Whitespace follows ma: generous outer margins, 28px baseline rhythm, and quiet gaps around excerpts so dense prose can breathe.

## Guidance

### Do

- Use indigo only for active threads, current cursor focus, linked annotation dots, and selected tabs.
- Keep panels paper-toned and let typography, rules, and alignment carry hierarchy.
- Align notes, excerpts, provenance chips, and summary strips to a visible baseline grid.
- Use tabular numerals only for compact summaries and source counts.

# Threaded Washi Editorial Workspace

## Overview

A calm Japanese-inspired editorial workspace where dense prose remains primary and context relationships appear as fine woven annotations, ruled margins, and tiny data marks rather than dashboard chrome.

### Values

- Text-first attention with metadata kept subordinate
- Washi-like warmth, restraint, and tactile quietness
- Threaded context that aligns visibly to exact prose anchors
- Scholarly marginalia rhythm with product-grade clarity

### Anti-Values

- KPI tile walls or saturated analytic dashboards
- Card grids, heavy shadows, and decorative gradients that compete with reading
- Emoji-like status colors or large panels tinted with accents

### Visual Character

- Single max-width central article column flanked by a narrow right rail using CSS grid minmax columns and anchor-aligned note rows.
- Warm paper surface built from layered radial and linear CSS gradients at very low opacity to suggest washi grain without image assets.

### Signature Patterns

- Anchor-linked marginalia uses absolute or grid-aligned pseudo-element strands from inline quote anchors to right-rail notes.
- Washi grain is created with layered low-alpha gradients over warm paper tokens, never with saturated textures or shadows.
- Katagami stencil rhythm appears as repeated negative-space notch shapes in rail headers, chips, and section dividers via clip-path polygons.

- Vermilion review marks are bracket-like inline accents and unresolved decision chips, limited to small editorial warnings.

## 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-019ee037-3ea4-72c3-8ec6-560de128e9a3/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 indigo only for active threads, current cursor focus, linked annotation dots, and selected tabs.
- Do Keep panels paper-toned and let typography, rules, and alignment carry hierarchy.
- Do Align notes, excerpts, provenance chips, and summary strips to a visible baseline grid.
- Do Use tabular numerals only for compact summaries and source counts.
- Don't Do not build KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or card grids that compete with prose.
- Don't Do not color large panels indigo or vermilion; accents must stay narrow and editorial.
- Don't Do not add heavy shadows, thick borders around every note, marketing gradients, or emoji status palettes.
- Don't Do not allow annotations to float without a visible anchor relationship to text.

# Threaded Washi Editorial Workspace shadcn/ui Components

Artifact: `component-recipes-v1`
Author: `katagami-ui-projection`
Language ID: `en-019ee037-3ea4-72c3-8ec6-560de128e9a3`
Slug: `threaded-washi-editorial-workspace`

## Intent

A calm Japanese-inspired editorial workspace where dense prose remains primary and context relationships appear as fine woven annotations, ruled margins, and tiny data marks 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": "#C74B3C",
  "background": "#FBFAF6",
  "border": "#DCD6C9",
  "error": "#C74B3C",
  "info": "#315C8C",
  "muted": "#6F6A61",
  "primary": "#315C8C",
  "secondary": "#6F8A79",
  "success": "#6F8A79",
  "surface": "#F4F1EA",
  "text": "#22201C",
  "warning": "#B98242"
}

Typography:

{
  "base_size": "16px",
  "body_font": "Source Serif 4",
  "google_fonts_url": "https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Noto+Serif+JP:wght@400;500;600;700&family=Source+Serif+4:opsz,wght@8..60,400;8..60,500;8..60,600&family=IBM+Plex+Mono:wght@400;500&display=swap",
  "heading_font": "Noto Serif JP",
  "letter_spacing": "-0.01em",
  "line_height": 1.72,
  "mono_font": "IBM Plex Mono",
  "scale_ratio": 1.22
}

## Visual character to preserve

- Single max-width central article column flanked by a narrow right rail using CSS grid minmax columns and anchor-aligned note rows.
- Warm paper surface built from layered radial and linear CSS gradients at very low opacity to suggest washi grain without image assets.
- Hairline ash rules and one-pixel indigo connector strands use border-left, pseudo-elements, and inline anchor dots instead of filled cards.
- Genkō yōshi manuscript rhythm appears through subtle baseline repeating-linear-gradient guides and paragraph spacing locked to an 8px grid.
- Rare vermilion review marks are small handwritten-style brackets and unresolved chips while active focus uses indigo outlines and thread links.

## ShadSync visual profile

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

  "motion": "still",
  "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/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: Use indigo only for active threads, current cursor focus, linked annotation dots, and selected tabs.; Keep panels paper-toned and let typography, rules, and alignment carry hierarchy.; Align notes, excerpts, provenance chips, and summary strips to a visible baseline grid.; Use tabular numerals only for compact summaries and source counts.
- Do not: Do not build KPI tile walls, saturated dashboards, or card grids that compete with prose.; Do not color large panels indigo or vermilion; accents must stay narrow and editorial.; Do not add heavy shadows, thick borders around every note, marketing gradients, or emoji status palettes.; Do not allow annotations to float without a visible anchor relationship to text.

## 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": "Below 980px the rail becomes an inline notes band after each section; below 560px gutters collapse and annotations stack as footnote blocks.",
  "grid": "Desktop uses a 72px left gutter, minmax(620px, 760px) article column, 320px right rail, and 40px outer breathing space.",
  "whitespace": "Whitespace follows ma: generous outer margins, 28px baseline rhythm, and quiet gaps around excerpts so dense prose can breathe."
