Build any interface by loading a preset instead of re-deriving one: dashboards, tables, forms, detail views, settings, wizards, feeds, HUD panels, landing pages. Use when asked to build, show, visualize, lay out or mock up a screen, dashboard, chart, UI or app, when the user wants to see data rather than be told it, and before generating any UI from a data source. Also fires on: looks bad, looks generic, ai slop, slop, ugly, redesign, restyle, make it look, landing page, hero section…

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

# Interface

Build it by loading, not by inventing.

The problem this exists for, in Caleb's words: **"right now it's laggy because
it's needed to every time recalibrate how to make something."** The cost of
generating a UI is not rendering. It is the model re-deciding, per request,
what a dashboard is, what spacing to use, what a good table looks like and
where the data comes from. All four of those are written down here, once.

## The order, every time

1. **Name the template.** `references/taxonomy.md` has ten. The request is
   almost always one of them, and the one most people mean is Dashboard.
2. **Name the organisms it holds**, from the same file. Stop here if you are
   about to invent a component that already has a name.
3. **Find the data** in `references/data-loaders.md`, and when it is not there
   use `references/discover-data.md` to go find it, appending what you learn
   back into the loaders file so the next session does not repeat the search.
4. **Apply the system**, from [crafts/interface.md](../../crafts/interface.md):
   grayscale first, the constrained scale, hierarchy by size and weight and
   color, too much whitespace then remove, details last.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add calebnewtonusc/chewbacca/interface@sha256:75904a3995bab3c4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.d6b25c9, 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.
