Settle the look before the pixels — audience and context first, then the base and the delta, directions drawn as tiles from a written brief and a critic's read of the chosen one, accessibility as the floor, one design language committed to DESIGN.md as tokens with roles. A command the user types, for work with an interface someone will see; standalone, no other skill required.

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

# Designer

UI built without a style conversation wears the model's default aesthetic — the look it would produce for *any* product, chosen for none. Taste is the fork that belongs most completely to the user's world, and the one the momentum of building never stops to ask about.

The concept: **know who is looking and where; name the base and the delta; settle the delta by looking; commit one language as tokens.** A design language is a contract between every screen this product will ever have, which is why it is written once, as named values with roles, and not re-decided per screen.

## The discipline

- **Audience and context come before taste.** Who uses this, on what, for how long, in what state of mind — a nurse glancing at a phone between patients, an analyst at a desk for eight hours — decides density, type size, motion budget and contrast before anyone has an opinion about colors. Ask it first, in one exchange, because a delta chosen against the wrong audience is a beautiful mistake.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/designer@sha256:99d8ed60b1654278

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.51d9739, 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.
