| description | Minimal, high-clarity admin UI design for this repo. Use when redesigning /admin pages (translation manager, dashboards, tables, forms), defining admin design tokens, or improving admin UX/keyboard workflows without changing core functionality. |
Admin Design
Goals
- Minimal, low-distraction UI for internal tools.
- High information density without clutter.
- Clear hierarchy and obvious primary actions.
- Fast scanning and keyboard-first workflows.
- Core 2.0 inspired admin shell (collapsible sidebar + header, soft cards).
- Header stays minimal: workspace label + Sign Out only (no avatar, no user details).
- Preserve existing functionality and data flows.
Workflow
- Audit the current page structure and required features before proposing layout changes.
- Pick a layout pattern from
references/layout-patterns.md. - Apply the admin tokens from
references/design-tokens.md(mirrors.admin-rootinclient/src/index.css). - Keep interaction behavior consistent with
references/interaction-guidelines.md. - Only introduce new components if they reduce clicks or improve clarity.
- Validate that every existing action still works (save, suggest, publish, notes, voice, Manglish).
