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

# Notes for coding agents

Read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) before changing anything. It has the gate suite and the rules for each kind of change. This file covers the parts of adding a diagram that agents keep missing.

## Adding a diagram type or variant

Follow "Adding a new diagram type" in CONTRIBUTING.md. The suite fails until these are done:

- **Gallery.** Register every example in `skills/diagram-design/assets/index.html`. A new type gets the next number. Any other example of an existing type is a lettered variant: it goes directly after its parent with `data-parent-type` and a lettered eyebrow (`28c`). GitHub Pages publishes `skills/diagram-design/assets/` when the PR merges, so the live gallery needs no separate step.
- **Type count (new type).** Raise `VISUAL_TYPE_COUNT` in `scripts/verify-docs-sync.py` and `scripts/verify-semantic-motion.py`, and the hardcoded count in `scripts/verify-screenshot-freshness.py` and `scripts/render-canonical-screenshots.py`. Then fix every count the suite reports: the README, SKILL.md, CONTRIBUTING, `onboarding.md` and `semantic-patterns.md`, plus a new amendment in ADR 0002.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cathrynlavery/diagram-design/AGENTS.md@sha256:6a8dad5310373552

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.1c8a664, 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.
