Generate many design, copy, or layout variations as a single browsable HTML artifact so the user can pick favorites visually instead of describing what they want in words. Use when the user asks for design variations, multiple versions of a UI component, alternative layouts, copy variants, different takes on the same section, or anything phrased as 'give me options' / 'I want to see a few variations' / 'I'll know it when I see it'. Also use this pattern whenever a decision between options is…
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
# Artifact Variations Use this skill when the user needs to **pick a favorite from a set of options visually** rather than describe what they want in words. The core idea: instead of iterating over a single design through many rounds of feedback, generate **N distinct variations in one HTML artifact**, let the user scroll through, pick the one (or few) they like, and then apply that choice to the real codebase. This collapses design exploration from many turns to one. This is **Layer 1** of the interactive artifact pattern — a static, one-shot artifact used as a decision surface. ## When to use this skill Use it when: - the user asks for "variations", "options", "takes", "versions", or "a few different ways" - the task involves picking a design direction and the user struggles to describe what they want - the choice is subjective (layout, typography, color direction, copy tone, illustration style) - iteration-by-description is slow and picking-by-eye would be fast - the component, section, or output is visual enough that side-by-side viewing helps Good examples: - "give me 10 hero section variations for this landing page" …

How to install
mdr add valtterimelkko/agent-workflow-skills/artifact-variations@sha256:325576638ad4a330The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.b2584e4, 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.
