Identity

Work passes hand to hand. Only gated decisions reach you.

Mosaic Stack lets you declare a business, its projects and its roles. Agents in those roles carry the work end to end under the policy you declared. The brand stays quiet so the work is what you see: a precise blue for action, a warm accent for things that need you, and plain words.

The mark is Relay, the one you preferred. Two hooks pass a piece of work between them, the way messages pass between roles rather than between people (REQ-MSG-1). This draft redraws it on a 16-unit pixel grid so the slits between the hooks still show at favicon size.

Small sizes

The original draws its gaps from overlapping shapes about 2.8/56 units wide, which comes to 0.8 px at 16 px, so they blur away. The refined path keeps the silhouette and widens the slits to about 1.4 px at 16 px.

Refined

Source: docs/design/brand/relay-refined.svg. One even-odd path, no strokes, no gradient. It is drawn in the palette's action color, or in the text color when it sits on action.

Mosaic Stack

mosaic

Manrope 800 for the name with tight tracking (−0.025em at display size). "Stack" steps down to 500 in the muted color. In product chrome the short form mosaic matches the command people type. Leave clear space around the mark equal to its slit-to-edge distance, about one eighth of its width.

NotApprove? (Recommended!)

Name the thing, the state and the next step. Keep the system's own words: refusal codes, event kinds and task refs appear exactly as the bus records them, in mono.

Palettes

Dewey's ten palettes, each with Light, Dim and Dark. Choose one to apply it to this whole page. Harbor is the proposed default; the default palette and mode are still your call.

mono 12.5vikunja:32/48 · 7f3a91c2 · git.push.protected

Manrope (approved) for interface text. JetBrains Mono for anything a person might type or paste: ids, refs, actions, refusal codes and commands. Both come from Google Fonts with system fallbacks. Numbers in columns use tabular figures.

Icons

Drawn on a 24-unit grid with a 1.75 stroke and round joins, no fills. Each one names a section. Icons never carry state alone; state always has a word or glyph next to it.

Status vocabulary

Agent state (control board): ●working; ◐waiting · shows Input needed: text; ▲error; ○offline · –idle · ?unknown

Decision class and routing: routine within-role logged; cross-role goes to the arbiter (delivery → pm, technical → cto); gated goes to you; BLOCKING CLI inbox + Discord DM now; otherwise the 08:00 CT digest

Task markers: changed in Vikunja; not created by the stack; conflict; missing: moved not-found no-access

Feature status in this design: implemented in the repository now; in progress on an open queue row; planned in the PRD or a brief; proposed new in this design; needs a ruling

Terminal: `mosaic`

mosaic is the front door and the only place a decision gets resolved (REQ-CLI-1, REQ-DEC-3). Today it is a set of verbs (inbox, decide, tasks, agents, trail, bus) plus the conversation terminal. This design joins them into one full-screen app, with mosaic and no arguments opening on Talk. The verbs stay as they are, for scripts.

Click the screen and use the keys, or pick a screen from the list. Screens are drawn at 120×36 columns, with an 80×24 fallback. Every state is shown as text as well as color, so NO_COLOR loses nothing.

Screens

Keys (nav mode)

c i t a r: Talk, Inbox, Tasks, Agents, Trail
Tab: Move between nav and the composer
↑↓ jk: Move the selection
1–9: In Inbox: choose that option, then confirm
v: Trail of the selected item
:: Command line (:decide, :trail, :q)
?: Help
q: Quit to the shell

The composer keeps the conversation terminal's keys: Enter send, Ctrl J newline, Ctrl T take control, Ctrl G interrupt, Ctrl O reconnect, PgUp/PgDn scroll.

ANSI roles

Feature coverage

Every feature found in the PRD, the slice 1 briefs and the packages, where it lives in each surface, and how far along it is. "Web" and "TUI" name the screen in this design. The status describes the capability in the code today (CLI, bus or packages), not these screens: implemented exists in the code now, in progress has an open queue row, planned is in the PRD or a brief with no code yet, proposed is new in this design.

Open decisions for you

Default palette and mode

Proposed: Harbor, following the system setting. Dim stays available for long sessions.

Final mark

Proposed: refined Relay. The original stays usable from 48 px up if you prefer its proportions.

Resolving from the web

The PRD rules it out (REQ-DEC-3), so the web gives a Copy button. Proposed: keep it that way through v1.

One `mosaic` app

Proposed: mosaic with no arguments opens the full-screen app, and the verbs stay for scripts.
