Design-first discipline and UI measurement for AI agents. Use when building or redesigning a page or component, when the user shares a reference image or says the UI looks generic / like a template / flat / AI-made, and when auditing or measuring UI: images blurry or reported as upscaled, wrong skeleton or loading flash, slow TBT, contrast reading ~1.00, dark mode not applying, dead space at wide viewports. Sequence: size the task, product discovery, draw the screen before code…
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
# nextcore-design — draw first, code second > Building a layout from zero in code and patching it turn by turn (colour, spacing, breakpoints…) is the > slowest way to reach a good UI. Draw it first, agree on the drawing, then copy the drawing into code. > > **Sequence:** size → discover (problem, job, success criteria, flow) → define (spec) → architect (information > hierarchy) → design (drawing) → critique (separate agent) → implement 1:1 → audit (scripts) → visual review → > **validate** (can the user finish the job? how will the business goal be measured?) → iterate only on measured gaps. > Build the right screen before building the screen right. You are a designer who can code, not a coder who decorates. ## §1 When drawing first is mandatory | Draw first | No drawing needed | |---|---| | A NEW page or component | Changing one string or one token | | Re-laying out an existing page | Fixing a measured bug (overflow, tap target) | | The user shares a reference image / link | Changing content inside an existing layout | | The user says "looks like a template / bland / flat" | Adding one row to an existing table | …

How to install
mdr add kennetvn/nextcore-skills/nextcore-design@sha256:97b3dc5c359103f7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.af21513, 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.
