How to write — and how to use — a skill that IS one aesthetic rather than a catalogue of them. A catalogue lets an agent pick, and it picks the modal option; a committed aesthetic makes it execute one thing precisely, against rules you can check. Use when a design keeps coming out competent and forgettable, when starting a new brand surface with no reference, or when authoring a house style you want executed the same way twice.
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
# A committed aesthetic beats a catalogue ## The problem this exists for `ui-ux-pro-max` ships 84 styles, 161 palettes and 57 font pairings, and `design-advisor` is wired to all of it. The catalogue is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck is that **a catalogue lets a model pick, and an unconstrained pick is the modal one.** Asked for a landing page with no brand, any model reaches for the same safe centre: a soft gradient, a large sans heading, three rounded cards with a left accent border, generous neutral grey. Every input in the training distribution votes for it. Nothing in a catalogue entry saying *"Swiss minimalism — clean, grid-based, generous whitespace"* is specific enough to override that, because that sentence describes the safe centre too. Compare a rule from a committed aesthetic: > every dimension is `calc(fraction * 100vw)` against a baseline width, so one > page at 1024px reads as a perfect scaled-down of the same page at 1920px You can **check** that. A design either obeys it or does not. That is the whole difference: a catalogue entry is a *label*, a committed aesthetic is a *constraint*. ## The form …

How to install
mdr add avelikiy/great_cto/committed-aesthetic@sha256:d89dae2f252d9f82The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.c285651, 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.
