Discover, validate, or draft a project-owned DESIGN.md before adding or revising UI in an existing frontend. Use during design-playbook initialization when a repository already has pages, components, themes, tokens, or styles; when new UI looks inconsistent with existing surfaces; when DESIGN.md may be missing, incomplete, conflicting, or stale; or when the user asks to generate a design system from existing frontend source. Produces a provenance-backed draft and requires confirmation before…

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

# design-baseline

Establish one project-owned visual authority before UI decisions or Fill. Treat existing code and rendered pages as evidence, not as permission to silently rewrite `DESIGN.md`.

## Authority boundary

| This skill owns | Does not own |
| --- | --- |
| Discovering and structurally validating project `DESIGN.md` | Functional success criteria (`spec` L1–L6) |
| Extracting a draft from first-party frontend source | Third-party reference Keep/Change/Do not copy (`reference-intake`) |
| Source hashes, observed/inferred labels, confidence, unresolved gaps | Component/template selection (`ui-picker`) |
| Confirmation before a durable baseline write | Pass/Fail verdict (`ui-evaluator`) |

Canonical authority is `<project-root>/DESIGN.md`. Accept `.stitch/DESIGN.md` as a compatibility candidate only. If both exist with different content, stop for an explicit user choice; never merge them silently.

## Deep module (SSOT for deterministic work)

All path resolution, scanning, drafting, hashing, durable write, and re-verification live in one module:

[`scripts/design_baseline.py`](scripts/design_baseline.py)

Public interface:

```python

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bandersnatch0x/design-playbook/design-baseline@sha256:81f90dbc3c67f541

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.189797b, 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.
