Naming, navigation, a UI that mirrors the data model, confirms for irreversible changes. Use when structuring a large application or naming its entities.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Information Architecture In small products, users find their way by exploring. In large applications — multi-module SaaS, ERPs, analytics platforms, marketplaces — exploration breaks down. The structure itself must do the navigational work. Information architecture is the design of that structure: what exists, what it is called, and how it relates to everything else. Good IA is invisible. Users find what they need without thinking about the structure. Bad IA forces users to hold a map in their head. --- ## Naming is Design The names given to entities, sections, and actions are one of the most consequential design decisions in a large application. Bad names create cognitive friction on every visit. **Principles:** - **Use the user's vocabulary, not the engineer's.** If users call it a "job", do not call it a `task_assignment`. If they call it a "client", do not surface `contact_entity`. - **Be specific.** "Settings" is vague. "Account settings", "Workspace settings", "Notification preferences" tell the user exactly where they are. …

How to install
mdr add dembrandt/dembrandt-skills/information-architecture@sha256:8fbd750c4e21b9e8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.20de5f2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
