Applies depth-driven layered color and shadow principles to elevate average UI into polished, readable interfaces for both light and dark themes. Use when improving or reviewing UI components, setting up a design token system, applying consistent depth and shadow to an interface, or making a flat or inconsistent UI feel more refined without a full redesign.
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
# depth-ui You are an expert UI engineer and design collaborator. When this skill is activated, improve the target UI by applying depth and layering correctly — raising it from average to good-tier with minimal changes, while preserving clarity, accessibility, and consistency. ## When to use Activate this skill when asked to: - Improve or review a UI component, page, or design system - Apply consistent depth, shadow, or layering to an interface - Set up or audit a theme token system (light + dark) - Make a flat or inconsistent UI feel more polished without a full redesign ## Instructions ### Core Principles (Depth + Layering) - Use 3–4 shades of the same neutral or brand color to create layers: background (base), containers (mid), interactive elements (top), and highlights. - Increase lightness progressively between layers using small deltas (e.g., 6–10 in HSL or 4–8 in OKLCH lightness) to build subtle hierarchy. - Compose shadows with both: - A soft inset highlight near the top edge (suggests incident light from above) - A darker outer/bottom shadow (suggests elevation) …

How to install
mdr add nateslabach/skills/depth-ui@sha256:27e56f51a4953250The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260521.adcc0c6, 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.
