InkPaper 源自 kami 项目，在原作基础上重构演进而来。
素宣墨韵 · 以墨为魂，朱砂仅为印痕
Warm paper canvas, ink-toned functional hierarchy (five ink gradations), decorative cinnabar seal only, serif carries hierarchy, no hard shadows or flashy palettes. Not a UI framework; a constraint system for printed matter. Documents should read as composed pages, not dashboards.
Eight document types (One-Pager, Long Doc, Letter, Portfolio, Resume, Slides, Equity Report, Changelog) with dedicated EN/CN templates. Fourteen inline SVG diagram types included. InkPaper picks the right variant based on the language you write in.
| Element | Rule |
|---|---|
| Canvas | #F8F4EB paper, never pure white |
| Hierarchy | Five ink tones (--ink-deep/mid/light/border), no red in functional roles |
| Seal | #B33A3A decorative stamp only (22×22px max), never for interaction |
| Neutrals | All warm-toned (yellow-brown undertone), no cool blue-grays |
| Serif | Body 400, headings 500. Avoid synthetic bold |
| Line-height | Tight titles 1.1-1.3, dense body 1.4-1.45, reading body 1.5-1.55 |
| Shadows | Ring or whisper only, no hard drop shadows |
| Tags | Solid hex backgrounds only. rgba() triggers a WeasyPrint double-rectangle bug |

I like investing in US equities and ask Claude to write research reports all the time. Every output landed in the same default-doc look: gray, flat, a different layout each session. The structure was hard to scan, the formatting felt dated, and nothing about the page made me want to keep reading. So I started fixing the typography, the palette, the spacing, one rule at a time, until the report became a page I actually enjoyed.
Later I needed to present "The Agent You Don't Know: Principles, Architecture and Engineering Practice." I already had the document and didn't want to build slides from scratch, so I used Claude Design to lay it out in my own style, tweaked it round after round, and eventually got it to a place I was happy with. That process added inline SVG charts, a unified warm palette, and a tighter editorial rhythm. It kept growing until it covered every document I regularly ship, so I kept abstracting the process, and it became inkpaper: one quiet design system I can hand to any agent and trust the output.
