Design before code: an image model draws six different visual directions as mockups, the user picks one with their eyes, and it is built as a live page (desktop and phone) or a 16:9 presentation, measured for readability before it is shown. Use when: "сделай дизайн", "подготовь макет", "давай займёмся дизайном", "нарисуй страницу", "редизайн", "варианты дизайна", "дизайн презентации", "сделай презентацию", "оформи слайды", "make a design", "design this", "how should this look…

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 First

Explore the look before writing production code — for people who aren't designers but need a
distinctive result.

Three ideas; the first two measured in blind rounds with the owner (`references/mockups.md` → "Why"), the third paid for in earlier rounds (`ui-verify.md`):

1. **Always a real choice.** Six directions that differ in composition, not just colour, by default
   each shown on three screens — a direction that wins on the first screen can fall apart on a list or
   a form (the user may choose one screen to save time, Step 1). The user recognises their picture
   with their eyes; nobody can describe it in words beforehand.
2. **The image model draws, the coding model builds.** HTML prototypes written by the coding model
   never earned a "wow"; mockups drawn by an image model did, and a live page built over the mockup
   was judged the same as the mockup — on the phone too, when the phone has its own mockup.
3. **Measure before showing.** Unreadable text, sideways scroll, content stuck invisible are invisible
   in code and obvious to the user. `scripts/check.mjs` runs before anything is shown.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add gurudevvv/my-claude-skills/design-first@sha256:2ab4eb84ecc8bbaa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.8ca4db8, 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.
