design-variations SKILL.md skillB

design-variations from event4u-app/agent-config is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/design-variations@git:20260906.63640b1

Pins git:20260906.63640b1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Produce 3+ distinct hi-fi design variations — basic to bold, one file with tweak controls — when the user asks for options, alternatives, "show me a few takes". Extends fe-design.

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

# Design Variations

Produce multiple substantively distinct design variations so the user can
reject what they don't want and combine what they do. One design is one bet;
three variations surface preferences the user didn't know they had.

## When to use

- The user asks for options, alternatives, "different takes", "show me a few"
  on hi-fi UI work (screen, component, flow, visual treatment).
- After a `wireframe` round settled the structure and the user wants styled
  directions on top of it.

**When NOT to use:** structure/flow exploration before any styling decision →
[`wireframe`](../wireframe/SKILL.md) (lo-fi, disposable). Selecting ONE
grounded direction without generating alternatives →
[`design-intelligence`](../design-intelligence/SKILL.md). Reviewing an
existing design → [`design-review`](../design-review/SKILL.md).

## Procedure

1. **Baseline.** Confirm what is varied (screen / component / flow / visual
   treatment), the existing design context (DESIGN.md, brand tokens, UI kit —
   run [`existing-ui-audit`](../existing-ui-audit/SKILL.md) when the output
   lands in a real codebase, per the `ui-audit-gate` rule), the count
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/design-variations@sha256:df95f85302fa7936

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260906.63640b1, 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.
