Three directions side by side for any design ask, with the Art Director's notes on each and no polish. Use when you want to see the options before committing, or to pick a direction yourself.
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
Run the roughs step on its own as the Design Manager. **Deliverable and standard.** Three roughs of whatever the ask is, each in a different composition pattern from the deliverable's standard, laid out side by side with notes. The standard is the one that matches the ask (card, carousel, landing page, email, deck, chart, dashboard, clip, icon set, print piece). No polish, no proof gate, no sign-off: these are directions, not finished files. **Desks.** | Desk | Agent | Tier | Does | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | the deliverable's builder desk | per the standard: `desk:ui-designer`, `desk:social-media-designer`, `desk:email-designer`, `desk:data-viz-designer`, `desk:motion-designer`, `desk:presentation-designer`, `desk:landing-page-designer`, `desk:dashboard-architect`, `desk:icon-designer`, `desk:print-designer` | senior (roughs run at the senior model) | one rough each, in parallel | | Art Director | `desk:art-director` | director | notes per rough: what works, what fails, what it would take, and a recommendation without applying it | **Inputs.** Text, a file to draw from, a URL, a screenshot, the same as `design`. …

How to install
mdr add adityareddy-dev/deskstudio/variants@sha256:f96c9a4ee0a2d1f5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.cbc9b24, 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.
