+## Quick Start
+
+### Component + Styling Setup
+
+**Install shadcn/ui with Tailwind:**
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest init
+```
+
+CLI prompts for framework, TypeScript, paths, and theme preferences. This configures both shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS.
+
+**Add components:**
+```bash
+npx shadcn@latest add button card dialog form
+```
+
+**Use components with utility styling:**
+```tsx
+import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
+import { Card, CardHeader, CardTitle, CardContent } from "@/components/ui/card"
+
+export function Dashboard() {
+  return (
+    <div className="container mx-auto p-6 grid gap-6 md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3">
+      <Card className="hover:shadow-lg transition-shadow">
+        <CardHeader>
+          <CardTitle className="text-2xl font-bold">Analytics</CardTitle>
+        </CardHeader>
+        <CardContent className="space-y-4">
+          <p className="text-muted-foreground">View your metrics</p>
+          <Button variant="default" className="w-full">
+            View Details
+          </Button>
+        </CardContent>
+      </Card>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Alternative: Tailwind-Only Setup
+
+**Vite projects:**
+```bash
+npm install -D tailwindcss @tailwindcss/vite
+```
+
+```javascript
+// vite.config.ts
+import tailwindcss from '@tailwindcss/vite'
+export default { plugins: [tailwindcss()] }
+```
+
+```css
+/* src/index.css */
+@import "tailwindcss";
+```

+# Canvas Design System
+
+Visual design philosophy, systematic composition, and sophisticated visual communication.
+
+## Design Philosophy Approach
+
+Canvas design operates through two-phase process:
+
+### Phase 1: Design Philosophy Creation
+
+Create visual philosophy - aesthetic movement expressed through form, space, color, composition. Not layouts or templates, but pure visual philosophy.
+
+**What is created:** Design manifesto emphasizing:
+- Visual expression over text
+- Spatial communication
+- Artistic interpretation
+- Minimal words as visual accent
+
+**Philosophy structure (4-6 paragraphs):**
+- Space and form principles
+- Color and material approach
+- Scale and rhythm guidance
+- Composition and balance rules
+- Visual hierarchy system
+
+### Phase 2: Visual Expression
+
+Express philosophy through canvas artifacts:
+- 90% visual design
+- 10% essential text
+- Museum-quality execution
+- Systematic patterns
+- Sophisticated composition
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### 1. Visual Communication First
+
+Information lives in design, not paragraphs. Express ideas through:
+- Color zones and fields
+- Geometric precision
+- Spatial relationships
+- Visual weight and tension
+- Form and structure
+
+### 2. Minimal Text Integration
+
+Text as rare, powerful gesture:
+- Never paragraphs
+- Only essential words
+- Integrated into visual architecture
+- Small labels, huge impact
+- Typography as visual element
+
+### 3. Expert Craftsmanship
+
+Work must appear:
+- Meticulously crafted
+- Labored over with care
+- Product of countless hours
+- From absolute top of field
+- Master-level execution
+
+### 4. Systematic Patterns
+
+Use scientific visual language:
+- Repeating patterns
+- Perfect shapes
+- Dense accumulation of marks
+- Layered elements
+- Patient repetition rewards sustained viewing
+
+## Design Movement Examples
+
+### Concrete Poetry
+**Philosophy:** Communication through monumental form and bold geometry.
+
+**Expression:**
+- Massive color blocks
+- Sculptural typography (huge words, tiny labels)
+- Brutalist spatial divisions
+- Polish poster energy meets Le Corbusier
+- Ideas through visual weight and spatial tension
+- Text as rare, powerful gesture
+
+### Chromatic Language
+**Philosophy:** Color as primary information system.
+
+**Expression:**
+- Geometric precision
+- Color zones create meaning
+- Typography minimal - small sans-serif labels
+- Josef Albers' interaction meets data visualization
+- Information encoded spatially and chromatically
+- Words only anchor what color shows
+
+### Analog Meditation
+**Philosophy:** Quiet visual contemplation through texture and breathing room.
+
+**Expression:**
+- Paper grain, ink bleeds
+- Vast negative space
+- Photography and illustration dominate
+- Typography whispered (small, restrained)
+- Japanese photobook aesthetic
+- Images breathe across pages
+- Text appears sparingly - short phrases only
+
+### Organic Systems
+**Philosophy:** Natural clustering and modular growth patterns.
+
+**Expression:**
+- Rounded forms
+- Organic arrangements
+- Color from nature through architecture
+- Information through visual diagrams
+- Spatial relationships and iconography
+- Text only for key labels floating in space
+- Composition tells story through spatial orchestration
+
+### Geometric Silence
+**Philosophy:** Pure order and restraint.
+
+**Expression:**
+- Grid-based precision
+- Bold photography or stark graphics
+- Dramatic negative space
+- Typography precise but minimal
+- Small essential text, large quiet zones
+- Swiss formalism meets Brutalist material honesty
+- Structure communicates, not words
+- Every alignment from countless refinements
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Subtle Reference Integration
+
+Embed conceptual DNA without announcing:
+- Niche reference woven invisibly
+- Those who know feel it intuitively
+- Others experience masterful abstract composition
+- Like jazz musician quoting another song
+- Sophisticated, never literal
+- Reference enhances depth quietly
+
+### Color Approach
+
+**Intentional palette:**
+- Limited colors (2-5)
+- Cohesive system
+- Purposeful relationships
+- oklch color space for precision
+- Each shade carries meaning
+
+**Example palette:**
+```
+--color-primary: oklch(0.55 0.22 264)
+--color-accent: oklch(0.75 0.18 45)
+--color-neutral: oklch(0.90 0.02 264)
+--color-dark: oklch(0.25 0.15 264)
+```
+
+### Typography System
+
+**Thin fonts preferred:**
+- Light weights (200-300)
+- Clean sans-serifs
+- Geometric precision
+- Small sizes for labels
+- Large sizes for impact moments
+
+**Font integration:**
+- Search `./canvas-fonts` directory
+- Download needed fonts
+- Bring typography onto canvas
+- Part of art, not typeset digitally
+
+### Composition Rules
+
+**Systematic approach:**
+- Repeating patterns establish rhythm
+- Perfect geometric shapes
+- Clinical typography
+- Reference markers suggest imaginary discipline
+- Dense accumulation builds meaning
+- Layered patterns reward attention
+
+**Spacing discipline:**
+- Nothing falls off page
+- Nothing overlaps
+- Every element within canvas boundaries
+- Proper margins non-negotiable
+- Breathing room and clear separation
+- Professional execution mandatory
+
+### Canvas Boundaries
+
+**Technical specs:**
+- Single page default (multi-page when requested)
+- PDF or PNG output
+- High resolution
+- Clean margins
+- Contained composition
+- Flawless formatting
+
+## Multi-Page Design Systems
+
+When creating multiple pages:
+
+### Approach
+- Treat first page as single page in coffee table book
+- Create more pages along same philosophy
+- Distinctly different but cohesive
+- Pages tell story tastefully
+- Full creative freedom
+
+### Consistency Elements
+- Shared color palette
+- Consistent typography system
+- Related compositional approach
+- Visual language continuity
+- Philosophical thread throughout
+
+### Variation Strategy
+- Unique twist per page
+- Different focal points
+- Varied spatial arrangements
+- Complementary patterns
+- Progressive visual narrative
+
