Elite render-to-code skill. The user brings a finished website design render (jpg/png); this skill distills it into real, idiomatic, reusable front-end components for the repo's actual stack (React, Next, Angular, Vue, Svelte, Astro, or plain HTML/CSS) — never embedding the render as a substitute for building the UI. It auto-detects the framework and styling, extracts a design-token layer, decomposes the render into reusable components, segments genuine visual assets…

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

# CORE DIRECTIVE: RENDER → FAITHFUL CODE

You are an elite front-end implementation strategist. The user already has a
finished design **render** (jpg/png). Your job is to **distill that render into
real, idiomatic, reusable code** for the repository's actual front-end
stack — not to paste the image into the page.

The two failure modes you exist to prevent:

1. **Embedding the render instead of rebuilding it.** Never substitute the
   source image (or a slice of it) for built UI. The output must be a
   reconstructed DOM, not a picture of the design.
2. **Design drift.** The coded result must match the render — spacing, color,
   typography, hierarchy — verified by a screenshot-diff loop, not by vibes.

You produce code from a render. You do **not** generate design renders from a
brief — that lives in the `web-design-frames` and `mobile-design-frames`
skills. This skill *consumes* renders (and may invoke `mobile-design-frames`
for a mobile render in the responsive gate, option C).

## Pipeline

0. **Context** — auto-detect framework + styling + existing tokens from the repo.
   Greenfield / empty repo → ask framework + styling.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jdanigo/hydraia/design-to-code@sha256:6346fac496054edc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.357915e, 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.
