Check that the UI you actually rendered uses the design system, by reading computed styles in the running app against the project's design tokens. Catches hardcoded hex colors, off-palette backgrounds, invisible or unusable controls, and animations that never ran. Use after building or restyling a component, when a design review is wanted, when a UI looks slightly off but nobody can say why, or when a design system exists and nothing checks whether the code follows it.
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
# Does the rendered UI actually use the design system?
Reading the source tells you what the component _asks_ for. It cannot tell you what the browser resolved: a token overridden three layers up, a hardcoded `#3b82f6` that happens to look close, a dark-theme scope that never applied. That answer only exists in the running page.
**Reticle** reads computed styles in the live app and compares them against the project's tokens. Not installed? `RETICLE_INSTALL_SOURCE=npx_skill npx @reticlehq/server@latest init`, then the [`install-and-verify`](https://github.com/reticlehq/reticle/blob/main/skills/install-and-verify/SKILL.md) skill.
## The check
```
reticle_look({ action: "page", sessionId, mode: "interactive" })
reticle_look({ action: "element", sessionId, ref })
```
`inspect` returns a `theme` report per element:
| Field | What it tells you |
| --- | --- |
| `offTheme` | **the headline.** True when a set, opaque color matches no token in the palette: a violation worth fixing |
| `colorTokens` / `backgroundTokens` | every token whose resolved value is this color. Empty means off-palette |

How to install
mdr add reticlehq/reticle/design-system-compliance@sha256:6c6d5294e2a9c447The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.7.0, 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.
