Hylo's own dark-first UI system: a near-black canvas (#08080b), soft-white ink, and a single lavender-blue accent (#5e6ad2) used scarcely — primary actions, focus rings, selected-state text, link emphasis. Depth comes from a surface ladder (bg → surface-soft → surface-2) and hairline borders, not shadows, except for a small set of floating layers (dialogs, popovers, the search overlay) that opt into a restrained lift-off shadow. Inter carries every weight of text, chrome-density type scale…
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
## Overview
Hylo's UI runs on a near-black canvas (`{colors.bg-dark}` #08080b — lifted just off true black to avoid a flat, harsh void) with soft-white ink (`{colors.fg-dark}` #eef0f4) and a single chromatic accent, lavender-blue (`{colors.accent}` #5e6ad2). The accent is scarce by design: primary actions, focus rings, list/tab selected-state text, and link emphasis — never a section background or card fill.
Depth is carried almost entirely by a **surface ladder** (`--bg` → `--surface-soft` → `--surface-2`) plus 1px hairline borders, not box-shadow. The one deliberate exception is a small set of floating layers — confirm/info dialogs, the settings modal, the search overlay, drawer popovers — which opt into a restrained lift-off shadow (`--shadow-{xs,sm,md,lg}` paired with `--shadow-color`) so a card reads as "off the surface" rather than a flat bordered rectangle. Everything else stays flat.

How to install
mdr add skoowoo/hylo/DESIGN.md@sha256:c2331f4ee98f6f62The line at the top of this page pins the label v1, 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.
