design-loop skillA
design-loop is agent-read markdown (skill) from jakeselby/agent-harness: Raise the visual quality of something that already renders: build, screenshot, independent scored critique, fix, against rubrics with hard accessibility, design-token, runtime and asset-licensing gates. Use when asked to make a UI, page, HTML doc, dashboard, game scene or 3D asset look dramatically better, more polished or more professional; to improve the visual design, look, styling or visual quality of a surface; to iterate toward a reference, mockup or screenshot; and proactively after build.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Design loop A closed loop that raises visual quality by measurement rather than taste. The agent that built the thing cannot grade it, so an **independent judge with a clean context** scores each round against a **locked target** until it clears the bar or stalls. Derived from [dream-loop](https://github.com/achimala/dream-loop) (MIT) — see `ATTRIBUTION.md`. **Two standing rules that apply even outside the loop.** Visual work is verified by a capture the agent reads before anything is shown to the user; a claim about how something looks without a capture behind it is unverified. And the look is designed in cheap loops — a mock, a sketch, a throwaway render — before it is engineered into the real pipeline. The loop mechanics are its contribution. The rubrics, hard gates, escalation and asset policy here are ours and differ deliberately; do not reintroduce its asset-sourcing chapter. ## When this is the wrong skill This skill **refines something that already renders**. It needs a running artifact to screenshot. It does not decide what screens exist, what the flows are, or how anything behaves. | If the ask is | Use | | --- | --- | …

How to install
mdr add jakeselby/agent-harness/design-loop@git:20260923.c9e2ec3mdr add jakeselby/agent-harness/design-loop@sha256:6939af09bdae831ePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
