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

# Cherry Studio Design System

This document defines Cherry Studio's product-wide visual direction and the rules for choosing shared design
semantics. It is intentionally not a component API reference, a copy of Tailwind classes, or a specification for
individual feature pages.

## Sources of truth

- [Design token system](./packages/ui/docs/design-token-system.md) owns token architecture, namespaces, mappings,
  and migration rules.
- [Variable catalog](./packages/ui/docs/variable-catalog.md) owns the current variable inventory and selection
  order.
- [`@cherrystudio/ui` components](./packages/ui/src/components) own exact variants, dimensions, interaction states,
  motion, and accessibility behavior.
- [Component stories](./packages/ui/stories/components) demonstrate supported component composition and usage.
- [UI semantic contract](./docs/references/components/ui-semantic-contract.md) owns stable DOM hooks used by Custom CSS,
  tests, inspectors, and automation.

If this document conflicts with an implementation detail, use the relevant source above and update this document
only when the product-wide design intent has changed.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cherryhq/cherry-studio/DESIGN.md@sha256:36d31d8a5b53964c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.300ab2e, 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.
