Build distinct component alternatives and help the user choose. Use when explicitly invoked for design comparison.
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
# Variants This skill takes one described piece of UI and builds three versions that differ on purpose. They go behind a picker in the real page, so you can flip between them and choose. It produces candidates and never ranks them. Use the relevant `better-*` domain guides for a review; this workflow builds alternatives and leaves the choice to the user. ## Different answers, not different tints Each variant is a different answer to the same brief, on an axis this collection owns: | Axis | Owner | What varies | | --- | --- | --- | | Structure | `better-layout` | Grouping, order, column count, what collapses | | Density | `better-layout` | Spacing scale, how much fits | | Emphasis | `better-colors` | Where filled color goes, what recedes | | Type | `better-typography` | Scale steps, weight contrast, measure | | Voice | `better-writing` | Labels, tone, how much copy | Pick **one primary axis** and give each variant a different position on it. The axis names the picker's group heading. Secondary choices follow from it rather than varying on their own. A dense variant may need a smaller type step, and that is coherence, not a second axis. ## The floor every variant clears …

How to install
mdr add transitive-bullshit/skills/variant@sha256:a1e992bf8cf4a770The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.ef64499, 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.
